literature
Animals make great literature even greater: from Toto to Wilbur to the three little kittens who lost their mittens.
A Tall Tail
The Milligan's Yesterday I got in trouble with the neighbour Mrs. Milligan and reprimanded by Suitcase, so today I am lying low. In fairness to me, how was I supposed to know that the pretty green birdy in the cage was not breakfast? As a rule, I try not to eat other pets in the house, with the exception of Sleepy's hamster, Auggie. If ever I get my paws on that rotating weasel, it will be game over. He is equivalent to a bad roommate who plays loud music all night and in the morning asks you if you slept well? Every night when I am just about to fall asleep, Auggie hops on his wheel, taunting me. He jogs for hours, his face stuffed with seeds. Sometimes he poops and jogs at the same time. Seriously, who exercises like that?
Tall Tails: Diary of a CatPublished 2 years ago in PetlifeIf Dogs Could Think and Speak
My wife and I first met Rufio on our first trip to Australia in 2015 when we went to visit our daughter and her fiancé. We had seen pictures before, of course, but meeting this rambunctious Keltie cross was a treat. Rufio was a happy dog who loved people and who loved to go for walks. I learned early not to say the word "walk" because Rufio would fairly jump out of his skin with excitement.

It is always scary for us when our beloved pets run away from home. Most of the time, this happens at the worst possible time. This story is no different.
Harriet and Her Snowman
With one ear up and one ear down and a heart-stamped nose above that cute little frown, Harriet watched from the window as the fresh snow powdered everything in sight.
My Feline Friend
My Feline Friend Dear Diary, I've asked my parents for years to buy me a pet. They finally said yes. We went to the pet store. It didn't take me long to know which one I wanted. The cutest, tiniest, grey kitten with black stripes and a white belly stood out to me. And he wasn't going to be hard to name since I came up with a name right there on the spot - Spikey.
Shahidah AhmadPublished 3 years ago in PetlifeThe Shark That Could Dance
*Disco music playing in the background* It’s story time. There once lived a shark that could pull at our mesmerization and tell us new truths. His name is Eddie and whoa is a great dancer. He’s a cool guy that needs the praise. The depths of the ocean aren’t enough for him. Although many of the other ocean creatures are hip and all on the hop they don’t compare to this shark and Eddie is one to accept his worship. He’s fluent in ballet, tap, the tangos, and choreography but many reject him due him being the only one of sharks that can do it all and is the only one that is prominent in his actions.
Keanna BarryPublished 3 years ago in PetlifeMy name is JK GROWLING
What's up! My name is JK Growling and in case you did not know I am the king of all dogs. I mean honestly you will not find a better dog than me. But that is not what you wanted to talk to me about is it? Let me finish chasing my tail and I will be right with you...Oh yeah, chasing your tail is the best it even beats poppin' a squat there at your feet. You may wonder how it is possible for me to talk. Well as I said before I am no ordinary dog. Truth be told dogs have been talking all this time. You just never paid attention. Which is not surprising humans never pay attention much. Well you wanted to talk didn't ya? Let us get to it.

Like most people I take personal issue with spiders. I am absolutely terrified of anything that has more than four legs. Yep, you guessed it, that means: spiders, scorpions, beetles, millipedes, and centipedes. The shocking thing is that I have no issue what so ever with tarantulas; I even nursed a tarantula with a broken leg when I was about six years old.
Kristen ReneePublished 3 years ago in PetlifeWoof
It was five thirty in the morning, and I could hear my alarm going off. I reached over to hit the snooze, but all I hit was carpet. As I banged the carpet, I also realized that, for some reason, my fingers were missing. I opened my eyes and realized that something was very, very wrong. First, I was not in my bed, but on the floor. Second, my hand that had reached for the alarm was not a hand. It was a paw.
Lori AntrimPublished 3 years ago in PetlifeConfessions of a Circus Dog
I often looked straight ahead and couldn’t describe it. Every object and every human were melted into one black hole, I think the same as my eyes. I couldn’t tell well as for us, dogs, it’s usually very little we could ask from life: a bowl of food or water and a shelter from our generous owner. I could have that. Only that. I didn’t have anything else. Loud music all day, bumpy road, and all those arguments the others had with each other constantly. Being able to speak doesn’t mean that you have to use your mouth all day. I would know what to do with my speech if I could talk. I imagine other dogs have a lot of fun with their owners, I saw them many times walking next to me, behind this wire fence they always separate the circus from the rest of the world. The other dogs walked proudly, some of them never stopped, some of them just barked at me. I never respond because they usually speak with such an aristocratic dialect I don’t quite follow. And they wouldn’t understand me probably too, if I opened my muzzle.
Mescaline BrissetPublished 3 years ago in PetlifeMeeting Mr B 🐾
The 1st time I saw Mr B. I fell in love with him. I think he fell in love with me too. Our energy together was priceless. He was the cutest lil guy I had ever seen. His cream & white coloring, with these big brown eyes & the cutest pointy lil big ears. He is a 8 month old chihuahua / pomeranian mix. Mr B was rescued from an abusive home and this guy I was dating at the time rescued him from that situation. I then rescued Mr B from the guy I was dating. I believe he (the human guy) thought Mr B was there to rescue him instead of the other way around. He wasn't properly caring for Mr B, For the age he was he wasn't going potty outside, he was left alone all day long while the guy went to work all day & the bar all night afterwards. He had him scratching with an infestation of fleas for a couple of months. I can't begin to tell you the numerous amount of arguments we had that were brought about because of him not caring for "B" correctly. I used to ask why am I arguing with you over "your" dog?
Fabulous I AMPublished 3 years ago in PetlifeA Minute with a Wanderer
What's that, it, it moves quick, a bug, oh I hope a fly not a bee. Wow its a beautiful bug, bright kind of yellow like the suns reflection on the puddles after the rain. Oh I should get a move on the humans will come out soon. A suppose a big stretch is in order I have far to go. Today is market day the vendors leave all kinds of good stuff to eat behind its good humans are forgetful of their greed and quick to through it away.
