My cat died on Friday
My cat died on Friday. One of my cats. I have two. Had. It was sudden, quick, horrible, and in my arms, and now I feel funny about my arms. Like they betrayed me somehow, these strong, capable limbs I use to love and to care, vessels, instead, of dying.
Hannah MoorePublished 7 days ago in PetlifeLooking Back at Our Building Year
Away, 2023--Onward, 2024! So, last year was a building year. More accurately, it was a REbuilding year. In 2023, Kathleen and I found ourselves bottlenecked with our dogs. I only had one goat left and he was a male, which is fine unless you have dairy goats for milk! Dan and I had become dissatisfied with buying our laying hens from other people, and so embarked on creating our own landrace. He and I also re-evaluated what we were doing, gardening-wise, now that he's recovering and feeling more like himself. And, finally, I decided to make another attempt at raising quail for meat and for eggs. Phew! We were busy, even though we didn't seem to be doing much!
Kimberly J EganPublished 24 days ago in PetlifeTen Lessons I Learned From My Dog
I don't get people who don't get dogs. I don't like all dogs, just like I don't like all people. They have distinct personalities, and some are infinitely more likeable than others. Some are probably basically decent, but seem to have been poorly raised. But on the whole, I'm a dog person, and I'm going to spell it out to you exactly why.

“Home.” It’s a sound I’ve heard many, many times. I wasn’t sure what it meant, but I do know that it scared me. Whenever I heard that word spoken about one of my friends, I never saw them again. I missed my friends. I missed the ball games we used to play, and the wrestling matches we’d have while rolling around on the grass in the garden.

Elmer's Gourmet Tale: A Canine's Journey to Personalized Nutrition
Elmer's Journey Begins: A Tailored Approach to Nutrition Elmer is a six-year-old Basset Hound who lives with his loving family in the suburbs! Typically he has lots of energy and is playful and cheery. However, his parents noticed a significant change in his personality - he just wasn’t his usual self and lacked his unique characteristics. This worsened around meal times. Concerned, his parents knew they needed to find a way to bring back the Elmer that they knew. They searched online and stumbled upon Ollie's dog food. What intrigued them to give Ollie a deeper look was the way that Ollie seems to be a personal chef for pets, offering meals that can be customized for their unique needs and preferences.

Stewie's Tail-Wagging Transformation: How Ollie Food Fuels My Three-Legged Race to Health and Happiness
Why I’m an Ollie Pack Dog: Hello everypawdy! My name is Stewie. I'm seven years young and I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. My mama rescued me in 2021, just five weeks after I became a tripaw. Don't fret, I can still run super fast! I even participate in our local Chihuahua Races. I adore belly rubs, relish walkies, and have fun playing with my lamb chop stuffed animal. My mom is my best friend, and I never truly understood love until she rescued me. I am a very spoiled (and might I add, handsome) boy. I love being social, dressing up in fun outfits, and always being the center of attention. The puperazzi can't get enough of me!

Revitalized and Radiant: Cali's Journey with Ollie

She's also become super affectionate lately. She can't get enough cuddles and often nudges me for more attention, looking at me with those playful, loving eyes. And when it's playtime?
