Attack of Shadows. Top Story - June 2023.
I've always had a natural curiosity about paranormal things, but also have been a skeptic when it comes to boogeymen and such. At 3am on March 20th, 2023, that skepticism departed for good. A series of random events in my dog situation stacked the odds in my favor before I found myself in my room, in the middle of the night, wide awake... with a shadow person.

The Life Of Ginger. Top Story - June 2023.
Ginger was a Minpin… but almost nobody knew she was a Minpin just by looking at her. She was all tan (ginger-colored hair) which happens with Minpins but seems to be seldom that it happens. She had her tail snipped a bit too short and she had big ears, people often commented how she looked like a little deer. They’d ask if she was a chihuahua, some type of terrier, some type of mix. Nope, Ginger is a Minpin.

Healthy And Hassle-Free Dog Food For Picky Eaters. Top Story - May 2023. Created with: Ollie.
Hi doggos and doggo owners alike! I’m Stripe, a Chinese crested mix who resembles the Gremlins character so much I was named after him. I am a pandemic puppy, and I turned three years old on Valentine’s Day! (Boy, time flies when you’re having fun…and eating well!)

All Ears. Top Story - March 2023.
I knew I was in trouble as soon as the email flashed up on the screen: “My office. 2pm sharp. Bring Ellie with you.” Chewing on my bottom lip, I peer over the top of my computer and click my fingers.

Dog's Eye View. Top Story - March 2023.
I woke up to a large paw in my face and 103 pounds of dog on my torso. I'm only 100 pounds, so the weight was more than noticeable. It crushed my chest, making breathing less than easy. And Rudy's nails needed a trimming. I noticed that as they bore into my face like razor blades.

Beatty Suzanna. Top Story - February 2023.
When I call her name, she is there. When I am scared, she is there. When I am crying, she is there. When I am content, she is there.

The Most Important Meal of the Day… For Pups!. Top Story - January 2023. Created with: Ollie.
Every self-help guide would agree that starting the day with a healthy meal is the key to a successful day. Could this also be true for our pups? Is it possible they’ll be more patient when you don’t have time to throw the ball for the hundredth time? Will it improve their focus to simply walk next to you on the sidewalk, rather than entrapping innocent bystanders with their never-ending leash? If you ask me, it is most definitely true for my pup, Cali! Her affection, patience, and energy are noticeably more intense when she’s had a hearty meal.

The Watcher in the Window. Top Story - December 2022.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Statuesque in her concentration, she gazed out it longingly, concentrating momentarily on the flies ticking and buzzing against the glass of her prison.

Prioritizing my Pup’s Health: Why I Switched to this Fresh Food Option. Top Story - November 2022. Created with: Ollie.
Oh, Teddy. He’s my main man! And everyone else’s, too. We all love seeing Teddy on camera—and of course, I want him to be as happy and as healthy as possible, both on camera and off.

It's Impossible to Write With a Dog. Top Story - November 2022.
It's impossible to write with a dog hovering over your shoulder. Perhaps if you have a small lap dog, like a Yorkie or a Dachshund, you may tend to disagree, but a great big fur-baby like a German Shepherd? Impossible, I say.

Nuggets. Top Story - October 2022.
I’m a proud Tokyoite and have been for my 5 years living here. The alley I live on provides cozy spots to curl up for a nap, a variety of delicious scraps, and sometimes a passerby will give me a nice scratch on my back. I purr and rub against their leg and they might even give me a bit of their tuna sandwich. Unlike my alley-mates, I’m not scared of people. I’m the only one who knows my human given name, Takeo. When I was very young I lived with some folks and they were kind to me, but they were an elderly couple. They passed away a year apart from each other. The lady of the house fed me well and let me do as I please for the last year of her life. I had been mostly an indoor cat but I think she sensed my desire for the great outdoors. I was out roaming the streets when she took her last breath. I mourned her passing, but I expected it and we cats accept death better than humans.
