The Day Zoe Saved Me
I was a property manager for a company that would send me to different locations they owned to “clean up” when they were having problems. In other words, get out the riff-raff, drugs, etc. The company sent me to a mobile home community that was in pretty bad shape.

Off to the vet to find the one pound, six week old kitten had a dislocated elbow that was terribly infected. The...

Rescue Puppy Named ‘Chunky Monkey’ Goes Viral For Falling Asleep During The Puppy Bowl
For many, “the big game” is synonymous with the Super Bowl. But to millions of us dog lovers, it’s all about the Puppy Bowl! This year’s Puppy Bowl XVII had plenty to offer: Hosted by Martha Stuart and Snoop Dogg, the event followed 70 adoptable puppies as they participated by playing tug, chasing each other, and gradually nudging the ball towards the end zone.
