Dog Rescued From The Side Of The Road Can’t Stop Smiling
Have you ever been in a situation that looked bleak only for things to turn around and work out in your favor? I bet we’ve all had at least one instance like that. It usually leads to a huge feeling of relief that leaves us feeling giddy because we know that the nightmare situation is over. The same can sometimes happen for our animals – particularly, for stray animals who find themselves leaving behind really awful situations. While they can’t vocalize it the same way as humans, it is still quite clear by their behavior...

Loving Dog Can’t Wait For Her Baby Sister To Be Born
Waiting for a new baby to arrive can be incredibly exciting. Not only are the parents excited, but siblings, relatives, and even pets can be excited too! Dogs, especially, are quite intuitive when it comes to pregnancy. It seems they know that things are changing, and some might even suspect a baby is on the way. One sweet dog named Penelope was waiting for her baby sister to arrive and she couldn’t be more excited about it.

Woman Creates A Zen Garden On Her Sleeping Cat
Cats can be chill and docile, or feisty and energetic. It depends on the cat, but it also depends on their mood. If you happen to have a calm cat, you may want to try turning them into a zen garden like a cat in Sydney, Australia got to do. That cat, Lola, has a sandy gray color making her the perfect canvas for a zen garden. Not only that, but she’s naturally relaxed and calm.

Puppies Peek Under Fence To See Their New Cat Neighbor
Billy the Bengal used to enjoy a backyard to himself, but now he has the company of three new puppies who moved in next door.

Of course, Billy quickly took notice and was also curious about them. Bengals are known to be sweet, loving, and playful cats who need a lot of exercise and space to play. It seems they may just make great companions for dogs, as...
Dog Proudly Helps Carry Groceries In From The Car
Dogs are part of the family but they don’t always contribute to the home in the way everyone else does. They eat, drink, and require exercise and love – but they don’t usually help out with chores or household duties. Of course, we love them anyway, but it would be nice to have an extra hand every now and again. For some lucky dog owners, their pets seem to know this and provide some help to their owners when needed. For example, one lady trained her dog to fetch her a cocktail on command while another helped push a stalled...
Why You Shouldn’t Put Your Address On Your Dog’s Collar
If you have a dog, you know it’s not uncommon for people to stop and pet them or ask about them while out on a walk or at the dog park. Most of those people just love dogs and are excited to get to know one, but some of them don’t always have the best intentions. We like to think the best of people and never assume the worst, but it’s important to be aware of all the things that can happen to protect yourself and your pup. Dog theft is one common issue that many dog owners are aware of. The last thing we’d want is to...
Dog Is Unimpressed By The Other Dogs At His Daycare
At West Street Dog in Raleigh, North Carolina, patrons can stop for a drink at the bar and let their pup play in an off-leash area. They even offer boarding and doggy daycare, making it a truly special place for every dog! Every dog, that is, except one: Pogo sits at the bar, looking like she’s seen it all.
