Woman Creates Beautiful Memorials For Wild Animals She Finds On The Side Of The Road
Death can be a very touchy subject for people. No one really likes to think about it as it just emphasizes our own mortality. However, as much as some of us might be scared by the concept of death, it is a normal part of life. It is all cyclical and no one is exempt from it – not even animals. Now, when it comes to death, we humans like to do something to memorialize the person who has passed on. Many of us who have pets of our own tend to do the same to show our respects for our furry friends. Photo: flickr/Phil But what about those...
How To Avoid Cat Collar Injuries
Cat collars are great for making sure that your cat can be easily identified if they get lost. Of course, microchipping your pet is the best way to ensure that your pet stays safe and identifiable, but the collar helps give a visual ID to your pet as it contains their name and a contact phone number. Cat collars can also be fun to personalize, as you have so many different colors and patterns to choose from, you can easily find something that aligns with your cat’s personality.

Rescue Dog Stared At Wall For Hours Until He Realized He Was Safe
Adopting a dog is a wonderful thing that anyone can do. It’s a way of giving an animal in need a loving, forever home. However, anyone who has ever adopted a dog knows that they sometimes come with their own set of issues. Mainly, they can be pretty shy and even fearful in the beginning. Walt, a rescue dog, was no different. He was quite fearful of his new forever home when he was adopted. In fact, the poor dog couldn’t even bring himself to make eye contact with them the entire car ride home. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo He...
Dog Caught Digging In The Yard Pretends He’s Innocent
Dogs are wonderful companions, but they can also be quite naughty at times. Catching a dog in the act of something bad can actually be quite hilarious. It’s like they know they’ve been caught, and their default is to pretend that they weren’t actually committing the crime. In Lodi, New Jersey, one adorable pooch thought that he was being clever covering his tracks, but in reality, he was just making for a great viral video. Photo: PXHERE The dog, whose name is Cooper, had started digging in his backyard. It was a very risky...
Dog Found Abandoned In The Woods Gets A New Forever Home
All dogs deserve to be loved. Sadly, not every dog experiences this in its lifetime. Some are strays that end up living very tough lives on the streets, but sometimes they get a lucky break when someone kind decides to take a chance on them. Mica was a little pooch who was living a very rough life on the streets. She was cold and hungry, making her home inside a ditch with only a blanket to keep her warm. Photo: Facebook/The Dodo Fortunately for the little dog, she was found by Diana. Diana knew that the dog most likely had been there all...

Heroic Dog Takes Rattlesnake Bite To Save Owner
There is no greater love than that of a dog. They will definitely do anything for the people they love, include taking a snake bite.

I mean, those gorgeous costumed people on your TV may not break several things in your home during the process of entertaining you like your feline friend does, but that’s okay. What is it about lasers that make your cat go a touch crazy and possibly leave a...
