Woman Creates A Chair That Allows Needy Pets To Sit By You While You Work
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have been working from home. It seems everyone has a home office these days and employers are allowing more flexibility when it comes to location. For many people working from home, it allows them more time to spend with their pets. Naturally, our furry friends are so excited to have us home and don’t want to leave our side for one minute. While this is great, it can also be problematic. It’s hard to focus on work, take a Zoom call, or type properly with a dog or cat sitting on...
Rescue Dog Whose Snout Was Chopped Off Finds A Loving Forever Home
One dog’s tragedy turned into a story of inspiration for people around the world when he found his happily ever after in a loving forever home. Back in 2010, Wacku was living with his owner, a taxi stand owner. His owner had him around as a guard dog for the first two years of his life. Unfortunately, in 2012, he was working as a guard dog like usual, when a drunk man attacked him with a machete. During the attack, the man chopped off Wacku’s snout and left him bleeding profusely.

Easter Lilies Are Extremely Poisonous To Cats
The Easter lily with its large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers and intoxicating fragrance is often brought indoors to celebrate spring and Easter. But just one nibble on the plant or sniff of pollen can be fatal to cats. Cats are curious by nature and will investigate anything new in the home, especially if the item is breakable or dangerous. Maybe that is why they are said to have nine lives. Photo: Pixabay Cat parents do their best to keep their beloved felines safe, but it’s a full-time job. Cats can jump, climb, and leap onto any...
10 Famous People Who Are Crazy For Cats
Crazy is defined as being either “mentally deranged” or “extremely enthusiastic”. When it comes to ‘crazy’ cat ladies and gentleman they are definitely the latter. Anyone who isn’t extremely enthusiastic about cats must be mentally deranged, right? Cats actually improve our mental health and let’s be honest, they keep us entertained and sane. For decades, people have stereotyped cat ladies as lonely spinsters who own multiple cats. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Check out...
Heartworm Holds Extra Danger For Shelter Dogs. But You Can Help Us Fly Rescues To Safety During Heartworm Awareness Month
Life isn’t kind to shelter dogs, who – on top of abuse, neglect, and whatever other indignities they’ve suffered in life– spend their days in noisy, crowded shelters desperately waiting to be adopted. But shelters can prove deadly for heartworm-positive rescue dogs, who are often euthanized when shelters lack the time, money, and space to treat this dangerous disease. According to the American Heartworm Society, Louisiana is one of America’s leading states for heartworm infection, placing shelter dogs in the...
Carriage Horses in New York City Are Forced To Work 9-Hour Days, 7 Days A Week
It was February in New York City when a 12-year-old carriage horse named Aisha collapsed in Central Park. Aisha struggled to stand for at least 15 minutes before crumpling on the side of the road.

Cockatoo Does A Near-Flawless Impression Of A Chicken
I’ve never been much of a bird person. Don’t get me wrong, I like birds, I think some of them have beautiful plumage, but I just never thought of them as being pets with a whole lot of personality the same way that cats, pigs, or dogs have. That is until I met my aunt’s Cockatoo. She definitely changed my mind about birds as pets. They actually have loads of personality. One 26-year-old Moluccan Cockatoo named Max is quite the entertainer. He has his own YouTube channel where he frequently videos of him living his best...
Man Builds A Machine That Alerts Him Whenever A Dog Walks By The House
We’ve all been in some form of quarantine going on for more than a year now. As a proud introvert and natural homebody, I can honestly say that even I’m struggling with the situation. Being stuck inside for so long isn’t easy. We’ve all had to find ways of coping with the stagnant feel of life. For some of us, that has meant taking on DIY projects around the house. For others, it has meant throwing ourselves into our passion projects and hobbies. Photo: YouTube/Ryder Calm Down But for one YouTuber, Ryder, it has meant...
