A Nurse Cat is the Source of Comfort and Hope for the Patients in Look Ahead Veterinary Hospital
There’s a dreadful feeling whenever a hospital crosses your mind. Although it’s also a place of birth, most people who stay in hospitals either have a disease or got into an accident.

Sweet Yet Shy American Staffie Needs Someone Just Like You Now!
It’s tough facing the world alone. Just ask Ajax, a handsome, guy who has spent a long time in an animal shelter waiting for a family of his own.

It’s National Cuddle Up Day! Who Will You Be Cuddling Up With?
Happy National Cuddle Up Day to all! In case you’re unfamiliar, it’s a day for cuddling and snuggling with someone you want to be close to.

Two-Legged Fox Blowing People’s Minds for its Balance and Agility
A video clip making the rounds filmed by Phil and Jane Carter at their Ilkeston, Derbyshire, home is blowing the minds of viewers everywhere. It captures a fox scavenging in their rear garden, which isn’t all that unusual except for the fact this particular fox is maneuvering on just two legs, not four. It’s not as if the animal’s back legs were injured, forcing it to ambulate on its front legs only. It’s that its two hind legs are missing altogether.

Army Veteran Couple Was Floundering in Civilian Life – Until They Started This Eccentric Farm

They got married on leave halfway through their 14-month deployment and haven’t looked back. “It definitely made for an interesting first year of marriage,” she laughs, recalling their time together in the Army. “Which I guess is why we’ve been able to be together so long...
Dog Owner Shares What It’s Like To Eat With Great Danes In The House
If you’ve had dogs in your home before, you likely know that even the best-behaved dogs can turn on those big ol’ puppy dog eyes when food comes out! My dog, Jax, would never take food without asking and he doesn’t beg, but whenever I eat, he’ll casually lay under the table hoping for a loose scrap of food to fall. I think it’s adorable, but that’s partially because he’s small enough to curl up by my feet without causing a ruckus. Photo: Pexels/Chris F For those with bigger dogs, meal times can be a...
Stray Dog Gives Birth To Puppies In Nativity Scene Manger
When the holiday season rolls around each year, it’s not uncommon to spot nativity scenes mixed in with Santa Clause and candy cane decorations. While many historians believe Jesus was born in in the warmer months between spring and autumn when shepherds would be out in the fields, the church adopted the celebration of his birthday right around the time of other winter celebrations, such as the winter solstice, Yule, and Saturnalia.
