While much of the U.S. is facing the fact that warm temperatures are slowly fading, the southern part of the country still has a good deal of time before it starts to feel like fall. Whether you’re in South Carolina like me or Los Angeles like these bears, the heat index is real. While I […]
It’s a shocking statistic: of the 7.6 million animals that enter shelters in the U.S. every year, about 2.7 million of them are euthanized. Their stories are all different — some are suffering from incurable diseases, others are deemed too aggressive, and then there are those who could be saved but aren’t given a second […]
Every little girl or boy who’s ever watched Disney knows that woodland creatures make the most loyal friends. At least, that’s what the animated enterprise taught us. Sadly, as I grew up, I learned that while I desperately wanted to be friends with little fawns and tiny chipmunks, they’re not so into it. But that […]
I love my job. I mean, who wouldn’t? I get to write about puppies, kittens, inspiring stories, travel destinations…you name it! But that doesn’t mean I don’t have serious job-envy of others. No, I’m not talking about people who earn millions or travel the world for a living (though that is up there)…instead, I am […]
Our pets have so much to teach us… From how to love unconditionally to the right way to enjoy a walk and even some lessons on making new friends (read: everyone can be a new friend), they’re so wise. While some things are best left to their world — *ahem* like smelling butts to become […]
Compared to dogs, cats get kind of a bad rap. Sure, some of them seem entitled, mean for no reason, and just all around uninterested when we’re craving their love…but others have incredibly admirable characteristics, too. Take this cat, for instance. While some felines have been known to lash out for god knows what, this […]
My dog is a great cuddle buddy, she’s always there when I need company, and she makes sure I get outside for a walk every single day. But if I ask her to do the dishes or answer the phone? Forget about it. Then again, not all pets are so lazy when it comes to […]
Moms, dads, you know that being a parent is one of the most — if not THE most rewarding thing you’ll ever do. Oh yeah, and it’s also the most tiring thing. Yes, it’s totally worth it when you see your little ones grow into responsible adults. But it’s a long process to get there. […]
This is probably what comes to mind when you picture a mountain — triangular, snowcapped peaks piercing the sky. Flickr / Adarsh Thakuri But Mount Roraima is about to change that notion. The flat-faced tepui, or tabletop mountain, spans three countries’ borders in South America: Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana. From afar, it might not look […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Some dogs are just naturally prone to fetching. My dog loves to run after things, but bringing them back? Nah. She’d rather just keep it, or drop it somewhere far, far away. But ask Luke the German shepherd to fetch anything…including his brother, and he’s more than eager to do just […]
