Pets

I have personally found the beloved mutts I've met to be among the smartest, sassiest, delightfully cute companions you could ever hope for.

Authorities were roasted on social media for "arresting" the goat for not wearing a face mask.

As I blended ingredients he leaned in to check my work for quality. Oh my gosh, my cat is turning into a fuzzier, but still yellow-haired, Gordon Ramsey.

Competing head-to-head with babies for the top spot on the list of “cute things everyone loves,” puppies bring an earnest playfulness to any room, as well as the capacity to transform a mediocre moment into something to smile about.

My schnauzer just destroyed my daughter's dental appliance for the second time and schnauzers aren't even on the list of the most destructive dog breeds. Which ones could possibly be worse?

I don't know what I'd do without my cats. They can be delightfully affectionate companions who can instantly lower your stress levels in almost tangible ways.

We look forward to celebrating the birth of our great nation each July 4th and we often times do that with fireworks, but those fireworks can cause anxiety among our pets.

To me, loving animals is not just only about how they make us feel. It's an act of seeing them with as much compassion and clarity that we can at the time.

That's about 140 in people years.

I'm okay for now, but come July--Should I hide in the shade? Check. Ice water? Check. Consume as many popsicles as possible? Got it. Any other suggestions?

Please. Get those tags out of the closet and make sure your pets are easily identifiable by those who'd like to help get them home to you as soon as possible.

June is "Adopt-A-Cat" Month! Why not consider adding one of these delightful/funny/calming/curious creatures to your life?
