Christmas puppy
There is nothing cuter than a puppy or a kitten (or a horse or a hamster) under the Christmas tree. However, all to often as the new pet grows, things just don’t work out as planned. For the well-being of all animals that become holiday gifts, the ASPCA has some excellent advice, guidelines and key questions that are very important to consider before bringing a new pet into your home this holiday season.

The Company of Animals

by Ann on December 11, 2006

Sweetie, Mist and Blue Nap With Myke
“I’ve come to the disturbing conclusion that I usually prefer the company of animals to humans. At first I thought I was just overreacting to the general indifference of most people to the plight, and intelligence, and emotional capacity, of animals, but now I think it has more to do with a preference for silent company and the realization that, as Shaw said, “the biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred.” – Blogger Dave Pollard
