dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
Snapshot of a Dog
My dad sent me a photo of our old dog, Bonzo, he found while going through boxes of old pictures. It was a later picture of him, I could tell by how fat he was. Nobody has been able to accurately figure out what breed he was. My dad came closest with a German Shepard mutt, but my brother’s, “a big one,” and my mom’s, “a stupid one,” seem just as accurate. The photo shows him lying in his usual spot at my grandma’s house on the faded orange shag carpet right next to the front door, waiting for someone to open it and accidentally hit him. During the later years of his life, it seemed like he had become one with the carpet. Laying down whenever we would get to her house, only getting up whenever we would fill up his bowl at meal times. This was far from the dog that had run around the house just years prior.

The Love Languages of Dogs
I have been working as a dog-walker for only a few months. I have always been a diehard dog fanatic, but through my work life, I've been introduced to a broader range of canine personalities than I even knew existed before. Growing up with a Golden Retriever mix, I became used to the idea that all dogs flipped out with glee at the mention of a W-A-L-K, died and went to Heaven (metaphorically speaking) at dinner time, and couldn't wait 'til the next time they got to lick your face.

Floppy-Eared Love
Dear Readers, I figured I would be a little lighter this time, so I decided to write about my baby girl Gremlin. Now that isn’t her real name, but I do call her that due to this face she gives me when she wants something from me (usually food or extra room on the bed).

Snow Angels
These are my angel doggies in heaven. Ella was a beautiful outside German Shepherd who was the very first dog I ever remember getting as a family. She wanted nothing to do with the indoors unless it was storming outside, since it usually led her to be pretty anxious. Every guest that had to pass her metal gate would be intimidated by her noisy and promising bark. While she did an outstanding job of making it seem the opposite, she would never hurt a fly. That could never be her. We had Ella for 12 years and she passed suddenly overnight, more than likely due to heart problems that we had no idea about.

Easy DIY Dog Food for Homemade Diets
Many regard their pets as members of their family. They share a last name, a bed, and appear in annual holiday photos. But did you know that the FDA allows waste that equals the weight of 1,300 Brooklyn Bridges to be dumped into commercial pet food? That’s right, mass-produced pet food has become a waste disposal system that contains diseased and decomposing animal carcasses. Therefore, it’s no wonder that plenty of pet owners are turning towards DIY dog diets.
