The Great Pig Escape -
Cher King (37)  
Our farm is located in a small town (pop. 400) that essentially is a bedroom community. A bedroom community is best described as everyone works out of town.

Avis Ward   
The number of healthy dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that are euthanized (killed) each day in the United States is almost too big for the average person to comprehend. The estimates range from source to source, but mid-ranges are roughly between 6 to 8 million pets euthanized each year. This... ( added 2 years 186 days ago.) |

Mike Fak (5,738)  
Mike Fak
When readers drop me notes or call me about something, I make a little note on the old floppy disk. Eventually enough information or common remarks from many of you cause me to try to render your thoughts into a coherent article. One of these days I hope I do one. My file on pets and pet stories...

In Loving Memory of Cinder (1987 2005)
I've been putting off writing this article for several weeks now. I'm not lazy. I simply know that I'm dealing with a subject that's bittersweet, and one that touches off many emotions for me. It's been difficult trying to figure out where to... ( added 3 years 78 days ago.) |
Songs About Cats (or are they?) -
 - Larry Chamberlain (2,821)
Perhaps the most famous Cat Song is The Siamese Cat Song recorded by

The Tramp", an animated film about a classy Cocker Spaniel named Lady
who falls for Tramp a scamp of a mongrel. The song however is about... ( added 3 years 100 days ago.) |
Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think! -
Dean Hall (22)
Just because your wonder dog can't "talk" to you in your language of
choice doesn't mean a lack of intelligence. While the experts argue
about how to define intelligence in dogs anyone who has ever really
loved a dog knows there's something going on behind those sparkling
eyes.
Now... ( added 3 years 350 days ago.) |
Things You should never feed your Dog -
primeryder (120)
Unfortunately, there are a number of household items which we tend to take for granted that are potentially very dangerous to your dog's health.

Rider Conduct on Horse Trail Rides -
- The Old Gray Mare (1,491) 
The Old Gray Mare
Trail riding is the horseman's way of communing with nature. Fresh air, quiet paths, the twittering of birds, possibly a spooked deer - it's a magical time when you are astride your favorite horse. This beauty, peace and quiet comes with some responsibility, however. Whether you head out alone to... ( added 23 days 17 hours ago.) |

The Old Gray Mare
Looking back Old memories are coming back since I've started writing again. Mulling around in my head are many high and low points - and there are those that I thought I would never live through. I did - and it all turned out OK.

Joel Hendon
Those readers who may have read an earlier article of mine, Mitchell Hendon (1994-2009) My Final Dog, are aware of the loss of my little Rat Terrier. In the article, I did not mention the fact that we lost our cat about the same time. I did not mention him simply because he was pretty worthless... ( added 33 days 7 hours ago.) |
How to Avoid a Bear Attack -
- Kathy Tally (78)
The best way to avoid a bear attack is to stay in the city. Unless you're traipsing off to the wilds of Alaska, Canada, or downtown Yosemite, you have a better chance of getting a hangnail than you have of encountering a bear. But if you're reading this article I assume you're either interested... ( added 38 days ago.) |
My Horses Do Not Kick! -
Lilian Hampton (60)
There is an old cowboy saying and it goes like this: "Never approach a bull from the front," "A horse from the rear," "Or a fool from any direction." Those old cowboys, they have such a way with words. And this is true, of course, when speaking in general terms and when speaking of untrained... ( added 52 days 5 hours ago.) |
Rocky 2 (A Sly Rooster) -
Chris Cole (840) 
"Listen, we are not splitting atoms here!" I yelled to no-one in particular. After three days of not sleeping I had to remind myself of my goal, or should I say my crusade. I simply have to eradicate the rooster preferably in a slow and painful fashion. I decided it had to be a slow thing, kind... ( added 63 days 4 hours ago.) |
The Benefits of Owning A Goldendoodle -
Abigail Richards (10,363) 
Abigail Richards
When a friend of mine recently announced she was getting a Goldendoodle as a pet for her family, I was a little taken aback. "A golden what?" I said laughing. "A goldendoodle," she exclaimed.

Horses, Cows, a Barn and a Stream -
Carol Yourist (124)
Although Texas has many incredible farms, there is one very unique one just outside of Houston. It lies snuggled lazily between an old plantation and a school. On one side of the road, you see the normal barns, tractors, hay and a house. However, on the other side of the road the view is... ( added 85 days 20 hours ago.) |
A Puppy For My Father -
Carol Yourist (124)
After a year in Indiana I got transferred back to Los Angeles, so my father volunteered to care for my 2 Poodles. When the time came for them to be air-freighted to me, he had fallen hopelessly in love with them so I promised I'd get him a puppy.
Getting settled included purchasing a new sofa... ( added 85 days 20 hours ago.) |

A Case of To Believe or Not To Believe Ones Eyes---Mountain Lions -
Sandra E. Graham (7,883)  
Sandra E. Graham
Living in the 'outback' as we do (Arkansas , not Australia) one shouldn't find it hard to believe that we sometimes see strange animals wandering up out of the woods off and on. About two years ago I saw a huge forty or fifty pound rat swimming across our pond-it turned out to be a beaver. Oh... ( added 170 days 22 hours ago.) |

My First Horse Riding Show -
Dianne Lehmann (5,182) 
Dianne Lehmann
No, I wasn't in it. I just attended to watch my friend ride two dressage tests. I'd only been there a couple of minutes when I was put to work. It's a small club and the turnout wasn't huge, so an extra pair of hands was most welcome. I didn't mind at all and truthfully was flattered by the trust... ( added 181 days 7 hours ago.) |
Cats Go Well With a Little Garlic -
Steve Kovacs (4,545)  
Steve Kovacs
I never liked cats. I did not hate them but I thought they were aloof, unfriendly, and simply did not like people. I'd jokingly say when asked if I liked the little critters, "yeah, I like cats, they go well with a little garlic", joking they'd be a good meal with the right spice.
About 10... ( added 183 days 16 hours ago.) |

Dianne Lehmann
It's Saturday afternoon and I am sitting at my computer. Truth is, I've been sitting here pretty much all day long. I just don't feel like doing much else.
