  2. 'if we created a country from all the dogs & cats in the USA, they would be the 5th largest consumer of meat in the world.'
    this is the depressing truth about the 'pet' food industry. it's a massive contributor to climate change (& it's extremely brutal).

  3. Raison de vivre
    Companion animals - a reason for living

    For many dog owners the companionship of dogs is often
    “literally the only reason to survive,
    to get up, to still keep going.
    It gives them a reason to get up,
    a reason to get out,
    a reason to move around and
    be in contact a little bit with the world outside."

    Canine companions are indicators of human #health, but more canine data is needed
    now that is an interesting idea (and it doesn't happen often that I find anything interesting that involves #dogs).

  6. So, someone posted a reply that suggested that I shouldn't "replace" my companion animals when they pass away. FYI -- I don't breed animals, I adopt animals that need a home. And always spade and neuter them (if they aren't already neutered). I live in a state without kill shelters, so the way I see it, those animals are going to get fed by someone -- it might as well be me. I am childfree by choice, and honestly think the impact caused by my siblings having kids (some of whom are parents now) is far greater than my tiny cat and puppy-sized dog.

  7. When the ship is sinking "Man's best friend" is thrown overboard. Animal cruelty reports are rising across the country in times when the 'forever home' is not attainable for all living beings.

  8. I cannot get enough of Capybaras. Apparently, I am not alone.

    There's something soothing about them. Are they psychic? Is it pheromones? An anti-anxiety gene? Super-oxytocin? Do they purr?

    I hope neurologists are studying this.
    We so need more of this

    I'll help: maybe these tags will help make the connection?

  9. This is my Boxer #dog Dougal, chewing so intently on his big slab of moose antler, he hasn't eaten anything else yet and it's after 12 noon. This is a happy day for me, too, because I just got a request to send my #manuscript for "The Nitty Gritty & Other Complications" from a #publisher I had queried. My fingers are crossed for that collection.

  10. There's this saying that says something about "fighting like cats and dogs". Ha! It hasn't been my experience. #Cats and #dogs can make the best of friends. These are my #CompanionAnimals , a 3/4 Boxer #dog named Dougle and two domestic #cat in grey suits. That orange tube is also a crinkle toy. #catsofmastodon #amwriting #dogsofmastodon #writing @bookstodon

  11. My Boxer mix is a total goofball! He spends about 1/3 of his time on his back, I swear. He's always balancing toys & often trying to play with 2 or 3 at the same time. In this case he has his leg through that yellow ring & he does this several times every day! He truly cracks me up! #dogsofmastodon #dogs #animals #companionanimals #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting
