The Quiet Comfort. AI-Generated.
Every evening, Sarah would sit on the edge of her couch, laptop balanced on her knees, staring at the blinking cursor that refused to move. Words, once easy, now felt heavy, like they were trapped somewhere between her thoughts and her fingers. She let out a long sigh, rubbing her temples. The silence of the apartment pressed in around her, broken only by the faint hum of the refrigerator.

Your Dog Is Not Truck Cargo
In much of the country, dogs standing loose in the back of a pickup have been treated as part of the scenery for decades. People point at it, smile, say the dog “loves it” and keep driving. The scene looks normal because the community has rehearsed it for years. From a forensic and trauma standpoint, it is anything but normal. It is a low-speed, high-frequency mechanism of serious injury and death that we keep pretending is harmless.

Maanu the Cat and the City That Turned Into a Jungle
Maanu the Cat and the City of Humans BY: Ubaid My name is Maanu the Cat, and for the past few days, I have left the jungle behind to explore life in the city. You may ask, why? Because I never liked jungle life much. But oh dear! Right now, my stomach is growling so loudly that it feels like a whole army of rats has died in there.

Welcome home, Buddy!
Nota Bene: At no time in this blog am I implying that his breeder did anything wrong with Val/Valen/Buddy. He was not abused in any way, shape, or form. Looking at his history, he was a happy, loved, and well-cared-for dog who was simply removed from his safe environment when he was an adult. That can be VERY scary for any dog. Something spooked him when the inciting incident occurred. What it was, we will never know--dogs don't perceive things the same way that people do. I am only sharing his story because I'm so very proud of how he has progressed. The breeder is to be commended for a program that produced such a resilient dog.
