Maine Coon Not Main Course!
From Miss Sassy’s perspective: How it all started was. My hooman is a KAREN! What can I say family is a life sentence. But it’s like that with family, so you forgive them, even if they are the human equivalent of hyenas. I didn’t know until the Haitian neighbors moved in next door. They feed me sometimes. Oh, the delicious delicacies that they fed me like Griot, if you ask me, just glorified pork chop nuggets but I digress.

Meow and Forever Ernie...
This is one of the hardest goodbyes I’ve had to write in a long time. Ernie, my orange tabby, the cat who came with a warning label, my ride or die, my insulin buddy is gone.And the world feels quieter, heavier, and strangely off balance without him here. I recall that before we bought him, on his cage was a warning label…

The Himalayan cat, affectionately known as the "Himmie," is like the best of both worlds—part Persian, part Siamese, and all fluff!

Sit Stay Hump? Don't Pet the Dog!
Did I ever tell y’all the one about my Cousins’s dog that had a special talent. And that was humping your leg on command.
Ah, childhood memories. Some people recall fishing trips, family barbecues, or warm cookies from Grandma. Me? I remember being restrained while my cousins’ dog—on command, mind you—practiced doing the humpity-hump on my leg. For some reason, my cousins thought that this was hilarious. To this day, I fail to see the humor…

Dam It: A Parody of Beavers, Bold Protests and Town Politics
Dear Members of the Town Council,
…It has come to my attention that there has been some muttering and clucking about what to do with the unauthorized dam these clever critters have been constructing on my spring pond. Unauthorized?! Since when did beavers start needing building permits? These noble architects don’t answer to your red tape or bylaws. They answer to nature itself—a code far more ancient, precise, and efficient than anything passed in a council meeting.

Paw and Order: Safeguarding People and Pets from Abuse
Abuse is never just about physical harm; it’s about control, manipulation, and fear. For many victims of domestic abuse, leaving an abusive situation can feel impossible when their beloved pet is being used as a pawn. Abusers often threaten or harm pets as a way to manipulate and control their victims, creating a heartbreaking dilemma for those who refuse to leave their furry family members behind.
But Pennsylvania is stepping up to address this issue with a groundbreaking expansion of its Protection From Abuse (PFA) laws to include pets.

On Borrowed Time: Shelter Life...
The time has come the Walrus said, to speak of many things...From Alice in Wonderland
Here, loyalty and sacrifice rub shoulders with the hard truths of life. For some of the animals, it’s a pause—a second chance to find the warmth of a home and the kindness of a lap. For others, it’s the final chapter, one written with as much dignity and care as the people here can muster. And for those who walk these halls every day, cleaning cages, soothing fears, and whispering encouragement, it’s a daily lesson in the beauty of doing what you can with what you have.
