Becoming the proud owner of a dog can be an incredible experience. It can also be one of the most frustrating. The day you take in a puppy is great. You get to name the dog, play with it, and it still has that new puppy appeal. Give it maybe five days and you'll understand why people train dogs as a profession. It's not easy. Proper potty training is a disgusting process, your puppy will refuse to leave you alone, and the sheer amount of energy that a puppy has is astonishingly high. The thing…

I've known several horse girls throughout my life, and I've always been fascinated by their passion for the sport. I'm from Texas, so obviously, horses are kind of a big deal there. It never ceased to amaze me how much horses cost to own and maintain. When you get a dog, you have to pay for the dog and all of its supplies and medical expenses, but at least you can let your dog live in your house. With horses, you've got to find a place where they can live, and unless you live on an actual farm,…

Never again.

Greetings, web denizens. We come in peace with an offering of top-quality memes ! We can't say the same about the aliens. There's a lot to process with this recent news of human contact with extraterrestrials. The concept of aliens reaching our planet is both fear-inducing and exciting. If these aliens are anything like the human race it could mean bad news for our species. Considering they have the advanced technology to reach our planet, they definitely have a leg up on us. It's not exactly c…

The worst thing about animals is that they can't talk . I know there have been a couple of scientifically studied gorillas and dogs on TikTok who can say words, but that's not the same thing as talking. Humans are the only species that can speak in a grammatically coherent way, and that's a darn shame. I've had several dogs I wish I could talk to because they probably have crazy life stories. My first dog, Toby, had an extremely traumatic life before we got him. When the dog rescue found him, h…

If you're here, you're most likely looking for a little something to boost your Friday morning . Maybe the coffee just isn't cutting it or, at least, not hitting that part of your brain that needs something more than caffeine to be properly stimulated. Perhaps a little bit of laughter is what you need. Well, lucky for you, we're here to help. The Internet: an incredibly advanced global network of interconnected computers. We have infinite knowledge at the tip of our fingers and we can immediate…

He doesn't really fly - he hops and plays fetch

Dogs are man's best friend? Not quite, dogs are everybody's best friend. If you're not one of those weird cat people, you can probably admit you have an affinity for dogs ; however slight it may be. Maybe you don't want to have your own dog, but you'd at least pet a dog if it was in your general vicinity. In my own experience, I know it can be annoying when people ask to pet your pooch. It can break up the flow and energy of an otherwise peaceful walk. As someone with a higher-energy dog, it wa…

"Serious goose" doesn't have the same ring to it

It's that time of year again, folks. The snow has finally melted, the sun is shining, and the migratory birds are back in town. I can finally enjoy the rare pleasure of birdwatching and lounging in my backyard, while ignoring the surrounding evidence of my neighbor's epic parties. Even with the cans and bottles that dapple our patio tables, my slice of urban paradise is primo ground for enjoying the birds that have been flitting around the neighborhood. Just sitting on my steps for a few minute…

Efficiency is of great importance in our modern world. If you want to be successful, you've got to be quick, but also effective. Memes may be antithetical to productivity, but you've got to admit that memes do have a purpose . You glance at a meme, get a little laugh, and then move on. They're in and out in the blink of an eye. They require a total commitment of maybe 10 seconds maximum to achieve their desired effect. But they're like potato chips, you just keep consuming them without realizin…

That's better

Declawing a cat is, in itself, an extremely cruel act. Claws are integral to a cat's life. Besides that, the process of declawing literally amputates part of the cat's paw. It's undoubtedly animal cruelty. The proper treatment of our feline friends is incredibly important to internet users, which brings us to the story. On Reddit's /r/amitheasshole subreddit , /u/Weickzj explains that he adopted a cat from his sister. According to him, the cat had stopped using the litter box after being declaw…

It's that time of the week again, Labrador lovers and Corgi Connoisseurs! That's right! Thursday means two things: it's nearly the weekend and we're back with another delightfully silly package of puppy memes . Living with a dog has been one of the brighter parts of my life. Coming home to an excited dog is an unmatched feeling. Maybe you're struggling with a project at work and butting heads with your coworkers. All of that negative energy can wash away, at least momentarily, by the embrace of…
