Do you like puns? If so, congratulations, you're in the right place. When left to my own devices, I am not a woman of the punny experience. My brain just doesn't really work that way. The puns I come up with on my own are borderline nonsensical. I usually have to explain them, which gets a lukewarm chuckle at best. Although not my wheelhouse, animals are a great subject for puns. You might say animal puns are hiss-tarical or a-moose-ing. See how punny that was! Since I have no skill for this ar…

To eat meat or to not eat meat; that is the question. As Thanksgiving comes and goes this weekend, it's natural that dietary needs and restrictions come up as topics for debate. Some animal fans think being a vegetarian or a vegan is a requirement for being an animal lover . Others believe that since animals kill and eat each other, and because human beings are animals themselves, eating meat is a non-issue. I think we can all agree that the way the meat industry treats and kills animals is not…

Horse girls are the glue that keeps this country together . Their passion for these majestic animals gives me the strength to go out and follow my own passions. Society might criticize and deride (haha) horse girls for their earnestness, but the horse girl community will never fall. Their power grows, like the baby foal into mighty steed they so gracefully ride upon. My favorite horse girl of all time is Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet . This is a girl who knows what she wants, and she's go…

Bark Bark. Meow Meow. These are the classic sounds of the dog and the cat we all know and love. They are the most common pets for a reason, and that reason is that they are so rad. A dog will bark when they hear you coming out of the bathroom. A cat can stretch out to over three feet. These are iconic animals that I can't help but love with all of my heart. I understand why certain people do not want dogs or cats as pets. They is much more responsibility required for a feline or a canine than a…

The crazy thing about animals when you break it down is that they are truly just freaky little guys. It’s wild that we walk the earth with them but at the same time it just makes sense. some animals like spiders and aquatic life are the creepiest closest things we’ve got to aliens on earth

If I'm being honest, Russell from Up (2009) deserved far more than just a wilderness explorer badge for his adventures with Carl. That child was a friend to the elderly and the animal kingdom more than most of us could dream of being. He had the explorer's spirit, and he did something about it. He befriended birds and dogs alike and stood up to a freaky old guy in defense of his nice old guy friend. Most of us will probably never reach such an advanced state of wilderness exploring. Sure, we ma…

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret; as a child, I was a frog girl . I'm not talking about your average run-of-the-mill frog girls that seem to be sprouting on top of lily pads constantly these days. I'm talking about a ride-or-die girlie of the ribbit experience. The only Webkinz I got were frog Webkinz. I had at least two baseball caps featuring the amphibian. The Rainforest Café mascot was my idol. I'm not messing around when it comes to frogs. It can be bittersweet when one of yo…

Wait for it...
