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…

Even if you don't have a doggy of your own, you likely see dogs every day. When I'm walking to work and see an incredibly excitable puppy lunging toward me, I often feel conflicted about how to proceed. While, on the one hand, I'd love to pet the dog and give it all of the affirmations it deserves, I know most dog walkers usually don't want to get stopped by randos. It's a brutal world out there for us dog lovers without pets of our own. One of my favorite dog-related activities is looking at p…

When I was younger, I wondered if possums were Irish immigrants, dropping the "O" in opossum to Americanize their names. Unfortunately, that astute theory was untrue, as opossums originate in North America. Drat! Possums are not considered great pets; you don't need an animal scientist to figure it out. The best way to determine if an animal is suited to be a pet is to watch how your mom reacts to seeing one while driving in the car. Dog? Oh yeah, for sure, a pet. Horse? You better believe that…

Cats are one of the most remarkable animals ever invented. I didn't grow up with a cat myself, but I was a massive fan of the most famous cat in the world, Garfield . Garfield is a cat with no job, and yet he hates Mondays. He loves lasagna, sleeping, and being a menace to everyone he meets. As I grow older, I'm becoming much more of a Garfield than I used to be. When I was a baby, I was Odie: a creature who couldn't speak but is just happy to be alive. When I was a kid, I was Nermal: young and…

Raccoons have gotten a bad reputation over the years. Their diet of trash and resistance toward domestication makes them hard to love for many people. However, not everyone is a hater. Some of us developed our love for raccoons through their brief yet impactful appearances in the movies. Pocahontas's bestie Meeko was stellar representation of a sweet and loyal raccoon. In the cult-classic documentary Grey Gardens, Little Edie feeds the raccoon living in her attic two bags of Wonder Bread, refus…

Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO. And on that farm, he had some memes EIEIO. Well, we've got plenty more memes where that came from. Old McDonald may have had an oink-oink here and an oink-oink there, but he did not have an extensive list of side-splitting animal memes. Sure, Old McDonald might've posted some memes (that he printed out) onto the side of the barn, but the only ones who saw them were the cows, the chickens, and the common house cat. Here, we've got memes for all animal fans. Are yo…

In the words of Limp Bizkt's Fred Durst, “It's just one of those days.” It's one of those days where you don't want to wake up, everything is f*****, and really, everybody sucks. It's simply one of those days, when (despite not really knowing why) you want to justify ripping someone's head off. Okay, okay. Maybe we've been listening to too much nu-metal while operating within a thick and ugly funk. But seriously. We're not sure why, but everything simply feels… bad. Maybe it's because winter ha…
