I remember trying to enter my local scrubland once, just across the car park behind the last apartment building and there, awaiting me, was a territorial pack of stray dogs barking at an intruder – me. I don’t really know – from my own experience with school bullies or from Jack London’s novels? How did I know that?

The Front Range of Colorado offers unique birding experiences from top to bottom. Often busy with cyclists, runners, dog-walkers and boaters to name a few.

Barbaro's killing is a case of euthanasia. Euthanasia is often called mercy killing, for obvious reasons: Its motive is mercy.

There’s always a chance that we could ingest something bad for us, something that might even kill us – a peril we face anytime we swallow anything, in fact.

Fostering is a wonderful experience. If you work full time and already have a dog, you can always request a dog-friendly foster pet who is house-trained. That could involve teaching a dog to stay off the couch or walk better on leash, or teaching a cat to welcome other pets or to play, or simply to teach trust and love.
