I'm heartbroken to have to be making this post but my cat Tigger has passed away last night. She is no longer with us but isn't suffering anymore. She is in a better place and at peace. My heart is broken 💔😭 She was the best & only cat I ever had. I thought I was a dog person but she made me realize how much of a cat person I really am. She was a stray who came into my life in the year of 2021 and left a paw print on my heart for life. She will be missed and never forgotten. I love you Tigger. Rest in Peace my baby girl 😿💜❤️

Though I wish there were dog earplugs 🎧 so more dogs could enjoy watching fireworks without having to hear them, it's good to see a dog who likes them. 🥹❤️✨️

Friends needed

Hi there, lonely wanderer here… 🐾 looking for a place to call home, or at least a friend to chill with under the stars. If you’re into gaming, anime, or just need someone to share quiet moments with, maybe we could be each other's crew?

I'm a little shy, but I’d love a buddy who doesn’t mind the quiet types. I’ve got a pack—a couple of cats 🐱, a dog 🐶, and even a few tiny shrimp buddies 🦐 (don’t worry, they stay in their own world!). I work a lot, but I always have time to unwind with a good game or an anime binge. Maybe we can explore new worlds together, from behind our screens or otherwise?

If you’re looking for a quiet friend who’ll stand by you, who likes cozy vibes and casual chats… maybe I'm the one you're looking for?

“Embrace Calm: Hugs Always Lower Stress” positive vibes inspirational words design

“Always Hugs Lower Stress” is a gentle reminder of the simple yet profound impact a hug can have on our well-being. Hugs are more than just a physical embrace; they are a powerful tool for emotional support and stress relief. When we hug, our bodies release oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” which helps reduce stress and promote feelings of happiness and calm. Whether it’s a hug from a loved one or a comforting self-hug, this small act of kindness can make a big difference in our mental health. Embrace the power of hugs and let them be your go-to remedy for stress and anxiety.

Puppy Love or Profit? A Closer Look at Responsibility

In the embrace of our furry companions at home, it’s true that we often reminisce about the times when we first got our pets. A gift, adopted from a shelter, and more others. But of course, a vast majority of us can’t lie that we got ours from a breeder. As we revel in the joy our pets bring, it's time to unravel the complexities that often lurk behind the scenes of pet breeding. 

Not all pet breeding is done responsibly. Some breeders prioritize profit over the well-being of the animals and the families they'll join.

According to Sarah Maybruck in 2020 that studies on dog breeding over 15,000 years, reveal that what began as a simple interaction between humans and wolves has led to around 400 dog breeds today. Despite the global love for these breeds, ethical questions arise. Purebred dogs, although attractive to some, pose ethical concerns, particularly when juxtaposed with the thousands of dogs awaiting adoption in shelters.

We may also look at the cases of overbreeding that puts a strain on their well-being. The relentless pursuit of quantity over quality leads to overbreeding, leaving pets vulnerable to genetic issues and social challenges. It's a toll on their health and happiness. They never truly get to experience a loving family as they are kept in isolation.

“There’s no excuse for bringing more puppies into the world. On any given day in the U.S., an estimated 70 million homeless dogs and cats are struggling to survive. Of the millions of animals who enter shelters each year, about half must be euthanized for humane reasons or because no suitable homes exist for them. Every time a dog is bred, homeless dogs lose the opportunity to have a good life.” - PETA

This sad reality amplifies the ethical drive to halt more unnecessary breeding, ensuring that every dog has the chance to find a loving home.

A Bark for Change

Confronting the ethical concerns of pet breeding requires collective effort to foster awareness and responsible practices. It’s crucial to acknowledge the issue at hand and, more importantly, to strive for tangible change. So… how?

Adopt, don’t shop.

Choosing adoption isn’t just a decision; it’s a powerful statement against unethical practices that plague the breeding industry. Not only are we welcoming a pet with open arms, but we are also embracing the history of what they’ve been through to be there. Shelters, pounds, and organizations alike houses tons of animals yearning for a loving home. By choosing to adopt from them, we are actively contributing to the dismantling cycle of this industry.

Paw for Laws

In a country like the Philippines, we are still progressing in our laws regarding animal safety. Calling for stricter regulations within the breeding industry can be a powerful advocacy. Pushing for laws that protect the welfare of animals, ensuring proper conditions and treatment, is pivotal. By amplifying our voices collectively, we can influence policy changes that protect the interests of our four legged friends. 

Ethical dog breeding is the key to preserve these species we love. It's a process that needs to be carefully and continuously passed on to future generations.

Educate. Raise awareness. The revelations surrounding unethical breeding practices call for a collective awakening, one that reaches far beyond our homes. In each action we take, whether big or small, lies the potential to reshape the future of pet ownership.
