We all love cute animals. And though it would be altruistic to say all animals are cute in their own way and blah blah blah, there are definitely some who bring cute to a whole new level. Recently I adopted Nugget, the Nugster, NuggLife. He. Is. Everything. And he has an Instagram account. And the crazy thing is, pretty much the second his cute little furry booty hit that page, he started getting more attention than me! Which made me think of all the other amazingly cute and adorable dogs of Instagram, and especially those cuter than cute dogs of Instagram you should start following Keep Reading >>>

My Tree Will Never Make It To Christmas…
Every year we go through the same thing: I put up a Christmas tree; my animals do everything in their power to take it down. I'd say it's the circle of life, but the truth is this is more a battle of wills between me and those little furry beasts I call pets. It's like they're possessed. And I don't understand...I mean, it isn't like the tree ever did anything to them. It's not like the tree comes in out of the cold throwing shade or something. It's a tree. And yet, every single year it happens...and the sad truth is I know how this is going to go down: my tree will never make it to Keep Reading >>>
