CBD Treats for Hyperactive Dogs: Promoting Calm and Focus. AI-Generated.
I have a confession. My Golden Retriever, Max, used to drive me absolutely nuts. I'm talking about the dog who would sprint laps around my living room at midnight, crash into furniture, bark at his own reflection, and somehow still have energy after a two-hour hike. My vet kept saying, "He's just a high-energy dog—he needs more exercise!" But here's the thing: I was already exercising him to death. There had to be something else going on.

In Memory: Aspen's Great Expectations of LoupGarou
This story has been an entire year in the making. Pip passed away precisely one year ago today, December 17, 2024. I've tried writing it several times, but I've never been able to get past the first paragraph. Losing Pip has been an experience wrapped up in loss, in guilt, in the pain of promises unable to be kept. Every time I post about him, I cry over the knowledge that I will never have another picture of Pip, that the loving little dog that I knew so well had his life end tragically, so needlessly, that I have a hard time celebrating the lives of the puppies that he left behind. He had so much potential, so much promise. I had told myself that the spring of 2025 would be the time for working on agility, on weight pull, on all of the fun things that he loved to do. For Pip, spring of 2025 never arrived.

For No Reason
I wrote this as a teenager and forgot it existed until I found it again in old files. I’m putting it here because the core point is still true, and still denied. It’s told in the voice of a dog, but it’s not a breed or pet-specific statement. It’s a sequence statement. Same logic applies to any animal living under chronic neglect or abuse.

The passing of pets
We've all heard that expression, "you don't need to be blood to be family," but does that also apply to pets in September? I lost the dog that I had had for about 15 years. I'm not much of a dog person. I'm more of a cat person. My dog Rosie was a corgi mix, and to be 100% honest, in the beginning, I really did welcome the dog. Sadly, I thought my dog was kind of ugly, and I rejected her, but the dog did something I couldn't believe she did. She saved my life. I won't get into detail, but let's say I was actually gonna hurt myself, and my dog saved me. She even got the cat to help. Stop me from hurting myself. That is why I love my animal so much, so when they passed away, it was a heartbreaking day that still is to this day. Nothing can fill that void. Yes, I currently have two other cats. They're amazing animals, but not as amazing as the two that recently passed. Amber was born a stray. She was a runt, but she was a fighter, even as we all know runts usually don't survive because the mother refuses to feed them. The original owner that, at a young age, Amber began eating dry food to survive. She was a fighter.
