Microchipping Can Save Your Pet’s Life 💻

My daily walks take me through a maze of different neighborhoods, including mansions, low-income and middle income homes. But I noticed some strange things in my neighborhood: An uptick in posters of missing pets.

It’s strange because I rarely see these posters. I noticed a poster for an orange cat named Paws, missing for a few weeks. Paws’ poster is stapled to many telephone poles around town

July is Lost Pet Prevention Month 🔍

July is in full swing. Pets and pet parents are spending more time outside. This month is about pet safety: pet safety tips for July 4th, and keeping a pet first aid kit for home and travel. July is also Lost Pet Prevention Month.

You’re a good pet parent and try to keep your pet safe and away from danger. But sometimes a cat jumps the fence. Sometimes a dog escapes through an open door.

A lost pet can be a pet parent’s worst nightmare.

Seven Years Later: My Passion For Animals and My PhD 👩🏾‍🎓

UPDATE: Spring time is a time for cleaning up and clearing out. This fun project reminded me that I had a plethora of documents (research papers, case studies, handouts) related to my dissertation. Yep, seven years last month, I finished my PhD. Time to throw out old documents and dated research papers.

And I’m also reminded that my rescue kitty, Oscar was there to help me through the dissertation process. As another “Thank You” to him and all my furry friends, I’m reposting my blog about my passion for animals and my PhD. Enjoy!

Cat and Dog Peeves About Humans 🐈 🐕

We know that our pets love us – they show us all the time with a wagging tail, a loving purr, or a paw on the knee when we’re feeling sad. But sometimes our pets reach their limit: They just get tired of us humans.

Cats and dogs have their own personal boundaries. When we step across the line, they let us know.
