Pets

Cat lovers know that they leave drawers open at their own risk. These openings are cat magnets. Cats will immediately show up to snoop, dig, and/or nest. Oh, and shed. All over your clean clothes.

Cats have the amazing ability to nap just about anywhere. This photo is proof of that.

Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day and this sweet kitty is here to celebrate. You will notice from this photo that black cats are not completely black, but also have dark brown fur. That's why my family's black cat was named Mahogany.

Cones of Shame, Pet Lampshades and Elizabethan Ruffs may look a little (OK, a lot) awkward but give these pets and their owners credit for making the best of an eye-conic situation.

It isn't often that we get to see a draft horse like a Clydesdale enjoying the beach at full gallop. She's literally flying over the water.

This is the very face of love with those soulful brown eyes, perky ears, and that hint of "got food?" in her countenance.

I've written a number of articles over the years pertaining to presidential dogs. Whether it be the Obama's Portuguese Water Dogs Bo and Sunny, George W. Bush's Springer spaniel Spot  or Richard Nixon's cocker spaniel Rex.
