Coming this Fall: P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna
Really helpful books about pet loss are few and far between. While there are plenty of books and websites out there that offer support, ultimately, grief is a solitary journey. No book or website can do it for you.
The concept that grief is a process with a start and end point is ludicrous. You’re never going to be the same after loss. You never “get over it.” There is no closure with death. You cannot erase the memory of a beloved pet, and why would you want to? With most losses, as time...

I came across this adorable sweatshirt design the other day and just had to share it with you. Clothing can be hit or miss on Amazon, and I have not yet ordered this for myself, but with more than 1,000 mostly positive reviews, I think it’s safe to say that this is a good quality shirt.

Guest post by Casey Hersch
Imagine a place where you are surrounded by hundreds of cats of different colors, breeds, personalities, and ages. A place where they are free to roam in their natural habitat while receiving medical care, food, and an abundance of love.

Review: Self-Warming Hooded Cat Bed
This post contains affiliate links*
I posted the photo above of Allegra on our Facebook page last week, and a lot of people asked about the bed, so I thought I’d feature it today. Made by K&H Pet Products, the leader in heated pet beds, this bed is filled with a self-warming material that reflects the cat’s body heat back to her. No plug needed!
