Man's best friend: dogs have more than earned that title. They are loving, loyal, and adorably dumb at times. That's why we always want to give our dog the best.

There are many things in the world that make people happy, and for me it is cats. So I thought, why not try to make every cat as happy as they make me? Now there are so many different kinds of cats, and many have different personalities. Some do not cuddle, like my first cat, and some will follow you around “yelling” at you until you pick them up.
