  • There Nothing Sheepish About This Pet

    Having a large pet inside is nothing new. In terms of dogs Golden Retrievers, St. Bernard’s, Doberman Pinchers, and even Huskies can get rather large if you feed them enough, but what about an inside pet that weighs over 306 pounds!!

  • Hybrid Cats Stirring Up Touble Down Under

    Straight off the island of Dr. Moreau comes the introduction of a new hybrid cat that could be putting Autrailia’s kuala population at risk.

    More and more you hear about families going the exotic route when it comes to the family pet and adopting potbellied pigs. And why wouldn’t they?
