My Dear Pets

By Nate Feldman   Kipper and I love coming to Timber Creek Dog Park in Blackwood, NJ.  The park is a huge off-leash area with sand and dirt paths that go through a wooded area.  It is gated on all sides, so you don't need to worry about your dog running off.  During the summer months, it is heavily shaded by the leaves, so you can bring your dog throughout the day.  Many people come, so your dog is certain to make friends while there.  I will also mention there is a strip mall right around the corner with a nice local bagel shop.  It is altogether a great experience.

 By Nate Feldman   This is a photo of Jenna resting on my bed sometime in the late fall of 2016.  It's been almost 10 years since then.  Jenna passed away in early 2023, but it's still nice to look back at her time here.  She enjoyed finding places like that and getting comfortable.  I am not sure how many homes Jenna had before she came to us, and to be honest the 6 years an 4 months she lived at 249 Bair Road in Berwyn, PA doesn't feel like it was long enough.  But, I hope it brought her happiness.  In this picture, she looks like she was very content.

 By Nate Feldman     Here are two photos of Kipper and Brownie, spending time with me in my attic.  We all like to bond there.  I often go to the attic to do some artwork, prepare for my lessons (I work as an ESL teacher for adult students) and just hang out.   I have read and seen videos that a great sign your pets like you is if they follow you everywhere, and Kipper and Brownie definitely like to do that, so that made me feel good, not just because it means they like my presence, but it also means they are enjoying their life in my home, something of great importance to me.   Do your pets like to bond with you?  Do you have a special room you all like to hangout in?  What are signs your pets show you that they are happy in your home?
