A study conducted in 2018 by Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, found that women who sleep alongside their dogs tend to experience better sleep quality than those who share a bed with a human partner. Surveying 962 adult women across the United States, the research highlighted that dogs were less likely to interrupt sleep and often provided a greater sense of safety and comfort.

Dogs generally maintain consistent sleep patterns and are less likely to snore or move around unpredictably during the night. Many women also reported feeling more secure with a dog in bed, which may reduce anxiety and contribute to more restful sleep. In comparison, human partners were more frequently cited as sources of disturbance due to movement, noise and inconsistent sleep habits.

The study suggests that for women who value uninterrupted sleep and nighttime reassurance, sharing the bed with a dog may be more beneficial than sleeping next to a human companion.🤎🖤🩶

It's hot and the pups need some cold treats so here are deals you can get for your pups all year long because they deserve fast food goodness too!

Now the big disclaimer: Not all locations participate in these deals, some might charge while others don't, and some offer different variations of what I'm showing.

First off is the most well know - the Starbucks Puppuccino! This is a small cup of whipped cream for your pup, and these are usually free.

If you've never been to Andy's Frozen Custard you need to go not just for you, but your furry family as well! They have amazing custard and give Pup Cones for free for your dog - it's a small sample cone with custard and my dogs go nuts for them!

Dairy Queen has a Pup Cup as well which is soft serve and a milkbone on top. Some locations have offered them free with purchase and some charge $1.49, but either way it's adorable.

Rita's Ice has also advertised Pup Cups with milkbones which look so cute - I've seen them advertised for free but not sure if that's year round or varies by location.

At Sonic they have Wag Cups which are small cups of soft serve that I've seen for free and I've seen for a $1 and are perfect for your pooch.

Dunkin has the 'Cup for Pup' which is a cup of whipped cream... some give it for free and some charge $1 but add stuff like bacon or munchkins to it.

At Chick-fil-A they almost always have a treat for your dog. My local one has given them Milk Bones often, but some make bone shaped biscuits or a small cup of soft serve.

And Culver's also usually has treats on hand, but it can vary by location.

Which places have you taken your pups to and what do you get? Mine go absolutely nuts for Andy's custard!

The most important name in the early history of the Golden Retriever is Dudley Marjoribanks, the first Lord Tweedmouth, who developed the breed in the Scottish Highlands during the reign of Victoria. For the 50 years between 1840 and 1890, Tweedmouth kept scrupulous records of breedings effected to create an ideal gundog for use at his Guisachan estate in the Highlands, Inverness-shire, Scotland.🐾

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.

A family dog has also been named a victim in the weekend shooting at the home of a Minnesota lawmaker.

Owning livestock is beautiful, but it’s also brutal.

People show the good parts. The chicks hatching. The newborns learning to stand. That first wobble. That first feed. And yes, it’s magical. It’s what keeps you going.

But what they don’t show is the grief.
The way you walk into the barn and something’s wrong.
The panic. The helplessness. The silence that follows.

We don’t just own animals, we love them.
Even when we have dozens, we know each one. Their quirks. Their sounds. Their routines.
We bottle feed them. We cheer for their first steps. We hope for them.

And when we lose one, it wrecks us.
No, it doesn’t get easier.
Not when you loved them like that.

You still cry in the stall.
You still carry the guilt.
You still bury them with your own two hands and whisper “I’m sorry” even if you did everything you could.

This life is raw.
It’s real.
It’s soul work.
And it hurts, because love always does.

POLICY CHANGE OKC ANIMAL WELFARE:

Oklahoma City Animal Welfare is now asking residents to shelter lost animals themselves. Due to overpopulation at the shelter, they will only accept sick, injured, or dangerous animals.

Superintendent Ronnie Schlabs says the shelter is at 117% capacity for dogs. He says the policy will be reevaluated once they can manage the current situation.

IF YOU FIND A LOST ANIMAL:
-Take a clear photo and submit a found pet report at okc.gov/animalwelfare.
-Post signs in the area where the pet was found.
-Share the pet’s information on neighborhood apps and social media.

Animal activists are concerned this won't solve the overpopulation issue LONG TERM. They are also concerned that this could be dangerous for animals and people.
