Who are we?
Well, we’re a group of people who all have one thing in common – we love pets. Not just OUR pets, but all pets. Really, all animals.
We’re the kind of people who have:
- fed that stray cat
- taken care of your dog while you’re on vacation
- adopted a shelter pet (or two, or three)
- rescued a horse because it needed rescuing
- filed our dog’s nails
- dressed our cat in a hat to honor Dr. Seuss
- given the gift of a pet – at least once
- taken our pets on vacation with us
- raised baby bunnies after they lost their mother
- read Black Beauty, Charlotte’s Web, Travels With Charley, The Yearling, Old Yeller …
- been comforted by the love of a pet
- suffered the loss of a dear pet
While we have several regular authors, we also feature lots of guest bloggers who contribute their pet-related anecdotes and articles to share with our readers.

A word from the creator of PetsBlogs.com . . .
I love animals (always have). I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. So did most of the relatives we’d visit when I was growing up. I was always drawn to the animals . . . grandpa’s dogs and ponies, grandma’s cats, an uncle’s rabbits, a neighbor’s horse, another neighbor’s bird . . . Nearly every picture of me as a kid features me holding or standing near an animal. The remarkable thing is that now, as an adult, I can still recall the names of those pets, though I have a hard time recalling the names of their owners. So what does that say about me? I’m a pet person and always have been.
As a little girl I just assumed I’d be a vet when I grew up. Then one day, during a 6th grade field trip to a local vet school, I discovered that I didn’t have the cookies for it. In fact, I tossed them up while watching a German Shepherd getting his teeth cleaned. I realized, standing next to the Coke machine sipping on the soda the teacher bought me to sooth my riled belly, that becoming a vet probably wasn’t in the cards for me. I remember it was a German Shepherd on the table. I don’t remember my teacher’s name.
While I didn’t become a vet (or a zoo curator, or any of the other animal-related professionals that seemed really, really cool as a kid) I have had a lifetime surrounded by pets and they continue to be a huge part of my life.
