Cozy! 6) Don’t forget snuggle time! 7) The best cuddles are your cuddles, whether it’s in bed… 8) Or outside taking in the beautiful scenery. 9) And when your partner gets mad, you know the best thing to do is to stand by them until they simmer down. Got your back, boo. 10) The best person to be with is someone you can be crazy, silly, and downright dumb with, and they’ll just join in! 11) Some couples might not be conventional, but they’re all the better for it! 12) And the time will come for both of you to tie the knot, and your partner will cry as they say “woof”. 13) The big day will come, and vows and wedding collars exchanged. 14) You’ll grow old together and wear your matching collars every day.

State Supreme Court Finds Dogs Are “Sentient Beings,” Not Mere Property

Dogs, and other pets, have always been considered mere property by the law. This means that they are legally considered to be on the same level as furniture, which cannot be searched without permission from their owners or a warrant. However, all this changed last week, when the Oregon Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that instigated dogs as “sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, stress and fear”. While we may already be well aware of a dog’s sentience, this court ruling is a significant step forward in the fight against animal abuse. The ruling places pups between mere objects and human, stating that they can be bought, sold, and killed for food, but also decreeing that they should be protected from abuse and neglect. This turn was taken due to events that began in 2010 with the case of a dog named Juno. Portland resident, Amanda Newcomb, was allegedly leaving Juno in a kennel for hours on end as well as beating and starving him. The reports of Juno’s mistreatment led to an animal cruelty investigator with the Oregon Humane Society arriving on scene to look into the allegations. Juno was found with “no fat on his body” according Oregon Live, and had been “eating at random things in the yard, and trying to vomit”. Juno was taken to a veterinarian at the Oregon Humane Society, who found him severely emaciated. On a body condition score, Juno was graded with a 1.5 out of 9. The vet then drew Juno’s blood to test for parasites or other health conditions that may have caused his lack of health. None were found, and Newcomb was charged with second-degree animal neglect. During her trial, Newcomb argued that Juno was property and therefore the blood drawn from the pup was illegally done without a warrant. However, the prosecutor compared the vet’s investigation to what they would have done for a child. After crossing a few hurdles, the Oregon court now has a law that pets are more than property and must be given basic care. Amazing progress!

Pregnant Woman Poses For A Maternity Shoot. But What’s Hanging Off Her Neck? OMG

The loss of a loved one is painful for those left behind. Officer Allen Jacobs, a Greenville, South Caroline police officer, was killed on the job in March 2016, leaving behind his wife Meghan and their unborn first child, Lennox. Their baby is due in July. On Father’s Day, Meghan decided to honor her fallen hero husband in a five-hour maternity photo shoot. The emotional pictures were shot by an Jessie Ellex, an old friend. Taking part in the photoshoot were a group of Greenville police officers who helped to honor their comrade. Meghan also took a photo where she holds her phone, displaying a picture of her husband, to her stomach. The picture was originally taken during their engagement photoshoot, but edited so that her stomach now had the baby bump. Another bittersweet picture has Meghan standing with the folded American flag she received at her husband’s funeral. Around her baby bump, tied to a blue ribbon, rests Allen’s badge. According to Ellex, there are plans to recreate the photoshoot with baby Lennox once she is born, to show the newborn that she remains protected with her father’s spirit within her. Meanwhile, Meghan has visited her husband’s memorial and attached two photographs of her ultrasound and a touching note: “I miss you so much! Doc checked today. Our Baby girl is great. I love you so much.” Ellex hopes that these photographs will help Meghan to heal, along with others in similar situations. “The world lost a police officer, but we lost our dear friend, husband, father, son and brother,” said Ellex.
