Doggy shopping is real. Or at least, heading to the store with your dog in tow is. And we need to know if Home Depot lets us bring our dogs with us. Here’s the thing, we all know that sometimes the rules aren’t easy to find. They don’t post all of their store policies in plain sight for all to see. But that’s okay. We dug deep for this one.…

All in the family: The modern ‘multispecies’ household meshes pet/people dynamics After generations of evolving from large agrarian families to nuclear families and then morphing into single-parent families and no-parent families (married or unmarried), behold the modern “multispecies” family.
