Running low on ideas for your next story? If so, try observing your dogs for a while. They might be able to ignite your creativity and give you new ideas for a novel or short story. After all, it is not new for writers to be inspired by the pets they had (or wished they had). In fact, the screenplay for the 2008 film Marley & Me was based on an autobiography written by journalist John Grogan about the 13 years he and his family spent with a yellow Labrador Retriever named Marley. On the other hand, the well-known children’s book series Clifford the Big Red Dog was made because of its author Norman Bridwell’s childhood desire for a dog the size of a horse.

Your writing brain has turned into a lump of frozen hamburger meat. The only way to thaw out your creativity is to write, and if you don't know what to write, here is a list of writing prompts . A gentle nudge towards getting words on the page.

10 Writing Prompts—Written by Cats and a Dog

Writing prompts are always helpful.

My cats thought writing prompts about cats would be a good idea. The cats, Charlie, Nepeta, JR and Harper helped me write Ten Cat Writing Prompts.

Ten Cat Writing Prompts

Harper the kitten helps with the illustration.

1. The cat scratched at the door. 2. There was no money to buy cat food. 3. The cat walked out the door when the wind blew the door open. 4. The cat thought she was a dog. 5. The cat met the Queen of England. 6. The dog admitted cats are better than dogs. 7. A dirty litter box. 8. The cat saved the baby's life. 9.The cat was an author and taught kittens how to read. 10. The cat jumped onto a speeding car.

My dog Martha just noticed the list of Cat Writing Prompts and wanted a list for dogs as well. Martha, the dog, helped me write these prompts.

Ten Dog Writing Prompts

Martha wants to be a private detective.

1. The dog walked around the world. 2. The dog saved the baby from the speeding car. 3. The dog was served steak every day on a silk pillow. 4. The cat admitted dogs are better than cats. 5. The dog had a pedicure once a week at the beauty parlor. 6. The dog learned how to drive a car. 7. The dog spoke Japanese and worked for a Japanese bank. 8. The dog was a secret agent. 9. The dog was The Queen of England for a day. 10. The dog helped Santa deliver toys on Christmas Eve.

Martha wanted me to add one more prompt. The dog was allowed to sleep on the bed. But I told her not to get any ideas. She still has to sleep on the floor beside the bed.

What do you do when your brain is like a lump of frozen hamburger meat? What do you do when you don't have any story ideas? Do you get ideas from your cat or dog? Let us know in the comments section .

Please choose one of the writing prompts and write for fifteen minutes . Once I clean my seven litter boxes I will be read the story you wrote to my four cats, Charlie, Nepeta, JR, and Harper the kitten, but we call her Baby, and the two dogs Annie and Martha.

When you are finished, please post your practice in the comments section . I look forward to reading your stories.

No comments? What about the aliens that captured all the cats and dogs? Now all we have is our pet monkeys, gerbils, mice, snakes, spiders, birds and fish. I like a pet monkey, he could probably do more than my dog could do anyways.

Thankfully the aliens did not capture my cats and dogs. Did they get your dog a Guy Who Types? Perhaps a pet monkey could help you with Writers Block? I wish the aliens had taken the spiders and snakes. Perhaps they will come back and we can give them to the aliens. xo Pamela

St. Patrick really was a Saint Bernard, and he filled the Anglia up with all the snakes there were, He got carefully in the front seat, started the engine, engaged the gear, slipped the clutch out and drove all the snakes clear out of Ireland.

Hello Bob Ranck, Did he take the snakes to The United States? I don’t like snakes, but I like cats. xo Love Martha

Hello A Guy Who Types, Would you please tell me what the aliens look like? I won’t let them in the house. Thank you for the warning. All my best, xo Love Martha

Awww…this is too cute…awww…I have never used writing prompts, but these might change my mind 😀 #Writing

Hello Krithaka, If you use one of Martha’s prompts, she is going to reply to you. Have you ever had your stories read by a dog? xo Pamela

All of the above posts are fantastic and amusing, created by the clever prompts of cats and Martha.

My dear Krithika, I have never been called cute. I assume you were referring to me? I hope you had a nice day. xo Love Martha

cat prompt #10, and dog prompt # 8… Next story. Ninja cat steals Air Dog One and flies it to Kitty Central. Secret agent Dog has to find, and capture Ninja cat plus, bring home Air Dog One. If secret agent Dog fails, Cats would take over and run the country instead of dogs. Cats would live in fancy houses and dogs would be forced into those tiny doghouses outside in the cold.

Hello my dear Susan Barker, As a secret agent dog, I can assure you I will not fail on my mission. However, it is your story, and you get to decide the ending. If the cats do take over the country, will you please put in a good word with the Cat leader, and allow dogs to live inside. Your choice of prompts is very exciting and dramatic. All my best. xo Love Martha

Martha’s #6 prompt;

I often took my Dog Matilda, whom we call Mattie, with me in the car.

She loved to jump into the back seat of my little 2 door sedan and as large as she is, she’d find a way of getting comfortable back there. Besides, she didn’t like to stay home alone. She never really told me that but the look in her eyes as I rubbed her head and chin on my way out the door conveyed the message.

On this particular day, I thought I would bring her with me as I was going to run some errands that didn’t require me to leave her in the car for an extended time. I opened the driver’s door and before I could pop the seat forward to allow her space to get in, she jumped onto the drivers’s seat and wouldn’t budge.

“Mattie.” I laughed at the sight of her sitting on her rear end with one paw resting on the bottom of the steering wheel, “get out”.

She turned her face to me and then quickly turned back staring out the front window.

“Are you nuts?” I spoke louder than intended but still thinking that this behavior was unusual as well as quite funny.

I pulled on her collar trying to encourage her to get out of my seat. I pushed on her butt trying to lift her between the front seats into the back. Matilda is a 75 pound Labrador and Hound Dog. She is about 5 or 6 years old. My husband and I got her from a woman who rescues dogs of all breeds. The minute we saw her, three years ago, we fell in love. Other than her barking at the mailman or any other man or woman who tries to deliver a package to our door, she is a gentle, well behaved, loving pooch.

After several attempts to either get her to move to the back or get out, I finally decided to call her bluff, and shut the door.

“Bye”, I called to her through the closed window.

Hello dgk, Thank you for choosing one of my prompts. I am so curious to know if Matilda drove away after you said, “Bye.” I loved how she turned her face to you when you told her to get out, and then she looked out the front window again. A fun story. xo Love Martha

Martha’s Number One prompt, which is rather appropriate:

Sugar opened one brown eye and rolled it toward the alarm clock. It was way past time to get up. If Mom didn’t wake up soon, drastic measures would have to be taken, including licking her face and toes. Today was the day they were going to set off together on a ‘walkabout’, a word Mom was using to describe them going outside and smelling things on all seven continents.

Sugar wasn’t too sure about this adventure, although normally she was up for anything. Around the world seemed like a long way to go just to pee on a few things. And it would be hot. And then cold. And then hot again. What if they couldn’t find something to eat? What if the new places they visited didn’t have can openers? What if the people they saw outside were suspicious looking, but there were too many of them to investigate properly? It’s hard to check the perimeters when there are no perimeters. Sugar took the job of perimeter checking very seriously, even though she hadn’t received a paycheck in like, forever.

In seconds, she was ready to set out. She was tricked out in little saddlebags, filled with chewies, Mr. Squeak, Liver Snaps, and a few cans of dog food. The leash could just stay at home, as far as she was concerned. Mom was taking a lot longer to get ready. Humans had so much more to pack.

Soon enough they were ready to go. Sugar sure hoped Mom could keep up with her. After all, Sugar had four-paw drive, and could bound up hills without even trying. Mom swung her backpack up over her shoulders, and remarked how heavy it was. And what was that clanking sound?

As they set out, Sugar looked longingly back at the ten cans of dog food and the can opener sitting forlornly on the front steps. She sure hoped they’d still be there when they got back.

Oh my Gigi J Wolf, Your Sugar sounds so brave and adventurous. Even though she was a bit hesitant at first, in a matter of seconds she was ready to go.

Humans have such a hard life. Deciding what shoes to wear, and they have to have clean clothes every day. Did you tell Sugar what the clanking sound was in your backpack? Telling the story from the dog’s perspective was very refreshing. I wish you all my best on your adventure. This is a true story, right? xo Love Martha

Dear Martha, As soon as Mom and I get to a place here in the Himalayas that has WiFi, I will Skype you. Mom sometimes lets me use the computer if I promise not to drool on it. She’s given up on the clean clothes thing; it’s not easy finding washing machines in some of these crazy places we’ve been. I miss my own sofa! Yours in adventure, Sugar

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar, I am so excited for you. I would love to Skype with you. And, clean clothes are overrated, it takes at least two weeks before clothes start to smell. If you are ever in Pennsylvania, I will share my rug with you. I don’t go on the sofa. What a fun adventure. p.s. What was the clanking sound in the backpack? xo Love Martha

This story made the dog seem very human, with the same things humans generally want. Which was interesting to me. I loved the last paragraph, it is super funny. I sit forlornly when there is a treat out of my step too.

The dog learned to drive the pickup? Never. The dog knows the best place to be is right in the middle of the pickup truck. Behind the wheel, you have to work, to stay alert, to drive, to yell at the dog when the dog sees a cat and barks. So no, behind the wheel is not the best place to be.

On the passengers side? Not really. Oh yeah it’s nice to stick your head out the window, until you get a bee in the face, and that ain’t fun at all. Besides, the guy sitting on the passengers side is expected to get out at each gate, open it, close it, and then get back in the truck. He also has to shout at the dog when the dog sees that blasted cat again, and barks. Again, all of that is work.

Nope, the best place to be is between the passenger and the driver, looking out the window for that stupid cat.

Hello Gary G Little, Your dog is very smart. A smart dog doesn’t want to open and close the gate. Or drive. Perhaps one day I can ride with the dog too. xo Love Martha

What a wonderful, light-hearted idea! I love it!

Believe it or not, some of those prompts fit perfectly with a series idea that’s been percolating since sometime around 2008 or 2009.

Can you say a dog and cat detective team. Perhaps I should consult with the contributors to this post for technical advice!

Thanks for cheering me up and reminding me of these two lurking characters.

Hello Carrie Lynn Lewis, I am delighted you liked our prompt ideas. Pamela was beside herself trying to think of what to write. So the cats and I helped her.

Your story ideas sounds so fun. Cats and dogs really can be friends. If you need any technical advice my email address is [email protected] .

I am glad our post cheered you up. And hello to your cat and dog detective team.

xo Love Martha

Thank you very much! I appreciate the offer. I may have to resurrect Thomas (cat) and Inky (black lab) and the case of the missing race horse. You’ve given me hope!

A cat and dog detective team sound like fun!

The Dog Was A Secret Agent

Yes, that’s right, a secret agent. We didn’t know this at the start of our relationship, but in those days, we – both the dog and I – took each other pretty much at face value. Yeah, I know, it’s not the way things are ordinarily done around here, but that’s the way we did it.

I was taking down the Christmas decorations from above the fireplace when Big Jimmie came barging into my place. Straight through the kitchen and round the corner, right into the parlor he stomped, with this dog under his arm like he was just bringing in the evening paper. Things didn’t look quite right from the start, because Big Jimmie had the dog wrong-end-around, the head and forepaws dangling from under his arm and the dog’s rump and hindlegs above his wrist. “Bugs!” he shouted. ‘Think quick!” and with that he tossed the dog directly at my head.

Bib Jimmie and I have known and tormented each other for thirty years, and this was nothing new. He did this once to me with a live, five pound river carp when we were teenagers fishing in the drainage canal. That time, I didn’t even try to catch it; I flailed, faltered, and fell backwards into the stinking water. I plotted revenge deliciously for a week, until something else happened.

The next time he did it, we were running from someone – cops, bailbondsman, irate women, I can’t remember now – but we were in the woods, it was late fall and cold as hell. I was bitching about the cold and he snatched up a blazing pine knot out of our small campfire and tossed THAT straight at my face, again muttering, “Think quick!” As improbable as it seemed, I caught the damned thing, but tripped and fell backward – again – over a tree root this time, and rolled with my face in the fiery pine knot. That’s how my left eyebrow got that funny, burned-off-at-the-end scar. Anyway, again I plotted revenge, but at night in the woods in the late fall in the upper part of this state, it generally gets too cold too quick to even think revenge, much less extract it.

But back to this dog. I caught the critter, deftly this time. In thirty years, Big Jimmie gave me a lot of practice. But I got my heel caught in the tinsel and fell on my kiester again, and wound up with the dog sitting on belly, and licking my face – probably trying to clean off the last smear of Goofy Ruby’s apple-tart that I was eating when Jimmie tossed the mutt.

See, that was the first clue that this was no ordinary dog – he wasn’t at all flapped by the toss, the catch, or the landing. He KNEW how to land. Cats got that by instinct, dogs gotta work at it and though a lot of ‘em do pretty good at it, this woofer did it like it was an ordinary thing. It was a result of training that I didn’t fully recognize or appreciate at first.

“Scuze me, pooch,” I said, directly in his face, as I tried to sit up and get disentangled from the tinsel and lights. It just then that I noticed he had on a black bow-tie. What the hell? On a dog, fer cryin’out loud.

“Get it straight, Bugs. His name’s Bond”, Big Jimmie said, looking down and laughing at me on the floor. “At least that’s what he wants to be called. He answers to that.”

Raising myself now on one elbow as the dog deftly stepped from my stomach to the floor, I asked the dog, “Bond, huh?”

The dog responded by nodding his head gently and offering his right forepaw. I took it and shook it, kind of gentleman-to-gentleman, and damned if the little fellow didn’t reply with an affirmative “Woof.”

Well, that settled it, Bond he was. I said, “OK, guy, I’m Bugs. I run this joint here and Goofy Ruby over there does the food thing,” pointing to my wife.

Bond turned in an instant, padded on over to where Ruby was laughing, still holding the other end of the lights and tinsel, and honest, this dog did a little bow, pulling that right forepaw under and ducking his front end and lowering his head way down, his nose almost touching the floor in front of her.

Oh my, Mr. Bob Ranck. You have totally brought Bond to life. And, Big Jimmie and Bugs have so much character all ready. I want to know more. May I meet Bond? Or is he only fictionalized? My, my, my. You made him so real. The only word I was not sure about was “keister.” Is that a form of sausage? Mr. Ranck. Do you always have so much fun writing? I hope to buy your book next year about Bond. It should take about a year, right? xo Love Martha

Thanks, Sandra. Glad you found it fun reading. It was the greatest of FUN writing it , too.

Martha, you are so kind. Bond does exist, at least in part, and in my own household, currently holding office as “Senior Dog”. Big Jimmie really did enter with him that way, upside down and toss him to me January 5, 2006. That exercise has set me on the path to a longer story about Bugs, Big Jimmie and Bond, in their endeavors to succeed in their own jobs, to find security in life, to always remain in the good graces of Goofy Ruby, and, in their own way, to fight crime.

Thank you for your gracious comments.

Martha, sorry I missed this. “KEISTER” is/was a word in fashion over half a century ago meaning duff,, bum, hind-end, back-side, rear, prat, tush. the sitting-down-parts. Probably derived from some german/jewish-New York slang, Don’t know the origin, but it was a common word when Bugs and Big Jimmie were growing up in the Philly area.

This was really fun reading.

2 minute writing sentences.

1. The cat scratched at the door. He left deep marks into the door. His hiss was contorted as the wind howled through leaves behind him. I would not let the cat in here though.

2. There was no money to buy cat food. Fred was angry I guess you could say. But it was more of a displeased look set with the expression of not caring about anything that always seemed to be there.

I patted him on the head when he slowly made his way to the food dish that morning, sorry not today, I have to keep the checking account balanced you see. Yowl… he said lazily and then let out a big yawn and then slowly made his way back to bed.

3. The cat walked out the door when the wind blew the door open. Blue and orange mottled streaks went through its fur. Its eyes like dark orange marbles shined in the midnight light. A strange wind seemed to only grow.

Oh my Sandra D, Your short sentences are full of drama, emotion, and suspense. “His hiss was contorted” “Slowly made his way, “blue and orange mottled streaks went through his fur. “as strange wind seemed to only grow.” A repeat on wind in the last sentence from the second sentence. I would really like to know more about this cat. And this person who wouldn’t buy food for the cat. Should I call the authorities, or is this a fiction story. I am concerned about the cat. Your writing really made me care. All my best, xo Love Martha

no I actually have no pets at all. Just an occasional meandering beetle makes its way across my back steps, and then I just hope that it will be able to forage independently. If I had a caring cuddly creature in my house, i probably wouldn’t have been able to write that sentence. So never fear! heh. But yes I wonder why he won’t buy food for his cat, and why his cat doesn’t care! I do wonder, but I don’t know either. Thanks for caring, these mythical pets do appreciate it.. Sandra

Hello Pam, Your cats’ and dog’s writing prompts are inspiring. I will decide on which title to develope into a story. There are ten to choose from and all of them provoke me. Meanwhile, here’s a poem for you. I hope you like it.

I said to my Minnie “Come over here, “Don’t worry, Minnie You need have no fear, You are the best kitty That I ever saw. Come, Minnie, Minnie, Give me your paw.” To get her to come I gave her some milk. I stroked her black coat It was smooth as soft silk When she had her fill She rolled on the floor, Without looking back She made straight for the door.

A big hug for you, the cats and Martha.

Oh, my dearest Lillian, This is the sweetest poem. Is this a true story? Do you really have the best kitty called Minnie? If you do, will you please post a picture here of Minnie? We have two black cats who live here. And a big hug for you from all of us, Me, Martha, Annie, the other dog, and the four cats, Charlie, Nepeta, JR, and Harper. Oh and Pamela sends you a hug too. xo Love Martha

Creative Writing Prompts for Animal Lovers

by Melissa Donovan | Aug 16, 2018 | Creative Writing Prompts | 16 comments

Creative writing prompts about animals.

Today’s post includes a selection of prompts from 1200 Creative Writing Prompts . Enjoy!

Animals have played a significant role in literature throughout history.

They appear in poems and stories, and plenty of nonfiction works have been written about animals and humans’ experiences with animals.

From E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web to Jane Goodall’s (aff links) books on primatology, authors and readers alike have delighted in writing and reading about animals.

And it’s no wonder. We humans have forged strong bonds with animals. Our pets are like family members. In fact, Americans spend billions a year on their animal companions. Billions more are donated to wildlife preservation, animal welfare advocacy, and conservation efforts.

Naturally, animals fit comfortably into the stories we tell. Today’s creative writing prompts pay homage to our animal friends by inspiring a writing session that features animals.

Creative Writing Prompts About Animals

Below, you’ll find a series of creative writing prompts. Choose one, and turn it into a short story, a poem, a play, or an essay. Write anything you want, and if you can’t decide what to write, then do a freewrite.

Children are delighted when a mama cat gives birth to a litter of five orange tabbies and one little gray runt.
Write a piece using the following image: a camel walking across the desert.
A young man on his first hunting trip has a deer in his sight and suddenly remembers the day his dad took him to see Bambi .
Write a piece using the following image: sea life dying in waters that have been poisoned with toxins or littered with dangerous waste.
Sunlight dances on the surface of the water. Waves roll gently against the shore. Seagulls soar above, dipping and diving through the sky.
A school of dolphins is too trusting and approaches a boat whose crew is intent on capturing the dolphins and bringing them to a theme park for a swim-with-the-dolphins attraction.
A bird and squirrel live together in the same tree (like The Odd Couple ).
Write about hunting.
Two children, a brother and sister, respectively capture a butterfly and a moth, then proceed to argue over which insect is superior.
Write a piece using the following image: a bird’s nest full of eggs.

two puppies are seperated at birth. then reunited at the dog pound, when they are taken from their owners

That’s a great one! Thanks, James.

Why would an animal lover want to write about hunting?

Why wouldn’t they? There are animal lovers who hunt, and some animal lovers might have opinions about hunting that they want to express.

Animal lovers who hunt sort of doesn’t make sense because if they love animals, then why do they kill them?

I have known people who love their cats and dogs but go duck hunting. Most people who love animals also eat meat.

These look cool! TOTALLY using one!!

That’s awesome! Thanks, Margaret.

We love dogs! Canine writing prompts for your homeschool

by Daniella Dautrich | Jun 12, 2019 | Writing & Journal Prompts

If your kids have a dog, writing prompts about canine tricks, search and rescue teams, and a puppy business will fire up their creative writing!

From the deck of the Mayflower to the White House lawn , dogs have rightfully earned their titles as “man’s best friend.” Encourage your kids to try their hand at these fun writing prompts for dog lovers!

1. I Will Always Find You

Search and rescue (SAR) dogs work alongside their handlers to track missing humans. With their acute sense of smell, SAR dogs can work in most kinds of weather and environments, whether day or night. Write a story about a search and rescue German Shepherd who is called to action after a powerful earthquake hits Los Angeles.

2. Doggy Dress-up

You are a friendly chihuahua who just met the poodle who lives next door. The two of you quickly discover how much you have in common, including a history of embarrassing Halloween costumes. Describe the fairy costume your family made you wear this October, and explain how you really feel about playing dress-up.

3. That’s a Strange Dog, Charlie Brown

Poor Charlie Brown wants to train his dog to play fetch, but once again Snoopy won’t cooperate. Describe the steps Charlie Brown must take to convince Snoopy to play, and insert as many onomatopoeic (sound) words as possible.

4. In the Dog House

Who says a night in the dog house is cold and lonely? Imagine that you’ve come up with plans for a luxury dog house for your pet. Write a persuasive paragraph to convince your parents that Fido deserves this posh, two-story pad. (If you want to take the opposite side, write a letter to the editor about why people should stop spoiling their pets.)

5. Puppy Love

Raising puppies for profit is no small task when you consider the time and energy involved (not to mention possible damage to your home and yard). Prepare a list of six questions for someone who specializes in raising and selling Black Labrador Retrievers . You want to know if this could be a successful and fulfilling business for you.

Encourage Writing with Pet Picture Writing Prompts

August 16, 2021 by ami Leave a Comment

I have a lot of magic tricks in my bag when it comes to creative writing lessons . One of my favorites is using pictures to inspire creative writing.

Students love animals. This set of Pet Picture Writing Prompts will provide countless writing ideas for your students.

Even unenthusiastic writers may push their pencils across the page when they find out that they get to write about pets.

Animals Included in the Pet Picture Writing Prompts

This set of 26 picture writing prompts includes the following pets:

cats (and kittens)
dogs (and puppies)
hermit crab

Use the Pictures to Create Missing Pet Posters

Students can use the picture prompts for a variety of writing projects including a missing pet poster.

Students will imagine they are the owner of the pet in the photo, and, unfortunately, the pet is missing.

First, discuss the purpose of a missing pet poster. When a pet is lost, owners make missing pet posters with the intention of drawing attention to the sign. The owner wants people to look, notice, and remember if they have seen the missing pet.

What is the best way to get people’s attention? Bright colors, large words, and important phrases will help people notice the missing pet poster.

Next, discuss what important information should be included on the missing pet poster. Ask students for their input. Make sure to cover all of these points:

A picture of the pet
A phrase that instantly captures people’s attention
A phone number of who to call

For this writing exercise, you can also require your students to include the pet’s name and a brief (2-3 sentences) description of the pet. This could include what the pet looks like as well as some of the pet’s personality traits.

Be sure to provide large paper, crayons, markers, and other art supplies your students would enjoy in order to complete this project.

Other Ways to Use the Pet Picture Writing Prompts

You can use these pet pictures in other creative writing exercises, too.

Write a Description

Describe the pet. Encourage students to write 3-5 sentences describing the pet in their picture. What is the pet’s name? What is the pet’s personality? Can the pet do any funny tricks? Why do you like or dislike this pet?

Write a Short Story

Advanced students may be ready for this straightforward prompt: Write a short story based on the picture. Discuss possible conflicts before your students begin. What are some conflicts (or problems) that can pertain to pets?

Pets get sick. What diseases can pets have? Do they ever injure themselves? This could be a potential problem for your student’s short story. Will the pet need to go to the vet? Will the vet fix the problem?
Pets get lost. A pet can get lost in the house (especially little pets like mice and hamsters). They can also get lost outside of the house.
Parents don’t want pets, but kids do. Your student could write a story about a child who desperately desires a pet, but the parent doesn’t think the child is responsible. What will happen? Will the child prove herself? Will she be able to get the pet? How?

Complete an Animal Research Project

Research the animal. Find out what this pet needs.

Your student can draw the perfect habitat for this pet and write a paragraph about everything the pet needs to survive and thrive.

5 Best Essay Examples

1. long essay on dog by prasanna, 2. dogs are better than cats essay by anonymous on papersowl.com , 3. dogs are not just companions — they are true bae by anonymous on gradesfixer.com, 4. dog is a man’s best friend by anonymous on eduzaurus.com, 5. lessons we can learn from the life of our pet dogs by anonymous on gradesfixer.com, 1. the truths about dogs, 2. pros and cons of having a dog, 3. the most famous dog breeds, 4. dogs and expenses, 5. a dog’s lifespan, 6. dogs and society, 7. my first dog, 8. dogs and mental health.

“Dogs have been a companion to man for almost 40,000 years. Dogs perform many functions. They are trained and are one of the popular pets to have.”

Prasanna’s essay contains general facts about dogs, such as their origin, characteristics, behavior, love for meat, and more. She describes the dog as a four-legged animal with sharp eyes, sensitive ears and nose, and of different breeds, sizes, and colors. The essay includes the various functions of dogs, such as hunting, pulling sleds, protecting, comforting their owners, and improving their well-being. Check out these articles about animals .

“… Dogs are better than cats. The loyalty, bravery, and human characteristics of dogs, as well as, the service and personal benefits of owning a dog far exceed those owning a cat.”

In this essay, the writer mentions how dogs are more energetic, friendly, protective, and easier to train and bond with than cats. The writer effectively discusses the advantages and disadvantages of owning these pets as a dog and cat owner. It also provides the readers with the relevant information they need when they look for a pet to adopt. If you disagree with this stance, check out these articles and essays about cats .

“They can read your facial expression, socialize and communicate just like any other human does. Dogs can empathize with human feeling and match with the wavelengths of their owners in an instant. They can easily decipher your depressed condition and they can smell your fears.”

The author uses research findings and a real-life story to prove that humans and dogs share a strong bond that’s unbreakable and unfathomable. In addition, they say dogs are the best therapy animals because they are compassionate, respond in a friendly way, and do not show stressful behavior while playing with patients.

To prove that dogs show loyalty, unconditional love, and strong friendship, the writer uses the story “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.” The story is about Hachiko, the Akita dog that walks his owner to and from the train station until his owner suddenly dies at work. As a loyal dog, Hachiko always comes to the station and waits with anticipation to witness his return until his last breath showing that they are truly best friends for life.

“… Not just a pet, but a part of the family. When we give love freely to dogs, we receive their love and affection in return. Dogs can truly be a man’s best friend, and we should be grateful to be theirs as well.”

This essay talks about the indescribable bond between a dog and its owner. Harley is the name of the writer’s big and muscular white female bulldog with a soft heart. The writer discusses how she gives them so much joy every time they play, train, and ride in the car. This essay also shows how protective the dog is and how it barks whenever someone strange approaches them. The author firmly believes that dogs are gifts sent by God.

“Dogs are not called man’s best friend for nothing. Aside the fact that they are a delight to look upon, they are also sweet creatures that act in ways we can learn from.”

This essay includes essential life lessons humans can learn from dogs, such as being adaptable to different environments or situations and remaining loyal and faithful to anything or anyone. Dogs’ carefree attitude allows them to be comfortable with themselves. It demonstrates how people can live freely to enjoy life happily.

8 Writing Prompts for Essays About Dogs

Did you know dogs are domesticated wolves ? If you plan to write a fun and engaging essay, look for amusing dog facts that many are unaware of. You can focus on one breed or discuss dogs in general. First, share the dog’s history, characteristics, and unique behaviors. Then, search for common dog myths and correct them.

If this sounds like a lot of work, do a 5 paragraph essay instead.

It has been proven that dogs are excellent for human well-being. They make people happy and comfort their owners whenever they’re sad. However, dog ownership is not just rainbows and sunshine.

For this prompt, consider the benefits and drawbacks of adopting a dog. In the conclusion, give your own opinion on whether people should have dogs or not. Add your reasons; this could be the cost, aggressive dog breeds, or allergies.

There are many dog breeds today. Pick the most popular ones and include why they are the ones usually seen, bought, or adopted. Write their characteristics and behaviors to help your readers learn about the similarities and differences between each dog. Use pet articles, scientific research, or other reliable sources to make your essay more credible.

You can also tackle the issue of dog crossbreeding , which can lead to genetic mutations.

Dogs need a place to sleep, training, grooming essentials, and other supplies besides the basics, such as food and water. These additional and continuous expenses hinder others from adopting dogs. Use this prompt to share factors that will help you decide whether to pursue adoption. Then, identify dog essentials and items and offer cheaper alternatives to save money.

The average lifespan of a dog is 10 to 13 years , which is much shorter than humans. This means humans usually outlive their canine companions. In this prompt, you can teach the readers how to calculate the lifespan of their dogs based on size and type. Then, advise the dog owners how they can make their dog’s stay on Earth worth it. For an interesting piece of writing, look for a story of a dog outliving its owner and how it reacted or lived out its remaining days, and include this in your essay.

Many households believe dogs symbolize protection and love. Society also adjusted to accommodate dogs with animal laws and dog parks. Further explain how interwoven dogs and the community are, that they’re now a necessary part of some people’s lives. For example, having a dog can make someone more sociable by setting a play date with other dogs and interacting with the other fur parents.

Use this prompt to share your first dog ownership experience with your readers. First, introduce your dog and how you got it. Next, describe your first dog’s unique qualities and add your unforgettable memories together. End your essay with the greatest life lesson your dog taught you that you still practice today.

Aside from helping their owners have a more active lifestyle, dogs also improve mental health. For this prompt, focus on therapy dogs. Discuss what they offer, including their therapeutic effects on their owners. Then, identify who needs them the most. Add the best breeds for therapy dogs and why.

Business ideas for military spouses, tailored to your talents

The military lifestyle builds strengths military spouses may not even know they have. Picking up and moving every three years, navigating single parenting during deployments, adjusting to different locales, people and duty stations are tasks military spouses take on every day.

These challenges may not reward a military spouse with certificates or degrees, but they teach skills. These are skills military spouses can leverage to build a career that travels with them.

Creative Business Ideas for the Military Spouse

Identifying and leveraging unique strengths and weaknesses can guide military spouses toward fulfilling and successful business ventures. Military spouses can explore building businesses that align with their personal attributes, interests and strengths.

Taking stock of personal strengths can inspire military spouse entrepreneurs to build businesses that travel with them. Take a career from place to place with these ideas featuring real-life MilSpouse businesses.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Crane and Co. Boutique (@shopcraneandco)

Crane and Co Boutique is a military-spouse-founded online clothing shop. The founder, Amber Crane, knew fashion was her interest and a strength. She built her business by encouraging military spouses to recognize their individual beauty.

This boutique transfers to each new duty station with her. Amber does not have to set aside her career because of living the military spouse lifestyle.

Military spouse authors and writers just need laptops to harness their skills. By focusing on their passions, whether writing as a children’s book author, like Jessica Stremer , or diving into the self-published world like Katie Bonecutter , being a military spouse author is a job that can be done anywhere.

This is not limited to traditional authors either. From blogging to freelance writing, military spouse writers can move their careers wherever they go.

Handmade Goods

Handmade crafters and artisans can create no matter where the military takes them. Whether by hosting wine and paint nights to teach the neighbors to make beautiful creations or selling custom gifts on Spouse-ly , creative crafting MilSpouses put their talents on display by leaning into their interests. By selling their goods in the online marketplace, a brick-and-mortar store is not needed.

Digital Design

Spouses thrive in the digital publication realms. Whether they work in building websites , work as Virtual Assistants, or thrive in Human Resources, military spouses with technical backgrounds and expertise are not hindered by following their servicemembers around the world.

Real Estate and Home Organization

Selling real estate, offering personal organizing services, home daycare, babysitting and pet sitting are all needs military spouses can fill. These positions move with them to their next base or community.

It just takes recognizing strengths and weaknesses, leaning into talents and filling a need. There are many business ideas that utilize unique skills and transfer from place to place.

Steps to Find a Career as A Military Spouse

The first step for military spouses wanting to build a portable career is to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Next, they should take stock of their interests and pinpoint what they enjoy doing or making.

There are many resources like Military OneSource, the Small Business Administration and Career OneStop for business startup or employment options in that field of expertise. LinkedIn offers a free year of premium membership to military spouses. It is an active search database for jobs in a desired career. The platform is also a great spot to connect with other professionals who have built a business in the same niche.

Military Spouses Have Unique Career Opportunities

MilSpouse entrepreneurs use the strengths of being a military spouse to create careers that move with them. They take their creativity and give it direction. By following the desire to serve in their own ways, military spouse entrepreneurs allow the instability of military life to inspire creativity to achieve personal goals.

While the constant temporary cycle of military life may prevent traditional office-based careers from being realistic for military spouses, it provides the exact climate to bring out unique business and career opportunities that do mesh well with the often-chaotic military lifestyle.

Within the trials of military life, military spouses can find their career happy place. They can build businesses that not only thrive but also bring personal satisfaction and balance to their lives.

Key Tips for Naming Your Dog Daycare

Choosing the right name for your dog daycare involves several considerations to ensure it resonates with potential customers and reflects your services.

Reflect Your Service

Your business name should clearly indicate that you offer dog daycare services. This helps potential customers understand what you do at a glance. Words like “dog,” “puppy,” and “canine” can help get the message across.

Keep It Simple

A simple name is easier to remember and pronounce. Avoid using complex words or phrases. A straightforward name can be more effective and catchy.

Consider Your Target Audience

Think about the type of customers you want to attract. A playful name might appeal to young pet owners, while a professional-sounding name might attract an older crowd. Match your name to the vibe you want your business to have.

Make It Unique

A unique name helps your business stand out from competitors. Check that other daycares in your area don’t have similar names. This helps avoid confusion and makes your brand memorable.

Incorporate Your Location

Adding your city or neighborhood to your business name can make it more personal. It helps local customers find you more easily. For example, “Brooklyn Bark” immediately tells people where you’re located.

Test It Out

Before finalizing, say the name out loud and write it down. Share it with friends and family to get their opinions. This helps you see how it sounds and looks in real-life situations.

Check for Domain Availability

Ensure the corresponding domain name is available if you plan to build a website. A matching domain makes it easier for customers to find you online. It also shows professionalism.

Avoid Trends

Trendy names can become outdated quickly. Choose a name that will still feel relevant many years from now. Timeless names can help build a long-lasting brand.

Final Thoughts

Finding the perfect name for your dog daycare can make a big difference. This list of 510 ideas offers plenty of options, from creative and cute to unique and modern. Choose a name that reflects your business and appeals to pet owners. With the right name, your daycare will stand out and attract more furry clients.
