On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

Hi there! My name is Blackberry. Strawberry and I were left out in the Animal Friends parking lot. We don’t think we did anything wrong and we definitely don’t think that we deserved to be abandoned!

We don’t necessarily have to be adopted together, but we would really like the chance to go to our new forever home together. If you’re looking for a pair of calm and mature cats, you can’t go wrong with us! You’ll see come by and meet us at Animal Friends today!
Conan takes a Look at Ford
Last night Conan O’brien’s new show, Conan premiered on TBS at 11 EST, we were hoping to share with you the opener but couldn’t find it, so we thought this episode of Conan checking out a Ford Taurus SHO was fitting for the site.
TOBY JR.
7 year old dachshund
Hi, my name is Toby! I am a very happy-go-lucky sort of guy! I immediately like people when I meet them and I like other dogs too. I am pretty close to being housebroken, but may mark some in the home, especially if there is another male living with me. I am very good about letting adult humans take away food, toys, etc., but tend to guard a bit around other dogs and small children. I am a little older, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying playtime and walks whenever I get the chance. I am also happy being a couch potato snuggled up with my favorite human. Please stop by for a visit and my foster parents will tell you all about my other wonderful qualities!! Don’t wait too long because I’m a real charmer and probably won’t last long! Come meet me today at Animal Friends!

TEDDI
10 year old domestic longhair
Aren’t I one of the prettiest cats you’ve ever seen? Teddi is the name, finding a forever home is my game!
In my last home, I lived with other cats and dogs, and I got along well with all of them. Now that my former family has had to move, I am waiting patiently at Animal Friends for a new forever home. I’m sure that the perfect home is out there for me!
I’m pretty shy and need some time to get used to my surroundings. Don’t worry, with some time and patience, it will be as if we’ve been friends forever. I’m not one of those cats who want to be picked up and carried around all day – when I want attention, I’ll be sure to let you know.
So what do you say? Could you be my new forever family? Let’s meet at Animal Friends Today and find out!

Strength Bands; Quick Workout, No Excuses
We love these strength bands, they offer an awesome quick workout when you are strapped on time or if you are traveling. No need to try to carry extra weight around, forget the dumbbells, pack a strength band in your bag, takes up less space and weighs next to nothing.
Here is an ultra-quick workout that targets the major muscles of the body for a quick, efficient workout. This won’t take the place of a complete total body program, but it’s great for maintaining fitness without spending a lot of time exercising. For this workout you’ll need a light-medium weight resistance band and a chair.
• Warm up with a few minutes of walking in place
• Do each exercise for about 1 minute (add more sets if you have time)
• Go slowly to really work your muscles
• If you don’t have a resistance band, use full water bottles as dumbbells or nothing at all
Pushups Pushups work your arms, chest, abs and back and you don’t need any equipment. Do them on your knees (easier) or toes and keep your back straight (no sagging) and your head in neutral alignment. Keep abs tight as you lower and exhale as you push back up. Do as many as you can for one minute and move on.
Plie Squats w/ Biceps Curls Stand with feet wider than shoulders, toes turned out and resistance band stretched beneath feet. Keeping the band taut, lower into a plie, keeping knees in line (and behind) toes and curl arms up. Lower the arms and push into the heels to stand up. Repeat for 1 minute.
One-legged Squat with Shoulder Press Stand with right foot on band and left foot lifted a few inches off the ground. Hold the other band in the right hand just over the shoulder and hold onto a chair. Bend knee and lower into a one-legged squat (butt back, knee behind toe). As you press back up, push the right arm up in an overhead press. Do about 16 and switch to the other side.
Deadlift with Band Row Stand on band and pull it tight, hands in front of thighs. Keeping back flat, tip from the hips and bring hands down the legs to mid shin. At the bottom of the movement, bend elbows and pull them up to your ribcage, contracting the back. Lower the arms and stand back up, repeating for 1 minute.
Triceps Dips Find a chair or solid object and sit on it with hands next to hips. Move hips in front of chair and, keeping butt close to the chair, bend the elbows and lower a few inches. Don’t sink into the shoulder or lower past 90 degrees. Repeat for one minute.
Side Plank Ab Twist Lie on your side and push up so that your body is supported by right hand (or bent forearm), feet stacked. Straighten left arm and sweep it down, twisting your body and turning shoulders towards the floor (hips don’t move). Do it on the other side and then hit the beach.
