It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And some faces, only a mother could love. It’s unfortunate that something so subjective as beauty is held so high as a standard, but that’s probably not something that will ever change.
The annual Lobsterfest music festival is a staple of alternative music in the Athens area, but this year’s lineup contains a big difference from previous years: a rapper.
There is something about seeing animals in what are normally human situations that has never grown old for me. It’s comforting, even if it’s anthropomorphizing on my part, to see even a prairie dog looking utterly bored, confused or complacent. We’ve all been there, bud.
If you’ve ever taken a stroll down Court Street, you’ve probably noticed something fluffy and orange in the window of the Board of Elections.
Evan Hamilton had seen the popular YouTube videos of spring fests in Athens – typically full of the “prettiest girls” and “cool dudes” and glorifying the experience of a street full of drunk college students. He felt something was missing.
If you’ve ever wanted to meet one of those lovable dogs you see daily on Instagram but unfortunately never had the chance, you’re in luck. This week’s Pet Instagram Review will focus on an issue that hits close to home — shelter dogs in Athens County. This week’s page is Bobcats of the Shelter Dogs, a nonprofit run by Ohio University students to raise money for local animal shelters. The account, @dogsofohiou, has almost 400 followers.
For many, the word “hedgehog” brings a particular image to mind: A fast, blue hedgehog scrambling across a screen collecting rings. However, the hedgehog in this week’s review couldn’t differ more from Sonic the Hedgehog — Matthew is a small and relaxed hog who likes to pose with flowers and with miniature toys and dolls.
“Protect Ya Neck,” because this week’s featured Instagram page will “Bring Da Ruckus.”
The fifth-annual Arabian Night was a night consisting of traditional Arabic food, song, dance and poetry that celebrated the diverse range of cultures in the Gulf region.
After a water main break left some areas in Athens without water and forced the university to close on Feb. 16, the Bobcat Unity Walk was rescheduled to take place on Tuesday.
Some say that owning a pet can give kids a sense of responsibility or purpose. If that’s true, then 16-year-old Kevin from Brisbane, Australia must be quite the responsible kid.
For whatever reason, some animals receive negative, sometimes unfair reputations in the public eye. Bats are a perfect example. While many people are afraid of the little guys, they actually are quite interesting and helpful creatures. They hunt insects, use echolocation to “see” in the dark and generally love to eat fruit, not people as some would fear, according to the Nature Conservancy. They can even help with cross-pollination because of their diet habits.
Sometimes, through a random cosmic chain of events where the stars are aligned just right, a dog and his or her owner look almost exactly alike.
When you imagine taking an animal for a walk, which species pops into your head? It’s most likely a dog. It’s rare to see any other type of animal going for a walk, which is sad because many animals enjoy being outside and deserve the opportunity to be walked just like dogs do.
Once again, this blog will stray a bit away from the “pet” portion of the title, in an effort to diversify the types of animals featured. This week we’ll take a look at Devil Ark (@devil_ark), a breeding facility for Tasmanian devils in Barrington Tops National Park in Australia with more than 2,400 followers. Tasmanian devils are marsupials and are therefore related to kangaroos and koalas, according to the San Diego Zoo. In addition, they are known to produce a “foul odor” under stress, so if you happen to encounter one, try not to stress it out.

While the concepts of “good” and “bad” are subjective and depend on the system of measurements I choose to apply to the pet Instagrams I view, this is a review blog after all, and I must pick a stance.
In a world of iPhones, self-driving cars, drones and virtual reality, technology may appear to be a brand new facet of human development. Committee members of the Fire to iPhone theme, however, would argue otherwise: technology has existed for most of human history.
For some, film is one of the most expressive forms of media. Movies can explore the human condition, they evoke emotion through both sound and visuals and can leave us with unforgettable scenes that stick in our mind far longer than when they flash upon the screen.
Shiba Inus are the smallest and oldest dogs from Japan, according to the American Kennel Club, but many people know them as the face of the “doge” meme.
