October Precious Pets features Buck and Boonie⁠
The inseparable, true soul brothers of the Powell family.⁠
Family member names: Jewell Powell, Federico Marangoni, Summer Powell⁠
Buck Powell, a Pitbull/Black Male Lab mix, 5 Years Old⁠
Boonie Powell, a Poodle/ Husky mix Male , 1 Year Old ⁠
Buck joined our family in the most unexpected and magical way. I was road-tripping from Virginia to Arizona in 2021 when I spotted him wandering alone through an abandoned neighborhood in Oklahoma. He looked malnourished and lost, but even in that state, he had this gentle spirit about him. I knew I couldn’t just drive away. After searching for an owner with no luck, I made the best detour of my life and Buck’s been by my side ever since.⁠
Boonie came along a bit later, during a bittersweet time. We had just lost our two senior dogs, and I was volunteering at a local shelter when I met this fluffy little firecracker. Something about him just said, “Take me home!” I couldn’t resist. I brought him home to meet Buck, and the two instantly bonded. They’ve been inseparable ever since true soul brothers.⁠
Buck got his name after we settled into a small Arizona town called Buckeye. The name just stuck strong, sweet, and fitting for his adventurous spirit.⁠
Boonie, on the other hand, looked like a tiny ball of energy ready to burst with cuteness. “Boonie” popped into my head, and it suited him perfectly quirky, lovable, and just a little wild.⁠
They’re the emotional support team we never knew we needed. Whenever someone in the house is sad or stressed, they just know. Buck and Boonie will be there in a heartbeat, licking faces, doing silly things, or just cuddling close. They’ve taught us the true meaning of unconditional love.⁠
Despite Buck being a pitbull mix, he’s one of the gentlest, most affectionate dogs I’ve ever known. He truly wants to be everyone’s friend. Both Buck and Boonie have not only brought us comfort and laughs, but they’ve shown our family how beautiful second chances and a whole lot of dog kisses can be.⁠
Thank you Powell family for sharing your precious pets!⁠

Wishing you a peaceful Yom Kippur- 'Yom Kippur- Day of Atonement' is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei,[5] corresponding to a date in late September or early October.
For traditional Jewish people, it is primarily centered on atonement and repentance. The day's main observances consist of full fasting and asceticism, both accompanied by extended prayer services (usually at synagogue) and sin confessions. Some minor Jewish denominations, such as Reconstructionist Judaism, focus less on sins and more on one's goals and accomplishments and setting yearly intention.

Shanah Tovah To all North Residents who celebrate. Rosh Hashanah is the New Year in Judaism. The biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah (יוֹם תְּרוּעָה‎, Yōm Tərūʿā, lit. 'day of cheering or blasting'). It is the first of the High Holy Days (Days of Awe'), as specified by Leviticus 23:23–25,[1] that occur in the late summer/early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere. Rosh Hashanah begins the Ten Days of Repentance culminating in Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. It is followed by the Fall festival of Sukkot which ends with Shemini Atzeret in Israel and Simchat Torah everywhere else.
