We own a big, hairy, outdoor brute of a dog.  How about you?  Is your dog itching, scratching and stinking beyond belief?  Ours isn’t too stinky, but he sure is dirty, and itchy. I’ve just heard of an all natural dog shampoo from Dinovite that looks absolutely wonderful! It really is incredibly natural - as folks with a background in organic farming we’ve seen a lot of ‘natural’ products that are anything but that, but this ingredient list is fabulous.  Among it’s many virtues, the shampo

There’s been a fair bit in the news about vast poppy fields in Afghanistan, but if you think most of the world’s opiates come from the Middle East you’re around 10,000kms off the mark. An interesting fact tailor-made for dinner party conversation is that over half of all pharmaceutical grade alkaloids are derived from crops grown in Tasmania. How do we know this? Because stoned wallabies have started making crop circles.

As you may know, 1 of my all-time favorite websites is I Can Haz Cheezburger , where it’s imagined what cats are really saying.  The picture above got me thinking about the 2 extremes of handling pain.  There are those who do too little for themselves, and who let their pain control their activities.  And there are those who do too much, who won’t “give in,” who have problems accepting help. The picture above certainly illustrates the “do too little” tendency.  Readers, which side of the see

I decided today to build an ark. I mean, with the rain falling constantly (now close to 2 inches in less than 24 hours!) and the fact that I am living in my rain boots, I figure the safest bet is to just build the darn ark and they will come. Hubby and I decided to go out today to do our holiday shopping (the USA 4th of July Independence Day), and we brought Arnie with us. He was so glad to get out of his crate, where he has been living since Greta went into heat. He was an angel in the car an

On a whim last week, Brooke threw it out there that maybe we would live blog this week’s episode. Spoiler Alert: We did not live blog this week’s episode. Brooke really wanted to, but I told her that there were four episodes left in the season and “Once you go live blog, you can never go back.” She said I said that like it’s a well-known saying. Whatever. Live blogging is a special event, likely saved for the last two, maybe three episodes. We’ll see.LAST WEEKJake (or as I call him “Val Kilmer d

Remember the water damage from our heating pipes freezing, bursting, thawing back in January ? We’re finally getting around to fixing that part of the house…HURRAH! It’s been a huge job, taking weeks and weeks as it has to be repaired as people have time. I choose a wall color called “Amber” and love how it warms up the room as the sun moves across the sky. Every single wall in this house has, at the bare minimum, one opening and some have two or even three openings. Every wall has either a

One of the best pieces of work at The LA Film Festival was Branson. When you think of some of the great places to see a live show, where do you think of? Broadway? Hollywood? Vegas? I bet Branson, Missouri isn’t the first thing that pops into your head, but it is quickly becoming THE place for singers, dancers, and performers to strut their stuff on stage.

Proper citation references are essential when discussing high school research paper topics As students write on different assay assignments, various high school research paper topics differ in the writing and research methodology adopted for each as all have separate themes to discuss. Therefore, it is essential for the students to select a topic that is familiar to them, so that they can write about the same with confidence. However, students are advised to learn the art of writing a p

Barcelona has a lot of very good restaurants. Two of the best are Moo and Comerç 24 . The two are similar in many respects, but where they diverge is in their attitudes towards wine. I interviewed both their sommeliers in order to distill some of the trends in wine & fine dining from their words. Both restaurants have one Michelin star, are beautifully appointed, are playful & inventive with their dishes, while being excellent in service and preparation. Both restaurants also have a

It’s hard out there for a cat. Fortunately for Tucker, he’s able to blend in with the 8.3 billion stuffed animals on my daughter’s bed when he takes a cat-nap. And even better, my daughter will tuck him in. He laid like that for three hours or so. He’s not the most energetic of cats.

by Andyl Hannerl A lot of reasons are there for a dog to become aggressive towards other dogs. Some dogs can be fearful or nervous around other dogs, in some cases a dog is trying to prove that he is the dominant dog or just because the dog is being territorial. There are also some cases that a dog can be taught by the owner to be aggressive rather than be socially interactive with other dogs. Other dogs are simply being protective of their masters who make them aggressive in a way and

Dogs: Dogs are known as man’s best friend and welcome their owners to the house daily like their a new person. The problem is that some people have allergies to their fur, saliva, etc. And they can be sometimes too energetic when it comes to playing. They have to be taken outside to go to the bathroom also. Cats: Cats are known for their mostly calm nature. They go to the bathroom in their litter box which you have to change every now and then. They have extend-able claws and cause some all

by Rebecca Roberts This dog sports a very Oriental expression, and it’s no wonder they are called Japanese Chins! According to the American Kennel Club, these regal, dignified dogs have a bright, inquisitive, alert and intelligent expression. They look very Oriental, because of their broad heads and short muzzles, feathered ears, and large, wide-set eyes. The Japanese Chin is one of the most cat-like among the dog breeds when it comes to temperament. It uses its paws to wash or wipe its face

  As if we already didn’t know, Michael Jackson’s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe is now admitting that the late King of Pop was NOT the biological father of her children, Prince Michael and Paris Katherine. In a new interview with, “News of the World,” Debbie candidly says: “It was a place in both of our lives when we were both very lonely. We both loved animals. That’s how we got talking.  Michael was divorced (from Lisa Marie Presley), lonely and wanted children. I was the one who s

Tomorrow (that is Tuesday, June 30) would be a shameful day for Boston…. It is disbanding United States of America’s first mounted police unit. The AP report states: “(The Boston Mounted Unit’s) 12 horses would be given new homes — at least until the city can come up with funds to restore the unit.” What a shame that the budget cuts would hurt this 136-year-old historic police unit. The mounted police plays a significant role in crime prevention and does high visibility policing. The on-duty c

The other evening I had a strange dream. Now, most dreams are rather odd, but every once in a while a dream gives us a bit of truth about life. The following is an account of my dream. I found myself driving along a highway, following a gray pick up truck. I could see that we were nearing a storm on the horizon and it appeared to be a cloud burst. It was obvious that the rain was very heavy because the curtains created by the precipitation from the clouds had ceased to be translucent and had

Since I’ve moved seven times in the last 9 months I fancy myself an expert on the ‘signs’ that tell you that you’re moving again. As a public service, I offer the following indicators that your landlady wants you to move: 1. She stops stocking toilet paper in the communal bathroom, which you generally discover at 3 in the morning. 2. You can no longer enter the house from the front door because your ‘new room mate’s’ drums are blocking the entrance. 3. When you return to your room after havi

4             This was the year my father moved out, and I don’t remember that at all. My mother kept the house; he worked and she didn’t, so I imagine life was not that drastically different for me. Before he did, though, she took classes at the community college on Wednesdays, and he and I would go to a Japanese restaurant in the local mall that is now closed. We lived only a few blocks away, and he’d stroller me over when the need arose. We would also go look at masks in a small, cramped, h
