Finding Your Forever Pet

November 1, 2010

If you aren’t an insane pet lover, or animal lover in general, like me, just stop right here. Because you won’t love and appreciate what I’m writing about today. And you just won’t get it. For the rest of you, whether your love is a cat, a dog, a lizard, a snake, a frog, a [...]

I really don’t need a good excuse to take a nap but if I did, this is as good a reason as any. Please stop by the Purina Cat Chow Facebook page today and pledge to take a nap and help fight breast cancer! Meanwhile, Arnie and Josie are calling me. We’re ready for our [...]

July 6, 2010

Our local newspaper, The News & Observer, ran an article on Saturday about the latest status of SB 460, also known as the Puppy Mill bill. This issue is near and dear to my heart for several reasons. As I sat down to write a letter to the editor about my point of view, I [...]

Terms of Endearment: How pets make us say ridiculous things

June 22, 2010

I’ve never been a fan of baby talk. I’ve never been a goo-goo ga-ga type. My son would often look at me and babble away. I would simply look at him and return the conversation with, “Oh really? That’s an interesting theory. I’ve never heard it proposed that way.” It was funny to me but [...]
