A few weeks ago I posted a little story about Dairyland Greyhound Park’’s possible closing, leaving hundreds of Greyhounds needing a home.

I recently read a Los Angeles Times story about a Colorado situation that pitted a rancher against a mountain biker.

Thanksgiving is a day when we love to stuff ourselves full of fabulous treats. While this might be the plan for many, it is best to make sure the family dog doesn’t do the same. Cooked turkey meat is not bad for dogs, but dogs will often get too much of a good thing. This [...]

Earlier this week I told you about Oreo. Oreo stole the hearts of New Yorkers when she was thrown off a six story building by her owner last June. She managed to live through the physical damage, but the emotional damage made her un-adoptable according to the ASPCA, and she ended up being euthanized last [...]

You’ve seen them advertised on TV… The “Snuggie” ! They are all the rage, or at least that is what the commercials tell me. Yes these plush robes seem to be a “must have” to sit and watch TV or read a book. To me they look like you raided a monk’s closet, but people seem [...]
