So my husband and I decided we'd start a vegetable garden this year. You know, to save money in this terrible economy.
So $50 later, we have all kinds of seeds, from asparagus to zucchini. (Thank you, little daughter, for helping us pick out one of every... - read more

I always thought of myself as more a dog person than a cat person.
Now, until I was all "grown up" and living on my own, I had pretty much no experience to back that up.
Sure, we had a dog when I was a kid -- he was a mutt named Socks. And I loved him... - read more

Niko (or White Paws, as my daughter calls her) loves lotion and conditioner.
She jumps on the counter when she knows I've got the lotion out and she'll try to lick my hands. Or after I've washed my hair, she'll come up behind me on the sofa and try to lick... - read more

... wet dog!
In the midst of rubbing snow all over the dog a few days ago, my daughter asked when we could give the dogs a bath.
Now, the kids love to wash the dogs, so it seems like once summer arrives, we're outside once a week with the hose and... - read more

There's your doggie day care and there's your off-leash dog park.
Put them together, and what do you get? Play groups for dogs.
I saw a vehicle recently advertising its play groups, where they pick up your dog, take him to a fenced park with other dogs,... - read more

I was watching an episode of "Will and Grace" where they got a puppy.
They were trying to figure out who would take care of the puppy on which days and Grace said she wanted the puppy every other weekend and on Jewish holidays.
So I got to wondering... - read more

Has your dog or cat ever farted? Have you ever farted and blamed your pet?
That's what's behind (get it?) the children's book series, "Walter the Farting Dog."
My mom got my daughter one of those books last year for her 4-year-old birthday. So she... - read more

I read the stories recently about the woman who kept a chimpanzee as a pet. It was killed after it attacked the woman's friend.
Do you think people should keep exotic animals as pets?
I'm not sure myself, but I think if you're going to keep an exotic... - read more

I've been feeling pretty artsy lately, wanting to learn watercolors and pencil.
And I like seeing art that evokes a feeling. To me, that often means pictures of people or animals.
I'm not too good a people yet (faces are HARD!!!) and I'm just OK with... - read more
