I recently wen't to a pet store and got two guppies for my daughter. I have two dwarf frogs, one is a bore, and the other entertaining. But for some odd reason I wanted to keep myself busy with fish tanks and fish. I never knew that visiting the pet store would give me about forty or more baby guppies.They are so cute. I have birds,I can play with, I have a dog I can play with but I lacked having something to take care of. I feed my dog and birds every morning. Walking the dog a few times a d...

This is our 18 pound Orange Tabby, His name is Ahn Ju Gam, which in Korean means appetizer fixings; he got this name 8 years ago when my wife decided he seemed cool even though she professed to hate cats, humph! Although 18 pounds seems large, he was not fat although he did know how to throw his weight around. (Just ask the dog!) Link I show him in his full-sized glory since over the past months he had been experiencing large scale weight loss and incontinence, (Very annoyin...

Henry, my weiner dog, has some things to say about the article I published about him this afternoon... jcjcxnujhn ikn uj78u jfn  ujujhnm  vy676 huyyopl;cxnhhddc jmnc vw6yat34r,krfzgkjtghjnb; dfakljdfaJHUDFiokjldfkhdsfak Ahem...I will give this my best shot at translation... im not a yobbo like she said i just like the new green thing with the shiny stuff that she put out for me to play with and she put a nice new blanket under it for me but she yells at me when i go...

I have a hooligan of a dog. An absolute yobbo, a rebel against anything and everything human.......a psychotic lunatic of a weiner dog. He has these phases where he just goes....crazy.  Runs a circle from our living room to hallway to kitchen, stumpy little legs pumping, ears swept back, tongue loose and flapping.....running at maximum doggy velocity for no apparent reason. He refuses to heed some things we tell him.  I know he's not stupid, he's learned to sit ...

       So it's fall, which means (among other things) that the leaves are falling off the trees (at least where I live). Which Means they have to be raked, which isn't something I enjoy. But my life isn't primarily about my enjoyment, so that's not a problem. So out i go to rake, and it's really windy. Which isn't a problem either, the wind does most of the work anyways, I just need to get the leaves started in the right direction. The problem is our do...

As I opened my son's bedroom window this morning (airing the room, pre-teen boys stink, in case you didn't know) I head birds twittering.  Nothing unusual in that, we have lots of trees around, and there are always birds somewhere. But this was loud, and it was getting louder.  I looked up at the sky, and saw a swirling, chirping mass of sparrow descending into my yard.  There must have been thousands of them, flapping and tweeting and pecking and pooping.....the air was litera...

My Bulldog, Moses, cracks me up. You wouldn't think that a lazy dog like him could have such a cute personality. Now I'm not exactly an animal fanatic, there are very few dogs that I like but this dog is such a character. He sleeps in my room every night. he waits on me to go to bed. He also brings me something like a shoe or bone or one of his toys everytime I come home from school or work, and shakes his body continually until I acknowledge him. He also won't go outside when it's raining, u...

So I'm wasting some time online and I come across this: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=161971 For those of you too lazy to check out the link, it is a page that is offering a nice grenade launcher for sale. Normally, this would not catch my eye, since large explosive launchers are not what I normally associate myself with. Except that this is for sale on SPORTSMANSGUIDE.COM! What sportsman needs a grenade launcher? Have the deer evolved and become made of titanium? Have t...

Any day now, the National Parks Service will release a book contradicting the widely accepted theory that the Grand Canyon was created by years and years of painstaking work on the part of running water. The book will, instead, claim that the canyon was carved out by Noah's Flood. This recent revelation has led to considerable rage on the part of certain scientific individuals, who claim the government should not support this "Creationist" account of the origin of the Grand Canyon. A c...

My 8 year old found a baby snake in the yard today.  It crawled over his foot, causing him to run inside screaming and shaking with fear. I went out to see what it was, and spotted it under the outside toy box.  Small, about 8" long, with a grey/tan pattern and a flat diamond shaped head.  It struck at me, so I went and got a stainless steel bowl and my garden hoe (I looked for gloves and couldn't find any) and trapped it.  We're lucky; we have an entomology ...

We’re both strong-willed and stubborn My horse and me Wanting to please And wanting to be who we are But only doing when we have to Playful and exuberant Hungry at all times My horse and me Both having a longing To gallop through the fields Sharing the same disappointment That we can’t just both let go And go My horse and me Both excited to see the other Connecting in ways No one else can Understanding each other In fundamental ways Both lonely at times And joyful...

That's right, take my advice and never feed your dog cabbage. I gave my dachshund some red cabbage that I cooked for supper last night...and he's tooted all day today.  Some of them have made noise, and he's turned around to look at his bottom as if to say 'What's that noise?  Where's it coming from?' I'm surprised he hasn't floated away today, or propelled himself around the house at 60 miles an hour. He's sitting on my lap as I write.....*gag, cough*...this.   I th...

This is me and Henry this morning.  You can tell how much he grew: This is Henry sitting on command.  We've been practicing sitting and shaking a paw for a treat.  Today we started learning how to 'speak', and he's getting the hang of it. He'll sit and give a little woof on as long as I have a treat in my hand, so  I can't say that he's learned it yet; if he does it tomorrow and the day after then I'll say that he's learned it and know how to do it. Well...

Genital Electrocution: A Real-Life Shock-Horror Story Row after row of tiny wire-mesh cages, stacked four high and about 25 in a row, chinchillas peering watchfully through the wires, a rack of pelts hanging on a far wall, and except for a radio playing softly in one corner of the room, a morgue-like hush. That’s the scene that two PETA investigators found at a fur "factory" farm secluded in a quiet, snow-covered town in Michigan. PETA’s Research & Investigations Department sent two underc...
