When I posted about a cute and tiny USB flash drive there was also a silly photo of a dog wearing one. It was sent to ThinkGeek.com in jest by someone who observed that dogs have important files they need to store too. Well it turns out, there already something along these lines available just

I just found something new going for Apple’s iPad. It’s got the kitty seal of approval, as evidenced by Iggy the cat who investigates the iPad in the video below. Only makes sense though that cats should approve of computers in general, what with that whole mouse thing. Good thing the iPad’s glass screen is

I thought we could all use something lighter after my last couple of posts about pet food. I know I could. While I think it’s a hugely important issue, I can only think about it so much, and hope you welcome the break as well. We all just do the best we can, and hope

Those who know me, know I have looked long and hard at what I feed the animals in my care – members of the family in every sense of the word. What began as a search for answers to problems that stumped all the veterinarians we saw, ended up leading to a complete rethinking of
