It’s Not All Purrs and Snuggles
A kitty, who shall remain nameless, took her frustrations out on me yesterday. Â I’ve got a case of Cat Scratch Fever! …

Kitty Sitter
I’ve wanted to do some sort of volunteer work for a while now and yesterday I began at the London Humane Society as a cat socializer – I jokingly call my position “kitty wrangler”. Â …
Chickening Out
Why is it important that the chicken I’m about to eat was allowed to roam freely, attend the school of its choosing and dream of a better life before it was slaughtered, cut up and packaged? …
Evolution in Action?
No matter how you slice it, this is just unusual. Â …
A Fair Experience
It’s corny (and corn-doggy) but I love the Western Fair. …
Things to Love About London
This city is getting a bad rap lately for a big unemployment rate.

My Daily Dose of “Happy”
All this week I have watched this video at least twice a day. …
Today’s Theme: Trees

No More Trouble
Why we’re only now hearing that billionaire hotel magnate Leona Helmsley’s pampered pooch, Trouble, died in December, is a bit of a mystery. Back when the Queen of Mean died in 2007, $12 million of her vast fortune was set aside for the care of Trouble, her beloved Maltese. …
Be A Cool Cat, Stan
Stanley was the only cat I ever really loved. …
Purin the Wonder-Beagle!
Sometimes you just have to give in to “cute”. …
