On Dog Vaccinations: 9 Things to Consider
Not long ago, I was walking my pal Buster in my neighborhood. I spotted likely trouble: A Yorkshire Terrier was off-leash in his driveway half a block ahead and across the street. The inattentive owner was busy unloading groceries from the car.

Lately all I can do is sit here and plan my next move. Do I backpack across Europe? Should I start that novel? Maybe finish my MFA in Interpretive Dance? People told me I could do anything, they just didn’t tell me what. (sigh) But I need to distinguish myself somehow. I just seem to blend […]

Wildfire Season Approaches: Keep Your Cat Safe
One summer day in 1994 I woke up at about 4:30 a.m. The air was so full of smoke I thought my house was on fire. I ran around to check everything and finally I woke up enough to realize the smoke was coming from outside, not inside. Then I thought, "Oh my God, there's a wildfire, and it's right near my home!"

So I put out a call for cat men and received the photos and stories below. Show More Summary
