A friend's idiot neighbor is having marital problems, which he tried to smooth over by buying a puppy for his wife. Surprise! Turns out that she absolutely DOES NOT WANT this puppy and is looking for a home. It's a girl, 8 weeks old, pedigreed, very mellow. Has all her vaccines and was...

Today has been a bitter, bitter day. I found out that the lymphoma may have returned; have a few more tests, Pat. My cousin, whom I love dearly, was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I walked into my bedroom and found my cat Pweeqk dying. She was gone before we reached the vet's office...

So I met a neighbor just now. He saw me and my dogs out in the yard and came marching right up to the fence to, ya know, encourage his dogs to be friendly. He had a cheerful little scruffy puppy and--wait for it--one of the prettiest little pit bull girls I've ever seen. She was scared to the...

I'm going now with my friend to have her beloved Echo put to sleep. We thought it was diabetes; vet thought it might be Cushings; turned out her kidneys are shutting down. My friend might be able to keep her up and running for another month, but there is no dodging the truth: Echo, at 15, has...

I wash my hands. I swear I do. Often, even. So how does my keyboard get so filthy?!? More to the point, what's a good way to clean it? I use Clorox wipes at the moment, but there must be a better way!

OK, so I have the requisite neighbors who have a dog, though nobody knows why. She's a lovely dog, part sighthound and part something black-&-white-&-tan-and-skinny. Let's call her Rocket. Over the years, I've found Rocket wandering the neighborhood at least 40 times. That is NOT an...

WHY can't dogs just go out into the yard and poop? WHY must they search until they find the PERFECT blade of grass?!?

Other dogs take a Milk Bone from your hand. Not Katie. She'll sit in front of you and open her mouth. You have to insert the biscuit. And if she doesn't grasp it firmly enough and it falls? You have to pick it up and reinsert. (And yes, I do this. I have a big S tattooed on my forehead...

hear another word about Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan again, it will be too soon.

Help! I truly don't know what to do. My 3 year old computer is having seizures, ie, it frequently seizes up and will not respond to the trackpad. Or the mouse. It will let me work with Mail, but will not open/work anything else, including (sometimes) Chaz! Sometimes I have to turn it off...

People do such foolish things at times. A friend of mine has kept her little Shitzu going for (literally) years and years past when he was expected to die from cancer. And not just alive; happy and bouncy. He was a joy. About a week ago, he hurt his back and was in terrible pain, unable to...

It's nice out tonight, so I have the sliding glass doors to the patio open. The dogs are out there being dogs. Which includes occasional barking. They stop when I tell them "enough", and if they don't, I bring them inside. But what do I do about Monday's howling? Loud, blood-curdling...

I just took a look at Purina's ask-questions-about-dogs site. Somebody actually wanted to know if it was OK to put your dog in a kennel IN THE TRUNK of your car for a 3-4 hour road trip! With, of course, a couple of potty stops. Only one--ONE!--person seemed at all upset at the notion...

1. Murphy was an optimist. 2. Leakproof seals--will. 3. Self-starters--will not. 4. Interchangeable parts--won't. 5. There is always one more bug. 6. Warranties expire upon payment of invoice. 7. Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate. 8. You will remember that you forgot to...

Bought a 26' all-belt Flexi for Katie, just for the back yard. (Yes, the rope burns on my hand from her previous long line are almost healed.) Had it less than a week, and it paid for itself last night. She thought she'd climb the fence to go after a cat, but I just reeeeeeeeeled her back, no...

is not my friend! I just got a Magic Trackpad for my Mac, and let me tell you, the learning curve is more like a mountain! When they say "one finger tap to click," they mean ONE finger. (I know which one I'd like to use at this point, but I digress.) And two-fingered scrolling? You'd best...
