I've never taken one of my dogs on vacation, but this spring the husband and I are planning a four day trip to a a local state park area for some hiking and R&R. Since Marley can jump 6' fences, I decided I would be stressed out less if he was with us rather than some one trying to contain him...

New Years Eve we took the Willow-cat to the emergency vet clinic for what turned out to be pneumonia. I set up an appointment for him yesterday for a re-check and told the normal vet I was bringing the Voodoo cat along because he had seemed "off"...not anything I could pinpoint specifically...

I don't think I ever posted these here....Every year, the local swimming beach is open to the dogs for one day.... Marley always runs around like a silly dork and wears himself out! It's always amusing to see the newfie water instinct kick in. He's not interested in chasing toys out into the...

I've often joked with my friend that runs a rescue that the animals know where to go for help...and this year it seems especially true with me and kittens. The first litter to seek me out was early this spring...a tiny Russian Blue mix showed up at our house and would not leave us alone and I...

I've been feeling a bit down lately. Seems just as soon as I find a way over one hurdle, another one comes along. So...I want to see some smiles! Newfie smiles...kid smiles...adult smiles...any sort of smile at all. Show me some happy faces! :D:D:D

Newfoundland puppy on craigslist in my own home town! I've sent any email 'cause I hate to think of this baby getting in the wrong hands, but I am in no sort of financial situation to take on another dog right now. Will post more info if I hear back from them, but it seems really odd that...

With Canada Day and the 4th of July happening, I thought Patriotic would be a good theme. So show me some flags, parades, fireworks, members of the arm forces and what ever else says patriotic to you!

My Voodoo cat is 10 years old..the first pet I got on my own, and is a "chronic snuffler" kitty. Basically, his nasal passages were damaged from a virus and he has a constant runny noise. His teeth were getting worse than I like to admit, but I was hesitant to have anything done because of the...

Every spring, the local Horses in Harness club hosts a spring plow day at the local metro park farm park for the public to come and see the horses in action. They've been doing this for about ten years now and can often have over twenty horses out working the field at one time. They'll give...

I entered a photo of my cat, Voodoo, in a "curious cat" contest that the local paper and pet store are hosting. It would be super cool if ya vote for me! I'm not even sure what sort of prize there is on the local level, besides bragging rights. But I thought it sounded like fun. Thanks!

That's what awaited me on my kitchen floor this morning after I came down stairs from showering. Marley strikes again. I think this time he must have wanted to make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to take to work because he got the almost empty jar of strawberry jam that was waiting to...

I've always been amazed by some of the power of nature - water crashing against rocks, winds, lightening...how a tiny seed can sprout and grow into a huge tree.... So for this challenge, I'd like to see photos that show some of the force of nature!

I think this guy was a little confused..... Ohio is thousands of miles off of the normal migratory route that pelicans normally take. So imagine my surprise when I decided to go for a drive this afternoon to Grand Lake St Mary's and saw the fellow waddling about on the ice!

I had planned on a nice surprise....Making a bunch of dog treats and mailing them to all our pup pals as Valentine's surprises. Yesterday I made up two batches and had one more batch planned to make today. Well, this morning, I decided to sleep in a bit usually I get up around 5:30. The dogs...
