I usually spend this time of year making up wishlists for dogs and cats, and with a new kitten in the house, there's plenty she could be interested in finding under the tree (though for her, the tree itself is present enough). But then I saw a few things that I just had to stick on my Amazon Wishlist, and because I thought they were awesome I thought some of you out there might find them awesome too. If you want to get that special vet in your life something that blows the lid off a "I love ... Read more »

The 2012 Howliday Gift Guide is here!
Happy Holidays! I've been lucky enough to attend both Global Pet Expo and SuperZoo this year, skulking about the aisles in search of my favorite pet items of the year, and fortunately for us there was plenty to choose from. I've teamed up with the pet enthusiasts at Blog Paws to bring you some suggestions from the BlogPaws Great Gifts for Pets Holiday Gift Guide. (The guide in its entirety is viewable at the Blog Paws site.) Here are some of my favorites for under our tree, which if fate and the ... Read more »

Howliday Gift Guide: Haute Dogture
Being an animal lover comes with its share of stigmas and stereotypes. Perhaps there is some truth to the idea that we are more likely than our un-petted counterparts to have some stray cat hair on our clothes, for example, but to assume said clothes are more schlumpy than those of your average person is just not right. I prefer to think of it as fashion-forward: cruelty free fur. It's a revolution, actually. I would say my time in the frumpy world of yoga tracksuits had more to do with two ... Read more »

Howliday Week: Joy Pet Products Goose Down Coat Giveaway!
Think of this as the furry version of Oprah's Favorite Things, except with you all in your living room instead of in the studio, and me only giving away a few things instead of one to every reader.

This week is the ... Read more »
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Today I put in a few extra hours at my daughter's school in preparation for Mother's Day. Yep, on my day off I went in to help someone else's kids make presents for their moms who also had the day off but aren't the helping types. I was OK with this until one of the little rugrats (there's a paste eater in every class, isn't there?) colored all over his hands with permanent marker while I was working with the other 24 kids in the room. The teacher panicked, "Why did you use permanent ... Read more »
