I'd love to find something from the decade our neighbourhood went up (the 60s). Maybe some coins, maybe some child that used to live here buried a box of mementos, something like that. I love old things.

I don't know if it's sad or what, but I've had hearing aids since I was a kid, so about 20 years or so, and I'd never heard of these types of headphones (or lots of other things that go with hearing aids or the like). Parents assume I'd learn this stuff from the audiologist, the audiologist...

Exactly. My first thought when someone asks about or mentions that their dog stinks, is usually related to the food it's eating. Alpo, Dog Chow, Kibbles N' Bits, generic store-brands, even slightly better foods like Iams, Eukanuba, Pro-Plan. Sometimes the food will actually be good quality, it...

I feel bad for the poor dog, but the fail comes from the owner.

Just a couple of weeks ago, a repairman came to clean and fix the furnace/vents (the thermostat didn't seem to be working). Somehow the back door got left open, and when the guy turned on his monstrous, thunderous, chaos of a machine to clean the vents, Molly freaking booked it and disappeared...

Apparently I've already posted my big kids (three cats, one dog), but haven't posted my male mouse or my gerbils. So hold on, here I come! Waldo is a longhaired Broken Black-Tan My first mouse was Bartholomew (Bart for short), a Broken Banded Brindle. He passed away after only a...

My goodness, I've done been killed from the cuteness! I was dizzy from the fuzzy wuzzy in the first shot, then I was assaulted by the kissable belly shot with little feetsies. I have to go back to see if I've already posted my animals, but for now, I'll post the pics of my female mice, who...

(Molly watching an old mouse I had, named Bartholomew) They love to sit on top of the cages (I use tanks with mesh lids). Heck, sometimes they'll sleep up there all night. I get a little concerned about the mesh lid being warped from their weight (Molly, the heaviest, is 11lbs) but I'm not...

This is Jake, my 12 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He just had surgery the other day to remove a lump on his hip, so he looks a bit odd right now. All bald and whatnot, lol This is Willow, the 9 year old dilute tortoiseshell Buffy is the 7 year old black shorthair...

Crush 'em. If it's a solid pill, grind it up under a flat-base mug (what I do, lol), then sprinkle it over his food. If it's kibble, add water and swirl it all around. If it's canned food, mix the powder in with the food. If it's a capsule, open it up and do the same thing (sprinkle it on food)...

I would need more info before voting. Personally, no one should ever take the acquisition of a new pet lightly. Birds live FOREVER, and Bearded Dragons live a long time too (I want to say around 20 years). You need to research, research, and then research some more. I know with some birds...

can you be allergic to peanuts from birth, or do they usually show up a little while later? Didn't PB&J sandwiches used to be a staple in a child's diet? If you never eat it, or get exposed to it, you develop less of a resistance to it. Studies have proven that if you're exposed to family pets...

I'm going to offer one more suggestion: try changing his food. Seriously, food impacts nearly everything about an animal. Some food (usually lower quality) can make a cat shed more. The length of the coat also doesn't mean anything: it's the density of the coat. I've got a longhair cat: has...

I write like Margaret Atwood, apparently. Not sure how I feel about that, as I've always found her books to be kind of, well, dull. Not the writing (I don't think), just the story lines. I like a little more action. But maybe the times I attempted to read her stuff were days when I just wasn't...

There are some freaky intelligent birds out there, so that's my pick. They can launch an attack, then disappear in the blink of an eye. They're the unassuming ones you gotta watch out for. Everyone's looking at the monkeys instead.

What about car alarms? I don't drive, and my parents have never had a car that had a car alarm (or if they did, they disabled it. I think I remember a car, possibly ours, going off at night). Now, I'm not quite sure if all cars have flashing lights when the alarm is going off, but I feel like...

This is Buffy (black, at back) and Willow (dilute tortoiseshell, in front). Willow raised Buffy when Buffy was 4 weeks old and Willow was 2 years old. They were inseparable for several months (then Willow weaned Buffy, who is still pissed about it). Buffy's a little hellion, who suffers no...

Mine is of one of my cats (Buffy) being watched by my dog (Jake), who loves his "job" of making sure none of the cats get out of line when they get to play outside. Jake's currently blocking Buffy's escape route to the neighbour's bushes, and Buffy's showing her displeasure (ears back)

A butt crawl? Some babies crawl on their hands and knees. Others crawl on with their butts. I'm told I crawled with my butt.

I love mayo on fries! My mom is dutch, so when we were kids we went over there a couple of times, which is when we were introduces to mayo-on-fries. Mmmmm, any time I have that these days, I flashback to cool, rainy Holland days with the scent of corn dogs in the air.
