Denali's diet has been known to include a squirrel carcass and a runaway apple.

Cody is getting to the point where I can leave him alone while I run out for a few hours, but not in the dark.

I won’t say dogs are stupid … but you get a kitten, show it a litter box, and bam. The cat is trained.

When I checked on her, I saw a green leash leading under my bed and the tiniest sliver of black nose sticking out. I tried not to cry.

Just as I was about to give up, he assumed the position and did his business.

May the happiest dog win, even if its fur is disheveled.

It had to happen sometime: People would come over, and Darcy’s calm world would be rocked. I figured she’d hide and pout all weekend, but my sweet thing roamed, napped by all of us – even played with the other dogs!

No cocoa for the kitty.

An alligator was roaming the streets near the border of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

There are basic policies for about $12 a month that cover virtually nothing, and policies for $60 a month and more that help defray the costs of accidents, illnesses and “wellness” services.

A mighty huntress is born.

I'm a raging frugalista ... except when it comes to my dogs. They eat better and sleep better than I do!

I know, I know. There could be a human boy who would love that animal just as much as Denali does, and he wouldn't rip it to shreds.

He bosses the dogs around. He jumps on their heads and then pounces on their ears and bites them. If one doesn't want to play, Crawford will jump on the other one.
