I’ve always wanted an African Grey parrot; it all started when I was a kid and I read the wonderful book “Harry’s Mad” by Dick King-Smith, the guy who wrote the book-turned-movie, The Water Horse. African Greys are not nearly as “beautiful” (colorful) as other parrots, but they sure can talk and even use logic to […]
This is my 100th blog post! What a long way I’ve come from my first blog post, aptly and boringly titled, “First Post” – it was a description of me learning to blog! And what a variety of subjects I’ve covered, from retractable sharpie pens, to kids’ blankies… from movies and tv shows to animals,
As an animal lover, I am a big believer in getting as many of your pets from a humane society as you can. Sometimes there are reasons why a family might need a “purebred” animal (allergies to certain breeds, professional showmanship, etc.), but for the most part, I don’t really like when pet stores carry

CONGRATULATIONS to my sister in Illinois, who gave birth to a healthy 8 lb. 15 oz. baby boy today!!! I can’t wait to see pictures of the little darling, and I will post them when I get them (HINT HINT – no, just kidding, I know you have much more important things to do right

I got to do something so cool today – it really made my day. It’s so nice outside, so I was looking for a place to walk with my youngest-for-now, and we decided upon the pet store. Not that we need a specific place to walk, but I always like to have a mission. So
I should probably explain where the title of my blog comes from. It’s actually a title I picked out years ago as I was musing while doing housework one day. I thought, a story about our household should be called, “The Food Chain Gang”. At the time, we had a few more pets than we
Yet another April Fool’s Day surprise awaited us when we got home tonight… seems the newest addition to the family is a little jokester. Our dog Beesley, who we’ve had for almost a month now, is an escape artist. We have a little mud room in the back of the house that leads to the

Announcing a new addition to the family: Beesley! No, we didn’t have the baby early – Beesley is of the canine variety. She is named for a character on what is quite possibly the best tv show ever, The Office (Pam Beesley). Now that the writer’s strike is over, we can once again look forward to
We had an Oscar party last night. It was a lot of fun! We asked the guests to bring a $5 item from home they would have put in a garage sale. Everyone filled out a ballot, and whoever got the most correct guesses (my husband out of sheer luck, can you believe it? He
You know I’m not going to finish that sentence… if you’ve seen Happy Gilmore, you know how it ends, anyway. If not, rent it if you like comedies, it’s a good one. In case you haven’t noticed, I watch a lot of tv. Actually, I don’t really watch it, I just leave it on to
