Pet Airway, an airline totally dedicated to flying animals (no humans), is launching soon. I swear!

Whether you're 16lbs or 611lbs, you can travel on their planes - in the cabins.

Happy St. Patty's Day, everybody!

Thanks to all of you hopeless romantics who submitted entries for our "Tales of Love" contest sponsored by Pup & Co Boutique! We officially have a winner (drum roll please)...

Tinkerbell has won a $50 gift certificate from Pup & Co Boutique. Yay!

I love to do it. It gets me in touch with wolf brothers and sisters.

So here are some of my fav howling vids for you to enjoy:

So, I was perusing the Interwebs this afternoon, and I found a little blog entitled "How To Tell If Your Cat Is Trying To Kill You."

Some highlights:
Bringing dead animals - this isn't a gift, it's a warning.
