Spot the doggie robot
Boston Dynamics has announced that Spot, their quadruped robot, is officially on the market. As part of an early adopter program, some robots were delivered to a few customers last month on a lease basis. The question being posed to customers is "what do you think Spot can do for you that’s...

Doomsday predictions that went wrong
It can be very difficult not to be frightened or depressed by all the horrifying predictions that barrage us in the media – imminent world famine, soaring temperatures, worldwide drought, monthly hurricanes, major cities disappearing, a new Ice Age, the evils of cow farts, ice caps melting... ...
The first one is a classic and my favorite! Hahaha! Just say "NO" to Old Yeller.

Wordless Wednesday -- Watching "Old Yeller"
I knew what happened in Old Yeller so never read the book or watched the movie. I did use the line "I take it you've never read Old Yeller" in my first book, The Returns when a character referenced him when wanting to be a hero dog. Haha!

Saving the innocent from the trauma of Old Yeller
[Re-posted from April 16. 2013 because I just saw a list of must-read childhood books and one was Old Yeller]. My friend Diana is a wonderful mother. She is very happy to be a stay-at-home-mom to her sons, now 6 and 7. She cooks her family nutritious meals every day. She volunteers as a room...
That is hilarious! Our mini schnauzer tried to bite a judge once. Not a good idea. Haha!

Show dog Chihuahua to judge: “Don’t touch my junk, you pervert”
Long before humans started complaining about TSA officials groping them, show dogs had to put up with it all the time. But one little guy showed his displeasure to this indignity to his masculinity a few years ago. This is my favorite Westminster moment. It was the judging of the toy class a...

Angels don’t always have halos and wings
Sometimes they have tattoos, biceps and ride motorcycles. Sometimes they love animals so much that they devote much of their lives to saving countless animals. Sometimes they even set up a 501c3 nonprofit to fight for animal welfare. This is Rescue Ink, a volunteer organization of bikers...
I love Billy Joel and that is one of my favorite songs. I always find it better to laugh and walk away than to punch someone for being clueless. LOL!

Giving stand up comedy in LA with an Old English Sheepdog
Have you ever been driving along, and suddenly a song will come on the radio that transports you through space and time so clearly and thoroughly that you almost miss your exit? This is one of mine. Doing a stand-up comedy routine is a popular dream. Mine started several years ago with a song by...
What an amazing rescue story. I hope the teenager doesn't get any more dogs. What a loser.

Puppy hit by train is now an advocate for abused dogs
When Trooper's 17-year-old owner abandoned him, he was left to wander around his Ohio town unprotected. Tragically he was hit by a train, but miraculously he survived his horrific injuries. He lost both hind legs, an eye and part of his tail. It is thought that one of the reasons he surviv...
I agree with all your awards again this month. How could anyone dump a puppy on the side of a road like trash? Shame, shame, shame.

Pakistani regional minister Shaukat Yousafzai was speaking with journalists live on Facebook when a “cat filter” was turned on, giving him (and others) on-screen whiskers, a nose and pointy ears. It seems a member of his social media team had accidentally activated the filter. As he addressed...

Chief Mouser and civil servant Larry the Cat has proved once again that he rules the roost around 10 Downing Street. We last wrote about Larry the Cat when he was terrorizing the dogs who lived at 11 Downing Street. They had to be locked away for their own protection. During President Trump’s ...

It's all fun and games until the cats don't obey the laws of nature
The dog is having a good time. The tail never stops wagging even though the cats don't get that they are supposed to run away from dogs. The dog does everything to get them to play or run, but they remain grouchy sentries with no sense of humor. This video has all the drama of Wild Kingdo...
There are no words to help ease your pain, Yvonne but know that you are in my heart today. Growing up as mother and daughter is never easy but you captured the love, mystery, misunderstandings and acceptance that most of us have endured. My mom turned 87 this spring and I know how lucky I am to still be able to pick up the phone and call her. Your mother has to be so proud of the incredible woman you have become. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
