Devoted pet owner and now, devoted pet editor, Judi worked in traditional offices, keeping the books and the day-to-day operations organized. Taking her dog to work every day for over a decade never seemed odd. Neither did having an office cat. She knows what it's like to train a new puppy and she's experienced the heartache of losing beloved companions. Retired, she currently lives with her spoiled dog and four chickens (who are, interestingly enough, also spoiled).
Nat Geo’s had some really great shows on lately and the fun for animal lovers continues this Sunday (January 4th) from 8pm to 10pm ET. I’ve actually already previewed an advanced screening copy of In the Womb: Dogs. I haven’t yet watched the complimentary copy of In the Womb: Cats — but I have high expectations because the state-of-the-art visual effects and real-time 4-D ultrasound imagery used in the dog
I know, it’ll be a bit longer before it’s official – but since it’s New Year’s Eve here in the U.S. I’m taking the liberty of posting about the Chinese Zodiac’s Rat and Ox tonight. 
Gone is 2008 (the year of the rat) and 2009 (the year of the ox) is upon us.
I’m not very
One of the pets blogs I frequent, Gandalf and Grayson, posted a story about Blackie and Little Jim today that makes my heart sick. It makes my stomach turn so much so that I nearly couldn’t read the original story in the Valdosta Daily Times.
There were 3 cats in the story, one of which had to be euthanized and two of which are alive but have
Tom over at InventionHome.com sent me a quick email to let me know about Barbara McNew’s new invention – the critter litter box. Evidently Barbara doesn’t like emptying her litter box. Does anyone?
Her invention solves the tedious job of litter box duty (pun intended) by making the entire litter box disposable. Hmmm. Interesting indeed.
My first thought was to shun the idea of yet another
I’d recently written about the Dog Whisperer episode that featured Hemingway & Rigby, the English bulldogs belonging to Ashley Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz (it just aired last night).
There’s another episode coming on tonight at 8pm that also looks intriguing. It’s all about Tobi and Riley. . .
Tobi
Tobi, the Pinner’s dog, is a sheepdog/collie/lab/akita mix (all of which were bred for hunting). Tobi is overly aggressive
Ever watch Cesar Millan walk into someone’s home, hear dog owners explain the issues going on with the family pet and then help the owners take control and become the leader of their pack? I once spent an entire Friday night watching episode after episode during a Dog Whisperer marathon.
Cesar Millan, the renowned dog behavior expert known as the Dog Whisperer, has a
If you love looking at pictures of adorable little kittens and then The Daily Kitten is for you! The first picture was posted on March 29th of this year and while I certainly didn’t count every picture in the archives, I believe Michael when he says they post a new adorable kitten every single day.
I got an email from My Hollywood Pets, offering up these top ten tips for keeping your pet safe, healthy and happy! Enjoy (and thanks, Hollywood Pets)!
Our pets are like parts of our family. No matter what’s going on in our lives, they’re always affectionate and happy to see us. Since they can’t tell us what they need, it’s our job to ensure they have long, happy lives

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.Josh Billings (1818-1885, US Humorist)
This morning I was driving along a busy street, in a fog, sipping strong tea when I saw the geese. I have come to think of geese as very large rats with wings. The outlying Chicagoland area is so infested with these birds that you
Years and years ago, I convinced my mom to take in a little tan Cocker Spaniel puppy that needed a good home. I did so by bringing the 6-month-old cutie right to her house. They fell in love and the rest was history. Last night, the story ended with a trip to the vet and some much needed rest for the weary companion who, though
