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).
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.

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

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.
