This story flew a little under the radar (O.K., waaaaaaay under the radar, since I can't even find it on the web site), but it looks like the City of Bakersfield may be close to taking a new approach towards dog licensing.
A City Council committee approved a pilot program proposal where a team...

This little girl was wandering around the Kern County building on M Street Tuesday morning. I'd say she's several months old.
Melinda Herrera, a county security guard, found a rope and tied the pup to a newspaper rack. The caramel-colored pooch has water in a bowl, unless she decides to knock it...

Given that every spay/neuter proposal I’ve seen, including the one proposed in Bakersfield, exempts breeders, why are breeders so up in arms? The one thing the proposal does ask is that breeders be licensed. So, given that breeders are not being asked to alter their pets, but are...

I forgot to mention in my previous blog the plans for the sunroom, which is off of the dining room. The sunroom was the favorite room of the house for the pets. My cat enjoyed napping in the sun, and my dog enjoyed chewing his bones on the only carpeting in the house.
But when I start sanding in...

This is actual footage that I took myself of a dog hunting, catching and eating an iguana. It happened at Seven Seas Beach in Puerto Rico (near El Conquistador Hotel if you know the area). Iguanas, not native to Puerto Rico, have escaped as pets and their population is exploding on the island. We...

So, I arrived bright and early last Sunday for the SPCA cat neuter/spay day. My intention for the day was to be there doing one of the easy peasy jobs, like watching the cats in the recovery area as they came out of their anesthesia to make sure all was well before they went home.
Instead, I...

A friend of mine added her dogs and emailed me when she couldn't find mine on the...

O.K., I have this dog. I'm not going to start going on about how he's the greatest thing ever, because he's still young and while he's definitely destined for greatness, right now he hasn't exactly fulfilled that destiny. Not yet, anyway. But we (meaning me and the dude I...
