Ohh. I think sea lions may have solved the men taking up too much space on the subway problem.

You're so right about the reputation attracting people who shouldn't own any dog at all. We adopted a Staffy from a shelter (my first dog in over 20 years!) and she's delightful, but a lot of work. Nothing challenging; she loves to please, but the dog needs a lot of exercise and she needs at least a few minutes of…

It's extremely unfortunate that this dog reached that point of aggressiveness.

When we say "new bachelorette contestants" we really mean "discarded contestants from 'Dream Phone'"

I have two White female friends (one a friend from college, another a work friend) both married to Black men. Their realization of what it means to be associated with Black men and Black people in the US of A has led them both to awakenings like KK's. Years into their relationships they are still jarred when they…

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

I'm happy for you, but I'm also sure that there are plenty of shiba inu rescues out there, where it wasn't absolutely necessary to buy a dog from a breeder.

I don't know, I just feel like it's possible for all those things (allergies, shedding, personality, etc.) to be found in a rescue dog as much as a purebred dog. Maybe it' s a little more work, but I still don't think the only option ends up being to get a bred dog.

No, not really. I understand having children who are biologically yours is a pretty biologically ingrained sort of desire for a lot of people. Not so much with arbitrary "pure bred" dogs.

Considering how many dogs are put down every day because they can't find homes, and looking at my little pup who was less than 24 hours from being put down when we adopted him, I can't help but harshly judge people who breed dogs and those who buy them. It just doesn't make sense.

The F doesn't go to Greenpoint.

So, here's the thing- an invite is just that, an invitation to attend. It's not a mandate and there's a reason why there's a "no" box on the RSVP. I had plenty of people decline for our wedding because it was too expensive to get there, or their budget was allocated to travel for a holiday a few weeks later. I have…

If you don't want to go, DON'T GO. What's worse: inviting someone to celebrate an important event with you, spending thousands of dollars to throw a nice party for everyone who comes? Or being bitter and snarky because someone inconveniently invited you to attend?

You know who else looks good with a puppy?

I love that little rambunctious pup that started out on the sofa and then jumped down and began chewing on the little black pup's butt!

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

Meh. I prefer the trend of hiding Nicholas Cage's face all over the house.

Stray dogs do not go "tearing into visitors." Anyone who has done a bit of traveling knows that stray dogs are a common site in nearly every urban center in the world and for the most part it is a peaceful coexistence if not always the most sanitary. Street dogs are scavengers and cannot survive without a tolerance if…

We generally do dinner at a nice-ish place, and it's the one time of year he buys me flowers.

Yes, old married folks Valentine's Day all the way!
