It’s the season of mistletoe,†‬gingerbread,†‬candy canes†… ‬and endless hours gift-wrappingâ€! ‬No matter what I get for my dear friends and family during the holidays,†‬my favorite part is wrapping the actual gift.†‬I’m no Martha Stewart,†‬but I do like to put a different spin on the packaging.

Is your dog drinking responsibly? Does he take sips of your beer? Do you find tell-tale nose or tongue prints on your drink glass when you aren’t looking? Then it might be time to pick up a six-pack of Bowser Beer (www.3BusyDogs.com) for the holidays! Made from beef and chicken broth with pure malt barley, <... >
I’m always on the lookout for a new fun toy, sparkly bauble, or delicious meal … for my dog! And in my pursuit for the better things in life, I often forget that there are simple pleasures in NY to be thankful for, things that a lot of pet-owners in other cities don’t enjoy as <... >
I’ll never forget the day we brought him home. We took about…oh…a thousand pictures, friends and family came over to meet the cutie patootie and I could barely contain myself from smothering him with kisses and cuddles. Our baby’s name is Flanders, after the beloved character from The Simpsons. Seems an odd name for a <... >
Some pet parents leave the radio on when they leave the house. Others turn on the TV, with some unusual channel choices – for example the Golf Channel for the hushed reassuring tones of the presenters.

The elections are a few weeks away. Don’t forget to vote and have your say. It’s a privilege to be able to cast your opinion. Your pet may not be able to raise a paw, or nibble away a hanging chad, but she can certainly have fun with the political process too. Your pooch can <... >
Fall is the time for fun frolicking, like apple picking, pumpkin carving and dressing up for Halloween. Here are some autumn events to cure your end-of-summer blues: Friends Of First Run (www.dogster.org) will host the 18th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Parade on October 25th — it’s touted to be the largest non-competitive gathering of dog <... >
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the only ones more fabulous than Manhattan’s well-heeled ladies are their equally well-pampered pooches, those doggies prancing in custom-made designer threads, laden with jewel-encrusted collars. From finding gourmet snacks and nutritionally customized meals, buying cashmere sweaters and ordering doggy birthday baskets, pet owners go out of their way to <... >
I may not have Jessica Alba’s lips, Nicole Kidman’s height, or Sarah Jessica Parker’s shoe collection. But I can share something in common with them – the biOrb™ aquarium! (www.biOrbusa.com) Along with a host of other celebrities like Jake Gyllenhall and James Gandolfini, this seems to be the compact aquarium to the stars. With a <... >
Our dog Jed, as a little puppy, would gulp his food. We even put a can of veggies in the middle of his dish, but it didn’t faze him. We had to find a solution and by the time he was 6 months old, we developed the Eat Slower™ Dog Dish. Jed went from an <... >
