In areas of the world that doesn’t get snow when winter comes, the Instant Snow steps up to the plate to come to the rescue. I don’t think you can exactly use this to build a snowman (unless you plan to really splurge and buy several tubs of the stuff), but it’s still a [...]

My Shih Tzu is a female but for some reason, she humps my leg. At first, I thought it was a fluke and that I was seeing things. But by the fourth time that I caught her doing it, well, I was mostly certain. It’s a scene that a lot of movies throw in [...]

My playful four month old puppy just loves it when I get her one of those doggie toys that squeak and squeal whenever she pounces on them or when I throw them across the room for her to fetch. The Da Bomb Dog Toy is another one of these audiophile toys, but with a [...]

One subject that I was never good at when I was still in middle school was history. I always had some trouble memorizing the presidents and their order and the stuff that they did while they were in office. If you’ve got a kid with the same woes (and you happen to live in [...]

The Doggie Doo Game is exactly what it sounds like. I’m not sure you can call it a game at all. It’s all about feeding the dog and then making him…do his doo. Roll the dice and take turns feeding the dog biscuits, which are pieces of a Play-dough like compound. Then pump the [...]
