I’m just watching the news tonight and I’m seeing the president of the RSPCA saying that pet owners who don’t walk their dogs should/will be thrown in jail.
As one bemused dog lover said, who’s going to walk the dog then?
Maybe the best gift you can give a busy or incapacitated dog owner would be to [...]
Slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails; a pretty gruesome mix of what little boys are supposedly made of. (Though done with a bit of garlic butter, snails are just delicious)
In my experience boys are curious, adventurous and eager to receive gifts that they can use up, do “stuff” with and/or tinker with to their [...]

Getting it right is pretty important and the pressure is on, cause anything you buy will be on public display from the get go.
What torturer dreamed up that crazy ritual of [...]
Most people coming up to Christmas will be giving a cool gift for girlfriend in more ways than one. I know many of my readers are in the Northern Hemisphere and Christmas is coming in a flurry of snow and sleet.
Spare a thought for me here in sweltering Australia, just back from the beach, thinking [...]
Unfortunately, if anyone gave me thank you wine gift baskets I would not be very happy.

Let’s face it. Any form of positive attention whatsoever is a treat for a dog.
But a dog treat gift basket is a wonderful idea.
Dog treats for dog gift baskets can range from cuddly and squeaky toys for pups to items for rough and tumble games to wear your pooch out and have them sleep soundly [...]
Yes, it is a lovely idea to make a Christmas cookie gift basket for kids.
Related to this, I fully endorse the idea of teaching kids the magic of cookery and the necessity of cleaning up your own messes and the joys of eating the fruits of your own labors and of making presents to give [...]
Today in the paper I read about a real surprise gift for girlfriend that I thought, ouch, that’s a bit of a risk.
A 19 year old boy proposed to his 18 year old girlfriend at her graduation in front of many, many people and of course, she said “Yes”.
I found myself thinking, hey that’s a [...]
