In “Why Vegetarians are Eating Meat,” by Christine Lennon in August’s Food and Wine, we learn that, thanks to Michael Pollan and his ilk, vegetarians are being persuaded to revert to meat-eating. It seems some people are just waiting for…

Rarely do we get the opportunity to discuss the concept of nonhuman animals as property without being the one to raise the topic. But in today’s New York Times, in “Should Most Pet Owners Be Required to Neuter Their Animals?”…
By request of a handful of people who e-mailed me and who had a taste of the real thing on Friday, here’s the recipe for the Coconut Cream Pie I brought to the raw/vegan/macro potluck. The crust is actually a…

When you get a moment, pop on over to Leafshadows and congratulate rift for blogging for 24 hours, every 30 minutes, to benefit Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary. She raised over $500! Read through her entries. My favorite, as far as entertainment…

My friend Lynn, of Healthy Adventure, a travel company specializing in vegan and raw vacations to non-touristy areas, invited me to a potluck last night. I brought a Coconut Creme Pie that was the first dish to disappear. I can’t…

Our photo today features a puncture on Charles’ schnozzle, care of one of the three labs who live behind me who are never walked, and are turned out a handful of times each day to play in a 50′ by…
This morning brings an interesting juxtaposition of dog-related articles in The New York Times: “For ‘Animal Precinct, Reality Subject to Dispute,” by Glenn Collins, and “States Weigh Safety With Dog Owners’ Rights,” by Ian Urbina. Taken in toto, the message…

Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) loves cats and dogs. I won’t deny that. But his presentation of the dogfighting issue, for me, is exactly what’s wrong with animal welfare. Watch his speech and you’ll notice that it appears the reason dogfighting…
