What’s Going on in Your Dog’s Brain?
Contrary to popular opinion, and with all due respect to Gary Larson (creator of the iconic cartoon, in which whatever we say is heard as blah-blah-blah by our dogs), dogs actually do understand us.

March 21, 2016
Throughout the history of the planet, most species have evolved in a predictable manner.

Kanye, Kats and Kontroversy
October 27, 2014
Let’s be clear, right off the bat: This is neither a post about cats nor about Kanye.
