There are signs that the economy is picking up after a few tough years. However the improvement is far from universal. There are still people who are having a rough go of it and if they have a pet it is even more difficult. You can buy Coke with food stamps but not pet food, a questionable call. Now a former Wall Street stockbroker has started a service called "Pet Food Stamps" to help ease the burden.

Matt Herkimer — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:12:05 +0000

I know our two cats Fenway and Parker (yes, we're Red Sox fans) love boxes. Anytime we bring home something that comes in a box it's just a matter of minutes before one or the other climbs in-or at least tries to-and makes themselves comfortable. Maybe they'll just lie on it or scratch at it or chew it but whatever it is about a box it is simply irresistible. Apparently the same goes for big cats as in really big cats. Take a look.

Daily Distraction — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:00:28 +0000

Matt Herkimer — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:48:57 +0000
