First of all, I’m going to recommend Army of Women again. They want one million women to sign up to help with breast cancer research. Recommend it to your friends, and if you’re a woman, sign up!
Next, I’m sure I’ve mentioned Sustainable Dave’s site, 365 Days of Trash. He is a person who puts sustainability [...]

The stinkification of the house
Posted in dogs, tagged dog treats, liver on August 28, 2008 | 3 Comments »
We use a lot of dog treats here so that Buster remembers what he’s supposed to be doing.
This year, A and our friend W bought and raised six head of cattle. To be fair, W did most of the work, because he knows how and because the cattle lived at his place.
These are organic, grass-fed [...]
Mr. Hilarious

We have two Mr. Hilariouses in the house.
B is genuinely funny. He has been since birth, practically. He was making puns just about as soon as he could speak. When he was in preschool, he made jokes all the time. The other kids would be looking blank. “Huh?” And the teachers would be laughing hysterically.
He’s [...]

Have I already mentioned this? I feel it’s a good idea to temper rants about plastic with a little humor.
But first I do want to comment on the excellent question sialias asked about where we recycle the stuff made from recycled plastic. Where indeed? With each successive recycle of plastic the “quality” of [...]
Dang dog

That Buster, we just love him. But he has been rambling off on his own lately. He still won’t go outside by himself, but when you take him out, he’s off like a shot. Last week we found out one reason why: He killed and brought home one of our neighbor’s chickens. Amazingly, A got [...]
Guest dog

We are taking care of Bailey, who belongs to our friends down the road. She’s very large, maybe part chow, part shepherd, who knows what else. Definitely part beefcake. She’s happy and friendly. It’s fun to have another dog in the house. She and Buster have been doing lots of [...]
Silly dog

Buster just hates to go outside by himself. He can be dancing up and down because he has to pee so badly, but he won’t go out alone. If you try to grab his collar he ducks away. In the bedroom he makes an immediate dive under the bed.
Yesterday A and Buster [...]
