Of course, all dog (and cat) owners know the answer to that question! Dogs are thrilled to learn that they are the good boy (or girl), and it never gets old. Cats, of course, have always known that they are the good boy/girl and will walk away acting unimpressed; but, really, even they appreciate the… Continue reading who’s a good boy? …

pet escape!
A large gathering of pillow pets (and their catnip toy friends!) escaped the confines of our deck and are now roaming the fabulous Cambridge Artists Cooperative! Stop by next time you’re in Harvard Square and see them hanging out in the window and on both floors of the gallery. Well, maybe it wasn’t really an… Continue reading pet escape!
thinking inside the box …
Everyone talks about thinking outside the box. But sometimes, what really stretches you is thinking inside that box.

weekly woot!
This week’s woot goes out to contemporary needlepoint artist Emily Peacock. With the notable exception of my mother Dora, needlepoint seems to be a neglected art in the States. It shouldn’t be. Needlepoint is quiet work; perfect as an evening “stress-reducer” or “take-along” project wherever you may travel. Emily hails from the UK and… Continue reading weekly woot!
hypoallergenic cats or portable pets
Inspired by my daughter’s sighs about missing her cat when she went off to college (and a friend with cat allergies) I have stuffed our cat! Well, not our actual cat … but given my wont to see the solution to all problems in terms of fabric, I printed a picture of our cat on… Continue reading hypoallergenic cats or portable pets
