What to Do If Your Dog Eats Chocolate

Last week I took my cat to the vet for his routine yearly checkup. I thought I might find some inspiration for an article from the trip. I did, but it turns out it’s not about my cat at all. While I was gone with my cat, I forgot to close the door to the pantry.

Dogs need foods from many of the same food groups humans do: Meats/proteins like ground beef, turkey, or chicken. Fruits … Continue reading →

Kathleen has just written her autobiography Send Yourself Roses and in it, she says Nicolas was a real diva when the two filmed Peggy Sue Got Married in 1986. The film was directed by Nicolas’ real life uncle, Francis Ford Coppola. In case you didn’t know, Nicolas’ birth name was Nicholas Kim Coppola. He changed his last name to Cage so he wouldn’t get any special treatment for being a Coppola. He took the last name of Cage after comic book character … Continue reading →
