Dogs play many roles in a household: resident pet, yes, but also friend, family, cuddle buddy, sympathetic listener and, apparently, frequent bedmate. The recent Purina Dog Chow Family Poll found that 93 percent of Canadians say their dog makes their family complete. The poll also revealed some other fun facts about how Canadians see and [...]
UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Here’s a sobering stat: only 45 percent of companion animals admitted into shelters get adopted. Iams Home 4 the Holidays hopes to change that. Now in its 14th year, the campaign aims to not only bring awareness to pet adoption, but also help ensure proper nutrition for homeless pets. During [...]

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Confession: I’m a huge Serena Ryder fan. So I was particularly excited to have been one of the lucky guests at a live sneak preview of her new album, Harmony (EMI Music Canada), held earlier this week at a Toronto club.

Based solely on those introductions it would’ve been easy to have the impression that rabbits are incredibly resourceful, ridiculously cuddly and crazy about chocolate. The reality is that rabbits are fairly high maintenance animals, and unlike hamsters, [...]
When my brother, Robert, and I were in elementary school, we became parents to a pair of hamsters: he named his Hammy; I named mine Charleston. Hammy and Charleston gave us early lessons in responsibility, compassion and selflessness. We made sure they were well fed, received plenty of playtime and had clean cages to live [...]
Last week in this space my colleague Donna Paris wrote a great quiz that posed a series of hard- and not-so-hard hitting questions to perspective dog owners. Me, I’m more of a cat person. As a former member of a feline’s staff cat owner, I know how enriching it is to share a home with [...]
With his instantly recognizable rich baritone, Paul Brandt has enjoyed a string of hit records and awards since his debut album, Calm Before the Storm, was released in 1996. On October 16, Paul released his 11th studio album, Just As I Am, a collection of well-loved gospel songs done with a bluegrass twist. “I cut [...]
I read a stat the other day that said 15 percent of pet owners like to buy costumes for their pets. Does that mean I should expect to see the occasional four-legged witch and warlock among the crowds of two-legged ghosts and goblins come October 31? I have to be honest. I think putting costumes [...]
