Hey, dog and cat lovers. My mom emailed me yesterday about a PBS program that she saw on January 2. I found out that it aired again at 4:00 this morning, so I set my alarm to get up and watch it -- I don't TiVo.

I've been meaning to write something like this, but Judi Bryan of Bloomingdale, Illinois, beat me to it. I'll scratch it off my topic list and re-blog hers. No reason to re-invent the wheel.It would be irresponsible for a parent to wait until their children were grown up to have the proverbial "b...
