Boom goes Dinomite
Dino is my cat. There are a lot of things I can say about him. He does all of the normal cat things: he makes plenty of biscuits, he turns possessed in the middle of the night, and he’s food-obsessed. I’ve been around cats for a while, and yet, I have never found one quite like Dino.

Chilli Parsons, Renovation Consultant
Zoom, zoom, ZOOM!! The area from the backyard to the bedroom was a racetrack. Rotto and I raced laps at top speed. Our people wagged their fingers at us, "Slow down," they said. "You might hurt yourself."

Deputy Dawg. Top Story - September 2021.
The best ideas so often come from the most random of places. In 2005 I was a succesful engineer, in charge of a team developing systems for a new helicopter.

A Lovable Terrorist
"HOLD IT! HOLD IT! HOLD IT!" I frantically carried my tiny, white puppy with outstretched arms. I ran with her up the stairs, through the house, out the door, down the stairs, and to the grass. I promptly released her and backed away like she was a bomb about to go off. She lifted her tail straight up, and with a shockingly accurate recreation of the Bellagio Fountain, produced a jet of pure liquid poo. "Phew! Made it." I sagged against the railing.
