Canine senility undiagnosed in many pets

I have written before here about my elderly beagle, Li’l Bit, and her health problems when I finally found a vet to remove a large tumor which other vets had refused to remove due to her age.  Readers of this blog know that I treat my pets as family members because to me, that’s exactly [...]

For some reason, a number of legitimate comments got caught up in the spam queue over the last week, and I just now realized it. I’m not sure why that happened, since it usually doesn’t, but if you made a comment and it didn’t appear, it should be there now. I apologize for [...]

Psychosis or mind control?

Update on Benjamin Sargent case

I previously wrote about the death of little five-month-old Benjamin Sargent on this blog at http://elfninosmom.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/parents-of-the-year-again/

According to news reports, little Benjamin’s diaper [...]

Who is Caylee’s father?

Previously, I placed a moratorium on people saying on this blog that Lee Anthony was Caylee’s father. Of course, the DNA has proven that I was right to do that, because he is not the father. That theory is just as stupid now as it ever was.

Mom’s Guilty Pleasures: Rock of Love Bus
