  • And just how old is your pet?

    A friend shared this: http://shine.yahoo.com/pets/old-pet-correctly-calculate-dog-cats-age-162200633.html Please click on the link and take a look. It is interesting to note that large breeds and small breeds of dogs age at a different rate. Makes sense, doesn’t it? So, Bobby should be 80 and Cow, Bunny and Pole, 40! And Indy is pushing 32. Wow…I had better stop…

  • Welcome to Bunny’s New Garden

    Today, Bunny’s Garden got “repaired”…. The Philippine grass we had planted when we first moved in gradually died. I think it was due to the place being too shady, the poor water drainage from the soil as well as Cow and Bobby’s urine! Anyway, our landscaper said Pearl Grass would be the only type that…
