That, together with the now defunct Tricorn building were fond memories of a place I once called home – Portsmouth. I sure [...]

Frustration

Question: Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. One of my bands, The Fighting Brothers McCarthy, are playing tomorrow night. We’re pretty pumped. The last time we did a show at the Carousel Lounge, it went great. This time, we’re playing with another great band (Moonlight Towers) with whom we are [...]

shedding

Question: Lynne, get a shedding blade. This thing has made my life SO much easier. I brush them with it every day and it gets a lot more fur out than a pin brush or a slicker.  They also love the way it feels. It wouldn’t hurt to also give her some flaxseed oil or [...]

Question: >Hi all,  water therapy, but funds are tight right now. If there is a source nearby for water therapy, perhaps they would be interested in a barter deal.  To have a business such as this, they would most likely be open-minded.   Or, a swimming pool can be very beneficial if the dog is [...]

Question: >(Evelyn Usher) >It seems to be easily digested. Hope you are right about Scrappy. >– I don’t know if I’m right or not about Scrappy these days. All I know is I have a dog that started out with what I thought was a blown knee; had surgery; tossed in an additional diagnosis of [...]
