Fish Aquarium Tips

When setting up a new fish aquarium, NEVER EVER setup the tank and purchase the fish in the same day. The tank needs time to cycle. By this, I mean it is important that the chemicals have time to balance and bacteria need to be present in order to maintain... Read the story »

Jessica the Pet Hippo

In Africa, hippos are BAD NEWS. Hippopotami have killed more humans than lions, crocodiles, or any other mammals (although the tiny mosquito continues to be the most prolific killer). But Jessica will show you that not all hippos are aggressive. In fact, you will probably fall in love with the... Read the story »

Dog Obedience Training Review

I've been a dog fan since I got my first one, a miniature poodle named Frisky, back in 1966. Man, that's a long time ago. Somewhere along the line, I switched to being a fan of the miniature schnauzer, a fine German breed who is renowned for its fearlessness (sometimes... Read the story »

Make Your Own Dog Toys

I've always loved dogs. I grew up with a poodle that mom brought home when I was six years old. When I was 30, we obtained a pair of miniature schnauzers that we raised to old age. Two years ago, w obtained a second pair of schnauzers. Even though I... Read the story »

Adopt-A-Schnauzer

I began a lifelong love affair with miniature schnauzers back in 1984. A good friend of mine in my place of residence at that time, Amarillo, Texas, was a breeder. His dogs and I hit it off. The cocky little terriers were just the right mix of whiz, vinegar, courage,... Read the story »

Get Tanked Aquariums

One of these days, when I'm not so stinking busy being a father, running a business, working for the other guy, doing volunteer work, and playing a little golf when I get the chance, I'm going to set up a marine aquarium. I've had salt tanks in the past. I... Read the story »

Cats in Sinks

It took me along time to warm up to cats. Cats are sneaky. They don't come when you call them. And the only thing that keeps them from eating you is the size difference. However, back in 2001, my daughter brought home a kitten that she found in a trash... Read the story »

The Surrealist

Today's FamilyFirst site may well make no sense to you at all. If so, it has accomplished its mission. Salvador Dali may well have snorted at it as a pretender. But it tries, and that's all that is important. Withering rocks disdain unsanctimonious sunsets. Sorry, am I not making sense?... Read the story »

Stuff on My Cat

Cats. They drive you nuts. They are the most smug, self-righteous, full-of-themselves creatures on earth. They care about one thing only: looking out for number one. We find those qualities repulsive in humans, yet strangely appealing in cats. Like I say, they drive you nuts. However, I think we could... Read the story »

Spay-USA

Yesterday's column was about pest, specifically their health. Today, thanks to popular demand (from my two schnauzers who are wrestling all over my office while I write this column), we feature another pet-oriented site. It's called Spay-USA.
