Gherkin asks: What do you do for your health?

CloBo asks: What’s the best kind of music? What’s bad?

Newie asks: What movies are okay for kids to watch?
Dogs don’t have great eyesight, but we do have fantastic senses of smell. So the idea of looking at a movie screen or a television set, that has no smell to it, is BORING to me! Way more fun to sit on the front step listening and sniffing out the world around me.

There seems to be one lesson about homework that parents forget, and Continue reading

I’ve won fights and lost fights. I’m a good fighter. But I don’t like fighting.
Actually, let me restate that. I love fighting, but not when it’s Continue reading
Becky asks: Are dogs happier than people? Why?
The difference between dogs and people, in this regard, is that we have much smaller brains. We don’t have self-consciousness. No dog has ever created art, no dog has ever laughed at Continue reading
Smokey asks: When and how should teens date?
