"Marley & Me" cuts too close to the bone

How many pets are too many?
All the talk of the new Obama family dog has me thinking about pets. They are a fun, fulfilling and important part of so many people's lives and I know I wouldn't feel complete without my fuzzy feline companions.

Humane Milwaukee Pet of the Week: Nala
We can't quite decide who is more in love with Nala: the humans who serve her or Nala herself! If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that Nala knows exactly what she wants and it is nothing short of everything.

Dying for a dog park
Milwaukee's dog population is booming, but the areas for dogs to play, off leash, are few and far between. On any given day at any given time while walking my Beagle, Frutiger through the Riverwest neighborhood I encounter several fenced-in dogs and usually at least one other dog on a leash.
