Obama: Good For The U.S., Bad For The Bahamas

As I sat watching the U.S. election night coverage I was torn. "Who do you want to win, mommy?", my eight year-old daughter asked me. For almost every black Bahamian that's a straight-forward question.

Foods that are dangerous for dogs

Foods that are dangerous for dogs
As a profession today, the majority of vets are against feeding table food to dogs, however, I fall within the minority and don't have a strong objection against table food as long as it is healthy table food.
Most people feed table food that are leftovers from a meal (fats, bones, carbohydrates, eg. rice, pasta, etc.)? That can often cause obesity, upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea.?

Prior to his ninth grade year in high school, no one would have described Kimal Brown as academically bright.? Actually, he readily admits to doing just enough so he wouldn't suffer the degradation of having to attend summer school.? The impetus that got him on the path to "buckle up" in school was not his love of education, but a deep-rooted desire to "get out of hell."

Indeed, they were out in droves--at least 60 dog owners and dog lovers were out with their four-legged partners to raise money for the spay and neutering programs offered by Baark! at its second annual Strut Your Mutt Walk-a-thon.
