Pet Monologues

Dog eat dog.
It’s dog eat dog–I’m just waking up
The dove is in the dungeon
And the white-washed hawks pedal hate and call it love
Dog eat Dog
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers

Dog eat Dog
On prime time crime the victim begs
Money is the road to justice
And power walks it on crooked legs
Prime–Time–Crime
Holy hope in the hands of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
And big wig financiers

Where the wealth’s displayed
Thieves and sycophants parade
And where it’s made–
the slaves will be taken
Some are treated well
In these games of buy and sell
And some like poor beast
Are burdened down to breaking

Dog eat dog
It’s dog eat dog, ain’t it Flim Flam man
Dog eat dog, you can lie, cheat, skim, scam
Beat’em any way you can
Dog eat Dog
You’ll do well in this land of
Snakebite evangelists and racketeers
You could get to be
A big wig financier Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always admired the artful salt and pepper mills William Bounds produces. Here are two new ones fit for a pet blog. A leopard. A zebra.

Pep Art Animal Print Gourd Mills
The Pep Art collection of mills is functional art deco art designed by Robert Wilhelm. Inspired by Native American totems and fetishes, these colorful, hand-painted mills also are ergonomic and designed for a lifetime of use. The animal print design is a new variation of our popular Gourd mill. As all mills from William Bounds, the Pep Art collection features a stainless steel shaft and high-output ceramic milling mechanism that may be used either as a pepper mill or salt mill!

We have often heard, and probably experienced, that a human bite can be more infectious than an animal’s bite. Well, what about your pet hamster as a deadly-germ machine? What’s a parent to do?

The American Academy of Pediatrics, just published that pets pose serious health threats to young children.

Here’s the lineup of no-no pets:
• Reptiles. Small turtles were banished from pet stores decades ago because they harbor salmonella, which causes intestinal problems that can be deadly in children. But other reptiles, including iguanas, lizards, and snakes, also carry salmonella that doesn’t sicken them but could land your kid in the hospital.

• Hamsters. These small, furry rodents are not just cute. They’re carriers of salmonella and have sparked outbreaks of lymphocytic choriomeningitis, a virus that causes brain inflammation and can lead to permanent nerve damage.

• Hedgehogs. These adorable nocturnal critters are increasingly popular in the United States, despite the fact that they can spread salmonella, yersinia pseudotuberculosis (which causes appendicitis-like abdominal pain), and rabies. Hedgehogs’ prickly spines also make it more likely that they will transmit fungal skin infection.

• Monkeys and other primates. Macaques spread herpes B virus, which can cause fatal meningitis in humans, and primates spread a host of other nasty germs, including tuberculosis. A more likely risk is injury, since even “tame” primates have seriously injured trained handlers. Read the rest of this entry »

Super Kingdom is a development of new animal habitats within King’s Wood, England. These luxury homes are modeled on the imperious palaces of Stalin, Ceauscescu, and Mussolini and offer nesting and over-winter sites to native and migrant species.






london fieldworks (bruce gilchrist & jo joelson) is an art duo fittingly based in london. their newly commissioned work ’super kingdom’ is based on research of animal hibernation patterns in england’s king’s wood forest. the artists will be presenting a series of site specific show homes in the forest beginning on september 21st. the homes are not only for the exhibit but will also serve as the subject for a video/animation work to be shot over the winter. the show is a direct comment on the human population in the forest’s surrounding region, drawing parallels to the animal kingdom. you can visit super kingdom from september 21 at stour valley arts in kent.

(Top three) Modern Birdhouses’ Case Study Masters Series honors the architectural pioneers who participated in the Case Study Houses Program. The Case Study Houses Program was established in 1945 by John Entenza, the progressive editor and publisher of Arts and Architecture magazine. Entenza commissioned architects to design simple and innovative modern homes for a growing post-war housing market. The resulting homes took full advantage of industrialized building processes and continue to broadly influence modern architecture. Participants included such icons as Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen.

Named after Case Study participants J.R. Davidson, Richard Neutra, and Ralph Rapson — feature simple lines, modern detailing, and durable materials. They are hand-made from sustainably harvested teak that has been certified with the Rainforest Alliance’s SmartWood program (www.smartwood.org). The wood is finished with an oil that protects against water, mildew, and UV rays. The roofs are constructed of sandblasted 1/4″ thick aluminum plate and aluminum dowels. Stainless steel fasteners prevent rust and corrosion. The opening is 1-3/8″ in diameter, which will accomodate common cavity-nesting birds such as chickadees, bluebirds, wrens, and swallows.

The birdhouses ship pre-assembled, except for the mounting bracket, which can be attached with two provided stainless steel screws. A keyhole slot on the back of the mounting bracket allow the birdhouse to be hung on a single screw. The floor is easily removable for cleaning.

‘I now pronounce you dog and dog’ - pets marry on World Animal Day in England, 2007. What will 2008 bring?

A canary, a goldfish, a guinea pig, a handful of cats and more than two dozen dogs received blessings from a Catholic priest in church to mark World Animal Day.

In a ceremony that was sometimes touching and often comical, Rev. Pierre Valkering led his congregation in songs and prayers - frequently interrupted by meowing and yapping from the pews - before the blessing took place.

The event event featured a weddings zone for pets to tie the knot.

“Animals go through life with us, and that can be a great comfort,” he said. A dog barked loudly in seeming approval, to the delight of many children in attendance. “Sometimes they make us laugh, and that’s a blessing too.”

PM Editorial note: no mention of a prenup in this congregation that day.
