Pepe Le Pew…
In New Hampshire, one of the biggest pest problems is skunks. They tend to roam around, digging up gardens and harassing people and pets. So, I have dealt with my fair share of the little buggers.
In the cities, the skunks are definitely worse. My dad lives in one of the cities of New Hampshire, and at his house, the skunks are more obvious and populous than anywhere else I've been. They just wander into yards, eating grubs and trash, while occasionally spraying things.
Our biggest problem is the fact that they love to live under our shed. The skunks would build...
Crested Gecko Care
I have now had Gonzo (my New Caledonian Crested Gecko) for more than a year. I've found caring for him is a little tricky (sometimes!), so I've made a care sheet for new owners of Crested Geckos.
Listed below are some of what I consider important elements of care for Crested Geckos:
- Housing: Because Crested Geckos are so versatile and hardy, they can be kept in a number of different types of enclosures. First, a single adult Crestie needs a tank of at least twenty gallons. It is better if the tank is longer than tall, as Cresties are arboreal. If you...

To Neuter Or Not To Neuter?
Come thy little doggy, so I can spayeth thee.
Did you know that more than three million cats and dogs are euthanized every year? That's right, three million a year! This can be prevented by spaying or neutering your cat or dog to prevent her from having offspring that may roam the street or other life circumstances that will cause her to be euthanized. Also, spaying or neutering will prevent the animal from developing prostate, testicular, or ovarian cancer.
Now, you may say that the animal will suffer from discomfort. Well, that's true, the animal is having his/her testicles and scrotum or ovaries...

A few minutes ago, literally, I was watching a deer ramble through my backyard. In New Hampshire, the deer is on the pinnacle of our very interesting, and diverse, wildlife.
Our yard has a variety of features that attract the local animal populace. First off, we have a good-sized yard (one or more acres). We live along a river, so the back end of our yard meets the river. The other feature is that we have a mini-farm of fifteen chickens (to read about their latest antics/cuteness, read Spring Is Here) that tend to attract many unwanted guests.
We have many guests due...
