Just today, a friend told me how her dad once brought a tropical fish home from Hawaii for her brother -- in a plastic bag in his lap throughout a five-hour flight. That's one way to transport live fish over a long distance, I guess. After all, you can't just throw the fish in the water and expect it to find its own way.
A less demanding way is the U.S. Postal Service. That's right, you can mail live fish. If you order fish from a breeder outside your region, that's probably how they'll get to you. If you ever

Christmas Gifts for Cat Lovers — And What Not to Give
by Jane Wangersky December 14th, 2010 | Cats
If you're thinking of giving a cat-centered Christmas present to a cat-centered friend, what are your best bets? And what's not such a good idea? I'll tackle these questions on behalf of all the other cat people.

Gifts from the Pet Store — For Humans
by Jane Wangersky December 7th, 2009 | Cats, Dogs
Fans of The Simpsons may remember the Christmas special where Homer, who hasn’t gotten the bonus he was counting on, picks out extra cheap gifts for his family, including a chew toy for baby Maggie. “Says it’s for dogs, but she can’t read!”
Now, I’m not suggesting you take Homer Simpson as your role model, but if you’re stressed out from holiday shopping, step into a pet supply store for a few minutes.
