Going Around and Around
There are many interesting parts to my role at PeKu. One of those is that I absorb a wide array of information daily, as I review our sites. Of course, with twenty-three diverse publications, there are some that are of more interest to me than others. Thankfully, with a capable team of writers and editors, I am able to take a quick glance at the topics which I find to be less entertaining or enthralling.
As I have mentioned previously, I am not interested in the world of gaming. I also find NASCAR to be a monotonous sport.Â

The Value of Bargain Shopping
With teens that are in high school, the rush of back to school shopping is different. When they were little, it was almost certain that they would outgrow clothing. If they didn't outgrow their outfits, they definitely were well-worn from recess, art class, etc. Now, they are able to keep clothing items for greater periods of time, as long as they don't have growth spurts or the style didn't go out of fashion.
Thus, for the start of this school year, our 15 year old was fairly well-stocked for the start of the year. We did purchase one

Labor Day
Today is Labor Day in the US, a day to celebrate the American workforce. As it is a holiday and my husband and I have snuck away for a long weekend trip, I had considered making today's post a simple one. Maybe just "Happy Labor Day!" and a picture. However, I decided that for this holiday it wasn't the right choice.

Meet the Specialist- Kathy Gibson
This October marks one year since Kathy Gibson started serving as a regular contributor to Feathers Fins and Fur. As the co-owner of Custom Canine Teaching in Vancouver, she provides our readers with knowledge and insight to help with a wide variety of dog issues and questions. I was able to speak with Kathy to learn more about her.
Without further ado, here is Kathy Gibson.
MPK: You cover so many topics in Ask the Dog Teacher. Do you have a favorite area of dog teaching?
KG: I really enjoy all of it. I enjoy people and dogs. It

A Balancing Act
Our house has central air conditioning. Living in New England, we need it for a decent portion of the summer, especially as we have a multi-floor house. The first floor may be comfortable, but the second and third floors can become quite uncomfortable.
Keeping the house the correct temperature is a matter of balance. First, I am perpetually cold. As I type this, my toes are approximately ice cube temperature, although the rest of me is warmer. So, for me, the higher temperatures and humidity aren't bothersome, but for the rest of my family I know it becomes
