If you're planning on keeping a tidier home this year, get started right in the linen closet. Behind my closed doors, I've got enough old blankets, sheets and towels to do wondrous things . . . I don't actually do.

Realizing I don't need eight spare towels to dry off a car that I never wash myself, as well as not hosting enough guests back-to-back to require four sets of aerobed bedding, I laundered my spare linens and brought them to my local humane society. Act like me and contact your local shelters to see which items you can let go to animals in need.

Sure, this photo of Elvis is from Halloween, but I can't resist making a hot dog reference when there is a dog in a hot dog costume. I just can't help it.

Congrats to Elvis and littlemsbliss for being chosen as our Pet Pic of the Day! Don't forget to submit your favorite photos to our Pet Pics group — you may see your furry pals on the pages of PetSugar!

It's like a patchwork puppy face! Since I admittedly go a bit crazy for all things Boston, I'm gaga over this cute clip. Nevermind that I don't have a purse I'd snap it on (and believe less-is-more when it comes to my keys), I think this would make a nice gift and a new way for a pet parent to show off a lil one no matter where they snap. After all, these chains come with an attached, magnified photo frame for your pal's face and the large size might just help you not misplace your keys all the time. Well, here's to hoping anyway!

I'm saddened to announce that one of the precious pets of the current first family has passed away – this cute cat died Sunday at the Executive Mansion at the age of 18. The lil girl had many names; she was originally called "India" after the former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra (nicknamed "El Indio"), before the then 9-year-old Barbara Bush renamed her "Willie" when she joined their family. When the twins went off to college in 2000, they left their cat at home in the White House with President and Mrs. Bush where she's lived ever since. Guess they're also fans of multiple pet names for precious pals, as this pet was also commonly called "Kitty" by the first family!
