Girl's best friend.
Readers, kiwitwist needs our help! She's dealing with an aggressive dog next door: Hey Everyone, I could really use some advice. We recently moved to a house with a big piece of property. When we moved in, we knew there was a dog next door but never really saw it (only heard him bark a few times). There is a wood privacy fence between our yard and our neighbour's (with the dog). I don't usually Read more
There's no better hair of the dog after a long night out than brunch filled with bottomless mimosas. But if you've grown weary of that mundane combination of orange juice and bubbly, switch up your drinking routine with another Champagne cocktail that's twice as exciting to sip, but just about as easy to prepare. The Jalisco Flower is a combination of ruby red grapefruit juice and sparkling wine Read more
As the parent of a 12-year-old Parson Russell Terrier, I've been fortunate to watch Lily age gracefully into her twilight years while maintaining much of her spunk and agility. But each day I encounter clear signals that she's achieved senior citizen status: the onset of cataracts makes her timid around now-blurry strangers, and bathroom breaks are a frequent necessity (or so our carpet has Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Ah, the wish list. It made a lovely debut when we were little, often addressed to a certain Mr. Claus. It had a good run for a few years, but retired itself in adulthood as the stuff of kids and dreams (with the exception of weddings and babies, when they take on the adult guise of “registry”).

I've never felt scared running alone in the woods near my house because I follow these tips for solo trail running, but recently an aggressive dog went after my sweet little goldendoodle, and it left us pretty shaken up. Even though my loud cursing scared the dog away, I immediately called the police, who responded, "Get yourself some pepper spray." After reading the comments left on a FitSugar Read more
If you've ever dealt with a pup with leash aggression, I know this issue tugs at you. Even the most wiggly, happily wagging tail dog can turn into a whole different animal when approached by another pet on leash. While it's easy to say — directed at the dog, but loud enough for the other person to hear — "No, we can't say 'hi' right now" — there are a few nonverbal signals you can give, or Read more
If you're an emotional eater, a bad breakup can send you into an eating frenzy. To avoid gaining weight after ending it with your S.O., keep these essential tips in mind. Take up a sport to work out your anger feelings: Dodgeball and kickball are great for aggression; swimming and yoga can be perfect if you need time to reflect or mourn the end of your relationship; and, fast-paced cardio Read more
The worst part about the dog days of Summer is the unrelenting heat; the best, in my opinion, are the incredibly sweet and plump figs. Regardless of what particular variety tickles your fancy (I love Kadota, Calimyrna, and Black Mission) when figs are in season, they're guaranteed to be tender, pleasantly jammy, and unlike other fruits, never aggressively tart. Want to go beyond eating them out Read more
