British luxury company, Very First To is selling the world’s most expensive chocolate bunny is a whopping $49,000, made of Tanzanian cocoa, contains more calories than it costs in dollars, (548,000 calories). It’s a foot high and weighs 11 pounds, which is about the same as the average house cat, so this bad boy probably won't go down in one sitting, unless you're sharing with your closest couple dozen of friends... Oh, and it features a pair of diamond solitaires for eyes, valued at $37,000. So, really, you’re only getting $12,000 dollars worth of chocolate, kind of a rip off,…
With the upcoming holiday, I planned to talk about manners, but then, this weekend’s storms reminded me how quickly a 75 pound fluffy badass can turn into a timid, fearful Chicken Little with a crack of thunder. When you consider their hearing is 4 times ours and their sense of smell is 40 times ours, not only can they hear a storm in the distance, they can smell changes in the air; they’re more sensitive to barometric pressure changes and static electricity. So the thunder that is so loud it makes us wince, well, it’s four times as much to…
This is the time of year when I like to lighten just about everything up, booze included, and you can't beat peaches for a perfectly fresh option for a spring cocktail. The fresh peach-tini can be served as a treat on its own or as a dessert drink. It's also great for Easter brunch. It utilizes fresh peach purée, peach vodka and of course, peach schnapps, (GOTTA have the schnapps)! The peach is a stone fruit, which might conjure images of biting into a rock, but, it just means fruit with a pit. It's botanical Latin name is prunus persica, which…

Welcome Home Wednesday Double Feature: Carter & Kristoff!
Written by Jaci Fox
We have another double feature this week, because the shelter is STILL completely full - in fact so full, they have reduced adoption fees for dogs 5 months and older through to April 16th! We have two more fantastic pups, each needing to be welcomed into their very own forever homes. First, is Carter, an active 3 year old boxer mix, he is playful and FUN! He arrived to the shelter injured and timid, but, with some TLC, medical attention to his injured leg and some training, (yes, he's a graduate!) he’s feeling like his best self and is now…

Welcome Home Wednesday Double Feature; Scooby Doo & She Hulk!
Written by Jaci Fox
Every Wednesday is a Welcome Home Wednesday, and because the shelter is literally completely FULL, we have a double feature, two fantastic pups, each who need to be welcomed into their forever homes. First is Scooby Doo, a mastiff shepherd mix who loves kids of all ages, would make an awesome family dog, a chewie aficionado, and yes, he kinda does resemble THE Scooby Doo. We also have She-Hulk, a terrier pittie mix who is a true people pup, a toy defluff queen, who would be great as an only fur kid so she can have her people all to…
Dark Water premieres tonight at the Allen Theater for the Cleveland International Film Festival and this is truly a Cleveland film. Local cast and crew, as well as the owner of One Eye Wilde, local film maker Nonie Shiverick, the director is a Clevelander. Dark Water is a short about mental health, described by CIFF as "a woman suffering from severe panic attacks experiences vivid sensations of drowning that become increasingly, terrifyingly real." Scene Magazine said it's one of six films to definitely catch, and I kinda think they're right.
Here's what's going on around town: You can still catch Spring Discovery Days at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium Local film, Dark Water makes it's premiere tonight at The Allen Theater at 7:25 for the Cleveland International Film Festival at Playhouse Square. If you're into Bingo, but want your favorite adult beverage as well, you're in luck Boozy Bingo at The Winchester tomorrow night from 7-9.

Unleashed: The Basics (That Could Save Your Dog's Life)
Written by Jaci Fox
It's pretty frustrating when our pups don’t listen, but, with a little consistent positive reinforcement, you can have an obedience champ. Instead of “having to put the dog away,” how about being proud of his manners when company comes over, or instead of always leaving him behind when when you head out, you can bring Fido to BrewDog, knowing he won’t be an embarrassment on their patio? The three most basic commands, are not only the easiest to teach, they're the key to better behavior. We don’t lock kids up, we teach them how to behave around others, so why…
Fall Out Boy appeared on Fallon last night, considering they're really into ridiculous fun, and I don't think Jimmy Fallon does anything that isn't fun, it's no surprise that a collaboration of hilarious nonsense would ensue, and it did... with an all clucking performance of Sugar We're Going Down from Cluck Cluck Boy. Check out the performance at the end of The Tonight Show segment Audience Suggestion Box in the video below.

That's What She Drank: The Elderflower Bourbon Cocktail
Written by Jaci Fox
It is SPRING! Okay, well, it's early spring, and our cocktail reflects that, because yes, it’s warmer, but not all THAT much warmer yet. But, this week's cocktail is a perfect meeting of the end of winter moving to into spring. I’m talking about the Elderflower Bourbon cocktail. The bourbon still warms us, and the Elderflower adds a lightened up, fresh step towards sunnier days. It’s super easy to make and just so freakin good! The Elderflower Tree has long been a sign of spring, from the British Isles and throughout Europe where it is a native species, with sacred…

Welcome Home Wednesday's Pet of the Week: Kristoff
Written by Jaci Fox
The guy we want you to meet this week is Kristoff!! This 3 year old small to medium (45 pounds) sized terrier/pittie mix is a total pro when it comes to athletics and play, and he's not just the playgroup rockstar, he is THE zoomie champion. At first, he had to learn how to be around other pups, but has since learned how to be social and is now great with other dogs, but he wouldn’t mind being an only fur child either. A home with older kids is also recommended, because he’s still a bit of a puppy. He…
