  • Allergic Reaction to Perfume

    Every day it seems that my allergies get worse. The other day I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to a co-workers perfume.

  • Pig in Boots

    This little piggy won’t be going to market. At least that’s what the farmer says. Little Cinders, a saddleback pig, has a phobia. She’s afraid of dirt (mysophobia). Go figure. A pig that can’t play in the mud. The fine folks at the Northern England farm fit her with a pair of little rubber boots…
