A new Washington Lottery commercial shows a hang glider taking to the air with first a penguin strapped to his chest, and then a chicken. The tagline of the touching ad: "Every bird should get to fly." But what about cats, dogs and other pets? Well, they have the option of flying commercial.

Your pup hasn't really been pulling his weight around the house, has
he? He doesn't help pay the bills, and he never pitches in with the
cooking or cleaning. So how about you give him a taste of what it's
like to earn a living? Bring him to the office with you for Take Your Dog to Work Day June 20.

One of the bonuses of camping versus hiking with dogs is that you can
bring more necessities and creature comforts for the pooches, like
their beds, which will keep them comfy for the car ride and once you've
set up camp. Below are some of the locally available products you might
want to take with you.

I always get nervous before a big sale -- like I should've trained harder, stretched more, recruited more friends to help fend off crazed shoppers.

Being a city chicken's not so bad. You don't have to deal with overcrowding (only three chickens are allowed at most Seattle homes) or the pecking order of a farm (just the occasional Labrador or child to contend with), and most likely your hip urban owners (they may refer to themselves as your parents) are either too granola or too chicken (no offense) to kill and eat you.

Mother's Day isn't all about flowers and cards, and certainly mom could use a break from perfume and bubble bath. So try tempting her sweet tooth this May 11 with a variety of offerings from Seattle chocolatiers.

Fashion, philanthropy and a chance to get into Justin Timberlake's jeans. If that sounds like a dreamy combination, then it's time to dump your winter wear, shimmy into something springlike (even if the weather doesn't cooperate) and head to the second annual Thaw fashion show, May 1 in Sodo.

We're a food-conscious group here in Seattle. We raise chickens in our
backyards so that we have access to fresh eggs and mash up carrots to
make our own baby food. So it makes sense that we would be just as
mindful of the food that we feed to our furry friends

The benefits of yoga are well documented -- better flexibility and
balance, a sense of calm and well-being, stronger, leaner limbs. But
for those of us who are not perfectly proportioned, the struggle to
