Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all the critters in your family! During Thanksgiving we generally focus on our human family, but let us not forget to give thanks to our cats and dogs who brighten up our days and give us their unconditional love. Although I personally don't share my house with any canines, there are quite a few dogs that come over to visit. They are always very attentive when we're...

Known as Zhu Zhu Pets, the artificial rodents have some advantages over the real thing. They do not stink, chew electric wires, or run around their cages making noise at night. In fact, they do not need cages. Children...

What ever happened to The Critters?

My view by Silvio Canto, Jr. (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009

The Critters were high school kids from New Jersey. Like many kids, they played rock in their garage and dreamed of a recording contract. Eventually, their persistence was rewarded. They got a contract and recorded a couple of the nicest pop tunes ever. The group had a wonderful sound. I can't believe that they didn't have more hits! What happened to The Critters? How did they fade so fast? Here is...

Lead phase red-backed salamander...
