Good seafood is hard to find in the Hudson Valley. That's why Dutchess County residents loved Bonefish Grill. Many were saddened when the place suddenly closed in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bonefish Grill closed their doors permanently just as New York entered the third phase of reopening.

If you have a pet and need emergency care it can be pretty traumatic, especially if the veterinarian's office that you normally go to isn't open. It usually goes something like this, your pet eats or gets into something, or breaks something and you need pet care quick. So you rush around trying to find a place close by to get help as quickly as possible.

Hey, ya never know. That, of course, is the motto when it comes to the New York Lotto. Something that I never knew? Milton was featured in a pretty popular lotto advertisement. So I want you to rewind back to the year 2002. Yeah, we're going back 20 years so...

Many humans are excited about the upcoming holiday weekend. They're looking forward to BBQs, sitting poolside, and of course, fireworks. However, our 4 legged friends are dreading it.

Using our imaginations can be fun and being able to create something magical is even more fun. That is what hunting for and building fairy houses is all about. Earlier this year I had the chance to walk a trail with my grandson who asked me if I knew where the Fairies lived. Curiously I said no can you show me? And he took me straight to a spot where he and his mom had built a fairy house on a previous walk.
