Love This Bird!

Ok, I admit I'm not one for pet birds. I'd much rather have a dog you can cuddle with on a cold night, ya know? But I found this video of Pebble The Cockatoo and it just got me giggling! Not only is it's laugh absolutely contagious, but you gotta love the way it throws it's head around! Check it out!

Snow Dogs!

Is there anything more fun than watching dogs playing in the snow? I shot this video on Sunday, here's Ella playing with her tennis ball, while Boomer just likes to lay in the snow and watch. What a life! We'd love to see your "pet-in-the-snow" pictures as well, so post 'em on the KICKS Facebook page!

Goodbye Black Friday, Hello Black Thursday!

It's kind of a sad thing, don't you think? With so many retailers starting their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving, Thursday November 27th is being dubbed 'Black Thursday'. The “Boycott Black Thursday” Facebook page is encouraging consumers not to shop on Thanksgiving. The page has 80,000 likes. According to Price Waterhouse Coopers, 49% of people plan to shop, either online or in person, on Thanksgiving morning. Read more about it here. So what do you think? Should businesses start their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving? Will you go shopping on Thanksgiving Day?
