This precious girl needs her new forever family! Could that be you?

Elisabeth is a 20 pound, one year-old wire-haired terrier mix who makes everyone smile. Her spiky hair gives her the look of a punk rocker, but she’s anything but snarly. She has a happy, even temperament and is delicate-boned and spry. Although she’s curious about what’s going on around her, she walks well on a leash and has the potential to have some very good manners with a little training. She also loves kids and gets along well with dogs!

For more information about how to make sweet Elisabeth the newest member of your family, call the Alachua County Humane Society at 352-373-5855.

Have a great (and green) Halloween!

Barbie’s had a number of different looks over the years, but her latest reincarnation is drawing the ire of some parents.

Tokidoki Barbie, marketed as a collector’s item for $50, sports tattoos on her neck and a pink bob. She also comes with a black skull-and-bones tee shirt, leopard leggings and sky-high sparkly silver shoes, and is the result of Barbie’s collaboration with Simone Legno of the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand Tokidoki, the Huffington Post reported.

Fashion’s latest man bags are strapless

While the rest of the world struggles to come to terms with the ‘man bag’, the male fashion pack has moved on.

No more shoulder bags or cross-body messenger styles for men in vogue.  Oh no, for them there’s a new kid on the fashion block — the man clutch.

Just because it’s funny.  We didn’t make it, we’re just enjoying it.

Report: Reality TV Encourages “Mean Girl” Behavior In Teens

Parents beware: Tween and teen-aged girls who watch lots of reality TV “accept and expect a higher level of drama, aggression, and bullying in their own lives, and measure their worth primarily by their physical appearance,” according to a national survey conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute for a report Real To Me: Girls And Reality TV. Reality TV watchers are more likely than non-watchers to believe that “gossiping is a normal part of a relationship between girls” (78% vs 54%), that “girls often have to compete for a guy’s attention” (74% vs 63%), and that girls are happier when they have a boyfriend or significant other (49% vs 28%). Reality TV watchers also focus more on their physical appearance (72% vs 42%). ”Girls today are bombarded with media — reality TV and otherwise — that more frequently portrays girls and women in competition with one another rather than in support or collaboration,” says Andrea Bastiani Archibald, Developmental Psychologist, Girl Scouts of the USA. ”This perpetuates a ‘mean-girl’ stereotype and normalizes this behavior among girls. We don’t want girls to avoid reality TV, but want them, along with their parents, to know what they are getting into when they watch it.”
