So, like, what's with your blog name?

"Of Cabbages and Kings" is a reference to my favorite Lewis Carroll poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter."

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

It is a reference to the notion that a blog, even one with a specific focus, should cover a number of viewpoints and explore as many divirse aspects of a topic as possible.  It reflects my personal philosophy towards blogging, and it is a hint of what you can expect to see here - personal stories about my pets, yes, but guest blogs, product reviews, reviews and recommendations for stores, training tips, pets in the news,  events for petlovers, and more.

Mostly, though, it is just because I like the phrase, and that's the way I roll.

For the curious and the nerdy, check out the poem in it's entirety here:
