New England oysters are better than Chesapeake. But Chesapeake blue crabs are unbeatable.

Well I am from Annapolis Maryland. I went to High school in Baltimore, but I grew up in Annapolis. It was a cute town. We lived on a waterfront community. It was good, even though I don't really fit the preppy boater kind of style.

Cincinnati has one of the most diverse animal collections in the world, with more than 500 species represented. They also have a really good insect exhibit.

The Dalmatian breed of dog has many primitive characteristics.

I used to breed poodles. I liked them because they were fluffy and so cute - and honestly, they make a lot of money when you sell them!

I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where my parents raised German shepherds - we had about 30 dogs at any given time.

There's a puppy store near where I live. They know me by name in there because I go so often.
