Those dreaded stink bugs have returned to the Capital Region and more specifically inside my house. I don't like to kill any bugs. Even with stink bugs, I try and "shoo" them out of the screen windows or sliders but there are times that I am too forceful and squish them. Everyone knows what happens when you kill skink bugs, they STINK!! That's why they are named what they are.

I know my dog Freddie has an adorable mug. If you think that your pet has one too, they could be the face of one of Brown's Brewery's beers. They have teamed up with the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society to raise money and make someone's furry friend "beer famous".
