BUNNY EARS
Dear Heloise: A foolproof way for shoelaces to not come untied: I crisscross the laces, one over the other like normal, and make the first “bunny ear.” Then, instead of wrapping the other lace around the ear once, I wrap it twice and then make the second “ear,” pull the lace through, and fluff out the bow.
TOOL TIME
Dear Heloise: I hardly ever buy new hand tools, yard tools, etc. I look for them at garage and estate sales. The prices are wonderful, and the quality is usually much better than today’s merchandise. -- Robin R. in Texas
PET PAL
Dear Readers: Meet Mr. Kitty. He’s one of our favorite Pet Pals. He’s getting a drink from the bathtub spigot! Owner Sharon says he probably learned this feat from his days on the street before she rescued him.
VEGETARIAN DOG?
Dear Heloise: My dog is part vegetarian, I think! He loves to eat raw -- and cooked, for that matter -- broccoli, pea pods, carrots and cauliflower! -- Harriet P. in New York
