PAWSitive Pet Massage and Concierge will hold an open house at the Plymouth Cultural Center on Saturday from 1-4 p.m.
Canton resident Jennifer Williams was relaxing one evening a few years ago while petting her dog Wednesday when she felt something unusual - a bump. The lump turned out to be cancer, and after talking with a groomer on ways to help Wednesday, Jennifer began to look into pet massage therapy classes, which in turn led to the founding of PAWSitive Pet Massage and Concierge last October. "The benefits (of pet massage) are for flexibility or if a dog is experiencing any type of anxiety issues," Williams said. "It releases toxins out of the body and increases blood flow. Anything that it does for a human, it does the exact same thing for an animal." Wednesday, now 12-years-old, has arthritis and bone spurs in her front legs. "She couldn't …

La Casa Plymouth Manager Christina Vega demonstrates the process for beginners.
Canton resident Christine Vega has worked at La Casa Plymouth since it first opened under the name La Casa de la Habana in 2000 - so she's fairly used to answering questions for first-time smokers. "I always steer them towards something mild, and usually, nothing too long," she said. "You don't want them smoking this giant cigar. And then, usually, I just give them some pointers, like 'make sure you eat first - very important' because sometimes that might effect your stomach if you're a newbie and not used to it." Vega said just make sure you have good company, then sit back and enjoy it. Just make you have a lighter handy, a cutter handy, and you're good to go," she said. "Really, it's a very simple hobby."

On the first day of spring, the weather forecast calls for snow, snow and more snow.
It's the first day of spring, and Woody, Michigan's Official Groundhog, who resides at the Howell Conference & Nature Center, has faced the fact that this year's seasonal prediction was incorrect. According to the National Weather Service, the forecast for Wednesday night is more snow showers and a low around 19 degrees. Thursday's forecast is a 50 percent of snow showers, cloudy, with a high near 32 degrees. Not your average spring weather. Like all female woodchuck prognosticators, Woody is not afraid to admit when she's wrong. And although she correctly picked the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl, she is avoiding March Madness in its entirety. Some observers recalled Woody's hesitation that morning, when she exited her house, …

David Arafat from Belly Busters in Plymouth shows how to make an Irish Car Bomb drink.
The Irish Car Bomb, a popular adult drink at bars around St. Patrick's Day, can easily be made at home with these easy tips from David Arafat from Belly Busters in Plymouth. The drink, which combines a stout beer, whiskey and Irish creme, resembles a chocolate milkshake when properly mixed. To get started, Arafat says, you'll need Guinness or a comparable stout beer, Jameson or a comparable whiskey and Bailey's or a comparable Irish creme. You'll also need a pint glass and a shot glass. Check the video for the step-by-step instructions, and be sure to drink it at once, or else the dairy in the Irish creme will start to curdle in the cup. As always, drink responsibly and legally.
