September 2004:
- Your Aging Cat or Dog
As cats and dogs get older, they're prone to many of the same ailments that
people may experience with aging. Unfortunately, instead of helping their
companions grow old gracefully, some people replace their aging pets as they
would an older car.

- Should You Have Your Dog Neutered?
Dog neutering is a routine veterinary operation, but the decision is not
always routine. Some people are concerned that having their dog neutered
reduces his quality of life. In reality, unless you're a professional dog
breeder, you're giving your dog far more than you're taking from him when
you have him neutered.

August 2004:
- When You're Allergic to Animals
Itchy, puffy, watery, red eyes. A stuffy or runny nose. Sneezing. A scratchy
or sore throat. Itchy skin. Hives. Shortness of breath.
Allergic reactions to family pets can develop in childhood or in adulthood,
even after years of living with animals.

- Games Animals Play
Kids call it Cops and Robbers. To cats and dogs, the premise of the game is
the same, but the players are different. While rabbits see things a little
differently, they can get into the fun too.

July 2004:
- Protecting Your Pet from Summer Heat
He's panting excessively. He's restless and agitated, or maybe
lethargic. He salivates, vomits, staggers, and loses coordination. If you're
there to see it, you may observe that his eyes are glazed, and his gums and
tongue are reddish or purple. In just a short time, he may lose
consciousness.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are preventable when you know how to
take care of animals in hot weather. If you see these symptoms, you need to
act fast to save the animal's life.

- Children and Pets: Choosing a Pet for a Child
We remember...Blackie. Or Brandy. Or Buddy. Animals don't live forever,
but the imprint of their bonds with children does. Adult help in selecting
pets and guiding children in their care can help nourish these bonds.
