Yes, we know what you are thinking… bees are not pets!

Dogs help with autistic children and so do dolphins!
Dolphin-assisted therapy could be great news for families who have children living with cerebral palsy, autism, brain damage, ADHD and Down syndrome. Therapy done in water with the aid of dolphins appears to produce dramatic positive results for children with these disabilities, according to research conducted by Dr. David Nathanson Ph. D.
He found that two weeks dolphin-assisted therapy was compared to the effectiveness of six month conventional physical and speech-language therapy!
Mangy pet? Help is at hand…
Mange… the dreaded skin disease that can occur in pets, causes great concern for pet owners. Once a death sentence for many pets, mange is now more easily diagnosed and treated. There are two types of mange which pet owners should know about… the most common type of mange is called demodectic mange, often referred to as read mange while the second type of mange is called sarcoptic mange in dogs or notoedric mange in cats.

You may not be smarter than a fifth-grader but in some cases, your dog may even be as smart as a four year old child!
When getting in a late walk last night, we cam across a beautiful two-month-old Sheltie named Lola. She was bright, sweet and so inquisitive. Her owner told her how smart she was already and as a result of this intelligence, was already being quite manipulative. We could see that despite this and her tender age, she was well trained and behaved. She was just a delight and we look forward to seeing her and her pet-people again soon.
