Great Therapy Dogs 2007-01-20 07:59:00 Dr. Samuel Lumpkin, a retired physician, and his wife, Sandra, a speech pathologist, don't bring stethoscopes or blood pressure wraps when they make rounds at Great
er Baltimore Medical Center's Acute Care for the Elderly Unit and the nearby Gilchrist Center for Hospice Care.Instead the White Hall couple bring their two beloved dogs, Gunner, a perky little 4-year-old poodle and Tucket, a big, laid-back 11-year-old Labrador retriever.Gunner and Tucket are therapy dogs trained and certified three years ago through a program called the Delta Society's Pet Partners. The therapy they bring to patients recovering from, or in some cases, succumbing to serious illnesses isn't measured in diastolic pressure or white blood cell counts. It's measured in smiles, laughter, caresses and moments of warmth and affection that are often a welcome respite from intense physical and emotional pain. more.... Read more:Therapy

Pamela Anderson and her pooches 2007-01-27 07:10:00 Pamela Anderson
is every guy's fantasy. She is beautiful, voluptuous, and drop-dead sexy.

However, millions of pet owners are allergic to their furry purry friends. But you can overcome pet allergies by taking proper care of your pets.

Hilary Swank And Her Pets 2007-02-01 07:23:00 I think everyone has praised this million dollar hollywood actress for her outstanding role as Maggie Fitzgerald in the film "Million Dollar Baby". Her full name is Hilary
Ann Swank
and she is born on July 30, 1974. She has won the Oscar twice: in 1999 for Boys Don't Cry and in 2004 for the much talked about Million Dollar Baby. Her Hollywood film career began with a small part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and then a major part in The Next Karate Kid (1994). Swank came from humble beginnings and described her younger self as an"outsider" who only enjoyed reading a book or watching a movie, and thought of getting involved with a character. This later inspired her to become an actress. She came to the limelight last year when she filed a divorce from her actor-husband Chad Lowe. But again they had to rethink about their break up since, they faced a peculiar problem. Both Hilary and Lowe had a deep love for their pets and couldnot understand how to divide the pets amongst themselv Read more:Hilary Swank
The Glass-Wing Butterfly 2007-02-02 08:02:00
The Glass
-wing Butterfly
... lives in South America. A butterfly with transparent wings is rare and beautiful.
As delicate as finely blown glass, the presence of this rare tropical gem is used by rain forest ecologists as an indicationof high habitat quality and its demise alerts them of ecological change.
Rivaling the refined beauty of a stained glass window, the translucent wings of the Glass-wing Butterfly shimmer in thesunlight like polished panes of turquoise, orange, green, and red.
All things beautiful do not have to be full of color to be noticed; in life that which is unnoticed has the most power.
Enjoy.......these are really something. .

The innovative shoe has been designed to fit over the feet of Little Blue penguins to keep them dry and free from infection after suffering problems when they moved to a new exhibit.Panda cubs, all born in 2006, play at the China Wolong Giant Panda Research Center, southwest China's Sichuan province, November, 2006A keeper plays with a finless porpoise, a cousin of the baiji dolphin and one of five in Wuhan Baji Aquarium.

Feline Diabetes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 My neighbour Mrs. Smith came running to our home last Sunday to inform that her beloved cat Tiger is behaving quite unusually. He was drinking a lot of water (quite unusual for him) and the litter box is getting flooded with urine now and then. My Mom hardly knew what to do. But I was determined to find an answer to this strange act. The internet is just a keystroke away and Oh gosh! what have I found out! Mrs. Smith's cat Tiger is suffering from Diabetes
mellitus. I immediately decided to share this information with you all since many of us may not know about this dreadful disease. Diabetes mellitus, or"sugar" diabetes, is a common disorder in cats and dogs, caused because of the failure of the pancreas gland to produce enough insulin. But, the good news is that cat diabetes is a treatable, manageable condition. The most common signs which a cat owner will first notice is the increased thirst and increased urination among the cats. Polyuria, polydipsia, increased appetite, weight lo Read more:Feline
Garden Hazards For Dogs! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A quick stroll down the lawn and garden section of your local nursery may be a soothing experience for you and your guests with beautiful flowers and greenery. However, it can also pose a hidden threat to your pets, if you don't stay informed about what could be harmful to your pets.I came across a shocking news and it goes like this... an owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from a local store to use in their garden. She loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso, decided to taste the mulch since it smelled good. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, the lady woke up and took Calypso out for her regular morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly. Actually,this product is HIGHLY toxic for dogs.Cocoa Mulch: This material used in planter beds is made from cocoa bean hulls, which contain potentia Read more:Garden

My Dog In Love 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Since Friday, I am seeing a change in Jack's behaviour. It was my Mom who found Jack peeping from the window now and then. He seemed to be lost in his own world, not eating properly ( inspite of giving his favorite sausages to eat), not playing or fighting with my other pets nor is in a mood to watch cartoon network. We decided to find out the reason of his absurdity and my sister kept an eye on him the whole day. She told me that he is running towards the gate all the time and is trying to see something.
