It's not unusual to see someone leave a pet in their car while visiting a store. But this convenience doesn't always end well for the animal, or the bystander who tries to save them from overheating.
Okay, so they're not really my pets. They're my kids' pets and my wife's pet. Yesterday I put up a poll question asking how many pets before you enter Looneyville, you know, crazy catlady status for example.
I was stuck at a light behind this car over the weekend. Hey, at least she admits it. Most don't. There has to be a tipping point when just one more pet becomes a problem. I'm talking traditional pets like cats and dogs that have run of the house, not caged pets or pets in tanks.
Almost 10 years ago, my wife rescued a little mixed breed dog that she named Alfie. The term 'rescue' has all but replaced 'adopt' in dog jargon and is usually overused. In this case, Alfie really was a rescued dog.
More people are giving their dogs and cats pet food branded as natural, and while there are plenty of people who support the movement toward healthier foods, there are some who remain skeptical.
