Speaking of Pets (Opinion)
Saturdays at 8:59 a.m.
Speaking of Pets with host Mindy Norton is a commentary (opinion piece) for people who care about pets and humane treatment for animals in general, and who want to celebrate that special relationship between us and our animal companions.
-
Live Easter bunnies (baby rabbits) are cute, cuddly, fairly inexpensive - but, they are not toys. They are living, breathing creatures that will need ongoing care for 8-10 years! -
Pollen may make you sneeze, but it might cause a skin irritation in your pet that could be pretty uncomfortable! -
The expression "fighting like dogs and cats" indicates they can't get along, but with some planning and patience, dogs and cats can live peacefullly in the same house! -
What would (or could) our pets do if they had thumbs? That's the idea behind this quirky "holiday"! -
Allowing your pet to have just one litter means even more dogs or cats will not make it out of the animal shelter alive! -
During wintertime, we often feel our skin is very dry. Well, the same is true for our furry housemates! -
-
The Bearded Dragon - or "Beardie" - has become a popular alternative pet because of its easy-going nature, but it requires special care to stay healthy. -
When this special puppy needed even more than rescuing, people around the world came to the rescue! -
If you want to help an outdoor pet withstand the winter temperatures, consider making a shelter for it - from a styrofoam cooler!
