Its amazing what Ive seen. Ive seen people that have not talked, talk. I see people who cant move their hands raise their hands and pet the dog," Christine Fogle of Golden Girls Pet Therapy said. "People that are scared and dying, theyre calm. My dogs would get in bed and lay with them for hours if they need to, it just make a whole big difference for the people. "
2008-07-20 Fur and feathers as pet insurers vie to keep customers Money The Observer
Bill Montgomery, who lives in London, has an eight year old Maltese dog, Coco. For the past two years, she has been insured through Animal FriendsInsurance (AFI), a not-for-profit pet insurance intermediary company based in Wiltshire. But earlier this month, he, along with all other AFI policyholders, received correspondence detailing a rift between AFI and its underwriter, EandL Insurance.
Meanwhile, confused policyholders say they just want to know that their pets are properly covered. Mr Montgomery says: I feel like Ive been caught in the crossfire between the two of them - I just want to make sure Coco will be insured. I chose AFI because their premiums were low and they offered a good amount of cover. But this makes both of them (EandL and AFI) look bad.
The claws are out between two insurance firms, leaving many owners unsure if their animals still have protection. Huma Qureshi reports - Insurance Money Money
2008-07-19 Pets corner: Why is my Jack Russell chewing soil-Regulars, Saturday Magazine-The Independent
You need to go to the vets and discuss if there is a more suitable diet or some vitamins that will enhance your Jack Russells digestive system. As you know, JRs are bundles of fun and they need lots of exercise and entertainment. If we dont give them entertainment, they will go and find it for themselves. These can include great terrier games such as chasing squirrels, wading into duck ponds, eating mud and digging holes and ndash; which they were originally bred for, amongst other things. This is quite a big part of a dogs life. They love to dig. As long as your dog is healthy and its not giving her diarrhea or making her sick, dont worry and let her have the enjoyment.
My 13-year-old Jack Russell cross sometimes digs up and chews shallow soil when we are out for walks - she never does this in the garden at home. She has a healthy appetite. Im increasingly concerned about this behaviour. Should I be adding something to her food Harriet Craven, via email

Perhaps the most basic rule to remember when dealing with a newborn baby and pets in the same household is cleanliness, she said. Cat and dog dander can become a problem if not maintained through proper cleaning of your pets and your house.
