Fish are Friends, Not Food
November 11th, 2008 — by Valerie Mae Diola

In my last article, I talked about my dogs. Now, I’ll be sharing a story about my cat named Homer.

“Fish are friends, not food.” I always remember this line from the movie Finding Nemo. This is the motto of the shark named Bruce in the movie. Now, I’m wondering if Homer follows this motto, too.

Want A Pet? Things to consider before bringing a pet home
May 2nd, 2008 — by Lee Ann

Most kids want a pet, whether it is a cute kitten or an adorable puppy, a parakeet or a goldfish. Before dashing out to the nearest pet store or animal shelter, though, it is wise to think about some of the realities of pet ownership.

The first thing to remember is that the pet will be another member of the family. Don’t adopt a dog to be a watchdog, tied to a chain in the backyard or a kitten to be a come-and-go
