*	The Family Dog: Solving Sable-ration Anxiety My history as a dog owner is about the same as my record as a parent. I love my increasingly-bad-tempered Lhasa Apso, Sable, and I provide what I consider to be a high level of good care. But there are times when my wife and I have to be away for a while, and I feel a great sense of freedom as I hand over my doggie to a boarding kennel. A week or two without a dog is just what every family needs to rediscover the joys of having a dog around.
*	Cocker Spaniel 101 I had intended to do my research. I really had. I talked to my vet and to my friends about what breeds they had owned and liked. This trip to the pet store was only meant to give me an idea of what was out there. I didn't intend to come home with a dog -- and certainly not one from a pet store . . . My plan crumbled. There, behind the glass, was the cutest ball of red and white fluff with big brown eyes and long floppy ears that I had ever seen.
*	Our Foes, The Fleas One of the most worthy foes we face in veterinary medicine is the lowly flea. This insect has driven people and their pets crazy for centuries. Maybe we're finally gaining the upper hand, though, with some of the developments over the last 15 to 20 years. A review in the April, 1999 Compendium of Continuing Education, reminds us of some of the highlights of this campaign.

When disaster strikes, people rely on many of the state, federal and private humanitarian groups and agencies to provide the needed food, shelter, and medical/rescue assistance needed. But what about the pets?

Now all roving Rovers can travel in style, thanks to Dog's Bow Wow™ Luggage -- a suitcase for dogs on the go.
*	Chocolate For The Soul They say chicken soup heals what's wrong with you. Me, I prefer chocolate. We spend a lot of time complaining about what's wrong with our sport. Once in a while, something happens that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. An Irish friend, Coralee Freeney, related the following story about her experience at a dog show:
*	Avo-Active Care Chews If you're taking care of a dog with arthritis or hip dysplasia, you're probably already supplementing with glucosamine. It's something the body produces, although we produce less as we age. It's natural, and it works by supplying the building blocks of synovial fluid -- the lubricant that keeps joints flexible.
*	Arthritis Solution for Dogs About a decade ago, many of us Baby Boomers decided to get a dog. Now we're deep in the middle of middle age, and our dogs are reaching elderly status. That means that arthritis is setting in, and our dogs are in need of extra veterinary attention.
