If Love Alone Could Heal by Judy Parisi, Editor-in-Chief I told my dog Cookie (my copilot, my best friend, my loyal companion) that if love alone could heal her, she’d be running in the park, jumping hoops in agility, and just simply feeling great.

In the past few weeks, only humans have been affected by the new virus, and it's still unknown how the virus will impact other species. |
Think Twice Before Getting a Bunny for Easter
 When we think of Easter, we think of ornate baskets filled with colored eggs, chocolate, marshmallow chicks and, of course, jelly beans. Some people also think of real bunnies and how much fun it would be to get one or perhaps give one as the perfect novelty gift for a child or adult who has everything. Think again.

Economic Crisis Leaves Pets Hungry Too
 The following is a message from the Care2 Petitionsite which needs your help to tell Congress that our animals are part of our family and also need help during these tough economic times. All they're asking is for you to sign the petition. During the global economic crisis people are sacrificing a lot but they are not the only ones. Household pets, often considered to be part of the family, are affected by financial hardship as well. Owners of dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens and even iguanas are finding it increasingly difficult to feed and care for their additional family members.
