Think Hard before desperately taking a pet to a Humane Society or shelter.

We all have times when life throws us a real sharp curve as it derails our lives and puts us in situations where difficult decisions are put before us. Divorce, a change of living arrangements or something else you had no expectation of ever happening.

Have you ever wondered why a cat purrs and how. It really seems to be a mystery as to why that little rumble you hear coming from your cat occurs at any given time.

It seems that dogs do not have the problem with traveling in a car
