We have used both the Laconia and Gilford offices for our animals and have been very pleased with the results. Dr. Brenda Stowe is a cat person (meezers) so my cats are happy. She did a wonderful job of laser surgery on our dog. (Rapid healing and no signs of pain afterwards.) I give both offices thumbs up!

As for teaching dogs to swim . . . some like water and some don't. My German Shepherd mix learned by example. He enjoyed running into the water but never too far. One day at the local boat ramp, another dog was playing in the water. After asking the owner if it was OK, I let Charlie follow the dog into the water. Before you knew it, he was swimming with the big dogs! The ramp made it easy for him to put his feet on solid ground and the gradual slope let him try without getting scared. (The Alton boat ramp is open to dogs . . . just follow the rules and use common sense.)

McDude . . . you NEED a dog! (Hooch and Lady would be proud!) Check out the great dogs at the local shelters. They have some great animals in need of good homes.

June is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month! I already have 4 shelter cats. How about everyone else?
