A NOTE FROM RANDAL
******************

Hi Everyone,

Sorry this issue is late, with the hurricane we lost our power for 14 hours
and our telephone service was down for a period of time too. Nevertheless,
as of a few hours ago we are back and operating with all of our resources.

I ran across this joke and wanted to share it with you. This is from Pastor
Tim's Cleanlaugh list.

**********

A little girl was wearing one of those Medical Alert bracelets. Someone
asked her what the bracelet was for. She replied, "I'm allergic to nuts and
eggs."

The person asked, "Are you allergic to cats?"

The girl said, "I don't know. I don't eat cats."

**********

MICROCHIP REUNITES PINES FAMILY WITH DOG EIGHT MONTHS AFTER PET RAN AWAY
By Vicky Agnew

DAVIE? Reunited and it feels so good -- thanks to a tiny piece of
technology.  

Heidi, a 2-year-old schnauzer, escaped from her Pembroke Pines home in
January and has been lost to her original owners since. A day or so after
she bolted, an employee at the Home Depot on U.S. 441 in Hollywood found
Heidi wandering around the parking lot. It's a mystery to all how she got so
far, about 10 miles from home.

THE BIG SCAM--RABIES VACCINATION
by Dr. John Fudens, D.V.M.

Here's a hot topic and an article to make you think about vaccinations you
give your pet. It's interesting to think about why laws are past. In the
case of rabies, it is spread by the bite of an infected animal. The number
of dog or cat bite cases in the U.S. that expose humans to rabies is as rare
as shark attacks. This low incident rate has nothing to do with mandatory
vaccination as the number of cases was low before the mandatory requirement.

EATING STRANGE OBJECTS (SUCH AS FECES)

If your pet has an appetite for such oddities as socks, rocks, or even feces, chances are you've wondered-and worried-about her unusual eating habits. In this case, your worry may be justified: Not only can your possessions be destroyed or damaged, but objects such as clothing and rocks can produce life-threatening blockages in your pet's intestines.

DOES YOUR CAT BITE AND SCRATCH? 

It's always sad to hear of a cat being tossed out because of uncontrollable biting and/or scratching behavior. While this aggressive kind of behavior is painful and frustrating to deal with, try to remember that cats never do anything without a reason.

AFFORDING VETERINARY CARE

What You Can Do If You Are Having Trouble Affording Veterinary Care Many pet
owners, at one point or another, are faced with unexpected veterinary bills.
Veterinary medicine has progressed so far that now pet owners have new, and
often expensive, options for the care of their ailing pets. Although the
cost of veterinary care is actually very reasonable in comparison with the
much higher cost of human health care, an unexpected medical emergency can
present a major financial dilemma for an unprepared pet owner.

GOOD NEWS PET STORY
*******************

NEW RULE WILL ALLOW PET OWNERS TO GAUGE AN AIRLINE'S ANIMAL SAFETY RECORD

After three years of debate and delays, the U.S. Department of
Transportation has granted pet owners a way to gauge commercial airlines'
safety records when it comes to transporting animals. A newly published DOT
rule requires airlines to report any incident in which a pet is lost,
injured, or killed while in their care.
