  2. Pet Corner: Is your pet at risk for bladder stones?

  3. Coroner: Hand-washing is the 'in' thing to do

    My wife showed me an advertisement recently that she thought might be a great reminder for people that relates to personal health and well-being. I couldn’t agree more and decided to pass it along through this column. After all, anything that might contribute to keeping each of us and our families healthy is vitally important to all of us. The ad is a picture of a hand with no fewer than 12 little germ cartoons holding on to the fingers and palm of the hand. Each germ has its own name and it tells what it will do to you if it gets into your body. As cute as these germs are in cartoon form, the message is just how easy it is to become infected in everyday activity by the things we touch, and how much damage these little germs can account for. The most important part of the message, though, is that they all can be prevented for the most part by the simple action of washing our hands. Frequent hand-washing is the key, with emphasis placed on doing so after using the bathroom and just before eating.

  4. Pet Corner: Don't forget pets when making New Year's resolutions

    A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or reforming of a habit. The most common resolutions include losing weight, exercising more, eating better, drinking alcohol less and quitting smoking. Consequently, the only one capable of making and following through with these types of commitments is the individual himself. No one could effectively impose such commitments upon someone else.
