My wife and I recently adopted a puppy from a rescue group. He is a lot of fun, but I had forgotten how challenging the first few weeks are with housetraining. I have given thousands of people advice on how to do it - now it is my turn. His name is Oscar, and he is 4 months old.

CT Department of Agriculture has found Avian Influenza in 3 back yard flocks of chickens. As you know some people have gotten the infection - usually from dairy cows. If you find a dead bird outside, do not handle it without gloves on. The disease has also been found in cats and can be a serious disease in them. As far as I know, no cases in felines in our state have been reported yet.
Here is a link to information from the state of Connecticut.

It's that time of year when fleas are very active. They want a warm house for the winter. Have you been giving your flea prevention regularly? We have several options to help. Prevention is much better than dealing with an infestation in your house.

On Sunday I had to make the decision to euthanize Finn my beloved Labrador. It is very hard for any of us to make that decision. Finn had a great life. He ran, he swam, he ate anything he could, and he was a therapy dog at Yale Hospital for 4+ years. I will miss him terribly.
