Welcome to the part of our web site that's just for kids. There is something here for just about all ages. If you have a suggestion or comment, be sure to let us know. It's your web site!

Did you know that all over the world, kids have the same concerns? A new film maker traveled to many different countries and talked to kids of all ages, and came home with 700 hours of film and some great news. The top two concerns of children everywhere are the environment and animal rights. Kids, give yourself a big hand for being so caring and aware! For more information about these topics, go to PETA for Kids and Greenpeace.

 Pet Tips

Have You Hugged Your Dog Today?
"Did you know that as many as 60 percent of all adult dogs are overweight or likely to get that way?

Every extra pound on a dog is proportionally greater than an extra pound on a human. For example, an extra five pounds on a dog that should ideally weigh 17 pounds is like adding 50 pounds to a person who should weigh 170. That's nearly 30 percent above their ideal weights!

Overweight dogs may be a higher risk for heart, respiratory and blood sugar level problems, skeletal stress and gastrointestinal disorders. Also, each pound of fat contains approximately 17 extra miles of blood vessels which blood must flow, an unnecessary burden for the heart."

Gretchen agrees with Doris. Trim and healthy dogs are happy dogs! I certainly try to watch my girlish figure!
