Are your children receiving third- and fourth- degree training in communication skills from their friends and school? How secretive are you about who they are speaking to? Would you like other parents to know how they are doing in school and what they are doing with their friends? A recent study called "Games with Friends: How Kids Communicate" found that, on average most 4-year-olds have spoken to 50 friends by the time they enter pre-school.

She is only about 10 pounds but she is the most surgicallyrief dog I have ever owned. I bought her prime meat-on-a-stick cause she love the blowing of the dust. That is about it. We began to notice skin lesions over her face and body. I quickly learned that she was suffering from caninedermatitis. A strange term for a strange looking dog. (which I have decided is a better term than Dermatitis and willbee to describe the dog). The dog was given a topical ointmentwhich helped to relieve the symptoms . After a week of being medicated the condition had gone away, but she was still having a hard time seeing and feeling and hearing. Then I decided to look online for answers. I spent a couple of days frantically searching for answers. I talked to my vet and to my dog's vet, but they both told me the same thing. It appeared tha...
