Living with MS...Dog In Hand

There was a great story on KFYR-TV about a woman with MS and her dog helper/friend.

A Drake woman is tackling Multiple Sclerosis, or M-S, with a furry friend. Sandy Sherlock is a music teacher at the Towner school, and she`s using a service dog named Eddie to help her balance while walking. She says she`s utilizing her gift of public speaking to raise awareness about M-S, how service dogs are a viable option, and as a way to raise funds to support Eddie and fight M-S.

Hannah in GF

This is Hannah. She's Circle of Friends Humane Society's "Featured Adoptable Pet."

Domestic Short Hair - orange and white
Size: Medium

Age: Young

Gender: Female

Notes: Here's a cutie available for adoption! Hannah is a very playful kitty. She loves spending time playing with interactive cat toys. Hannah is 6 months to 1 year old. ~ Cat Tips ~ Playtime for Cats: Provide your cat with an interesting indoor environment. Cats love to play and will appreciate simple and inexpensive toys. Ping-Pong balls and paper bags can provide hours of fun. A comfortable perch by a window can become your cat's very own entertainment and relaxation center. Toys are very important for cats. They not only fight boredom, they also give cats a chance to express their prey-chasing drives. If you're the one moving the toy while your cat chases after it, playtime can be a bonding experience for both of you.
