Dear Readers: Spring’s the time to freshen up, and that includes your skin! Gentle exfoliation is a great way to remove winter’s dull cast on the complexion. And what do I love to use?

Dear Readers: Mary H.’s Zoe, a beautiful brown boxer. Zoe’s veterinarian recommended putting petroleum jelly on her dry, crusty nose. Unfortunately, Zoe licks it off quickly. Giving her a treat immediately after applying it buys a little time for absorption, Mary says.
Dear Heloise: I have Type 1 diabetes, and I also have a service dog, a golden retriever named Gillespie, who is trained to detect when my blood sugar drops. He can sense the change due to the smell of my breath when I exhale, and he’s trained to nudge me with his nose and even alert someone else to my condition. He’s even trained to bring me my medications and my cellphone, too! If he didn’t help me out and alert me, I could faint and fall.

Of course, this means the study of the ones which made law enforcement and established it on a dangerous plain. The life of Jim Courtright was not as it has been told for years and written.
