John Henry Holliday, better known as “Doc,” has been misrepresented and misunderstood for over 100 years. The book, “Doc Holliday: A Family Portrait,” is an attempt by family members to tell a fair and honest story of Holliday.
Dear Readers: A typical cat has 18 toes -- five on each front paw and four on each hind paw. A polydactyl cat has extra toes -- up to nine on each paw!
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? It’s a household helper that is cheap, safe and readily available. Hmmm -- what could I possibly be referring to? Why, yes, it’s baking soda!
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.
