Dr. Pete had several topics for us today. First we talked about how fast things--like rubber bones--go through a dog. From there we went to oral cancer in cats, and then to brushing dogs' teeth, using doggiedent. Then it was new cancer treatments for animals utilizing their immune system, and parallel treatments for human cancers. Finally, it was zoonotic diseases, like rabies.

Movie picks this week were The Baltimorons and Twinless.

Charley Keutman had two ideas for fun things to do this weekend. One was to visit Vallejo Street Dahlias in Watsonville. You'll need to get tickets in advance. Another is to attend the Monterey Bay Area Cactus and Succulent Society's upcoming show at the Watsonville Portuguese hall. Rosemary and Bill thought adding a trip to the county fair would round out the day nicely.
