PUBLISHER’S NOTE
W
elcome to all creatures great and small, and Happy Holidays! Our winter issue of The Pet Planet Magazine features a determined 12-year-old Monica Plum. Monica is “On a Mission” to equip local fire departments with pet oxygen masks, because you are never too young to make a difference. We are happy to bring you a great story on the ASPCA’s “Dog of the Year.” Pearl, a rescue herself, was trained by The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation and was instrumental in many rescues in Haiti’s earthquake aftermath. With a New Year on the horizon wouldn’t it be better to include a healthier lifestyle to our New Year’s resolutions. To help you along the way we have a great article from The American Heart Association entitled “Let Fido Be Your Personal Trainer.” You won’t want to miss this one! As always, you can count on us to include our readers’ pets’ photos in the “Pet Planet Pix” section. We wish there was enough room for all the great submissions… so if you don’t see your pet’s photo in this edition keep checking our website at www.petplanetmagazine.com to see if your pet is featured on our “Home” page. You will also find our usual slate of goodies such as the tailwagging recipe in “Barks & Nibbles” and our heartwarming “Pet Poetry.” Debra White shares her thoughts in this issue’s “Book Review” Orphans of Katrina. We feature an array of pet related businesses and organizations that help you and your pet get the most out of life, please be sure to patronize their establishments. Tell them we sent you! Feel free to send us treats or discipline to: editor@petplanetmagazine.com Wishing you and yours a safe and happy winter season. May dog bless us, “everyone.” From all of us here at The Pet Planet Magazine.

Dear Editors,
This is a picture of Bandit. He was 2-months-old when he was found roaming on a busy street alone. A friend of mine almost hit him with their car, they thought Bandit was a skunk, but when they got close they saw this scared puppy. They could not keep him so we took Bandit into our home and added him to our family. Everyone loves him and he puts a smile on your face. Due to his loving nature and disposition, he will be starting community service this week at the Willow Valley Retirement Community and making rounds with different residents. I know he will fill their hearts with love. Bandit was a sad story that has a happy ending. We are glad that he was found before he was hurt. Lisa Thomas of Lancaster, PA

If I move, bed to chair you move with me, you're always there . You bark, when there's a stranger you look at me, to sense any danger. Late at night, with all the lights out, you lead the way I love you and I thank you, what else do I need to say?

Pet Food Xpress
illustration by Eric Althin
Pet Food Xpress (PFX) serves the pets of seniors who live in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties
that meet specific criteria. The program is a partnership between the SPCA of Central Florida, Osceola Council on Aging, Seniors First of Orange County, and Meals on Wheels Etc., Seminole County. Currently, we serve 91 needy seniors and their 192 pets. This translates into a monthly distribution of approximately 1,500 lbs of dry pet food, plus canned food and treats when available. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of kibble! Our goal is to help as many seniors as possibleâ&#x20AC;Śto enhance the quality of their lives and keep their pets in homes where they are loved. Good health for people can often be facilitated by the touch of a cold nose or the wag of a furry tail. You can help by donating any brand of 4-10 lb bags of dog and cat food, canned food or treats to the SPCA of Central Florida. Donations can be dropped off at either our Sanford or Orlando locations, 7 days a week. Please visit www.OrlandoPets.Org for address and hours of operation.

A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS 1) My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 2) Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3) Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 4) Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you. 5) Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me. 6) Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 7) Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you. 8) Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old and weak. 9) Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. 10) On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

at work and at home. She’s a real sweetheart, but when we get called to a disaster and it’s ‘show time,’ she gets down to business, always performing at 100%. She has been good to me, and I am good to her. Now we’re going to New York City to accept this award. It doesn’t get any better!

Remmie can be found in the CR room with id #169294. Remmie is waiting for her forever home so she can show you how much love she has to share with you.

#236 is an older male Pit Bull that has been at Second Chance for nearly 3 months. We are hoping there is a rescue group that can relocate him to at least a foster home until a forever home is found for him. We are not set up to hold an animal for this long. The dog is in a 5’ x 10’ cage, and is getting depressed. He deserves a second chance and a real name. PLEASE respond if you can be the one to truly make a difference. Thank you! Gary C. Thomas, Animal Control Officer, Deland Police Department. “Second Chance Rescue Program” #386-740-5862 or thomasg@deland.org

Jamaica is a beautiful black lab with a wonderful sweet spirit. We are estimating her to be about 6-years-old due to her calm nature and tiny bit of white on her chin. Jamaica laid calmly on the exam table as she was given shots and examined, and she even tolerated x-rays, ear cleaning and nail trimming without complaint. This girl gets an A on going to the vet! We placed Jamaica with a couple last spring, however they were unable to keep her due to a change in circumstances and had to bring her back. So, Jamaica is once again looking for her forever home. Could it be with you? Houndhaven, Inc. www.houndhaven.org

By having your dog or cat surgically sterilized, you will do your part to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens and you will enhance your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and quality of life.

Spay and Neuter
Both female dogs and cats benefit from spaying, which eliminates their heat cycles and generally reduces the negative behaviors that may lead to owner frustration and, ultimately, a decision to relinquish the pet to a shelter. Most importantly, early spaying of female dogs and cats helps protect them from serious health problems later in life such as uterine infections and breast cancer. Neutering male dogs and cats reduces the need to breed and can have a calming effect that makes them less inclined to roam and more content to stay at home. Neutering your male pet also improves his health by reducing the risk of prostate disease, testicular cancer and infections.
To find low cost spay or neuter, consult the resource directory in the Pet Planet Pages.
