Paintings by Michael Flaherty

This week I stumbled upon an art exhibit at the Pembroke Library-it had a variety of unique paintings in a style I have never seen before, and to my excitement I found some animal paintings-some pigs and some dogs-they were cute! If you like art and you’d like to view the assortment of work-stop by the Pembroke Library Gallery hours are Mon –Thurs. 10-8, Fri & Sat. 10-5 and Sunday 12-4 (when room not in program use.)

From the library: “Michael says it will be a “poor man’s art show”. Michael who was a long time resident of Pembroke, moved to Hawaii for six months last year and dispersed all his art supplies and artwork. But now he is back and working mostly in acrylics because they are fun and he likes lots of color. He will be showing six paintings done while in the islands where he became known as “Hayolee Mike”. Stop by in July to see Mike’s colorful character paintings.”

Diagnose Your Pet-Online?

By Tonia Evans
It’s Sunday-your Vet is closed till Tuesday, and all of a sudden your dog is doing something weird. You know it’s not an emergency, but you wish you had some more information to assess the situation and be better informed-maybe offer some home care for comfort. Great idea, but where do you turn?

You could call some of your best friends, they always have some advice to share, even if they’ve never had a pet before in their entire lives-they seem to know someone who has and they’ll have your tail spinning in no time! Or you could call your mom-she loves your Cookie Muffin Baby as if he were her own grandchild-right? I know it’s her grand-dog-this is a good mom. But lets face it-she might start getting more emotional than you are, and this could turn into a crazy scene on Sunday. Better not get the whole family involved!

On The Net I stumbled upon http://www.familypetservices.com, Their site says they’re “Striving to be the best 24 hour online pet care reference on the internet…” and after a quick review-I found it to be totally interesting-until I surfed up the cat option to diagnose my kitties skin bump-and suddenly the page read-”Coming Soon.” I guess they’re not cat savvy yet. They only started in 2000, I’ll give them a while-and check back.

Remember-this can never replace going to a veterinarian for real-hands on medical care-but you already know that!
