March Madness Quiz: Do You Know Your Wild Mascots?
I filled out our office March Madness bracket and I'll clue you into my secret – since my alma mater performed miserably, I went for the animal mascots! Now I'm not sure how things will turn out for me in the end, but it was fun doing my research on the sporty creatures. Since some teams remained the same from last year, and others were totally new, take my quiz to see how you do in 2009!
Did You Leave a Pet at Home and Move Away?
Empty nest syndrome doesn't just affect parents as pets can be hit hard by a human family member moving out! After all, if Fido's used to curling up at your feet at night or Fluffy accustomed to laying on your lap while you watch TV, the vacant spot can not only cause confusion but sometimes even separation anxiety or other behavioral changes. Sadly, both of my childhood pets had passed away before I went off to college so I've never experienced this – have you?
Do Tell: Was Your University Pet-Friendly?
Even though tons of colleges have animals as mascots, they may not be welcome inside dorm doors. I attended a university where nearly everyone lives on campus for all four years . .
Quiz: More Than Just Bulldogs and Wildcats!
Rather than rely on season records or uniform colors, I made many of my March Madness picks based on whether or not the school had an animal as a mascot. While it may be an unconventional method, I decided to extend the popular "Who Let the Dogs Out?" quiz to this year's college basketball tourney.
Who Let the Dogs Out?!
How well do you know your doggies? I've sniffed out eight schools with pups as their mascots . .

The Scoop: First H1N1 Cat Case Confirmed by AVMA
Following last week's case in Oregon where vets confirmed the first H1N1 transmission between a human and a pet ferret, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has confirmed that a 13-year-old, indoor-only cat in Iowa in fact has swine flu.
While it's uncommon for flu viruses (like the H3N8 for dogs) to jump between species, doctors at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine performed two sets of tests to find the feline was in fact infected. According to her owners, they had been sick with flu-like symptoms before noticing the cat was ill and, until recently, there was no reason to think cats could catch the 2009 swine flu.
It's Feral Cat Day — Have You Ever Seen One?
Today's National Feral Cat Day to honor those felines that live in the wild. Before you start wishing they all could be rescued and adopted, know that many of these kitties are better-accustomed to living on their own terms in the wild. In areas around the country where this is common, Trap-Neuter-Release plans are enforced to keep a handle on the population.
Cat Owners Eight Times More Likely to Have MRSA at Home
If you're not familiar with it already, MRSA is a bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics, dangerous because of, well, its drug resistance. The first cases in pets popped up about five years ago in therapy dogs exposed to patients or healthcare workers, but the tables could turn, putting humans in more danger any day.
Typically, humans usually infect pets (and not vice versa), but animals can serve as a reservoir for the bacteria and pass it back to humans.
