If the spring in the air has kept you out instead of in more, but you still want to keep up on the happenings in the Pets Blog, fear not. This handy Week in Review will keep you in the loop about Aimee and I wrote about on:

Monday, April 14

Aimee covered everything you'd ever want to know about guinea pig cages.

Tuesday, April 15

There is both an art and science to guinea pig feeding. Aimee explained how to accomplish both.

Do religion and animals go hand in hand? Can they even go together at all? In some cases, yes.

Aimee discussed the various pet reactions to medication her Moose and Lally sometimes exhibit.

Wednesday, April 16

Some pet owners will be happy to know that Menu Foods announced a settlement recently.

Saturday, April 19

It's official, monkeys are going to Mars.

Aimee provided some things to keep in mind when boarding an older pet.

I wondered if you would know your dog if you had to pick it out of a lineup.
