The cat and dog days of summer

Bulldogs for Alley Cats and Hardin Co. Dog Warden address animal welfare

By Paula Pyzik Scott

A recent Ada-area social media post asked for advice dealing with, let us say, the “sanitary” needs of the seven cats the resident has been feeding. Having just been to the veterinarian with a cat that lives in a small one-bedroom apartment, I was prepared to pass along the vet’s advice that they need a litter box plus one for every cat. That makes eight litter boxes for this scenario.

Lady and the Tramp: Pasta and health

By Lena Salameh, Pharmacy Resident and Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1937, artist Joe Grant pitched an idea to Walt Disney about making a movie inspired by his English Springer Spaniel named Lady.  His plot would be based on how the family dog may receive less attention when a new baby was in the house. The plot and the movie struggled through many iterations at Disney before being released as Lady and the Tramp on June 22, 1955. This movie has an iconic scene where Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti and end up kissing at the end of the same noodle. 

Pasta is the most common food group worldwide. It comes in various shapes, sizes, and dishes. Pasta is sometimes labeled as a common enemy of diets. Low-carbohydrate diets that cut out carbohydrates, like pasta, have become very popular. Since many low-carbohydrate and keto diets have become promoted, the amount of pasta eaten in both the United States and other countries has been decreasing. The reason appears to be related to pasta being considered a dangerous noodle because it can cause weight gain and is fattening.
