Dog Daze: Make Sure the Pets Get the Same Protection as Children and Adults

Let your out of door friends enjoy some chilled air conditioning.

You know how hot is it out there? Pets refuse to go out of doors when given the opportunity. These are the dog days of summer and we haven’t reached July 1 yet. Local police remind people not to neglect the four legged friends. They say every precaution should be taken, the same as you would for elderly people and children too. (Follow Patch on Facebook for updates- check out our page and "Like" it here.) Here’s what the National Veterinary council has to say: Time to get out with the family (and likely a family pet or two) and enjoy recreational activities. The purpose of this is to serve as a reminder of summer dangers for pets, so that all of the fun isn't spoiled by an unsuspected emergency or illness. Don't leave a dog in a car in the…

POLL: Would You Buy Health Insurance or Car Insurance?

Missouri voters nixed federal healthcare requirement in 2010. What if you had to choose?

Which one would be most important to you if you had to choose one to pay? Vote in our poll. In 2010, West County Republican state Sen. Jane Cunningham supported a ballot proposition passed by voters that may have exempted Missouri from the federal Affordable Care Act's requirement to buy health insurance. Since Thursday morning's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upholds the Constitutionality of the federal health insurance measure, Americans are on the hook for health insurance, just like car insurance. What if you got to choose? Which would you rather buy? Take our poll to see how others feel too! Federal law typically trumps state measures in a case like this.
