Dear Friends,

Change is afoot at Petfinder. We've added a new Local Services and Supplies Directory so you can find resources you need in your community. You may even have a service you want to add. Our new blog includes colorful anecdotes and news from our staff. We've got free Ecards for you to send to your friends - which will also help spread the word about pet adoption. Check out the games, pet-related training videos and articles, too. One thing hasn’t changed: our mission to find homes for adoptable pets. Thanks for helping us.

HERE'S WHAT YOU SAID
In response to our question about what healthy food preferences do you and your pet share, the replies ran the gamut from A (steamed artichoke leaves) to Z (zucchini). Besides meats, raw carrots were mentioned most often.

As for fruit, bananas were a favorite, although Cheryl C.’s potbellied pig, Harley, loves to eat papaya. “I cut it in chunks and he eats it with a smile on his face, smacking as he eats,” she writes.

Here’s another fun answer we received:

Kirby, our little Pom mix, loves raw baby carrots. Our Chow tried them, only because she saw Kirby eating them with such gusto. Afraid that she might be missing out on a good thing, she decided to beg for one; she really, really tried to like it, but the faces she made reminded me of a little kid trying to eat Brussels sprouts. Just too funny! But she at least tried a healthy snack; that's more than I can say about my husband.
