Dr. Pete’s closing advice: ‘Give your pet a hug’
It's been more than 18 years since I penned my first column for this newspaper. The response from readers has been phenomenal; I've hardly ever made a trip to the store without running into someone who wants to talk to me about their pet. Because of this, I've never had a shortage of topics. We've talked everything from dermatitis to dementia, indigestion to insecurity, even laryngitis, lick-sores and leptospirosis. Your letters have fueled my fire and made this column easy to write. And I'll always be grateful for that.
