White teeth aren’t necessarily healthy
Q: We've taken Eli, our poodle, to the same groomer for the past seven years. He loves going there and looks fabulous when they are done. They also clean his teeth and he has a beautiful smile when they finish. But our vet tells us that the groomer's dental work is not good enough and his teeth should be cleaned at the clinic. This means anesthesia and an expensive vet bill. The vet insists the groomer can't do the job, even though Eli looks so good afterwards. My husband thinks the vet is trying to drum up more business. She's a good veterinarian, and I usually trust her judgement. What's the story here?
The Gershwin’s ‘Porgy and Bess’: A revival to behold
From the wistful, beautiful first notes of Gershwin's classic “Summertime” at the opening of the first act, to the last notes of Porgy's “I'm On My Way” as he sets out to find his love at the end of the last act, this production is a glorious conglomeration of beautiful Gershwin music with a heart-wrenching plot creatively redesigned by award-winning director Diane Paulus. She brings us a bigger and better “Porgy and Bess” and her casting - for the most part - is impeccable.
