How to Keep a Happy, Healthy Dog?
Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes become infected by ingesting very small infective stages of a microfilaria (worm).† In the mosquito, the worm molts twice and moves to the styles of the proboscis where they remain until the mosquito feeds.† During blood feeding, the worms move out of the styles and into the wound.† In dogs and other canines, the worms molt to the adult stage and migrate to the large blood vessels and heart where mating and reproduction occur.† Disease in dogs occur when the number of worms becomes sufficiently large enough to impede blood flow and heart function. Symptoms to watch for are: cough, lack of energy, weight loss, breathing difficulties, and rough coat. Heartworm disease in dogs is a serious and potentially fatal disease. Always consult your veterinarian for treatment and prevention of the heartworm disease in dogs.

1305 W. Harrison St., Plymouth, 574-936-9904; www.marshallcountycouncilonaging.org
The Marshall County Council on Aging is looking for businesses that would like to boost their client base by sponsoring the "Brunch & A Movie" series. "Brunch & A Movie" is held on the second Thursday of the month at the Life Enrichment Center at 9:30 am. Sponsors are responsible for supplying the movie, a light brunch, and fliers for the events, for a three-month period. The Council on Aging will distribute fliers, as well as advertise the events in other venues. The benefit for sponsors is a chance to introduce your products or services to a very targeted, captive audience. Past sponsors have included banks, funeral homes, and fitness centers among others. Donna Pontius, of Centier Bank definitely saw the rewards of their sponsorship, "Our 'Sizzlin Summer Series' drew more people each time. Over the three months that we sponsored Brunch and A Movie, we opened about ten accounts - checking, savings and certificates of deposit - but since then we've probably opened another half dozen accounts. People still comment about what a wonderful idea it is." If you'd like more information or would like to sponsor the series, please call the Life Enrichment Center at 936-9904, or email jholiday.mcoas@hotmail.com.
