Celebrity Guest Columnist
This week, our CELEBRITY GUEST COLUMNIST, Ines de Pablo, is  one of the most dedicated and uniquely involved women in the
field of animal advocacy and concern. She is Founder and Chief
Wag'N Officer of WAG'N Enterprises, a company that offers
pet parents and first responders the necessary gear, supplies and training to
effectively mitigate, prepare and respond to emergencies that impact pet health
and safety. In other words, she is the guru on Pet Emergency Management!
We first had Ines on our site in
October 2009. We asked her back because of all the incredible natural disasters
that are occurring and will continue to occur through this very volatile Spring
weather pattern. We are seeing the day to day need for pet owners to be
prepared to care for their pet family members in the toughest of circumstances.
Her work in Pet Emergency Management is par excellence as she encourages all of
us to prepare in advance should the worse happen, so that our pets TOO may
survive whatever threatens us and all our family members. READ MORE...

 Susi's Commentary
Our Lady of Lourdes feast day is this Thursday, February 11th. It
was 43 years ago as a Catholic convert that I took the Confirmation name
Bernadette, so this is indeed a very special feast day in my
life.

Stargazing
 On September 27, 2007, NASA launched its first space mission, DAWN,
to the asteroid named 4 Vesta, where DAWN will orbit the asteroid for nine
months. 4 Vesta is the second most massive object in the asteroid belt which is
located between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists hope to calculate Vesta's precise
mass. During the month of February 2010, 4 Vesta can be seen with binoculars as
it moves through the constellation of Leo and can be seen especially well
on the nights of February 17th and 18th. Read more on 4 Vesta on NASA's Near Earth Object Program page.
