Pet First Aid: Fly Bites

In some parts of the world, fly bites are a common problem for pets. Dogs — especially dogs with upright ears — are more susceptible to fly bites than cats are, but any pet may fall prey to a biting fly. Horses are often preyed on by stable flies (also known as biting houseflies). Fly bites generally aren’t life threatening — some first aid action on a human’s part is usually all the injury needs. Signs of fly bites can include: Inflamed ear tips and edges Crusty scabs Wounds on the ears that leak blood or (more often) serum The … Continue reading →

The Magic School Bus: Catches a Wave (1994)

“The Magic School Bus: Catches a Wave” contains three water-related episodes designed to teach your children science without their even knowing it. That’s why I love this series – it’s educational and fun at the same time. The first episode on this DVD is “Wet all Over.” Wanda and Arnold are paired together for their science report, and Wanda wants to make sure to get it just right by using real water. When Miss Frizzle suggests that they go to Water Land to explore water, the kids think it’s great. But then she turns them into water themselves, and they … Continue reading →

We love watching “The Magic School Bus.” It’s a combination of science, physics, and entertainment the whole family can enjoy together. I admit, I’ve learned quite a bit myself. “Space Adventures”” is a collection of three flight-related episodes put into one. Our first selection, “Lost in Space,” features Arnold’s cousin Janet as a visiting know-it-all who’s determined to prove that her school is the best.

In the first, “Inside the Haunted House,” Carlos is trying to invent a new musical instrument that will really knock the socks off the competition at the band tournament. But no matter how he tweaks his invention, … Continue reading →
