Val Farmer: A look at what works in parenting teens

Reflecting back on our parenting years, here are some of the principles we used to form positive relationships with our children during their teenage years. Admittedly we weren’t perfect, but now we are enjoying the fruits of having survived those turbulent years.

Pet Care: Benefits of changing pet food

Dear Dr. Fox: I want to tell you how much I appreciate your advice about changing diet. It can make a lot of health problems go away. My 6-year-old schnauzer mix, Sam, had recurrent skin problems and frequent episodes of diarrhea. Veterinary treatments with various medications gave her only temporary relief at best.

Val Farmer: Rural life comes with particular downsides

What are the things about living in a small community that gripe you? Normally you wouldn’t bring these things up in polite company, but among trusted friends and in your braver or more foolish moments you might. Of course you would want to preface your thoughts with the reasons why you like living in a rural community so your friends don’t get the wrong impression.

Val Farmer: Sticking with self-help goals can be challenge

What are you going to do about that unwanted behavior – the particular vice or problem you are trying to overcome? Is it excessive weight, overspending, smoking, excessive and uncontrolled drinking, or an issue with anger management?

Pet Care: Cats not born to be vegans

Dear Dr. Fox: I know your intentions are good. But do you know the details about the horrific animal agriculture industry that produces cat food? For you to say that it is “unethical” to raise a vegan cat does not seem to make much sense, given that the alternative is far worse for so many more animals.

Val Farmer: Weighing benefits, costs of living together

According to the new Pew Research analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, the rates of unmarried cohabitation – the status of couples who are sexual partners, not married to each other, and sharing a household – have doubled over the past 15 years. Between 1960 and 2005, cohabitation has increased by 1,200 percent or more than tenfold.

Pet Care: Moistening food may curtail cat’s vomiting

Dear Dr. Fox: Tell the woman who wrote about her cat throwing up that my 10-year-old Siamese used to throw up daily but now has stopped. My cat didn’t chew his food thoroughly, and he ate too fast. I now add ½ cup of water and cover his food so he can’t eat it for 20 minutes. It changes the dry food to wet mush; problem solved.

Val Farmer: Understanding victims of abuse, breaking cycle

Why do abuse victims go back to abusive relationships? In order to understand this, one has to recognize the nature of the bond that has developed between the abusive partner and the victim.

Prairie Fare: Thanksgiving prompts turkey talk

The other day I came upon a paper turkey that my daughter created using her hand as a pattern when she was in early elementary school. You probably have seen these turkeys or even made one yourself at some point.

Pet Care: Pets show when they aren’t well

Dear Dr. Fox: I appreciate your protection of animals other than dogs and cats. I also wonder how you can even stomach or print the letters like the person who insists on toilet training the cats and now has one peeing on her bed.

Val Farmer: First loves, former loves potentially dangerous

By talking with people who have had affairs and courtship collapses, I’ve learned about the power of fantasy and “first loves.” A breakup of a first romance – not of one’s own choosing – has a lot of unresolved power connected with it.

Val Farmer: What makes an apology a good-enough one?

I read a book called “One Minute Apology.” It had some nice thoughts about how relationships can be restored by frequent and well-meant apologies. It is true. Not enough people make apologies for the acts of harm they have caused. It is often the missing factor in holding up forgiveness. Too many harmful actions haven’t been acknowledged, and the victim is left dissatisfied and unresolved.

Pet Care: Check for signs of fleas

Dear Dr. Fox: A very basic question: How do I know when my cat has fleas if I do not actually see one crawling on her?
