Pets-Bugs

This undated photo provided by Orin McMonigle shows one of the few pest species, Periplaneta americana, a white eye mutation that is no longer known to exist in the wild and has been maintained in captivity since 1943. McMonigle says that if pet roaches were to escape, the only danger would be to the insects themselves. They can't survive in the typical home, where the temperature and humidity are unsuitable and they can't find food. (AP Photo/Orin McMonigle)

Traveling with pets

In this May 2011 photo provided by Sheron Long, Chula, a 30-pound Shetland sheepdog and veteran traveler, rests on a bed in the Sheraton Hotel at the Charles de Gaulle Airport, after a long flight from San Francisco to Paris, France. Travel for humans during holidays is tough enough: Long lines, crowds everywhere, extra bags full of presents. Throw a pet in the mix, and it's a recipe for disaster. Long is the author of "Dog Trots Globe - To Paris and Provence." (AP Photo/Sheron Long)

Pets Fires

This undated image provided by ADT Security Services shows 5-year-old, lab-basset hound mix Lucy reaching for a homemade cake on a stove in Norman, Okla. Pets and other animals set about 510 house fires every year in this country, the majority involving a stove or oven, lamp or light fixture, a candle, embers or ashes from an ashtray or fireplace, or a space heater.

Pets-Halloween

This Oct. 31, 2010 image provided by Sue Subkow, shows her golden retriever, Jill, in costume as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz during the San Diego Golden Retriever Meetup Group's Halloween Pooch Party in San Diego, Calif. The first 45 minutes or hour of any golden retriever party involves letting the dogs run off-leash, Subkow said. That tires them out so they aren't too rambunctious during the on-leash parade, prize ceremony and lunch. (AP Photo/Sue Subkow)

This July 2011 photo provided by the Black and Orange Cat Foundation shows Cheddar at three months old and weighing 1.5-pounds playing in a cat tower in Columbus, Ohio. In most cases, if a runted dog or cat makes it through six to eight weeks, it will likely survive and will probably get close to full size, according to experts.
