Who else could write a short piece for the American Bar Association General Practice Division's Magazine on "Pets and the Quality of Life of People" but Betty White. Our July/August issue, on “Animal Law”, is still in need of an “In the Solution” column. I was thinking maybe a “quality of life” type article on how pets help busy professionals feel emotionally grounded and happy. We'd need the article by, say, May 1, 2009. This would be fabulous.
