Endocrine Problems: Insulin Resistance ("http://www.pet-vet.com/12-2-12.htm") "Diabetes is not a rare disease in either dogs or cats. Just like people, pets can also experience insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a condition in which a normal amount of insulin produces an inadequate response; the anticipated dose fails to regulate the blood sugar level. The phenomenon may result from a decreased sensitivity to insulin, a decreased maximum response to insulin, or a combination of the two."

Sugar Gliders (http://www.sugarglider.com/gliderpedia/index.asp?SugarGlider) "The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small arboreal marsupial that is found in the forests of Australia, as well as in Tasmania, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands of Indonesia. This little creature is a member of the same order that includes kangaroos, opossums, wombats and Tasmanian devils!" Their name comes from their affinity for sweet things like the sweet sap that leaks from wounds in trees... Besides being intelligent, playful and inquisitive, they are just darn cute. They also don't smell bad, don't have fleas, don't need shots, and are relatively inexpensive to keep...
