EVEN FURRY PETS NEED SHELTER WHEN THE WINTER WINDS BLOW

ABBY: I have seen several dogs and cats left outside in 
below-zero weather this winter. Yes, animals have fur to 
help them keep warm, but that doesn't mean they don't get 
cold (even in dog houses). People get cold staying outside 
for an extended amount of time, even when bundled up, so 
imagine how the animals feel. These innocent animals can 
suffer from frostbite and hypothermia just like humans.

Won't you please remind your readers that pets should be 
brought inside on cold days and nights? 
-- ANIMAL LOVER IN NORFOLK, N.Y.

ANIMAL LOVER: While some breeds of dogs fare better in cold 
weather than others, all of them need interaction with their 
guardians. The animals you observed may have been left in
the cold out of ignorance on the part of the humans with whom 
they co-exist.

I don't care how furry some of our furry friends appear to 
be. Check with your veterinarian to see when your breed 
should be brought indoors. 



ABBY: I'm a divorced single mother with a 13-year-old 
daughter I'll call "Gia." We live next door to an attractive 
62-year-old widow I'll call "Doris," who has become like a 
grandmother to Gia and a dear friend to me.

Last night I went to my daughter's room and found her 
standing on a stool in her closet looking out a small window 
into Doris' bedroom. When I asked Gia what she was doing, 
she didn't answer, so I climbed up on the stool to see for 
myself. Abby, Doris was in bed with her son, "Jeff," having 
sex. I could hardly believe my eyes!

Jeff is 36 and a mama's boy. He has his own home but visits 
his mother often. Gia said she has watched them many times 
since we moved here four years ago, and described some of 
the things she's seen.

I'm not sure how to handle this. Doris is very close to us, 
and Gia seems unaffected when we get together for dinner or 
the movies, etc.

Should I tell Doris and Jeff that I saw them? And what do I 
say to my daughter, who has been "educated" beyond her years? 
-- SEEN ENOUGH, CHAMPAIGN, ILL.

SEEN ENOUGH: You should definitely tell Doris that your 
daughter has been getting an eyeful from her closet window, 
and strongly suggest that Doris' curtains be closed when Jeff 
is "visiting." And if you haven't already talked to your 
daughter about sex -- and appropriate behavior -- it's time 
you played catch-up, so don't delay.

I would find it hard to continue a friendship with a woman in 
an incestuous relationship with her son. They're in serious 
need of counseling.

ABBY: I am an assistant librarian in New Mexico. My daughter 
recently told me she's going to convert to Buddhism. I'm 
perplexed by her choice. I want to support her because her 
aunt is also a Buddhist, but I wasn't raised Buddhist.

What advice can you give me? 
-- LONGTIME READER  

LONGTIME READER: As an assistant librarian, you're 
surrounded by books. The time has come to pick up a couple 
and start reading about Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy. 
If you're near a computer, Google it. You'll find an 
abundance of information on the subject. I would also 
recommend that you attend a couple of meetings with your 
daughter. That way, you'll have a better understanding of 
what she -- and her aunt -- are attracted to.
