Top Dogs and Help Wanted

The top ten pet names for dogs have been
revealed. Veterinary Pet Insurance, a pet health
insurance provider, went through its database of
more than 450,000 insured pets to find the most popular monikers of 2008.
The company found that traditional pet names,
such as Fido, took a back seat to "people" names last year.

**The TOP 10:
1. Max
2. Bailey
3. Bella
4. Molly
5. Lucy
6. Buddy
7. Maggie
8. Daisy
9. Sophie
10. Chloe

My Lab's name is Jake. We found out Cynthia is allergic to dogs so Art called and told us about the Labradoodle. His son is very allergic to dogs but not a Labradoodle because there hair is fleece like and they don't shed much if at all. Here's a link to more on the Labradoddle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labradoodle


HELP WANTED

Nursing jobs are the exception in an economy
riddled with job cuts in nearly every industry.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts
about 233,000 additional jobs will open for
registered nurses each year through 2016, on top
of about 2.5 million existing positions. But only
about 200,000 candidates passed the Registered
Nurse licensing exam last year, and thousands of
nurses leave the profession each year.

**FYI: Registered nurses made an average of
$62,480 in 2007, ranging from a mean of $78,550
in California to $49,140 in Iowa, according to
government statistics. Including overtime,
usually abundantly available, the most
experienced nurses can earn more than $100,000.
