Why Do Dogs Fight?

Eleanor Scheidemann, Our official Pets Expert says:

A Powerful Way to Create Change

Karen Schacter, Our official Psychology of Eating Expert says:

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." (Gandhi)

I have always loved this quote. I think it resonates deeply with me because I tend to be a "fixer." If I see something not working, I want it to work. If I see someone suffering, I want them to feel better. I tend to develop angst over problems in the world and wish things could be different. I have loads of advice J, as well as a huge passion, for easing the suffering of others. I became a social worker in the first place, frankly, because I wanted to change the world.
