DEAR ABBY: I'm three months pregnant. Before I got pregnant, my husband and I enjoyed having wine with dinner or a margarita when we were out on the town. We didn't drink to excess, but have enjoyed alcohol in moderation.

Roxy and Rocco are best buds since the rambunctious Rocco joined the family five years ago. He’s an old time farm shepherd who roams “the farm” watching out for everyone and everything. She’s a lovable 9-year-old golden retriever who’s sweeter than an olallieberry pie from Gizdich Ranch. They both love to play fetch and their favorite outing is to Carmel Beach.

Beagle and Schnitzel; two little brown rescues that run our lives. We rescued Beagle from a shelter in Santa Cruz five years ago and nursed him through Parvo. A 12-pound little dachshund/Chihuahua mix originally named Wasabi, which we changed due to our love for the breed of beagle. He is quite regal, like an eagle, our Beagle. We loved him so much, he was the ring bearer at our wedding.

Bella is a very sweet 2-year-old shepherd mix. Her favorite time of the day is when daddy takes her out front to watch traffic or to play. She loves chasing balls all over the yard and is very good at catching soccer balls.

DEAR ABBY: I'm 21, and my 16-year-old sister is out of control. She told me she smokes marijuana, drinks alcohol, abuses painkillers and recently mentioned she does coke.

Cathy Canales, of Gilroy, keeps 19 dead fish in her freezer, hoping authorities will investigate her reports of a series of bizarre break-ins during which her pets - cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and this month, fish - have allegedly been mutilated, maimed and even killed, according to Canales.
