  • The Buzz: Most cat lovers like them mixed Less than 1 percent of the total feline population are pedigreed cats. The rest are usually cat-egorized by coat length in the United States, with veterinarians marking them in the records as domestic longhairs (DLH) or domestic shorthairs (DSH).

  • Ask Dog Lady: Who makes Walters cha-cha-cha? Q: I am wondering if you could tell me what kind of dog Barbara Walters owns? I saw her with her dog on "The View" over a year ago and cannot remember what breed it is. It is the name of someplace in Mexico, I think. The dog was longhaired and a smaller breed; very smart and affectionate. Please help.

  • Audubon ecologist leads walk in search of dragonflies Dragonflies are lords of the air. With iridescent colors and large sets of matching wings, they have a sinister beauty that puts military technology to shame.
    "They're predators. They eat insects," said Audubon ecologist Robert Buchsbaum, who will lead a walk through Beverly Commons Woodland this Sunday in search of dragonflies and damselflies. "They're strong fliers. They look like B-52s, colorfully marked."
