Submitted by WTVM Web Staff on Thursday, June 13th, 6:36 am

(WTVM)- We're happy to announce that two of the dogs and two of the cats we presented last week were adopted or placed into rescue groups. Sadly, two of the dogs were euthanized and two cats are still waiting to be adopted. That's why it's so important to find homes for these lonely, sad animals to find a forever home.

Here's a look at this week's pets that can't wait to come home with you.

Tag 73 is a male domestic shorthair cat with orange fur. He's fully vetted and has already been neutered, so he's ready to come home and play!

Walking after you eat is good for your health

Submitted by WTVM Web Staff on Thursday, June 13th, 5:21 am

(WTVM)- After a meal, don't sit in
front of the TV or take a quick nap; instead, get up and move.

Walking can help keep off
the pounds and may even prevent diabetes.

Researchers at George
Washington University found taking a 15 minute walk after every meal can reduce
blood sugar levels.

They also discovered the
method is more effective than taking one 45 minute walk every day.

Doctors say exercise right
after a meal keeps blood sugar from spiking.
