A growing number of veterinarians are going back to the "old" way of practicing medicine — making house calls. And resident veterinarian Dr. Debbye Turner says that if pets could talk, they might say avoiding a trip to the vet's office is just what the doctor ordered.

The American Association Of Housecall Veterinarians has around 500 members, and continues to grow. For more information and to find a vet who makes housecalls near you, click here.

Cheetahs are the world's fastest land mammals and can hit top speeds of 70 mph — faster than the speed limit on most roads.

Perhaps it is only fitting that the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) has teamed up with Audi of America to create a car designed to raise money to save this magnificent and endangered cat from extinction.

And the car was on The Early Show plaza. Valued over $40,000, this Audi took part in the Columbus Day Parade and will be touring the country. Best of all, a sweepstakes is being held in conjunction with the tour. You may purchase tickets and register for a chance to win this car. Tickets will be sold for $100 each or six for $500. All proceeds will go to support CCF and the endangered cheetah in the wild.

For all the details about this promotion and sweepstakes, please visit www.cheetah.org, and click on the "Drive to Survive" icon, and learn how you can support the cheetah conservation efforts.
