phillies win by two touchdowns, 17 to three. the sixers had the day off. the final home game is tomorrow against the pacers. brown's team is stumbling to the finish line. injuries have played big part in this six game losing streak. to the wells fargo center against the bucks. holmes, bright spot last night, second quarter, dario, making sweet passes, one to holmes, throws down two of the 17. sixers lead by six at the half. the bucks, though, they take over in the third. gianna, with the steel. easy lay up. the bucks up by seven at this point. the greek freak had 20-point. greg monroe continued to have his way against the sixers. he scores here. he get the foul. he had 17 off the bench. the sixers, they're running on fumes to the finish line. they lose 90 to 82. the final game of the season for the flyers is tonight against the hurricanes. and then they pack up and wonder why they did not make the playoffs for the third time in the last five seasons.

yesterday they played the columbus blue jacket in south philly. wayne simmons, voted team mvp, pick up hardware before the game. no score first period. pierre edward bellmawr wicked wrist there. he light the lamp for the first time in 36 games. puts the flyers up one-nothing, later in the first, michael delsat owe beat sergei, after a review, it would still count. so two-nothing flyers. second period, hitting voracek, walks in for the 20th e flyers beat the blue jacket four to two. philadelphia inquirer is reporting that defensive tackle bo allen suffered a serious chest injury, torn peck muscle, could keep the 25 year old out several months. >> down in chester philadelphia union looking for their first win of the season. still searching over zero nine minutes. sixty-six minute offer the

>> back now with the pet project, carol erickson, animal advocate with the pennsylvania spca here with very cute adopt recall this morning. >> this is cuey, little five month old puppy. one of the things you may be noticing is that huey is wearing something, that's what we want to talk about today. and he's wearing a thunder shirt. and you may have heard about this product. it is something that applies calming pressure to your animal. does it work or not? >> that's the big question. >> yes. i get differing answers from people that i actually talk to about it, but tell you what, they did real interesting study. temple, the animal behavior researchers that everybody has heard of, she was part of

study that they did on these thunder shirt, she found they do significantly decrease the anxiety in your pet. they lower the heart rate. and other stress behaviors. now, here is a dog, morris, at the pennsylvania spca that was adopted wearing a his thunder shirt, they do use these at the pennsylvania spcat applies a moderate pressure to the soft tissue, and pay aren't that does something to the nervous tis tell, that sort of thing, calms the animal n this thunder shirt study they studied just separation anxiety, so if you leave and your pet goes crazy, this was something that apparently worked, because it helped the animal, it also helped just generalize anxiety. >> like thunderstorms, just anxiety in general? >> in fact in the study they didn't look at thunderstorms. >> interesting. >> but it leads me to couple every other items also for sale. i think maybe everybody should google it on their own. there is a ton of information. you get a lot of sales information as well when do you that. but one called the storm

defender cape. it is almost got metallic line thing, supposedly to be used and has had some success according to some of the studies done on it, yes, you're in a thunder shirt, you're supposed to be calm here, honey, and it is because it has got sort of metallic lining, it helps discharge the static electricity that builds up before a thunderstorm that can really make your pet kind of very, very anxious. >> do we see them go to specific places in the house because of stat snuck. >> the static can build up in their coat. so during thunderstorm even before the thunderstorm starts you may fine your dog or cat trying to get in the car with you, or go to the bathroom, and get near the pipes, or get near a toilet or tub or sing. that's because those electrically grounded things can discharge the static electricity. so storm defender cape, if it works for your pet it, takes couple of times, then they start to associate the fact i'm in this cape. blah blah blah. has to be used all of these specially the thunder shirt and the anxiety wrap, which is

i think the almost the original one, that apparently does also work for thunderstorms they have to be used right, they have to be sized right, have the right amount of pressure. if you drape one on that apparently will not work. >> can't just drape a blanket over? >> no, yes, it has got to have -- then of course know it will be get to go upper time. don't want to leave them something out in this. storm defender cape you cannot use if you are leaving a house, dog with separation anxiety. lots to look at on that. >> carol you know avenue cat. my cat is scared by thunder, would it work on cats? >> they have them for cats. >> okay. so the same thing? >> the thunder shirt, that calm pressure that apparently works and works on people, works on pets. so -- >> and i thought if i hugged him that would be okay? >> that probably would help some too. but this is more scientifically designed to go to the right spot. we've got some adoptable animals before we talk little more chewy. look, you love cat, i don't

blame you. manny is a gorgeous cat, look how big manny is. but he's 15 years old, he was adopt in the 2001 and his owners brought him back now. they have obviously fed him. he is reportedly very well loved. and he is in search of his forever family. and maybe a diet food. twelve year old female domestic long haired cat, she came in as victim of cruelty. you know, all of these animals would love to be loved. so, she would do best in a home with people who understand that. and dutchess, this dog is ready to go into a fabulous home. has the best rating of all at the pennsylvania spca. this is dutchess. four year old goal end retriever mix, her owner no longer keep her, apparently house trained, all need little reminder. but look for dutch he is, if you are a wonderful, wonderful pet owner, i want you to get dutchess. do not get a plant. >> and huey is wonderful. he's just great doing.
