In your lifetime, try to be the person your pet thinks you are.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. - Albert Schweitzer

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you're feeling blue is that he doesn't try to find out why.-Unknown

I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. - Abraham Lincoln

"Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued into the next yard." Dave Barry

** DONNA'S COMMENTS **

This newsletter is such fun! It is so exciting to find so much good
information on the internet to help our animals and those who don't have a
home. You can learn about so many things in the comfort of your home.
Although we've been on the internet for 15 months now, it is still a
fascinating experience to think about what is available to us. I'm not a
computer lover, but I do like to find answers quickly because I'm not the
dig-in type of researcher that my sweet hubby is.

I had somebody ask me about how to deskunk a dog. I hadn't had that
experience before and so I sent them a bunch of URLs where I figured they
could find an answer. Only 15 minutes later, an email came across my
desktop from somebody else that had the answer. I never even asked! I
wonder how that works :-) If you want the info too, here it is:

Helping pets has always been a passion of mine and doing this newsletter is
very rewarding. If you know somebody that may benefit from it, highlight
the following message and click "Forward" and send it to a friend. I really
want to build the subscriber base on this so that more animal lovers can
have resources to help their pets.

Thanks so much!
Donna

** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **

PREGNANCY

Although I am a very strong supporter of Spay/Neuter Programs, there are
people who ask about herbs for pregnancy.

Red Raspberry leaf administered daily throughout a pet's pregnancy (mammals)
will help tone the uterus and aid in the healing of the uterus after birth.
It keeps the blood healthy, and helps to stimulate milk production in the
mammaries.

Marshmallow or Blessed Thistle are herbs that will help to increase and
enrich milk if that is a problem.

DID YOU KNOW THAT 1 in 400 DOGS HAS DIABETES?

Caring for a diabetic pet takes a very strong commitment from both the owner
and the vet. You must provide a very high level of care for your pet on a
daily basis. Gone are the days of putting out food and water, giving a quick
pat on the head, and hurrying out the door. Every day you will have to give
your pet medication, feed a proper diet, and watch his behavior. But don't
get the impression that you are now a prisoner....you aren't... but you will
have to pay much closer attention to your pet's needs and behavior, and you
will have to make arrangements for someone to care for your pet if you leave
for a day or more. Your hard work and commitment will be reflected in your
pet's continuing good health, and hopefully you will be able to enjoy the
love and companionship of your pet for many more years.
For more information, see http://www.petdiabetes.com

** SUCCESS STORY **

CYSTITIS

"I awoke to find our cat leaving bloody drops of urine every where. I began
JP-X hourly through that day until she was going freely without blood. The
next day she slept a lot. I gave her 1-2x/day for a week. No antibiotics!
It worked! How wonderful!" D.W.

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL ISSUE **

DESTRUCTIVE SCRATCHING

Cats have a need for scratching, but it shouldn't be on your furniture.
This article will give you some ideas on providing alternatives.

DECLAWING YOUR CAT

I don't consider this to be one of those alternatives. For more info and

** PRODUCT FOCUS **

THREE - Chasing the Fleas Away

Thus named because of the three herbs in the formula: Alfalfa, Dandelion
and Kelp. These herbs are rich in vitamins and minerals which helps to
correct dietary deficiencies.

When an animal's blood is healthy and clean, it doesn't attract parasites,
such as fleas. It's similar to the concept of a clean trash can not
attracting maggots. The trash can (or body) has to be "dirty" before it
will attract parasites.

Alfalfa enriches the bloodstream. Dandelion is a liver cleanser and builder
and supports the kidney function also. Since the liver and the kidneys
filter the blood, it's important to have them healthy. Kelp is rich in
trace minerals and feeds the glandular system which helps to provide a shiny
coat and healthy skin.

People have used Combination THREE along with GARLIC as a flea program.
Garlic is high in sulphur which fleas do not like. As the THREE cleans up
the blood and enriches the nutrition of the animal, the GARLIC is excreted
through the skin to repel the fleas until the body is cleaner and healthy
enough to repel the fleas itself.
