** DONNA'S COMMENTS **
Not related to pets unless you're buying for your animals online, but something that has made our life easier in exchanging money on the internet, is PayPal.com. We use this in our business and it's been a great free service. Since we get $5 for any referral, I mention it to you since these kinds of things help to provide a bit of income for the time it takes to compile these weekly newsletters.

PayPal.com is a completely free service that lets users send money to anyone with an email address. PayPal charges the money to an existing credit card or bank checking account. It's faster, safer and easier than mailing a personal check. Great for auctions!

When you complete registration, PayPal gives you $5 in your account! Signing up is quick, easy and you can request a check to be mailed to you at any time. No strings attached. If you're interested, check it out:

Have a blessed week!

** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **

HYPOTHYROIDISM

Various herbs can be used to help this problem:

KELP is rich in iodine and promotes glandular health and helps to regulate the metabolism. Iodine is also required by the pituitary, adrenal and pineal glands.

IRISH MOSS helps to clean and strengthen the cell structure, it also contains iodine to help build up the glandular production.

PARSLEY has an overall tonic effect as well as an ability to increase disease resistance.

BLACK WALNUT hulls are one of the best sources of iodine found in land- based flora. This portion of the plant also contains potassium, which helps regulate excess salt in the body. If there is a parasite problem with the thyroid, this will address it.

All of these herbs and more can be found in a great thyroid product called, Thyroid Activator. You can read more at:

DOG CRATES - IS IT CAGING THE ANIMAL?

Providing your puppy or dog with an indoor kennel crate can satisfy many dogs' need for a den-like enclosure. Besides being an effective housebreaking tool (because it takes advantage of the dog's natural reluctance to soil its sleeping place), it can also help to reduce separation anxiety, to prevent destructive behavior (such as chewing furniture), to keep a puppy away from potentially dangerous household items (i.e., poisons, electrical wires, etc.), and to serve as a mobile indoor dog house which can be moved from room to room whenever necessary.
