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

I NEED YOUR HELP!

We have been encouraging natural pet foods for 18 years.
We have been looking for a quality brand to sell on the website
and we think we've found it. The ingredients are excellent and
they ship from the warehouse with shipping included if your order
is over $8. That's a good deal. The brand we're considering
is Flint River Ranch.

Since you are all pet lovers, I need some feedback on this.
This business is our only income, so we're excited about the
opportunity for increased revenue, but input has always been
important to us so we meet the needs of our website visitors
and customers.

Thanks!
Donna

WHEN YOUR PET HAS DIARRHEA

"Diarrhea is one of the most common medical symptoms of cats and dogs," says
Dr. Sheila McCullough, veterinarian at the University of Illinois College of
Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital. "An owner's first reaction to
diarrhea should be to note when it started, how often it is happening, how
much your pet is straining to defecate, and what the character of the
diarrhea is--bloody, black, mucous-like, or otherwise. In addition, you
should try to recall unusual items that your pet may have eaten."

** SUCCESS STORY **

This was run before over a year ago, but with the chilly
months, pets suffering with arthritis touch our hearts
most readily, so I hope this will be of benefit to many.

ARTHRITIS "Pooch was showing all the common signs of arthritis that dogs
have and it seemed to hurt the family more than her. A friend told me she
had used GLUCOSAMINE and ALFALFA for the problem in her dog and he was again
running around and zipping up and down the stairs like a puppy. We wanted to
do all we could to help her, so we ordered some. We noticed improvement in a
couple of weeks and now months later she's doing just like our friend's dog.
Natural alternatives work!" Mrs. Aines

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **

STAND ON YOUR "NO"!

One of the hardest things to do with a new puppy is to stick to the matter
that "no" means "no!" It doesn't matter how many times you have to repeat
it, NEVER give in! If you do, you are teaching the dog that if he disobeys
enough he will get what he wants. We've all seen those dogs.....so you may
get the love of your dog, but you won't get the love from people around you
with an unruly dog. STAND FIRM! When the dog "wins" you are also lowering
your self from the Alpha dog, or pack leader, and giving him opportunity to
try for that position.

FERAL CATS

colony of feral cats for the past year, but now the landlord says they have
to go. For answers to these dilemmas--and for comprehensive information on
any and every feral cat-related issue--go no further than
http://www.alleycat.org. You'll find information on trap/neuter/release,
