** A NOTE FROM DONNA **

Spring has been lovely here in Virginia. We've been working in the dirt and
adding things to feed the wildlife/birds/butterflies on this acre of ours.
It is fun to know you can contribute to the life of other living things.

We'll be gone Friday through Sunday for a trip down to Abingdon, VA, for The
Nature Conservancy's Annual Meeting. There will be conservation workshops
and hikes and even an evening walk through this historic town with a
storyteller. This section of the country called Clinch Valley is one of the
most biodiverse areas with the most endangered species. It is under
protection of The Nature Conservancy and it will be a real treat to get to
see the area. My maiden name is Powell and there is a river there by that
name. It may feel just like "home." :-)

So, don't wait till the weekend to ask questions. Ask now!

Have a great week!
Donna

** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **

This really has more to do with our health more than a
dog's, but I thought it was such great advice and
really cute!

IF A DOG WERE YOUR TEACHER
From: http://www.topica.com/tipworld - Dog Training

Think about what you could learn from your dog:

- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
- When it's in }our best interest, practice obedience.
- Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
- Take naps and stretch before rising.
- Run, romp, and play daily.
- Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
- Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
- On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
- On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
- When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
- No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt
thing and pout, run right back and make friends.
- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
- Be loyal.
- Never pretend to be something you're not.
- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

And MOST OF all...
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle
them gently.

CALM ANIMALS with ESSENTIAL OIL MISTS

"We use an essential oil blend at The
Animal Institute called "Peace and Calming. " We mist the animal with this
blend and within a few minutes you notice a difference. We work on a lot of
upset and nervous type animals and I wouldn't be without this." Cindy

** HEALTH FOOD FOR PETS **

Health food for pets? Of course! If you believe that
what you eat makes a difference in "your" health,
then surely you can see why pets are getting so many
of the diseases of humans. What they use for pet
food is disgusting! It can't be food when you think
about the price you pay for it. Real food is essential
for good health in pets. We switched over 20 years
ago and have rarely had a vet bill. Healthy eating
produces a healthy animal. They also eat so much less
when they eat real food. Try the difference! Flint
River Ranch Pet Foods are 100% Guaranteed!

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **

CATS ON THE KEYBOARD

If this is a behavior problem that is affecting your household, you will be
surely surprised to know there is now software that makes the computer
ignore the gibberish that tabby types. Yes, it IS for REAL! It's a long
url, so you may have to cut and paste it into the browser.
