** A NOTE FROM DONNA **

Less than a year ago there were 44 greyhound racing tracks operating in 15
states, but if the folks at Grey2K USA have their way, the cruel sport
will be banned nationwide.

To find out more about this Somerville, MA-based group and its mission, stop
by http://www.grey2kusa.org.
Greyho}nd Industry Info

The site features the lowdown on the industry, a great FAQ that details what
happens to the dogs after the finish line, and what you can do to help.

Have a fun with your critters! They truly make our life some days.

MITES

"I've had an ongoing problem with skin mites on the ears of one of my

drops of oil] and smothered her ears with it. I noticed a difference within
48 hours and have done it a second time, and her ears are looking about 200%
better." Barb

DOG FIGHTS

To a caring dog owner, having their dog bitten is
almost as traumatic to them as being bitten themselves.
Many fights between dogs are avoidable, but once
started they are very difficult to break up. Fights often
take place when dogs are allowed to roam free, walked
off a leash, or are able to rush out at other dogs passing
their home. Read more to know what you can to do
to prevent or break up a dog fight.
