** A NOTE FROM RANDAL **
Hello Everyone,
We have been busy changing the appearance of our website. We hope you like the
changes. Also, we hope you will take advantage of the contest mentioned above.
We want our site to meet your needs and we felt asking you to help design the
color scheme would be part of that process.
It has turned cold here in Virginia, I wonder if there will be any more warm days
or if winter has officially arrived. Wherever you are, we hope you are having
a great year and your pets are benefitting from the information in this ezine.
Thanks for your continued readership and support!
Until next time!
Randal

** HEALTH/HERBAL INFO **
EPILEPSY IN DOGS
This site
has a lot of information on canine epilepsy. Many topics and quite a bit of content.
If you know somebody with an epileptic dog, please be sure to share it with them.
Nutritional supplements to help the nervous system are important with this problem.

**TRAINING TIP**
ESTABLISH REGULAR EATING ROUTINE
As I'm fond of saying, "what goes in must come out". To help you figure
out the best times to get your dog to go to the bathroom it's important to feed
your dog at the same times every day. This is the ideal time to practice the housebreaking
lessons. For your dog's comfort it's also a good idea to feed your dog in the
same place every day, a place that they will identify as their eating spot. With
your puppy, there's a very short time between eating and eliminating. Figure around
15 - 20 minutes. When feeding your dog, give her 15-20 minutes and then pick up
the uneaten portion (if any). This will also teach your dog to eat when fed. Again,
these rules can be relaxed once your dog is housebroken but for now it's key to
establish a routine.

** BEHAVIORAL/EMOTIONAL TIP **
DOGS - RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE IMPROVED!
A great site
to give to new adoptive parents, and perhaps to help current frustrated pet parents
salvage their relationships with their pets! It has information on puppies and
seniors as well.
CATS - DRAPE/CURTAIN CLIMBING
If possible, use tension rods instead of drilled into the wall rods. The tension
rods will simply fall down on top of the cat if it tries to climb them. Otherwise,
take the drapes off the hooks and thread them back up with thread just barely
strong enough to hold them up. When the cat climbs up, the drapes will fall down
on it (be sure that the hooks aren't around to potentially injure the cat). After
the drapes have remained up for some time, re-hook them. These methods have the
advantage of working whether you're home or not.
Vertical blinds can work very well; cats cannot climb up them, cannot shred them,
cannot shed on them, cannot be bent the way horizontal blinds. It is furthermore
easy for cats to push them aside to look outside. Vertical blinds are usually
vertical strips of plastic, but they can also come covered with different fabrics
to match your decor. These kinds are still pretty indestructible.
