A NOTE FROM RANDAL
******************

Hi Everyone,

This weekend we volunteered for a local no kill shelter called "Caring for
Creatures." This is the one of the organizations that we contribute 10% of
our pet food profits (that come off of our healthypetcorner.com site) to.
You can read more about them at http://www.caringforcreatures.com href="http://www.caringforcreatures.com"> Caring for Creatures

While we were there they dedicated a new cattery that was just built and
inside they had a special desert for all who dared to try. It was called
kitty litter cake. For a picture worth a thousand words and the recipe you can go here

I ate some, will you?

Here is a joke I thought you might like from: Pastor Tim's CleanLaugh List

*************

For months Bill had been Lynn's devoted admirer. Now, at long last, he had
collected up sufficient courage to ask her the most momentous of all
questions.

"There are quite a lot of advantages to being a bachelor," Bill began, "but
there comes a time when one longs for the companionship of another being, a
being who will regard one as perfect, as an idol; whom one can treat as
one's absolute own; who will be kind and faithful when times are hard; who
will share one's joys and sorrows."

To his delight, Bill saw a sympathetic gleam in Lynn's eyes. Then she
nodded in agreement. Finally, Lynn responded,

"I think it's a great idea! Can I help you choose which puppy to buy?"

*************

Hope you have a great remainder of the month. Thanks for all the sharing
you do.

Until next time,

Randal

K-STATE VET GIVES INSIGHT, ADVICE ON PET KIDNEY FAILURE

MANHATTAN -- If your pet is getting older, you may want to talk to your
veterinarian about kidney disease.

According to Dr. Greg Grauer, a professor and head of the department of
clinical sciences at Kansas State University's College of Veterinary
Medicine, kidney failure is often cited second only to cancer as the leading
cause of natural death in cats and dogs. Grauer has research interests in
kidney failure and has written many articles about the topic.

Kidneys are important because they excrete waste products, control the level
of water in the body by concentrating or diluting the urine, and produce
hormones such as the one that stimulates bone marrow to create red blood
cells, Grauer said. However, immune-mediated and degenerative diseases,
congenital diseases, kidney infection and kidney stones can cause
irreversible damage to the nephrons, which are the functional units of the
kidney. Kidney failure occurs when three-fourths of the nephrons of both
kidneys are not functioning.

DOG TRAINING/BEHAVIORAL HELP

TRAINING A DOG TO COME ON COMMAND

This is easiest with a puppy who does not have a lot of bad habits yet, but
with patience and persistence can be used with nearly any adult dog as well.
The philosophy behind this method is fairly basic.

EMAIL CLASS FOR FIRST-TIME CAT OWNERS

I'm excited to offer a brand new email class on Introduction to Cat Care -
Your New Cat. The class is "self-served," in that a new student will receive
Lesson 1 immediately upon enrolling. Then, every day, for a total of eight
days, a new lesson will arrive in your mailbox. You don't have to complete a
lesson every day, but can read them at your own pace. Subjects cover
intelligent food choices, avoiding litter box problems, and claw management,
to name a few.

CAT WITH CHIN ACNE / CAT WITH FLAKY COAT

"I was using a well know natural dog food and still one of my cats kept
scratching to the point of bleeding her little chin. I tried salves and
everything I could think of until someone mentioned I should change the pet
food to one without wheat, corn or dairy. I took their advice and switched
to Life's Abundance for cats and within less than a month she stopped
scratching her chin. It also helped her brother who always had a flaky coat
before and now has no more flakes. In fact, his coat looks better than
ever. Thanks Trilogy for manufacturing such a high quality pet food." Susan
Childs

GOOD NEWS PET STORY
*******************

HEARTWORMS GONE! DOG HAS SO MUCH ENERGY

"I took both Mya (the female with heartworms) and her pup, Pecos, in for
their yearly check up about 3 weeks ago with very happy results! The vet
did Mya's blood work to see (in his words), "How bad off she was," as we had
stopped the heartworm treatment with him because her heart had been so
inflamed. He did the first test and it came back negative! He was so
stunned, he came to the waiting area and told me, but said he was going to
run it a second time as he could not figure out what had happened. It came
back negative again! He wanted to know what had been going on and if we
were doing something on our own. I told him all I had been doing working
with your program. He was very astonished with the results and said she
looked very good for all she had been going through. So, she is now
negative for heartworms, has a lot more energy, and is doing so much better.
I really have to say thank you, Robin, for your help and I am so glad that I
was able to link up with you and find out about how well your dog had done.
It's just amazing how well this has turned out. It took a bit longer
because she had been so sick, but I felt so much better about giving her the
herbs versus going through the vet's treatment using the arsenic. I really
want to thank you for all your help! We've had a happy ending to what could
have been a sad one!" Michelle S. Mills
