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

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. Regarding our "Pets In The News" article, growing up my parents used to wonder if I thought they had a money tree. Thinking about the dog featured below perhaps he could help us find our individual money trees. Just a thought!

Actually, I never knew they could use dogs to sniff for the presence of dollar bills. Let me encourage you to read the short article below I think you will enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing our websites and ezines with your family and friends.

Until next time,

Randal

SUSPICIOUS MONEY FOUND BY SHERIFF'S DOG

An alert El Paso sheriff's deputy and a money-sniffing dog uncovered what turned out to be $1.8 million in suspicious cash Saturday morning on Interstate 10 eastbound near Sunland Park Drive, Sheriff's spokesman Rick Glancey said.

The dark blue, four-door Ford, registered in Mexico, was impeding traffic by driving slowly about 11:30 a.m., and when the deputy pulled the vehicle over, the driver became nervous, Glancey said. The driver consented to the search, and a dog, Remo, brought by Deputy Louis Almonte III, found the money in large speaker boxes. The money and the driver are in custody and under investigation, Glancey said.

HEARTWORM MEDICATIONS CAUSING DEATHS!

AN NBC investigation finds A new heartworm medication called ProHeart 6 has been linked to a number of dog deaths. Since it was approved in May 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received more than 5,000 reports of adverse reactions -- 491 of them deaths.

Now, the FDA is investigating.

Debra McMullen has other dogs now, but says none can take the place of Sassy, the Chihuahua who moved across the country with her. "She was my baby. I don't have children, so she was my baby," McMullen said.

After using monthly heartworm prevention tablets she sometimes forgot, McMullen asked her veterinarian about the six-month injection called ProHeart 6. She wondered if her 11-year-old dog was too old. "And he said, 'No, that shouldn't matter. She's fine.' And he gave her the shot and the very next day she started having breathing problems," McMullen said.

Two weeks later, Sassy was dead.

Chief was dead just days after his only ProHeart 6 injection, according to his owner. Eric Williams raised the 9-year-old Rottweiler from a pup. "For a completely healthy dog, in the space of three or four days, to go through what I saw Chief go through is not right," Williams said.

Heartguard, and Sentinel.

DOG TRAINING/BEHAVIORAL HELP

TRAINING YOUR DOG TO GREET VISITORS CALMLY
From Krista Mifflin, Your Guide to Dogs.

Sign up for my NewsletterAre people reluctant to come inside your home because it looks like they'll get slobbered, pounced, or sat on by your dog? Do your dogs love to greet a visitor with all the joy of meeting a new playmate? Does your dog defy gravity to get a good lick at a visitor's face? Even if you don't mind this behaviour, the odds are very good that your visitors do.

Curbing your dog's natural exuberance for greeting people enthusiastically is a fairly tough job, and you can not really do it alone. Sure, you can train your dog to greet your own return with sedate happiness, by simply refusing to acknowledge anything but a sitting dog. Walk in the door after an absense and ignore your dog until he or she has calmed down enough to sit properly and lavish praise upon her for doing so.

NEED HELP WITH A HYPER DOG?

This is our most popular story from working with animals at our shop:

We had a couple who used herbs and had a hyper Rottweiler that would race to the door to "greet" anybody that visited. With an in-home business and customers picking up orders, this family needed some calming herbs for the dog. They began giving him VALERIAN ROOT and in about a week, the dog knew he needed it. Anytime they would grab a bottle of herbs, whether for themselves or him, the dog would come running and beg for a capsule. Most pets' instincts are still tuned in to nature. If you've got a hyper cat or dog, try Valerian Root. http://www.theherbsplace.com/valerian.html

CAT TRAINING/BEHAVIORAL HELP
***************************

WHY DOES MY CAT KNEAD MY LAP WITH ITS FRONT PAWS?

Sometimes we call it kneading, or trampling, or pitty-patting, but it means the same thing: our cat jumps on our lap and starts pressing down first with one front paw and then with the other. This kneading is rhythmic, slow and deliberate, accompanied by purring. After a while, our cat gets really into this and begins to bring the claws into the act. Ouch! Now we shoo the cat away. Our cat walks off upset by this sudden rebuff. What's going on here?

To understand what our cat is doing, we have to understand what kittens do when they nurse. When a kitten suckles, it will knead its mother's stomach with its tiny paws to stimulate the milk flow. Sometimes kittens will salivate a little in anticipation (and sometimes adult cats will do a little drooling while they knead us). This "milk-kneading" (as it is called) is done at a slow pace of about 1 stroke every 2 seconds. And the little kitten purrs loudly while kneading.

What appears to happen when we sit down is that we look relaxed to our cat, signaling to him or her to hop up and start the milk-kneading activity. Our cat reverts to kittenhood and happily starts treading.

When we suddenly make our cat get off our lap in the middle of this activity, our cat is surprised and disconcerted because the mother cat didn't push her kittens away like that!

Next time you sit down and your cat looks eager to hop in your lap, have a towel or throw ready to put over your legs. That way your cat can really enjoy a session of kneading, feel happy and content to be with you, and you don't have to worry about the claw pricks.

Comments on Soothing Mist from a customer:

"My dog has had a problem with compulsively chewing his back near his tail. I've tried several things and they don't seem to work for long. I saw Soothing Mist on Healthy Pet Corner's site and decided to give it a try. The herbs in it sounded very soothing and healing. I added some Tea Tree Oil because I like to deter fleas. I've used a spray of Lavender and Tea Tree to prevent fleas for years, but he always ran from me when I wanted to spray him. When I get the bottle of Soothing Mist, he comes to me and sits still, so I think he knows it's helping him. I've been using it on my cat that has skin issues also and it's been doing good." Robin
