A Note From Randal
******************

Hello Everyone,

Donna and I just attended the first annual Green Festival held in Washington, DC. The entire conference is about having less of a consumptive footprint as we make decisions in our everyday lives.

In researching the content for this ezine I ran across a similar approach with our pets on the Humane Society of the United State's website. I was amazed to see the correlation and I encourage you to take the quiz to determine what if any thing you can improve.

We are forever grateful with how you continue to share our sites and ezines with your family and friends.

Until next time,

Randal

What's Your "Pawprint" for a Humane Lifestyle?

Every day, by the choices you make, you leave a mark on the earth, and on the animals who share our world. So what's the size of your Humane Living Pawprint? Are you making the kinds of lifestyle choices—from minor to major—that can make life better not just for you, but for animals and our planet?

As part of The Humane Society of the United States' 50th anniversary celebration, they've come up with a quick and easy way to find out! Just take the Humane Living Pawprint quiz.

At the end of the quiz, you'll get your own personal Pawprint evaluation. And you'll be directed to useful information about everything from what labels to look for when you shop for food, to what to think about when you buy shampoo, to how to be a better friend to your animal companions.

But don't stop with taking the quiz. Please pass it on to friends, family, and co-workers, so others can see how they measure up. And pick one, or a few, areas where you think you can make changes in your own life—then come back and take the quiz again to see what a difference you've made, even in a few short weeks.

How to Nurture a Non-Toxic Yard That's Safe for Pets

Many people who garden don't put together the chemicals they put in the yard with the little paws and feet that walk the same areas or those lips that like to nibble on grass and plants when you're not looking.

Choosing perennials and native plants that require little care and nurturing is a good first step to keeping the garden safer and also giving yourself more time for other things.

If you want your pets consider that the outdoor time for your pet in a chemically drenched yard can be dangerous to its health. Cancer risk is significantly greater for domestic pets in homes where pesticides are regularly applied to the lawn. Studies show that chemical herbicides applied to lawns get tracked inside and become household dust, breathed by all inhabitants.

How do you keep the garden looking good and pets [and children] healthy? Trade in the chemicals for easy and inexpensive alternatives. Read this personal article by Laine Bergeson for some tips, links and even a forum for questions:

Want Optimum Health For Your Pet?

Our bodies run on nutrients and enzymes. We can't be well without them. Read this article about pet foods and make the choice after you compare popular pet food brands. http://www.healthypetcorner.com/petdiet.html

Dog Training/Behavioral Help

Stop Leash Pulling - by Krista Mifflin, Your Guide to Dogs.

Tug, tug, yank, yank "Come ON I want to go THAT way!" Yank, yank
Is this a familiar scenario? As long as you (and by association, your dog on the other end of the leash) are moving, your dog is fairly content, but stop for just one moment's of conversation and you have to endure the above struggle and accompanying sounds worthy of a strangler movie. Training your dog to stop pulling on a leash is a frustrating process, especially when your dog has a considerable weight (and leverage) on him.

First of all, make sure you are using the right equipment. Retractable leads are useless on larger dogs and teach nothing on smaller dogs. This is my opinion: I think they are utterly useless and a waste of money as far as training goes.

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

Pets May Benefit From Atkins Diet Says Australian Vet

Jennifer Lopez swears by it, and now your overweight pet could benefit from the same low-carb diet that keeps the diva in top shape.

An Australian vet says the Atkins diet could work wonders for podgy canines and felines.

Dr Ian Billinghurst believes modern high-carbohydrate, high-sugar diets are not only bad for humans but are leading to an increase in obesity and related diseases in our pets.

Billinghurst said modern pet foods - particularly processed dry biscuits - were too high in carbohydrates and grains, which led to an increase in cholesterol-associated problems.
