“The patented FURminator deShedding Tool quickly and easily removes (it doesn’t cut, it removes) the loose, dead, undercoat hair that’s the underlying source of a pet owners major complaint – shedding and the allergies and cleanliness problems associated with it. The unique stainless steel edge grabs the texture of the undercoat and removes it while gliding through and not damaging the topcoat.”
Not everyone that gets a new pup knows what they are going to call it in the first few seconds. It may take days, weeks, months even. It’s like picking a name for your child. It has to be just perfect for both you and the dog being named. So here’s a few that might spark some ideas
K9cuisine.com promises free premium dog food for President-Elect Obama’s new dog at the white house.
Full Release
Paris, Illinois- President-elect Barack Obama is known for being high tech, not wanting to give up his BlackBerry at the White House, and for being healthy, wanting a hypoallergenic dog for his daughters. The Obama’s have narrowed down their choice for the new First Dog and are looking in Washington-area shelters. Sasha and Malia will soon be the proud owners of either a Labradoodle or a Portuguese Water Dog. Anthony Holloway, owner of K9Cuisine.com, wants the First Family Dog to have premium dog food that is conveniently delivered to the White House doorstep.
K9Cuisine.com, an online pet store based in Paris, Illinois, offers pet food that has no gluten, soy, corn or wheat. “I want to reach out to my former Illinoisans’ future pooch by sending the best quality food so the Obama family dog can live a long, healthy life in the nation’s capital,” says Holloway. The K9Cuisine CEO says, “First we have to figure out how free shipping and delivery is handled at the secure White House, and then we hope the Obama’s will accept our offer of yummy food when they get their new dog.”

LEASH: A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your person where you want him/her to go.
DOG BED: Any soft, clean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room.
DROOL: A liquid which, when combined with sad eyes, forces humans to give you their food. To do this properly you must sit as close as you can and get the drool on the human.
SNIFF: A social custom used to greet other dogs, similar to the human exchange of business cards.
GARBAGE CAN: A container which your neighbors put out once a week to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.
BICYCLES: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards. The person then swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.
DEAFNESS: This is a malady which affects dogs when their person wants them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction, or lying down.
THUNDER: This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly, and following at their heels.
WASTEBASKET: This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes, and old candy wrappers. It is important to evenly distribute its contents throughout the house before your person comes home.
BATH : If you find something especially good to roll in, humans get jealous, and they use this degrading form of torture to get even. Be sure to shake only when next to a person or a piece of furniture.
LEAN: Every good dog’s response to the command “sit!,” especially if your person is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black-tie events.
BUMP: The best way to get your human’s attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
GOOSE BUMP: A maneuver to use as a last resort when the regular bump doesn’t get the attention you require … especially effective when combined with the sniff. See above.
CHILDREN: Short humans of optimal petting height. Standing close to one assures some good petting. When running, they are good to chase. If they fall down, they are comfortable to sit on.
LOVE: A feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you’re lucky, a human will love you in return.

“Ebony is under veterinary care for the above conditions for the last 1 1/2 years and is unable to lose the weight on her present diet of 1 cup ORIJEN Adult Dog Food mixed with 1 cup tri colored cabbage and 1/2 cup of fat free organic low sodium chicken broth from Trader Joe`s along with her medication 2x daily. Now she is only allowed 1/2 this ration and they want her to be fed with Purina OM. I have previously tried Purina OM and she actually gained a pound, not to mention that this food appears to be low quality and I do not feel right, feeding it to her. It is very expensive and judging from the ingredients downright unhealthy. Can you recommend a quality food that would allow her to lose the weight she needs to? I do not give her treats and weather permitting take her to the off leash dog park for her excersise.”
Thank you Renate Starr
Answer:
“Ebony sounds like a dog who would thrive on a totally raw dog food diet. Dogs who are overweight tend to lose weight by eating raw food. The book I recommend is called “Natural Nutrition for Dogs and Cats” by Kymthy Schultz. You can get it at Amazon.com or other book stores. It is very short and readable in one or two nights.
Having said that, homeopathy is also indicated. I tend to look at the situation like a huge iceberg. The part that is sticking up are the symptoms we see and underneath is a *huge* conglomeration of maybe previously unexpressed symptoms that are just waiting to surface. Our goal is to dissolve the entire iceberg. Diet alone, while being extremely helpful, does not do that. Diet raises the water level on the iceberg, which is extremely helpful, but if the diet is returned to “normal”, the water level returns to it’s previous level and the symptoms return. The only way I know of to start dissolving the iceberg that has accumulated from many generations of poor quality food, over vaccination, and over drugging… is with homeopathy.”
As we enter the new year of 2009, let’s think about the goals we set for ourselves.
Thought about them? Okay, now how many of those goals had anything to do with your dogs?
Try making it a habit to play with them a bit more each day, or going on a daily walk/run if you already don’t. Your pets will love the attention, and you’ll feel great about connecting with them!
