Just read following atticus by Tom Ryan. What a wonderful read. This was one special, amazing dog. the breeder, Paige, is integral to the story from beginning to end. this dog never wore a collar or leash and was perfectly behaved. I am not recommending this for every dog. This book shows how it could [...]
I am reading a new book that comes straight from the heart, and especially would encourage young people (and any age) to volunteer in shelters, even one day a month. do Unto Animals by Tracey Stewart. While I am still in the "pet" section, she is also covering Backyard wildlife and farm animals. Many of [...]
Just read a great book from the library - only wish he had holistic options in his bag of tricks. Vint Virga is a veterinary behaviorist who has treated animals from pets to zoos and mostly focuses on the animal/person interaction from the larger picture of love of all life. We give. They give. We [...]
I love this book - Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home by rupert sheldrake. Many of our companions know exactly where we are and other worry and do not know where we are. These are stories and even studies about those dogs who, regardless of where in the world their owners are, become alert when they take the [...]
Just finished a must read book. Beautiful Jim Key - the Lost History of a horse and a man who changed the World by Mim Eichler Rivas. I cannot believe I never heard of this horse. At the turn of the century his "sentience" empowered millions of school children and adults to begin treating animals [...]
Sitting here in Calgary on a 160 acre farm with rescued horses, looking at the Canadian Rockies I see a book - Beautiful Jim Key by Mim Eichler Rivas. Quick skim before I get back to work shows this is a book well worth reading. Jim Key was a horse who apparently was as smart and [...]

Victoria Stilwell, in the November 2011 issue of Bark Magazine says that a survey showed that 90% of the dogs in the US have no formal behavior and obedience training. One of the main reasons dogs are returned to shelters, and a common question for me is behavior issues for cats and dogs. Whole Dog [...]
November was National Pet Diabetes Month. It is estimated that 45 % of dogs and 58% of cats are overweight, a leading cause of diabetes. Feeding a raw meat diet, using holistic approaches, tracking weight in the Healthy Animal's Journal and exercising cats and dogs appropriately go a long way to managing weight. Decreasing vaccines [...]
