Kathy spoke for Susan. “Yes! Charlie was my dog. Charlie is the one I came here to contact. He died two months ago, and I miss him very much.” I could hardly believe what I was hearing. I realized why I was having trouble identifying a person. It became obvious that the information was from the dog ! The dog was showing me things that he understood. “Charlie still sleeps with you at the end of the bed. Does that make sense?” “Yes. He would always come on the bed in the middle of the night. I would wake up and find his head on the pillow next to me.”

My girlfriend Skeeter Lynch and her husband Phil Gage used to sell certified organic chicken feed. Skeeter is quite a gal and spent oodles of time searching for just the right feed for her pampered chicks (which is where I got my chickens). Now, Michael and I have tried to cut back a time or two and purchased some organic feed from a different source but the girls just turn their noses up at it. This particular food is that good.

Did you know that cats are either right or left-handed, can run up to 31 miles per hour, that they like their food at room temperature (the temperature of freshly-killed prey), that they have a territory of 150 acres, that they only spend 30% of their time awake, and that each square inch of their coat contains 150,000 hairs? You do now. Here are more facts on cats. . .

Until such time as a vaccine is developed for canine influenza, a strong immune system will be your dog’s best defense against infection. For those of you who would like to be prepared, get a bottle of Pet Vaccinosis Nosode drops. These drops will help detox the negative aspects of all vaccines. The drops should be given orally for two weeks prior to vaccination and up to two weeks after being vaccinated. They can also be used for the treatment of many of the diseases that you are vaccinating for and as a substitute for vaccines.

Cats and dogs get infected with bots by eating rodents, rabbits, chipmunks and squirrels. Usually these critters are kind of slowed down because the larvae have migrated into their nervous system and they can’t get away as quickly so are easier to be caught. The problem is that when our pets eat these infected animals they can become infested by both the larvae of the fly AND they can also get weird bacterial infections from the rotting flesh that they’ve eaten.

Idaho Fish and Game cautions that hunters using dogs early in the bird seasons need to be careful about allowing their dogs to drink from algae-contaminated pools. In recent years, at least one hunting dog has died and others sickened after drinking from stagnant pools
