Prayer of the Day

Open Our Minds and Hearts

I pray that we may at all times keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma; that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings and our connectedness with the natural world; that we may become ever more filled with generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life. I pray that we may learn the peace that comes with forgiving and the strength we gain in loving; that we may learn to take nothing for granted in this life; that we may learn to see and understand with our hearts; that we may learn to join in our being.

- Jane Goodall

NEW THINGS COMING!

I've decided to start putting other things on Tasha's Blog ... inspiration type of things from her. Believe it or not, our furbabies are watching over us. I believe that they, like those human loved ones who have gone before us, aren't watching every second of every day (not that they have that sort of time thing in Paradise/Rainbow Bridge) but if we need either our human or furbabies at sometime in our life, they know and come to us.

Enjoy.

From the Daily Cat Tip

Up, up and away: A great toy for cats
by Kelly Modzelewski, Dog and Cat Writer

I was watching children play with a bubble machine the other day. Then, a dog came up and started chasing the bubbles around. I thought: "What great exercise!" and it dawned on me that it would work equally as well for cats. There are even bubble machines for pets! Or use a kid's bubble machine. And make sure to use non-toxic bubbles. You can also make your own solution with 2 cups non-toxic dishwashing liquid, 6 cups water, 3/4 cup white Karo syrup.

Kelly is a dog columnist and pet writer. She lives in the Boston-area with her three pit bulls and one neurotic cat.

A dream

My husband was telling me he had another one from Tasha. She usually comes in more of a "feeling" than actuality. He said she seemed to be in a rush ... he wanted to ask her questions but he did say that she "told" him that Max was not with her. That means he's not at Rainbow Bridge. He's still on this earth somewheres ... I like to think some other lucky family has him as he is such a sweetie!

AVMA feels it is Safe to Drug Meat Producing AnimalsThe AVMA letter to Congress is urging members to vote against H.R. 1549 and S. 619, a bill titled the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act. To the contrary, an independent commission consulted with national experts and concluded industrial farms routinely feed antibiotics to livestock that aren’t sick which can threaten human and pet health.http://www.truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/424/1/AVMA-feels-it-is-Safe-to-Drug-Meat-Producing-Animals/Page1.html
