NUTRITION EMERGANCY

RESUCE ME! RESCUE ME! RESUCE ME!

The inner us is wanting to have good health.  With everything else going on in our lives, it is a cry easy to ignore.

But, with Herbalife, good health is a lot easier to obtain than we think.  Easier on the purse strings than we think too.

The Top Nutritionalists in the field are on Herbalife's side.  They are the 'Go To' people in the field of nutrition and good health.  Other health aids and weight loss crazes copy Herbalife in many ways.  Others can not lay claim to the good nutrition and overall well being that Herbalife provides.

Herbalife is in 70 countries.  Effecting millions of lives for overall well being and good health.  Not only that, many of the Herbalife doctors have their patients on Herbalife because it is that affectives for a person's good health.

Having good health does not mean we have to deprive ourselves of this here and that there.  We can have hamburgers or steaks.  We can have Italian food, pizza and spaghetti.  Mexican food and potato salad.  We can have ice cream too.

vven the American Cancer Society states:  One-third of all cancer deaths could be prevented with proper diet and exercies.  Herbalife's Nobel Peace Prize winner is also an American Cancer Society aware recipient, Dr. Lou Ignarro.

Herblife, is a lot like having ten apples a day instead of one.  And it is easy too.

Travel and the Family Pet

As a child, do you remember what traveling with the family dog was like? Maybe you have recent experiences.

The dog roaming from one lap to another. The dog getting in the driver's lap. Either to cuddle up there or to look out that window. Needing to stop so the dog could go pee. The potty walk, the water stop.


On one camping excursion, It began to rain and we were not near camp. The wet dog was in the car with the rest of us wet ones. Good thing he was a dachshund. The dog smelt the worst. No telling what he had rolled in. Whatever it was, it stunk worse on that wet dog. On top of that, he has eaten something that did not agree with him. He threw up and not in one spot either.



The other non-camping trips. I can remember my parents calling ahead for reservations. Whether or not the hotel would accept a dog. Many hotels, in the '60's and '70's would not take dogs. Or, a hotel charged extra for a dog. It was like asking for a roll away and being charged for that.



Dad, would ask if the dog could stay home. They could get someone to stop and take care of our dog. Mom, would roll her eyes and give him that seething look.



Through any trip, the dog got in Dad's lap or to look out the driver's window. Seemed like this always happened while Dad was in heavy traffic, bad weather or on a bad road. Mom just sitting there, not offering any help. That's when Dad, would roll his eyes.



The dog even went to Knots Berry Farm and Disneyland just as many times as I had been as a child. The leash, the food, Dad carrying the dog, Dad sitting on a bench with the dog. Because he was tired of standing in line or carrying the dog all over the place.



If we didn't take the dog with us, the maid could not clean our room. Because the dog would not let them in the room. There was the time the dog ate Mom's favorite sandals. If the dog got left behind, there was always the poop to clean up and the spot in the carpet to wash out.



Throughout my life, I have observed others traveling with their babies. Often thinking, "That's like going anywhere with our dog. It's hard to tell". The first time I thought that, I was about seven. That thought popped into my mind every time I noticed someone traveling with a baby.

(I'm sure many mothers would challenge that .)



Now days, traveling with a baby is easier. And so is traveling or not, with a dog is easier. There are even strollers for dogs too. Or, to leave your dog at the vets office or a dog sitter. There are doggy hotels and dog walkers. Locating dog collars, crates and food and water storage that collapse to make packing for the family dog 50% better and easier for the family/packer. 'Way" much easier that it once was.

Today, the advantage of information and products available to dog owners is enormous. From information to browse, to call about, to easy buying access. There is a wide range of products available, especially on the Internet. Ordering from the Internet is easy and simple.

When ordering dog products (or anything else for that matter) off the Internet, read their policies. Make sure that somewhere in their information, it is stipulated that, "information is secure with us, we do not sell or give your information to anyone else for any reason." Some kind of words to that point.

Any site, that has https, is a secure site too. One can think of the 's' as 'security'. A site with the 's' has gone the extra mile to invest in a secure site. Which can be costly too. That is why it is important to make sure that your information is Safe with any site.

I find more ideas on the Internet. I can find do products, check prices out and availability much easier than stumbling around and starring in a store. And I don't have a clerk trying to help me, nor am I having to turn them away. Seems easier for me, to make a better decision.

When it comes to my dogs ( I have 4 wonderful strays), I need to think about weight and measurements. Not all products in a store show this. The store products either don't fit or one store will have this, another that.

I find better dog products, at better prices, in estores that are not Big Name stores. Even in the estore side of a Big Name Store, there are way too many selections to sift through. Staying away from the Big Name estores. It is easier to walk through the other estores and look at their products. Easier to find a good price and add it to my cart.

When comparing my dog product to the Big Name estore, I find I have a more appropriate product at a better price. With less time and less foot work too. I always feel satisfied with this.

There is also important travel information pertaining to traveling with your dog. If by car, boat, RV, or on airplanes. There are sites that provide this information for you and the benefit of your dog. Many sites have good tips to offer and even inform the reader of each airline company's regulations, when boarding with your dog. (Depending on the size of your dog, depends on where your dog can stay in the plane.) There is information about which hotels and campgrounds accept dogs.

It was interesting to find just how many hotels an campgrounds will not accept dogs. Yet most hotels would rather have the dog verse the child. (Doesn't say to much for children's behavior does it?)

There are improved pet carriers, crate products, even harnesses that attach to a seat buckle. Dog products that are adjustable to all kinds of cars to make a vehicle dog friendly and comfortable. Cots, food and water provisions. Toys for the vehicles, toys for the trip, toys for at home. Guess there is something out there for almost any need/want a person could think of.

I said 'almost'. There is no way, that I have a handle on what a person could think of or want for their dog and why. There might be someone out there who needs a pet product for a specific reason and want.

For me, I like and care about dogs. I have learned a lot about dogs and the good products for them. Learned from browsing the Internet. At one point, I thought I knew a lot about dogs. I grew up with animals. The Internet has broadened what I once thought I knew. And showed me that there was way more out there to learn. It I ever have a question, I go to my browser and find a good answer.

Being a dog lover and one who likes animals a lot, I joined forces and we started our own estore. For information about our store, visit us at http://www.ourdawghouse.com/.

For other areas to browse, try these:
http://www.petswelcome.com/ This site has much travel information and good tips. Not only is there information here on which hotels accept dogs, but also, which B&B's, campgrounds and ski areas accept dogs. Also on crate tips.
http://www.gogreendogbeds.com/ For the 'Green' dog owner. There are wonderful dog products for anyone shopping for dog products. With some interesting blogs about particular dogs and other tips. Spend some time at this estore.
http://www.wonderdogs.bc.ca/ This is a novelty information. Bob Kersen and his Wonder Dogs perform with amazing strength and fun. Watch the videos. Dog training is also available, to actually become a dog trainer yourself.
http://www.dockdogs.com/ This is another site with fun videos of dogs performing. Of all sizes and years of age. Dogs perform, jumping into a huge pool of water. They cover lots of footage sailing through the air. The site also shows when and where the next competitions will be. Offering order forms as well.

There are probably a dozen more sites I could share. Like I said, "I have learned a lot" on the Internet just browsing around through dog things. Guess I am kind of interested in the subject.

Most of us, when it comes to our family dog, we treat him as a part of our family. His needs become like the rest of our family. We do the best we can if not better to provide for our family members and their welfare.

The traveling days I used to know, of traveling with the family dog, has sure changed. For the better in many ways. Improved ways so the family dog is not walking over our toes, the gas pedal, in and out of our laps in an effort to get comfortable. The dog can stay safely in a hotel room and the hotel maid can come in the room too. No more poop or pee spots to have to clean up. No more chewed up sandals.

the dawg house

I found this fascinating quote today:

Coming around the tree, there was an open field of wild flowers and grass. In the middle of it all, was a herd of deer grazing in the middle of it. The bucks, does and fawns. Meandering, not even bothered by the appearance of Dad and me coming around a big ol' tree. They looked up at us, an just dropped their heads back to the ground.Turtle, the dawg house, Mar 2009

You should read the whole article.

Are you one of the millions who ooh and ahh at the cute and wonderful and funny pictures of dogs or cats? Or any animal for that matter. Do you laugh or smile (or both) at the videos on 'You Tube' or 'Americas Funniest Home Videos' when they show an animal doing something hysterically bizarre?

Yes, I join in with the millions around the world, who coo and delight in the amazing things an animal does innocently or trained to do. It's euphoric. Yes, I have 'animalosis'.

Since very small, I have been drawn to the animal world. Animals of all kinds. From elephants and monkeys to my dog and everyone else's dog.

Even though I am much older now, I can still remember sites and sounds. Of times, witnessing what others rarely see.

I say rarely, there have probably been several thousand who have seen and done much of the same as I have. In comparison to the overall of us, we probably all recall our own rare moments of animalosis.

We did a lot of camping growing up. On a fishing trip, in the mountains, Dad an I were moving upstream in early morning. We had to move away from the stream. It was either that or get into the fast flowing, deep stream. It was too early to get wet and the water was ice cold plus. And it more than likely would have swept even my 6'1" Father also.

Coming around the tree, there was an open field of wild flowers and grass. In the middle of it all, was a herd of deer grazing in the middle of it. The bucks, does and fawns. Meandering, not even bothered by the appearance of Dad and me coming around a big ol' tree. They looked up at us, an just dropped their heads back to the ground.

Dad immediately stood still and I followed suit. I can still hear the early morning silence, the stream, and the sound of the herd slowly moving through the grass and their quiet chewing. I was even more amazed at their being still at our presence. Not the usual bolt and run action one usually encounters coming upon deer in the wild.

Even more amazed, when the herd finished and just meandered back into their neck of the woods. A few fawns had a race, to see who could get there first. They leaped and frolicked along the way. I looked up at my father and he was smiling and silently chuckling too.

We both had a great fishing day. Without realizing it, we had over-caught our limit. And were lucky that the others had not caught their limit. We all came out even. Dad caught the biggest fish. A native brown trout, 13" long and good ol' fat. A granddaddy. All day, I had the biggest one, of 12 1/2". Until Dad took one more throw at the last minute. It was a good fight on the line too.

I never really thought that was the highlight of our day though. In later years, I was probably 26. Around a campfire, Dad and I recalled the moment of fishing some 20 years earlier. The entire recollection was of coming upon the open field and the herd. Our eyes sparkled, smiles from ear to ear. As if the moment had happened that very morning.

Another moment, was at the San Diego Zoo when I was about 5 years old. Talk about an excited child. I wasn't out of hand. Even my parents would tell how wild eyed and full of wonderment I was there. I was so full of it I couldn't talk and my eyes were everywhere.

I remember the sites and sounds of them. This or that animal looking back at me like eye to eye. The enormous size of them. Of course at five, everything and everyone is enormous.

The animals look back, stare back at the multitudes. I swear, they stare back with as much curiousness as we do at them. That I was that day.

The biggest highlight of the day! The thrill still tingles in me today. I got to ride the tortoise!!!

Ever since then, when I hear or see anything written about tortoises...I read it, I listen, I watch. And still get a tingling sensation, the thrill of being able to ride the tortoise that day some forty years ago.

Aside from the many outings and animal experiences along the way, I have had my own dogs. And wonderful, funny, serious, mostly loving moments with them all. Considering that is a span that covers about forty years, there are a few thousand animal stories to share. Mostly I remember them with great joy in my heart and a smile on my face. I can even remember the sound of every ones bark.

Along with my memories, there are thousands of pictures of them all. Doing something wonderful, with that individual, wonderful dog expression of theirs. There are many pictures, with me sitting in the middle, holding onto one or two.

Rarely, have I just had one. Usually there was another. A cat, cats too. For the last nine years, there have been no less than three dogs. Four max. And all strays.

My husband and I are Poop Rich. He hates it when I say that. Probably because he doesn't like cleaning it up. Then again, he couldn't agree more. (At least, he doesn't clean it up alone.)

I am familiar with each of their barks. When it's serious or just another dog prowling around. When they are playing or want inside. I even know what time the garbage man is coming before he even turns down the alley.

They look at us with those big puppy dog eyes, with love. Because they know they get loved back. Each and every one of them, doesn't like to be scolded. You would think we beat them the way they cower around you. This really gets to me. They've never been beaten. They cower and I feel guilty and hurt.

But we love on each other soon thereafter, they get their butts rubbed and necks hugged. And they look up with that sweet, puppy dog grin, with smiles in their eyes. I've even fallen asleep next to them when I get down to pet them before bed. (My husband likes to tell this one.)

Last year, we rescued a lost pup. The vet and I decided she was a little over two months or so. And she has been sweet, loving, funny and the biggest Brat we have had so far. She has been the only chewer we have ever had. I have never had a dog that was a chewer before, ever. Can't wait until she grows out of that.

She is also, the first digger we have ever had. Our dogs have dug holes to stay cooler before. But NEVER just to dig a hole.

One has to be careful walking out into their side of the yard. There may be a hole for your foot to trip on! She dug one up right in front of the step into the yard. Talk about grateful that I saw that before I put my big foot in it. That was a nose plant waiting to happen!

As I was packing dirt back into the hole and scolding her, she just looked at me, "Mom, you don't understand, it's fun to play in the dirt. Can't wait 'til it's bug season. Just think of all the creepy things I can look for and chase in the grass. And the Worms! They will be so much fun to dig after."

She has been reprimanded, scolded while digging her paws into the ground. She's been spanked, (Spanked, not beaten) and even made to sit there and stare at her hole. The sitting and stare thing, I was almost a believer in this one. She did not dig a hole for four months. Until...

Yep, she dug one last week. Not only one but another one the next day. Back to square one.

She's lucky I have animalosis!

Even if I didn't she would have a place in my heart just like the others know too.

There are many people who take in strays and adopt them. Giving a good, loving home to an animal. There are thousands of organizations promoting saving a pet. Almost every region has an adopt a pet program. From dogs and cats to horses, goats...etc...

Any time some TV program has animals on to promote the animal adoption plan, my heart sings for how cute and adorable they are. I think, "what a great pet this would make, this breed is really good with children, this breed is great of the outdoors", or "bet that big ol' dog will be a great dog and grow up 'n think he's a lap dog and will try to be one too."

Every time Bonnie Hunt has stray dogs for adoption, all the dogs that have been on her show, I just cuddle right along with them and wish we lived on a farm. I'd have thousands of dog runs and dog houses and kennel protections. And a huge barn for feed, a tack room with collars and leashes of all kinds.

I'd be one happy ol' fart!!!!! And one happy shit shoveler!!! Boy, would I be Poop Rich then!
