Hard to believe isn’t it? When I first read about this and saw the photos, I was shocked and disgusted. When I was writing about the treatment of whales and dolphins recently, the subject came up about how a country’s citizens can be diametrically opposed to the actions of their leaders. Don’t blame the Japanese Continue reading...
Believe it or not, there’s actually one thing I don’t like about frozen raw pet food – it needs power to keep it frozen. Well, at least where we live. Maybe a move to the Arctic is worth considering… But when the food supply for your animals depends on freezers, extended power failures are a Continue reading...
Just what is green tripe? Let’s just say, I try to forget I’m a vegetarian when I think of what I feed the carnivores in our family… There’s detailed information available at http://www.truecarnivores.com/greentripe.shtml , which includes, “tripe is the stomach of ruminating animals. These animals (i.e. cattle, buffalo, sheep, deer, goats, antelope, etc.) are classified Continue reading...
At one time or another, it seems like we’re told just about everything is both good and bad for us. Do this, no, do that. I remember years ago they, the all-knowing mysterious ‘they’, were saying lettuce caused cancer. Of course, obstinate me postured of course it does, everything can, because for example, if we Continue reading...
For those of you with canine family members, there’s a great company I discovered a few years ago that I’d like to recommend.

I have interesting garbage. Or should I say, I collect my garbage in some rather interesting containers. The can outside is normal enough, an actual real life garbage can. But inside, under the sink, not so much. I’ve never felt comfortable with the idea of buying something disposable to put more disposable stuff in, just Continue reading...
We had already seen many dramatic health improvements from feeding raw to our animals: better coats, weight control, breath and teeth, body functions in general, healthier immune systems, and just plain friskier with more energy. But about five years ago another rather big diet modification became necessary. This incredible cat Bailey had had a number Continue reading...
Those who know me, know I have looked long and hard at what I feed the animals in my care – members of the family in every sense of the word. What began as a search for answers to problems that stumped all the veterinarians we saw, ended up leading to a complete rethinking of Continue reading...
I saw a commercial today that actually made an interesting point. It spoke of the much greater frequency of the question, “What’s for dinner?” rather than, “What’s in dinner?” Change one simple little preposition and the entire meaning changes. While advertising a product I would still not consider all that healthy, it brought up a Continue reading...
