			<description>Tips for traveling with man's best friend



01/20/04

By MICHAEL MARTINEZ

  Last summer, while planning a trip to Switzerland for a family wedding, Stephan and Shyama Steiner of Redwood Shores, Calif., made a tough decision: Their dog would have to stay home. Although Guinness, a 2-year-old German shepherd, usually travels with them on vacations, the Steiners figured it was too distant a trip to take him along. 

 

But one week before leaving, they changed their minds. Stephan Steiner's  ...</description>

			<description>Pets are Good for Your Health



by Jane Weaver We know that dogs are dedicated companions that offer unquestioning attachment and acceptance. In the past several years, mounting scientific evidence suggests that they benefit us even beyond eager devotion. Numerous studies have shown that dogs -- one of the earliest domesticated animals -- can help lower blood pressure, ease the loneliness of the elderly in nursing homes, and help children overcome allergies. 

 

Now there's new research  ...</description>

			<description>Why Cats Purr



by Julie Corsi For cat owners, the greatest pleasure is in that feeling of contentment cats share with us. We feel calmer and more peaceful when that purring bundle of warm fur climbs into our lap. We may not always hear the purring – a soft vibrating rumble – but we can feel it. 

 

Ever since the Egyptians started worshipping the cat, philosophers, scientists and cat lovers worldwide have wondered why cats purr. 

 

It is commonly believed that cats purr when content.  ...</description>

			<description>Myths about Dogs and Cats



03/01/04 When it comes to dogs and cats, myths abound, from misinformation about health care and disposition to demeanor and intelligence. The problem with myths, experts say, is that pet owners who act based on incorrect information can inadvertently endanger a pet. In addition, pet owners may become confused over what's truth and what's not. 

 

With the rapid-fire abilities of telecommunications and the Internet, misinformation can be disseminated quickly,  ...</description>

Plump whole chickens, choice cuts of beef, fresh grains, and all the wholesome nutrition your dog or cat will ever need. 



These are the images pet food manufacturers promulgate through the media and advertising. This is what the $11 billion per year U.S. pet food industry wants consumers to believe they are buying when they purchase their products.

			<description>List of the toxins that you need to keep out of your pet’s reach



By Deb M. Eldredge, DVM The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center recently released a list of the ten most common poisons that dogs ingest. What is immediately striking about the list is how ordinary each of the poisons is—most of us have these compounds in our homes or garages. The list is a reminder that it is important to keep medications and potentially toxic items locked up or stored safely away from our pets.

It's yellow, NOT white - I've been there tonight,  



Marking up my winter wonderland.

It's a sign for wand'ring vagrants;

Marked up as my winter wonderland."

Dogs are never permitted in the house.





The dog stays out side in the specially built wooden compartment named for a very good reason, the dog house.



Ok, the dog can enter the house but only for short visits or if his own house is under renovation.

Ok, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis provided his doghouse could be sold in a garage sale to a rookie dog owner. 







Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a comfortable,  ...</description>

Dear God, 

How come people love to smell flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? Where are their priorities? 

 

Dear God, 

When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story? 

 

Dear God, 

Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! I know every breed  ...</description>

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, 

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, 

If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it, 

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time. 

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, for no fault of yours, something goes wrong,  ...</description>

Bicycles:

Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards; the person then swerves, and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.

			<description>DECORATING WITH DOGS



Decorating when you have pets can provide unique opportunities to express your own personal style and taste. Here are some tips I'd like to share: 

 

1. Bare floors, without carpet or throw rugs, can give a nice open feeling to a room. It can provide a soothing balance when you have many art objects that reflect your love of animals.

 

2. Paw prints and nose smudges on glass doors and windows break up glare and soften the light in a room.

I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has finished watching a horror movie. 

I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium. 

I must not help myself to Q-tips, and I must certainly not proceed to stuff them down the sink's drain. 

I will not eat large numbers of assorted bugs, then come home and puke them up so the humans  ...</description>

In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). 

CAUTION!!!!! 

Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.

On a night quite unenchanting, 

when the rain was downward slanting, 

I awakened to the ranting of the man I catch mice for. 

Tipsy and a bit unshaven, 

in a tone I found quite craven, 

Poe was talking to a Raven perched above the chamber door. 



"Raven's very tasty," thought I, as I tiptoed o'er the floor, 

"There is nothing I like more" 

Soft upon the rug I treaded, 

calm and careful as I headed

At the store, do you pick up the cat food and kitty litter before you pick out anything for yourself? 

Did you buy a video tape of fish swimming in an aquarium to entertain your cat? 

Do the Christmas cards you send out feature your cat sitting on Santa's lap? Does your cat sign the card? 

Do you accept dates only with those who have a cat? If so, do you eventually double-date with the cats to see how they get along? 

Do you admit to non-cat owners how many  ...</description>

			<description>Hi All!



I learned about Flint River Ranch over 15 years ago and started feeding it to my dogs and cats. I was so impressed with the quality, my pets' health, their fur texture and shine, and the whole package, that I become a distributor of Flint River Ranch.



I am so grateful to be a part of this company where I know the owner, I know their integrity in bringing the very best in pet foods to their customers and I can feel really good about what I do!



Please feel free to ask me any questions  ...</description>

			<description>Flint River Ranch Dog Food is made with only fresh, whole ingredients which are slowly twice oven-baked at low temperatures, resulting in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility. Oven-baking changes hard to digest starches into easy to digest dextrins, which are readily absorbed into your dog's system. The good value is baked-in, not sprayed on. Concentrated, so pet owners will find less odor and stool clean-up. Our Chicken Meal and other meat sources do not contain poultry by-products  ...</description>

			<description>What's Really for Dinner?

The Truth About Commercial Pet Food

by Tina Perry 







Cow brains. Sheep guts. Chicken heads. Road kill. Rancid grain. These are a few of the so-called nutritionally balanced ingredients found in the commercial pet food served to companion animals every day. 



More than 95 percent of US companion animals derive their nutritional needs from a single source: processed pet food. When people think of pet food, many envision whole chickens, choice cuts of beef, fresh  ...</description>

			<description>I have five toy breed dogs, finicky eaters. Never have I seen them eat any dry

food like they eat your food. They actually growl at each other over the broken

chunks. I don't know what you are doing but keep it up. My guys have been

eating flint river for around 2 months and are so bright, and energetic, clear eyed,

minimum poop!!!!, I can't say enough.

			<description>From the President of Flint River Ranch, Jim Flint: 



 "Flint River Ranch does not buy from the supplier of the suspect ingredient(s)... Every ingredient is tested before we use it... Additionally, all of our formulas are tested every 15 minutes for standards as cooked, and samples kept for 6 months. All ingredients used are bought from known producers with many years of a strong relationship between us. Chicken and grains from nationally known human-food producers equals human-grade rating  ...</description>

			<description>Flint River Ranch insulted? I think not! You be the judge!



The following is a brief review of a recent conversation with a potential customer with

their comments and our observations. It started with the individual’s statement that Flint

River Ranch products were not changing our formulas and keeping up with the times.

They were feeding a more &quot;modern&quot; brand, that our formulas were &quot;old-fashioned&quot; and

&quot;out-dated.”
