frequently happens, and often there is a simple fix for the

they break their halters and/or crossties.
Healthy Diet for Your
Parrot
Is your bird a seed only eater? Did you know in that wild
seeds form only a small portion of the natural diet? While
seeds are an important part of a pet parrot's daily diet
they should not comprise all of it. Parrots are
opportunistic omnivores, which in plain English means they
eat whatever they encounter in their day ("opportunistic")
and, like us, eat from all the food groups - veggies &
fruits, grain, and animal protein ("omnivores").
Love of
Horses
My love of horses began at the age of 11 when I worked
every summer at a ranch. My twin brother and I would walk
about ten miles a day in circles taking children on pony
rides.
Winterizing Your
Dog
It's beginning to get cooler and as such it is also time to
plan for all your outside animals' safety. As with all
mammals, the winter months pose a particular disadvantage
-most especially to those outside pets many of us have.
Cleft Palate In
Dogs
Sometimes puppies are born that can't suckle properly, and
it's almost always because they have a cleft palate. A
cleft palate can be a complete division up the middle of
the palate, or roof of the mouth, or it can just be a small
hole in the palate.
The Gifts We Give Our
Dogs
Whoever coined the phrase, "It's a Dog's Life" wasn't
familiar with 21st century dogs. Time was when the average
canine slept outside, ate whatever scraps of food were
tossed his way, and if he was lucky, was thrown the
occasional bone.
History of Dogs? Or
Maybe Wolves?
Origin. Do you know that the adorable little puppy you bought
home last week could possibly be a descendent of a wolf? It
may well be true! In fact, many theorists believe that wolf
is the direct ancestors of domestic dog. Nevertheless,
there are just as many who argue that it seems impossible
to have over 400 varieties of dogs descended from just one
species.
How to Build a Dog House

Dog Training: Teaching
Your Dog Self-Control
Is your dog one of those that pulls at his leash constantly
whenever there is a distraction? A child walks by, or he
sees another dog? If a cat or small animal scoots by, or if
a car whooshes in front of him, does he tug to get closer?
Is he hard to manage while visiting the vet, or when you
have visitors? If the answer is yes to any of these
questions, then your dog training needs to include
self-control measures. A child is taught similar things
when they are growing up (don't put your hand on the stove,
or you can't have a cookie unless you ask, first), a dog
requires the same kind of love and attention, too.
Which Parrot is Right
For Me?
Which parrot is right for me? This is a question that you
must ask yourself before you think of keeping these lovely
birds as pets. It is as important as your decision to have
a child.
Who's Pulling On The
Leash, You Or Your Dog?
Hopefully no one is pulling the leash. The ideal situation
is that you and your dog are equally enjoying the walk and
neither is pulling and tugging the other in any certain
direction.
Birdie Body
Language
Most parrot people are aware of some of the basic body
language out companions use to communicate with us. But
it's usually the more negative ones! However, our buddies
use a multitude of moves to express lots of emotions, both
positive and negative.
The Case AGAINST Raw
Frozen Pet Foods
For some 25 years I have alerted the public to the dangers
of exclusively feeding heat processed foods. Companion
animal feeding has progressed - actually digressed - from
table scraps and real foods the family could spare to
today's "100 % complete" processed foods in primarily
kibble form, with some canned and semi-moist also
available.
First Aid for Felines -
How to Keep Your Car Safe from Harm
Cats are known for their curious and adventurous nature.
Curiosity doesn't always kill the cat, but can often cause
injury.
So, You've Decided To
Kill Your Pet!
The other day I was doing a research online for an article
I was writing and I came across an article, which the
author started by saying: "Euthanasia, is often the hardest
thing to do, yet the greatest act of kindness" Then he went
on explaining the "grueling" suffering and the guilt the
pet owner goes through before making the decision, how it
affects the whole family, especially the kids. But then he
explains euthanasia in the most loving way I've ever seen
someone describe a murder.
Cushings
Disease
As our horses enjoy a longer life and many live well into
old age so the number of horses with Cushing increases as
its more common in older horses especially ponies. It can
however affect all breeds and ages.
