 Dear Friend,
Welcome to a Beautiful and Happy New Year!
So many of us have lived with the joy of an animal companion. Sometimes we note how subtly our lives have changed. More often than not, our animals push us to what seems like our limits and our lives are never the same.
Is there an animal who has touched your life?
In this issue I invite you to explore information, events and opportunities as they relate to our furry and feathered friends. But please don't overlook the fact that our animals may be trying to tell us something about ourselves, too. What are the messages your animals are trying to tell you? "I love you", "please feed me something delicious", "I don't feel good", "let's play", "let's go someplace fun!" ... all are important, wouldn't you agree?
On the "let's play" note, I invite you to check out this link from a friend if you'd like a good laugh.
Warmly,
Rosemary Levesque

Reducing Toxicity in Your Dog's Life The following is an excerpt from the website of Jeannie Thomason, VND
Please click the link below for the whole article.
"Most people don't know that a healthy, natural life span for a dog is up to ten years longer than his expected lifespan. It's hard to believe, isn't it? I firmly believe that this is due to our toxic lifestyle which our dogs are exposed to at an even greater level each and every day than we are ourselves are.'
"After all, once you've scrubbed the sink or bath tub with some chemical concoction, I'm sure you don't put your face next to the surface you've scrubbed. But your dog might. And if you use chemicals on your hard floors or carpets, you don't sniff it dozens of times a day and constantly inhale the fumes, do you? But your dog does. No, you say, your dog spends most of his days outside. Okay then, even if you don't spray chemical weedkillers on your grass and gardens, your neighbour or someone in the next street does, and the rain washes it into your yard. And, you guessed it ... your dog rolls around in its, eats it, and on it goes.'
...
"I'm sure you've heard of cancer and other types of degenerative disease being far more prevalent in specific areas, and when this high incidence of killer diseases is investigated it's most often found that the ground contains high levels of chemicals or other toxins, or there are factories nearby emitting large quantities of pollutants into the atmosphere, etc. And the people living in those areas generally have a shorter average lifespan than the general population.'
"There are a number of strategies you can use to reduce these worrying effects'...

| Ginger and Spice need a new home
Ginger is the long-hair male Tabby and likes to flirt. Spice is the short-hair male Tabby with a John Wayne swagger. They are neutered and have been de-clawed.
They are 7-year old litter mates and are extremely attached to each other. Ginger and Spice need to be placed together. As they are VERY shy, they need a home with someone that can give them special attention to gain their trust.
The owner has been diagnosed with cancer and is retiring early in order to travel to care for her aging parents. They are currently in a foster home and look forward to a stable, carefree home environment.
If you would like to adopt this pair, or know of someone who would welcome them into their home, please contact Lynn at 503-245-3006 | |

In closing, I'd like to offer this Chinese proverb for the New Year, sent to me by a friend:
About Money
With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
With money you can buy a clock, but not time.
With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.
With money you can see a doctor, but not good health.
With money you can buy a position, but not respect.
With money you can buy blood, buy not life.
With money you can buy sex, but not love.
Please continue reading for my own "Animal Proverb".
