A Pet's 10 Commandments

I don't know who originally wrote this. It was sent to me in an email, and I hope the author won't mind my sharing it here with you:

A PET'S TEN COMANDMENTS:


1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10 On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.




~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them.
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.


~Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!

More Reasons to Feed Homemade

As if there were not enough reasons already to feed home prepared food to our animals, here are some more:

This article identifies human illness (Salmonella infections) linked to feeding contaminated dry dog and cat food. It's published in the journal PEDIATRICS.

Now I wonder what The Delta Society will do? Ban all dogs fed dry food and raw food from being visiting Therapy Dogs?

Until the next recall - no wait, there will probably be 10 more recalls before I can write more - so until next time,
Infinite blessings to you and your little ones,
