Ways to Reduce Stress in Our Dogs
In today’s society it is an accepted fact that stress is a big factor in ill health for humans but somehow our pets are slipping through the cracks where stress is concerned. It’s possible that people just don’t know how to determine the signs of stress and if they do, they don’t know what to do about it. We need to learn to: • identify stress • put our pets at ease • and most importantly how “whole” health plays the most vital role in all of it The goal is to help our pets maintain a balance in their lives that will...
read moreWelcome Ezra to the Pack!
Well I went and did it…got a new puppy! Our girl Schatzie passed away in January as readers of this blog may already know. She was a Carolina Dog and because of her I became intrigued with this breed. Admittedly I’d not experienced this breed as puppies lol. Soooo I learned they are high energy and intense dogs. I’ll just share the very few social media posts I wrote about our new boy as introduction and primarily all of them this week with the exception of one. Why? Because I took a work hiatus to spend time getting to know him...
read moreGetting Some Dane Love
Back in mid July, my friends and I, shown in these pics, Wendy Lovas and Breanne Altherr, went to Salt Lake City, UT for the Young Living 2019 International Convention. We spent this particular day visiting our friend Thomas Sandberg (he runs the Long Living Pets Raw Food Research) enjoying his awesome Great Danes – Odin the black adult and Tyr the brindle pup. I definitely got a lot of needed Dane love from the two of them! What was cool about the visit also is that all three of these friends are graduates from the former distance...
read moreThe Colorful Desert!
I’ve been meaning to share these photos with you all since the beginning of the summer! I thought well why not go ahead now and share before everything turns yellow and red! Anyway, before a new puppy (coming soon) graces our home and who knows what may befall the yard initially lol. So here are some photos of our colorful, vibrant DESERT! It’s so funny when I tell people I live in the desert they think stark, dry, barren. That’s true in winter but in spring and summer it’s a sight to behold. But you need to look for the beauty as...
read moreMy Dog is Friendly!
I’ve had this happen to me with my former dog Schatzie who wasn’t always friendly with other dogs, in particular female dogs. This happened one day when she and I were out walking in our usual place, and a guy came along with THREE dogs OFF leash. Schatzie was off leash but I casually put hers on and yelled at the guy to get his dogs because mine wasn’t friendly. I didn’t know if his dogs were male or female. He had a bulldog, a Pitbull mix, and a Labrador. The Lab ran for us full speed ahead. I even tried to detour...

Recently I went to the 2019 International Young Living Essential Oils Convention. Of course I spent time with my friend from Long Living Pets and his dogs, along with my two other awesome like-minded friends, Wendy Lovas and Breanne Altherr, who recorded a podcast with me on what else but DOGS and their natural care! You can check out that podcast at the end of this post if you like. Of course we spent time outdoors a lot, at the YL Farm, at our friend’s house with his dogs, at the Homestead Crater soaking in the mineral water there....

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr. Two American dog breeds: American Bully (left – King), Carolina Dog (native dog right – Schatzie). Male. Female. King is short-haired, bully breed through and through, tenacious, opinionated, grumpy before bedtime (lol), hates...
read moreThe Most SCENTS-able Neo Mastiff!
This is MY story and how I showed my humans all about being SCENTS-ABLE…snuggle in like ME for the journey! When I first came to live with my forever humans I was a total mess – but not bepaws of anything I had done. While I know my own story my humans don’t know my beginnings. All they know is that I was in the hands of some humans that didn’t even take very good care of themselves so I was of course even less of a concern. By a total mess I mean I was VERY skinny, not well and mom said very stinky. My humans made...
read moreA Basic Introduction to Iridology for Human & Animal Health
The sparks that lit the fires: What were the circumstances that pushed the early practitioners toward natural healing in general and iridology in particular? What did they have in common and how were they different? What generally pushed all the early practitioners into natural health in general was their own ill health or that of a close family member – it’s certainly what has pushed me into natural health! Because traditional care was either writing them off as lost causes or it wasn’t helping to improve their health (as in my own health...

DOG-ilates, or Dog-lates or combat Pilates. Have you ever done or experienced this? It’s quite a workout AND experience 😂😜🐕. It’s quite the intense workout actually. It involves your chosen dog sitting on your head or any prone surface of your body while you attempt to go through your Pilates routine. It can be quite an intense workout. 🤣 But guess what else you receive? An additional benefit of lots of laughter which by the way can boost your immune system for up to 24 hours! It’s true, I’m not kidding!...
