ORANGE CITY

Florida black bears, driven by instinct to fatten up for the coming winter, are roaming neighborhoods near Blue Spring State Park, digging into garbage cans and prompting state officials to remind residents how to live with bears.

Neighbors contacted WFTV after seeing a black bear in an Altamonte Springs neighborhood Saturday morning.

The black bear was spotted outside of a home on Oak Gate Circle around 10:00 a.m. Saturday.

“If at the first site of a bear, people will lock up their garbage and bring all pet food and wildlife attractants inside, the bear will move on.

But the longer people tolerate the bears, the harder it is to get rid of the problem because the bears will keep coming back” said Joy Hill, a commission spokeswoman.

TUMMY ACHE?

STOMACH ACHES CAUSED BY CARRAGEENAN

http://www.notmilk.com/carageenan.html

This website is basically speaking to the humans on this planet, how much of this chemical is also going into your pets without your knowledge?

Makes you wonder don't?

Well I think that is a good thing, wonder what the chemical companies like Monsanto, are doing to us and our pets!

Carrageenan is a commonly used food additive that is

extracted from red seaweed by using powerful alkali

solvents. These solvents would remove the tissues

and skin from your hands as readily as would any acid.

Carrageenan is a thickening agent. It's the vegetarian

equivalent of casein, the same protein that is isolated

from milk and used to thicken foods. Casein is also

used to produce paints, and is the glue used to hold

a label to a bottle of beer. Carrageenan is the magic

ingredient used to de-ice frozen airplanes sitting on

tarmacs during winter storms.

Halloween party Airedale style.

The Sarasota Polo Club and our Airedale club were kind enough to invite the members to a Halloween party Airedale style.

Why should dogs still be digging holes?

Why Dogs Dig and What You Can Do

This is an ongoing dispute in our household and I am sure in many others.

She thinks that it is a dogs god given right to dig, (we have an Airedale) because their ancestors had to dig to survive.

Some wild dog relatives, like foxes and wolves, dig dens to raise their young. Sleeping in a den protects the young pups from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) and from predators.

Why should dogs still be digging holes?

My answer is, “ if you want her to keep digging like her ancestors did centuries ago, go build us a cave like your ancestors did centuries ago, set up housekeeping in it and she can dig just like her ancestors did”?
