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.

The Sarasota Polo Club at Lakewood Ranch in Sarasota, Florida.

Every Sunday afternoon during season, the public is invited to bring out their picnic baskets and enjoy the thrill of the “fastest game on four feet”. With pony and Clydesdale wagon rides, exciting action, tailgating, half-time entertainment, divot stomping and plenty of fresh air, Sunday polo is the perfect place for a family outing; dogs are even welcome on a leash.
Experience Sarasota Polo – the best kept secret on the West Coast of Florida!

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”?

OK, I rest my case with this photo!

Living proof that Airedales are spoiled as much as if not more then our children and grandchildren?

We were beginning to think that, although she deserve it, we spoil Breanna far too much.

You got to love a family like this.

Renewable Energy to the Rescue

Guerrilla Marketing to Save Mountain Gorillas

Renewable Energy to the Rescue

By John R. Platt | September 25, 2012

In one hand, the costumed gorilla holds an energy-efficient stove.

In the other, he carries a bag of biomass briquettes.

Put together these two items could provide safe, inexpensive, environmentally friendly fuel for heating and cooking to the 250,000 refugees currently crowding around Virunga National Park as they flee violence from the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Unfortunately, the region is saturated by real guerillas and at least nine militia groups that kill people and animals every day.

The situation in the Congo is undoubtedly going to get worse before it gets better, but if refugees can save a few dollars when buying cooking fuel and protect wildlife in the process, the park may have a brighter future ahead.
