Has nutrition gone to the dogs? Homemade dog food
I'm all about helping my family follow a healthy diet, and by family, I mean everyone, including my dogs. I make an effort to buy a high quality dog food, do the vet visits as needed, and keep them free from fleas and heartworms. I like to treat them as well, and I often bring home treats from the neighborhood doggy bakery, and have been known to bake up some doggy biscuits for special occasions.However, when it comes to my dogs' daily meals, I think I have to draw the line at preparing it myself. I came across a section in All Recipes where they list a number of different recipes for homemade pet food, such as Doggy Meatloaf with Vegetables and Poochie Meat Cakes (both of which take longer to prepare and bake than many of the things I make for the humans in my family).
What do you think? Does homemade dog food cross the line, or is it a great option for pet owners who wish to have more input in their dogs nutrition?
(If you do opt to make a change in your pet's diet, please discuss it with your vet to ensure your furry friend will receive the proper nutrition!)
The health benefits of pet ownership are well-documented -- lower blood pressure and less stress among them. But not everyone is able to keep a pet. Allergies, lifestyle, and restrictions on pet ownership in living spaces can prevent animal lovers from having a pet of their own.
For my brother's 30th birthday party, we held a special costume party. Guests were asked to dress how they thought they might look 30 years down the road. I dressed up as a "cat lady." I lived alone at the time in a tiny upstairs apartment with two cats, and had taken in my grandparent's cat as well, while they vacationed in Florida. The costume didn't seem to be too far off the mark, all those cats in that little space. My friends and family nodded knowingly.
My husband often says that if our dog's and cats' bad habits were combined into one animal, we'd have grounds to get rid of it. He says it in jest, of course (at least I think he does), but a German family recently discovered that their 

Fellow pet lovers know the joy that a animal can bring to your life. Whether it's a dog, cat, or less popular but equally loved animal, pet ownership has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve quality of life. Some people even 
As many of us become heavier in the waist area, are those lovable dogs at home becoming the same way? Those who feed their dogs table scraps (which is a no-no) filled with processed food and other nastiness probably have fat pets. Low and behold, there is a new diet drug that claims to help pets lose weight.
I'm currently in Australia on an extended holiday and I learned pretty quickly that homesickness isn't just for kids. Whether you're a kid away at summer camp, a new university student away at college or an adult who has recently moved to a new city, it's totally natural to miss your family, friends, pets and old life back at home.

Up until recently, my preschooler viewed our dog mostly as an annoyance -- a pet who sat on her toys, stole her cookies when she wasn't looking, and generally got in the way. Then we gave her the task of taking care of her pet each morning. When she wakes up, she lets the dog out, feeds her (measuring skills, bonus lesson!), and gives her some water. Suddenly, I hear her saying things like "my dog" and petting her and playing with her too. It's been a great lesson for her in responsibility and also caring for another living thing.
Who would think that a darling little baby turtle could pose a deadly health risk? Well they can, and they do. Salmonella is often found in turtles as they can carry the bacteria without getting sick. This is nothing new as there was actually a law passed way back in 1975 that prohibited the sale of turtles with a shell smaller than 4 inches in the hope of lessening the risk, but there's no reliable way of telling whether any specific turtle is a carrier. It's possible to contract Salmonella poisoning, or pass it on to others, from simply coming in contact with the turtle itself or its feces. Sadly this issue has come to the forefront recently due to
