I was furious that Michael Vick was reinstated to play football after bankrolling dog fights. Ok, so he went to prison and paid his dues ( not as far as I'm concerned ) and was released saying how grateful he is for being given the chance to play again!
What about his regrets for ruining the lives of hundreds of innocent dogs' who either died or who were left unadoptable resulting in euthanization.
Hopefully, all of us who loathe these kind of people, will do our best to stop this brutality and put an end to FAMOUS PEOPLE GETTING OFF THE HOOK!
Vick had it easy. He "reflected on his mistakes". But what is he doing now to make up for them? Is he giving lectures to schools about respecting animals, protecting animals from abuse or teaching that it is wrong to be greety,and that it's wrong to make money off the suffering of others, especially innocent animals who can't fight back? This would show remorse on his part and it would at least be a good attempt to show us that he wants to make things better.
So, my opinion is we should all boycott all his games and give these animals a voice. If we don't . . . Who will?
Stay tuned for a much more uplifting blog. This needed to be said and I hope to get feedback from my readers on the subject.
Thank you !
Proper Hydration for you and your pets
My dog was never a good water drinker until we discovered Pure Kangen Water, the high anti-oxidant drinking water. Not only does he love it, he looks better. His coat is beautiful, his eyes are clearer, he's much more playful, and I no longer have to coax him to drink.
Just by changing the water you drink, you can change the way you feel. Pure Kangen Water super hydrates your body quickly giving you and your pets incredible energy, better digestion and a better night's sleep. Because Kangen Water is a high anti-oxident water, it helps to flush out toxin build up which can cause many ailments. It has been proven to even help with mild cases of hip dysplasia in dogs, inflammation in different parts of the body, and it even prevents the anal glands in dogs from becoming clogged.
The best test is to try it. We the people know that it is good for you, tastes great, and keeps us healthy; but your pet only knows. . . either I like it, or I don't ! Put two bowls of water down, one with 9.5 pH Kangen Water and one with regular water. Most of the time, your dog will pick the Kangen Water.
FWI...I do not sell this product. I just want to spread the word about this incredible and easy way to keep our precious animals healthy. ( and us ) but if you are interested in getting some of this water, email me and I'll tell you where and how.

Tips to keep your pets safe… Beat the Summer Heat
Imagine wearing a fur coat during the hot summer months. Uncomfortable? Just imagine how uncomfortable and dangerous it can be for your dogs and cats if they are not protected.
Here are some tips to keep our beloved pets safe:
1. Avoid injury to the feet. Stay off the hot pavement, especially black surfaces. This can seriously injure their sensitive pads.
2. Prevent heat exhaustion. NEVER leave your dog or cat in the car unless you keep the air-conditioning on.( not likely you will do this ) Even leaving the windows down in a cool shaded area is not safe as the car can heat up in a matter of minutes.
3. Keep them cool. Give your pet a good haircut, especially dogs with very long and think fur. A good brushing every day will help get rid of the undercoat and make your pet much more comfy.
4. Hydrate. Make sure you ALWAYS leave enough water down to drink. Dehydration is the number one killer of pets in the hot summer months. They sell vests and mats for dogs that are filled with a cooling gel for those who are outside in the heat.
5. Get some exercise. If you and your dog like to jog, for goodness sake make sure you run early in the morning or in the early evening before the sun heats up. Exercise is great for both of you; but not on very hot days. Remember, the sand and the pavement get very hot; so unless you put sneakers or booties on Rover, go early.
6. Tans are nice but did you know that your pooch can get sunburn? Well, he can. So… put sunscreen on his little nose and on his ears. These are very venerable places that burn easily and can be very dangerous.
7. Signs of heat exhaustion:
§ Heavy rapid panting
§ Unsteady walking
§ Purple or dark red tongue
§ Vomiting
§ Glazed eyes
8. Treatment for heat exhaustion:
§ Move your pet out of the heat into air-conditioning or shade.
§ Put cold towels, unless you have ice packs, on the neck, head and chest
§ Put them in water but make sure it is tepid or cool, not COLD. This would shock their system and be very dangerous.
§ Give very small amounts of cool water or ice cubes to lick.
Heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue are all signs of possible heat exhaustion. What to do: Move the animal into the shade or an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to their head, neck and chest or immerse them in cool (not cold) water. Let them drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes and consider taking them directly to a veterinarian.
