Dog Nutrition Cont’d

Grains

Grains are an important part of a balanced doggie diet.  Rice especially can help with digestive woes for those animals that need a bland diet for a few days.  Gluten in wheat is an allergen for some-symptoms include itchy skin and ear inflammation ( dogs make shake their heads in discomfort).  Foods containing oats and barley may work better.  If you suspect food allergies of any type, see your vet.

8 Foods You Should Never Give Your Pets Cont’d

5. & 6. Grapes and Raisins

Grapes and raisins can cause acute (sudden) kidney failure in cats and dogs.  It is unknown what the toxic agent is in these fruit.  However, clinical signs can occur within 24 hours of eating and include vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy (tiredness).  Other signs of illness relate to the eventual shutdown of kidney functioning.

Poem of the Month

Here in this house…

Here in this house…

I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs ‘out there’.  

I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.  

I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I’ll eat.

 I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.

 I will feel the sun’s heat, and the rain’s coolness,  and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.  

My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.  

Here in this house…    

There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.

 I will be talked to and, even if I don’t understand,  I can enjoy the warmth of the words.

 I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.

 My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!  

Here in this house…  

 I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.

 I will never be used to improve peoples’ images of themselves.

 I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone’s idea of who I should be.

 I will never suffer for someone’s anger, impatience, or stupidity.

 I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.  

If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.

 Here in this house…  

 I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch…  knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.

 If I am ill, I will be doctored.

 If scared, I will be calmed.

 If sad, I will be cheered.  

No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be of value.

 I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not cute enough.

 My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.  

I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as dogs.    

Here in this house…

 I will belong.  I will be home.
