5 New Years Resolutions for your Dog 1.

5 New Years Resolutions for your Dog 1. Walk Your Dog - Making a goal to walk your dog everyday will help you and your pet get into better shape. By using a control walk, you will be reinforcing your dog's place in the family. 2. Obedience Training - You know what to do, but are you being consistent? Resolve to spend 5-10 minutes every other day brushing up on your dog's obedience skills. While you are at it, come to a few tune-up classes and really flex your alpha muscles. 3. Annual Exam - Just like people, dogs need to have an annual check-up to make sure that everything is working properly and that there is nothing going on beneath the surface. Since symptoms can go unnoticed, a visit to your veterinarian's office might be the key to catching something early. If your pet has not seen a veterinarian in the last year consider making an appointment for its physical exam. 4. Socialization - If your dog isn't given the opportunity to be around other dogs, then problems can arise. You might notice barking when you are out for a walk when they see another dog. This can escalate into something more, so it's always a good idea to allow your dog to socialize with other pets as much as possible. 5. Helping a Rescue Organization- What a great New Years Resolution! Rescue organizations are always in need of volunteers, food and blankets, or monetary contributions. You can celebrate your dog by giving to an animal welfare organization.

Breast Cancer Awareness Day at the Oklahoma Capitol - Part II

Today marked the 3rd Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day at the Oklahoma State Capitol.

 

Part II of the Breast Cancer Awareness Day includes a Testimony from Mr. Hopkins--who is a crusader for Breast Cancer Awareness.  He believes in helping this cause; he has lost his wife, his 13 year old daughter to breast cancer and another daughter just recently had her breast removed and reconstructive surgery.  Mr. Hopkins chartered the Pediatric Cancer Association after his 13-year old daughter died from this haunting disease.  He states that he will always be very active in the cancer fight awareness.

 

According to CDC stats---cancer is a leading cause of death among children in the United States.  However, childhood cancer deaths are now declining.

 

In the United States, cancer is the second most common cause of death among children between the ages of 1 and 14 years, surpassed only by accidents. More than 16 out of every 100,000 children and teens in the U.S. were diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 3 of every 100,000 died from the disease.The most common cancers in children were leukemia (cancer of the bone marrow and blood) and brain and central nervous system cancers.

 

Ms. Karen McAhren is from the Indian Healthcare Resource Center from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  This service is open to all Indian tribe members.

A very important visitor to the the capitol was Ely who is a therapy dog.  He was wearing his pink tie in celebration of breast cancer awareness day.  He works with cancer patients to soothe them during their cancer fight.  Ely is a Great Pyrenees Mix......very beautiful dog.

 

Soulful Survivors---an African American Breast Cancer Support Group from Tulsa, Oklahoma was also in attendance at the Breast Cancer Awareness Day.  Their mission statement is to educate and support African American women who have breast cancer or have survived breast cancer.

 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among African-American women.  African American women are more likely to die from breast cancer than women from any other ethnic group.  The incidence rate of breast cancer is higher among younger African American women (under age 40), than any other groups of women.

 

Oklahoma Project Woman

( http://www.oklahomaprojectwoman.org )

currently provides breast health education, no cost mammography, diagnostic procedures and surgical services for women who, because of financial hardship, may delay seeking medical attention in the entire state of Oklahoma.

 

 

Breast Impressions, Inc.

( http://www.breastimpressions.com ) was founded by Judy Wescott Grove.  Its mission is to increase breast cancer awareness and fundraising to support breast cancer education, prevention and treatment.  Breast Impressions, Inc. also donates breast casting kits to women who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.  These casting kits allow those diagnosed to make a "memory" of their own prior to breast surgery. Since their inception well over 180 breast casting kits have been sent free of charge to women across the world.

 

 

Part III of this iReport will follow with a special exclusive CNN iReport interview with Senator Judy Eason McIntyre of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

 

 

This CNN iReport is dedicated to my wonderful and dearest friend -- Ms. Linda Drew....Happy 2-year anniversary Lin.  You are just awesome!  You always have that 'big smile' on your face to brighten and lighten everyone else's load.   Love ya and my prayer is that God will just keep blessing you ohhhhh so abundantly!...

Proper Nutrition from All is Well Pet Health

Proper Nutrition from All is Well Pet Health - Side Affects of Improper Nutrition Dog Training Nutrition is the foundation for optimal health for pets as well as people. Pet food should be wholesome and nourishing. In order to be sure your pet is getting the proper nutrition, read the labels and check the ingredients. It is also very important to chose a pet food that uses high quality, "human grade" ingredients. This assures that the ingredients on the label are what is truly in the food. Dog food companies such as Wellness, Natura (makers of California Natural, Evo, Innova), and Nature's Variety all use these type ingredients as well as do continuous quality control during manufacturing. Some of the maladies that can result from improper nutrition are itchy red skin, dandruff, oily coat, runny eyes, chewing on paws, and red, sore ears. Imagine eating the same diet day after day for your entire life ... not very appetizing is it? Now, imagine that same diet lacking the vitamins and minerals needed for strong healthy bodies. Since we need good nutrition to stay healthy, it would not take long to become weak and sickly. As unhealthy as this sounds, this is what most of our pets experience their entire lives. As a result they are getting sicker and sicker. Substandard Ingredients in Commercial Dog Food Keep in mind that any ingredients that are not considered "human grade" are not subject to any FDA or other screening. Pet food has no federal inspection of ingredients. This means the ingredient list on most commercial dog foods is not truly accurate. Meat by-products: The "by-products" from the meat, but not including meat: lungs, spleen, kidneys, brains, liver, blood, bone, intestines, none of which are fit for human consumption. Meat meal: Meat meal can consist of just about any conceivable meat source. Even destroyed dogs and cats are rendered into meat meal for several name-brand animal foods. Beet Pulp: Beet pulp is the dried residue from the sugar beet. It is a source of sugar and fiber. However, it can seriously bind a dog's digestive tract. BHT, BHA: Chemical preservatives such as BHT and BHA have caused many concerns when tested on laboratory animals. Ethoxyquin: Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative used to prevent spoilage in dog foods. It is a 1950's Monsanto product manufactured and sold as a chemical for making rubber! It is listed as a pesticide by the U.S. Department of agriculture. Unnecessary additions to dog food or treats: Corn: Corn, used as a cheap filler and protein source. Corn can cause common allergies such as skin disorders, increased chewing on paws or ear infections. Corn gluten meal: Corn gluten meal is by by-product after the manufacture of corn syrup or starch. Wheat or Wheat Gluten: Used as a cheap filler and protein source. Also a high allergen for skin disorders, and ear infections.
