New Book: Dog Park Diary: The Social Round of Goody Beagle

Posted July 1, 2008

Kim Pearson, guardian to Dr. Jane Goodall Beagle (AKA Goody), translated Goody’s thoughts into human speak!  We get a sneak peak into life at the dog park as told by Goody.  You will have moments of “so that’s what they are doing” or “my dog does that too!” as you read this diary.  Well illustrated by Anne Lindsay with some great action shots.  My favorite photo is of Goody (on page 4) looking at the photogapher with soulful eyes.  As Goody says “you can learn a lot at the Dog Park about how to get along”.  This is a must read to your favorite pooch.

CD - “Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast by ALianna Boone”

Posted February 18, 2008

Check out the CD, Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast by harpist ALianna Boone (call 904 794 1872) .  I have not listend to it yet, just ordered ihe CD today.  According to an article I read vets found harp music lowered the heart rates and anxiety levels of hospitalized animals.  According to Diane Schneider, a classically trained musician, “the vibrations of the harp resonate directly with the body’s cells”. “Those vibrations release tension  in muscle tissue, calm anxiety, improve digestion, induce sleep and release endorphins”.  The caveate, of course, this doesn’t work with every animal. If you purchase this CD, let me know what you think.

Pseudo-Surgeon

Pizza GirlMy little dachsie, Penny, has had a lump on her chest for a couple of months.  I dragged her to the vet last week-diagnosis a wart! Shave it off or buy over-the-counter de-warter.  Today I remembered oregano oil is a homeopathic wart remover.  Before heading off to the PCC for the oil I donned my headlamp (quite a sight), got a sewing needle, rubbing alcohol, turned Penny over on her back and poked! Low and behold it was a zit.  Relief flooded me, I had not been looking forward to sleeping with Pizza Girl.
