February 15th, 2013Milk Snake
September 6th, 2012Today I found a beautiful little milk snake that had died underneath the knockout rose bush. She was only 8 inches or so long. We have lots of these snakes in our garden and they’re very friendly and eat mice and other rodents. Unfortunately they resemble copperheads, a very dangerous snake and so spotting a milk snake can be a little alarming. A friend of mine examined the little snake and said she had been killed by a cat. The only cat we have up here is a Lynx. I’m surprised the Lynx is hunting so close to our home!

The Best and Worst Foods for your Animal Friends
July 21st, 2010This article was copied from HealthyPets.Mercola.com which is an excellent source of information for your animal friend’s health.
The List of Best-to-Worst Foods
1. A balanced, raw, homemade diet is the best food you can feed your dog or cat. It will be nutritionally balanced because you’re following recipes like those found in the cookbook I co-authored, Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats. Raw means the food is unadulterated and still contains all the enzymes and nutrients that are typically destroyed during cooking or other types of processing. Homemade is the best option because you are in complete control of the quality of ingredients in your pet’s diet. I recommend pets get plenty of nutritional variety, and another great thing about serving homemade is you can buy seasonal fruits and veggies on sale, as well as protein sources (meats), and use them in rotation.
2. The next best thing you can feed your pet is a commercially available raw diet. This is a raw food diet that someone else has done the heavy lifting to prepare. It’s important that the diet is balanced, and you should be aware that there are raw food pet diets entering the market that are not yet proven to be nutritionally complete. These foods often say “For supplementation or intermittent feeding”on the label. You’ll know if the raw food you’ve selected is balanced because it will say it right on the packaging: “This food has been proven to be nutritionally complete or adequate for all life stages.” At the present time, these diets are found only in the freezer section of small/privately owned or upscale pet boutiques and“ not in the big box pet stores. You can also find a selection online.
3. Cooked, balanced homemade diet. It’s the same diet found in number 1, above, except that it’s cooked. This means some of the nutrient composition has been diminished through processing. Read the rest of this entry »
