Stress and depression are not figments of your imagination. Most of us have felt alone or hopeless at times, and can assure you that the feelings are real. Coping with these feelings can be harder because of the things that swirl around in your brain. We used to have a next door neighbor who lived in her big house by herself. She didn't drive, and she never went anywhere. I don't know how she got her groceries or did anything she had to do with the outside world. I saw her in her back yard occasionally, but other than those rare sightings, she spent most of her life in her living room. She wasn't a bad person. When my siblings or I had something to sell for school, she would make her contribution...

On a recent trip to the animal shelter when our family decided to adopt a dog, we noticed the perfect match for our family. He was a large mixed breed and although we were unsure of the breed we knew from the moment that we laid our eyes on him that he would fill our home with joy. There was one aspect our dog that his set him apart from the rest at the shelter, Sparky only had three legs. It turned out that a car accident was the reason for the amputation from the knee. Although we had never raised a pet that was missing a limb we were sure that a trip to the local veterinarian and a little research would give us all of the information we needed to provide him with a loving home. Why Do We Have to...

are sweet and cuddly! It's easy to get swept up in the emotion and buy a cat without thinking. But that's not how it should be. Whether or not to adopt a cat is by no means an easy decision. It carries with it huge responsibility. You will have to take care of a cat until its death, which could be in 15 to 20 years. In addition, you should be ready to spend a large amount of your time feeding the cat, grooming it, and playing with it on a daily basis. Keep the following points in mind before deciding to adopt a cat: 1. Prior to bringing a cat home, it is essential to know if any member of your household is allergic to cats.

What is it about the wagging tail of a dog or the purr of a cat that makes us feel so calm, so safe, so present? I've been working with rescue dogs in my practice for quite a number of years and more than a few clients have said, "I came to see you for psychotherapy because you work with dogs." I remember one patient who came in and said, "Y'know I didn't know you from beans, but I figured, how bad could you be if you rescued two dogs?" Another young man was so traumatized by abuse that he held onto one of the dogs and cried for two months. He could not yet tolerate the vagaries of human relationship, but he could let the dog love him. And through that a bridge was formed back to life...

You work for a cause that makes a difference in your community, the country, or the world. You're making progress toward solving a problem. And - your organization needs money in order to continue. Is that a reason why donors should give? It might sound like a good reason to you, but no, it isn't. Your need is not going to produce one thin dime unless giving to your cause fills some need within your donors. You have to give to get, and in this case you have to give some kind of emotional fulfillment. Your donors won't come out and say so, but before they part with their money they have to feel that they'll get something out of it. Whether consciously or subconsciously, they'll want the answer to...

The first thing anyone who wants to add a pet to the family should do before actually going out and getting one is to think it through. Start with some basic questions: -What kind of pet do you want? Dog? Cat? Hamster? Gerbil? -What do you want a pet for? Companionship? Exercise? Work? To stop the kids from nagging you? -What is most important to you about this pet? Breed? Temperament? Size? Intelligence? Health? Color? -Pedigree? Length of hair? -How much money can you afford/are you willing to spend for your new pet? When it comes to the usual suspects - dogs and cats, there are generally three places a responsible pet seeker can get a pet - from a breeder, from a pet store, or from a rescue...

When you encounter a stray dog approach cautiously. It will let you know what it thinks of the situation. Tail high, yawning, showing white at edge of the eye, licking its mouth with no food around or showing teeth are some of the signs warning you to stay away. A wagging tail does not always mean they are friendly. If you see these signs contact a professional to handle the situation. If you feel comfortable, approach slowly, keep your hands down and don't look it in the eye. Speak softly and slowly extend the back of your hand and let him sniff it. NEVER kneel down! Once the dog is comfortable, check for identification. If it has no identification. and you can put it up or find it temporary...

Looking for networking opportunities in all the same places? Perhaps, you have already tried the traditional tradeshows or vendor luncheons where you meet with the same vendors who have been with the same companies for years. Unfortunately, whether you are an entrepreneur or a corporation, people have a tendency to network within the same circle of peers they have grown accustomed to. Ahhh, nothing quite as safe as familiar faces! Networking outside your niche isn't always comfortable, but necessary if your business is to thrive and your customer or client base to grow. I'm not talking about radically branching out, but just stepping outside your circle into new territory. Here are four tips to...

Hey folks! I want to tell you a little bit about pet overpopulation, and why it is so important to have your pet spayed or neutered. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that 6 - 8 million dogs enter our nations shelters each year. Less than one-third of these are reclaimed by their owners. Do you know what happens to most of the dogs that can't be adopted out to new families? That's right. They are euthanized - that means their innocent lives are ended. It is estimated that close to half of the dogs that enter shelters in this country are euthanized. Half! Can you believe that? I'd be terrified if I ended up in one of these shelters, knowing that my chances of making it out alive were...

One very overlooked way that a small business owner can help to market their business is to volunteer in a community organization.

Community organizations are always looking for people to volunteer to help their organization.

One issue that many people are very passionate about is that of buying a dog from a shelter. There are so many dogs that are available and are not given homes that you can understand why somebody would feel that way. Many of the dogs that are at the pound will certainly make a fantastic pet. It's a tough choice to make, however, especially if you have been considering buying a particular breed of dog.

You need to make sure you not only have the knowledge to care for your new pet, but also that you can meet the needs of whatever type of animal you choose.

A lot of people that start house training their dog, wonder if there is any difference in training a puppy and an older dog. The hose training process remains the same for both, the only thing that is different is time and results you may expect. Who is learning faster. This is probably the biggest concern of most of the dog owners. The politically correct answer to this question is: "It is a dog specific issue."

Cat ownership in WA is under siege by local cat laws newly introduced by the Shire of Swan and soon to be implemented by the City of Joondalup. Cat owners will be penalized by fines if their cat unwittingly trespasses onto a neighbours property without their permission. The ultimate penalty is the trapping of your beloved moggy by a neighbour in a trap supplied by the shire and the impoundment and possible euthanization of your cat if you can't locate it within 7 days. The legal trapping of cats opened up by these new local cat laws will only encourage vigilantes who hate cats to have an 'open season' on cats in their neighborhood. The Cat Haven, a well known Perth based cat rescue group have...

If you have an adult dog who has never been housetrained, or is just stubbornly using the indoors as an outhouse, you can easily correct this dog behaviour. You may not know your dog's history, especially if she was adopted or rescued from a dog shelter. As a result, you may be dealing with an adult dog who lived outside, was never housetrained at all, was insufficiently housetrained or even incorrectly housetrained. Your adult dog may be dealing with some behaviors that have been reinforced through time and experience, so the most important thing to keep in mind is that you must be patient with your dog. You should keep an "eagle eye" on your dog and observe her actions when she is in the house...
