The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing. They each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent, his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Pets for Life Atlanta ��404.335.8463 Forgotten Paws Pet Rescue www.forgottenpaws.com.... ��404.993.7958 Pup & Cat Co.

Pets Need

It is estimated that 75-85% of all cats and dogs that are two years and older suffer from dental diseases including gingivitis and periodontitis.

Dental Care

Too! D

id you know that regularly brushing your pet’s teeth and providing them with a healthy diet and plenty of chew toys can go a long way toward keeping their mouth healthy? Many pets show signs of gum disease by the time they’re two years old because they aren’t provided with proper mouth care, and bad breath is often the first sign of a problem. Give your pet regular home checks and follow the tips below for a healthy mouth and a dazzling smile! 1. Sniff your pet’s breath. If it’s especially offensive and is accompanied by a loss of appetite, vomiting, excessive drinking or urinating, it’s time to visit the vet. 2. Once a week examine gums and teeth. Gums should be pink and teeth clean. 3. Signs of Oral Disease – Bad Breath; excessive drooling; inflamed gums; tumors in the gums; cysts under the tongue; loose teeth. Your pet may have a problem in their mouth or gastrointestinal system and should be checked by a vet. 4. Practice - Use a pet toothbrush and pet tooth paste or clean gauze wrapped around your finger. Never use fluoride with pups under six months and do not use human toothpaste. Massage in a circular motion. 5. Gnawing on bones, antlers and toys massages the gums, satisfies the desire to chomp, reduces stress, and helps keep teeth clean by scraping away tartar. Contributed by Top Dogs Pet Boutique

Black female seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I’m a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand.

Redemption Redemption is the story of the “No Kill” movement, which says we can and must stop the killing. It is about heroes and villains, betrayal and redemption. And it is about a social movement as noble and just as those that have come before. But most of all, it is a story about believing in the community and trusting in the power of compassion.

What is Compounding?

Compounded medications are “made from scratch” – individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient's specific needs.

A Stump For A Tail You can’t buy loyalty, they say. I bought it though, the other day; You can’t buy friendship, tried and true, Well just the same, I bought that too. I made my bid, and on the spot, bought love and faith and a whole lot of happiness, so all in all the purchase price was pretty small. I bought a single trusting heart, that gave devotion from the start. If you think these things are not for sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a stump for a tail. -author unknown

or any situation that might require assistance. As stated on the Epilepsy.com website (https://www.epilepsy.com/get-help/staying-safe/seizure-dogs ), some people with epilepsy have reported that their dogs are able to "sense" when a seizure is coming and therefore are able to reduce their seizure-related injuries. It is suspected that dogs can detect some change (for instance, an odor) that warns them of an approaching seizure, although no scientific studies of seizure alerting dogs have been completed. This alerting behavior has been reported in a number of different breeds and their predictive skills vary considerably for different patients and different dogs. One consistent factor, however, is that in order for the dog to effectively communicate an impending seizure event it must believe that it will be "listened to" by its bonded human. Imagine the benefits of learning to recognize and effectively manage your stress response through your emotional mirrors... your dogs. Consider how you might be impacting your

dogs' current behaviors or even their ability to serve. Service such as seizure alerting cannot be guaranteed, however through the application of the principles of Engaging the Human Animal Bond in Tandem (EnHABiT), you can develop the listening, communication and bonding skills that are necessary for dogs to "feel" heard, understood, appreciated and impactful in improving situations. Regardless of the service or alerting outcome, when you learn how to effectively manage your stress response, you will FEEL less stress, closer bonds in all of your relationships, more in control, and have an improved quality of life.

Loving Home Wanted

“ “

Meet Louie, who is 3 and is just the most AWESOME fellow. He is just loving life after he was abandoned and left to starve and freeze in his pen. Louie was skin and bone living in the most horrendous conditions imaginable. Louie had heartworm and was not expected to live. Today Louie is cured and is now a happy, healthy well adjusted boy. It has been a long road to recovery for Louie but you would never know it as he is just a big baby who would give you the world. Louie should be an only dog/companion pet. Louie’s favorite pastime is to ride on the golf cart or car and get his cheese burger/hold the onions/ no fries from the lady at the drive thru. He actually speaks when he sees you and will pin you down at bedtime because he does not want to be left, he will then fall asleep knowing you are there.
