Compassionate Care For Your Aging Dog

DateTuesday, March 9, 2010 at 01:46PM

By Louise Gilbert

Dog owners are often taken by surprise when they realize their dog is getting older. Perhaps an owner has noticed their pet taking an unusually long time to get up in the mornings, or maybe the dog becomes disoriented when outside. This realization can be emotionally troubling to the owner, as he sees his pet becoming more feeble as time goes by. Compassionate care of an aging dog is necessary to ensure the well being of both the dog and owner, and prepare them both for this new stage of life.

Dogs, like humans, are living longer than ever. Depending on the breed and environment, a dogs' middle age is around seven. Veterinarians suggest that when a dog reaches seven years of age, prevention and preparation become the key elements of care. A dog should be taken to the vet at this age for a full exam in order to check the general health of the dog. Your dog should always see the vet if a pet owner notices any stiffness, bad breath, disorientation, lumps that are growing, or has a change in eating or drinking. These symptoms could be signs of something more serious that needs medical attention. As dogs age, hearing and sight deteriorate, sleep patterns change, weight may change, and the immune system of a dog can decline. Many of these physical changes bring on emotional changes as well.

FAQs about Homeopathy

DateTuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12:20PM

By Dr. Santosh Joshi

Is a cure possible with homeopathic medicines?

Homeopathy is curative. It treats the cause (internal malady or the imbalanced energy) and not the expression (diagnostic symptoms specific to the disease) of the disease. The symptoms are only used as an indication to select the right remedy for the individual. It treats the person as a whole and not his individual body parts. Homeopathy takes into account the expressions of an illness characteristic to the individual and a curative remedy chosen on this basis gives a gentle and permanent cure.

In which disease condition is homeopathic treatment more effective?

There is no condition that Homeopathy cannot treat. Conditions from a simple cold to cancer can be treated with Homeopathy. It takes into account the individual symptoms of the patient suffering from any disease and not the diagnosis of the disease. By the virtue of this certain diseases that cannot be diagnosed clinically or even unknown diseases can also be treated. Also in incurable cases where even the modern line of treatment fails to help the patient, homeopathy will prove to be a very good palliative and will improve the last days of life and ease the death.

Twelve Ways to Make Your Spouse Dislike Sex 

DateMonday, March 8, 2010 at 05:05PM

By Nancy Wasson

It's really not difficult to ruin what could have been great sex. If that's your goal, following these twelve suggestions will ensure that, over time, your spouse will become very creative in finding ways to avoid having sex with you.

Of course, we're writing this article "tongue in cheek" to make a point. But we can assure you that these behaviors will detract from your sexual relationship with your partner. That's because sexual feelings are vulnerable to being affected by so many other factors, such as self-esteem, expectations, criticism, emotional intimacy, and pressure.

Do these Things to Ruin Your Sex Life

So here are the behaviors guaranteed to be "turn offs" to your spouse. In italics is the faulty reasoning that gets marriages into trouble. In parentheses (...), we've added a counterweight to the faulty reasoning.

Ten Signs You Need a Sex Makeover 

DateMonday, March 8, 2010 at 04:50PM

By Trina Read

Too many married women lose interest in sex because they keep having single-woman sex. It makes sense then that married women must learn to have married-woman sex.

Well of course the burning question on everybody's mind is, "What the heck is married-woman sex and how do I have it?"

Unfortunately, a key point always gets missed. Women must first work through any negative feelings she has towards sex before she can move forward with married-woman sex. The operative word here is "work", not shove down, ignore or deny.

When the quick-fix cart is put before the libido horse, a woman will compound her low sex drive frustration. A common example is when people ask me to teach them new "sex tricks", thinking it will translate to more interesting sex and a higher sex drive. Wrong answer. Years of unresolved, unacknowledged bedroom frustration will stifle any joy gleaned from sexy new moves.

Stop Trying to Lose Weight 

DateMonday, March 8, 2010 at 12:05PM

By Arthur Polite

Are you trying to lose weight by taking some miracle diet pill or following some weight loss program that is suppose to work for everyone regardless of their physical circumstances? For years we have trained our mind and body to develop bad eating habits and lifestyles that have resulted in our being overweight. It is time that you stop trying to simply lose weight but instead change those things that caused you to become overweight in the first place.

How many times have you started a weight loss or diet program just to end up losing those nutrients necessary for a healthy life, or giving up on the program, or even gaining all your weight back if not more? Don't worry... YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Most of us know the weight loss or diet industry brings in billions of dollars by telling us...take this pill...don't eat this or that...drink this shake...eat this meal...exercise this way...follow this plan etc. You are blasted with... before and after pictures... but when you look at yourself in the mirror what have you really done?

You pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit comfortably in front of your pc, you type in "online psychic" into Google, hit search and then....well....then you scratch your head!

Numerology Meanings - Do You Know the Secrets Hidden Within Your Names and Date of Birth? 

DateFriday, March 5, 2010 at 03:59PM

By Joanna Payge

Numerology Meanings are fascinating because they reveal the hidden depths of our personalities and our purpose in life. Our name and in fact our entire world is based on numbers - where would we be without them? We wouldn't have CLOCKS, DATES IN HISTORY, PHONE NUMBERS... the list is endless.

You can learn so much about yourself or another person (partner, child, friend etc) when you understand the meaning of the different core numerology numbers that you can calculate from your full birth name and date of birth.

Top Ten Myths About Tarot Cards and Tarot Reading 

DateFriday, March 5, 2010 at 03:21PM


By Fred Street

From Quantum Tarot by Kay Stopforth and Chris Butler 

Myth 1 - "Tarot cards can predict the future"

Predicting the future is not difficult we can all do it. If for example you know someone who is consistently spending more than they earn and paying for it by building up a credit card debt then it's not hard to predict where that one is heading. Or if you know someone who is expecting a baby you may, based on experience, accurately predict that they will have many months of sleep deprivation and tiredness ahead of them. The Tarot does little more than this. It has centuries of human experience distilled into a simple philosophy and meaning for each card. Another way to look at it is to say the Tarot doesn't make precise predictions of the future it merely allows us glimpses at some of the likely possibilities.

Cruise the Eastern Caribbean - The Top 10 Islands 

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 04:58PM

By Roddy Freeman

It still feels like winter in most of the U.S. Now through Spring is a terrific time to cruise the warm-weather islands of the Eastern Caribbean.

The Eastern Caribbean is my favorite part of the islands. The region offers a wide choice of ports-of-call. Plus there's a bonus. Lots of small, unknown islands populate the waters. In fact, not being able to see an island from the ship rarely happens.

The Eastern islands are less developed and commercialized than their Northern Caribbean brethren. Their topography is divided into mountainous rain forests and lush green valleys. Beaches are pristine white with coral reefs at their edge. Cascading rivers and turquoise blue sea comprise the waters inland and off the beach, respectively. The islands are mountainous and volcanic in origin. Some volcanoes still smolder to this day. The landscape is full of sharp contrasts, from ragged peaks with thick rain forests to flowing meadows and pastureland. The panoramic view as the ship approaches is breathtakingly beautiful.

Keeping Fit Includes Exercise For the Brain 

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 04:49PM

By Dr. Lorne Label

When most people think of exercise, they envision working out to keep their bodies physically fit and healthy. But the brain - so important to living a full life -- also needs an ongoing exercise regimen to stay agile and alert as we grow older.

Scientists used to believe that people were basically stuck with the brain they were born with - and that individuals naturally began to lose cognitive function as they aged. This old thinking allowed people to accept memory loss as inevitable and believe that nothing could be done about it.

However, recent brain research - conducted over the past few years - has shown that the brain constantly renews itself, providing new hope for those with cognitive decline. And, we now know that the brain can learn as much in the second half of life as it did during the first half. However, during the senior years this learning may require more repetition and it may take a little longer. The key is to give the brain a daily workout so that it will constantly generate new cells and neural pathway connections, thereby creating a higher level of brain functionality.

The Best Exotic Pets 

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 03:57PM

By Troy Foote

The term "exotic pets" leads many people to think of expensive, hard to manage and maintain animals that try hard to escape and want only to eat your family. This is not necessarily true; the category encompasses a whole lot of much smaller, and family friendly pets. Cats and dogs are nice family pets, but are not always a real viable option. Apartment dwellers might find it easier to keep a small, exotic pet, and in fact, in some buildings certain types may be the only ones allowable.

Some of the best exotic pets and ones that are popular for children are some of the simplest to care for. Look for the animals that are most child friendly, which would rule out any potentially poisonous, feistier than average or Houdini-esque pets. Keep to the ones that have at least a modicum of the cute factor to them, and always keep in mind that you are going to potentially be adopting this animal in a few weeks.

Adopting a Shelter Dog - How to Introduce Your Shelter Dog to His New Home 

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 03:38PM

By Anne Pottinger

I ask people all the time, why spend money to buy a dog when you can adopt a needy, loving dog from your local animal shelter and it will cost virtually nothing. Purebred puppies are often plagued with health issues, caused by over breeding - problems that are often completely removed from dogs of mixed breeds.

But if your heart is set on a purebred, this can still be achieved at your local shelter. When I visited mine recently there were two spaniels, two black Labradors, one golden retriever and a Boston terrier that were without question, purebreds. As far as I could see they were all great dogs and were only dumped at the shelter because their owners had no idea how to train them properly - or had little time to devote to them.

Another way to find a great purebred dog in need of a caring home is to search on the breed name + rescue on the Internet. Many breed specific organizations maintain connections with pounds and shelters and move quickly to pick up dogs, then hold them for adoption into permanent homes.

What's Going Through a Dog's Mind When it Bites? 

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 03:31PM

By Kyle Montgomery

There is no such thing as a dog that is mean or aggressive simply for the sake of being mean or aggressive even though it may often seem that way. Nearly a million people are admitted to a hospital each year with a dog bite injury and a couple dozen of those actually die.

It is important to understand the mind of a dog to best avoid violent or aggressive reactions from the animal. Even dogs that seem to always be friendly can potentially bite a person if they misunderstand that persons actions. There are specific reasons for dog aggression that can be avoided more often than not provided you understand the dogs behavior.

How To Cut A Dog's Nails Without The Blood, Sweat and Tears!

DateThursday, March 4, 2010 at 03:19PM

By Marion Herbertson

Your Dog's Nails

How to cut a dog's nails is one of the most frequently asked question when it comes to grooming dogs.

Knowing how to cut a dog's nails is so important and if you're wondering how to trim a dog's nails - you need look no further. As usual, we've done all the research for you and presented you with a step by step guide on this delicate procedure.

Knowing not only how, but also when to cut a dog's nails is so important. Your dog's nails grow constantly and how often they need to be clipped will depend on your dog's lifestyle. If you dog does a lot of his walking on hard surfaces, he may very well need little or no extra help in keeping his nails short as his nails will be naturally worn away through friction.

However, if like our dogs, your dog mainly stays on grass, sea sand and woodland tracks, clipping dog nails becomes an essential part of his or her grooming and it becomes important that you know how to clip dog nails.

The Effects Of Boredom, Loneliness And Separation Anxiety On Your Family Pet

DateTuesday, March 2, 2010 at 03:22PM

By Joseph Chase Meanders

Most pet owners consider their four-legged friends as members of the family. Owners tell funny stories to friends about their pets amusing antics. Some pet owners even celebrate the birthdays of their feline and canine companions. Like other family members, owners cuddle with pets, talk to them, nurse them when they are sick, and punish them when they do things that are against the rules. Yet, while most pets are well-behaved, many owners have come home to find things ripped to shreds by their dog or that their cat soiled a favorite comforter. As much as owners may react harshly by yelling at or otherwise punishing their furry friends, consider the likelihood that these pets are reacting out of boredom, loneliness, and separation anxiety.

The reality is that many pets are subject to boredom, loneliness and separation anxiety just as children are. Although it is difficult to rationalize the destruction of property, pet owners should be careful not to anthropomorphize (to ascribe human characteristics to things not human) pet behavior. It is essential to realize that animals need mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom and loneliness. Pets enjoy the company of their fellow pack animals to alleviate loneliness, for example, and an owners patient and compassionate help in overcoming separation anxiety is critical.

Sexual Dreams are Not What They Seem 

DateMonday, March 1, 2010 at 03:33PM

By John Goldhammer

So we can say if you are not connected properly with your own dream life, then you are liable to develop some kind of neurotic behavior./> - Marie Louise von Franz

Here's a fascinating paradox: Most sexual dreams are not literally about sex. Instead dreams with sexual images and experiences are more often exploring creative dilemmas: the process of creating new life, connecting to our passion and creative potential. For example, a good friend who had been intending to restart her art career for years, dreamt that she was trying to make love with her ex husband but could not quite do it because he couldn't maintain an erection. Their marriage had ended long ago and they did not have any interest in getting back together. So my friend's dream did not have any literal connection to her waking life at all except on a symbolic level. She told me that her former husband was in fact a talented artist. Her dream used sex, the act of creating new life, to show her that she was unable to get back into her creative life because she could not maintain her passion -- the "erection."

The Difference Between Combative Training and Martial Arts

DateTuesday, February 23, 2010 at 06:22PM

By Andrew Curtiss

Getting the facts straight

Recently, I was checking the sales ranking for my book on Amazon.com, when I noticed I have finally received a customer review on Amazon. After reading the review, I found myself humbled and dumb founded. The customer who reviewed my book on military knife and hand to hand combat was obviously a practicing martial artist.

He appeared to be one of the "Know it all" types as well. Although much of his review on the layout of my book may be spot on; I was amazed at his blatant ignorance in not knowing the difference between combative training and martial arts. In his own words,"Though the author may know what he is doing in this book, you may already as well. If you took some sort of M.A. class for any period of time that was worth anything, then you would have learned most if not half of these techniques for knife fighting. " I must agree with him on this.

If you take some sort of  martial arts class for any period of time; that is worth anything; eventually you may learn half of the techniques in the book. Although I clearly state in the book that my attempt is not to teach specific techniques, but use techniques as a vehicle to drive home principles; and  I admit that there are countless numbers of techniques one can learn, not simply limited to my book. This guy  "Cliff" is the example of how many can not distinguish the difference between martial art and combative training.

Attracting Money Into Your Feng Shui Home 

DateTuesday, February 23, 2010 at 06:12PM

By San Dan Yi

I will discuss how to utilize two Feng Shui cures that will help attract more money into your home and, simultaneously, slow down the amount of money that is flowing out of your home.

In order to achieve this goal, we will take a look at two well known Feng Shui symbols: The Feng Shui frog and the Feng Shui turtle. These symbols have to do with Feng Shui wealth and are associated with the Feng Shui money aspect of your living environment.

Frogs symbolize the leaping effect of money coming into your life and, in this case, your home. Ideally, Feng Shui frogs should be placed outside of your home. A Feng Shui home will usually have frogs located somewhere in front of the house or apartment. I like to place 3 frogs on the front lawn, several feet apart.

Yoga Studios - How to Choose a Home For Yoga and Meditation 

DateTuesday, February 16, 2010 at 03:09PM

By Aadil Palkhivala

If you are new to yoga, or new to the area and looking for a new studio to call your home, there are a few things you need to watch for when choosing a yoga studio. With the increase in the popularity of yoga, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of yoga studios as well as exercise facilities who have begun to offer yoga instruction. Since yoga is an unregulated field at this time, it is important to know how to navigate through the sea of yoga teachers-ensuring your safety, comfort, and success. Everyone can do yoga, but there can be associated health hazards. With the same care that you would put into selecting a health professional, you should put into selecting a yoga professional.

How to Get Started

When you begin to look for a yoga studio, you'll want to clarify what your intention is for doing yoga. Most studios will report that students start yoga because they desire greater physical conditioning. Others come because they seek a deeper integration between their body and their spirit, looking to work on the inner aspects of the physical practices. Others come because they are healing from another sports injury and recognize that yoga can be safe and potentially therapeutic. Take a moment to answer the question, "Why do I do yoga? What do I want out of my yoga practice?"
