RULES OF THE ROAD If you are planning

RULES OF THE ROAD If you are planning on taking your dog on a road trip with you this summer, here are some things to remember: GET UP TO DATE: Check your dog's vaccinations and tags. Bring copies of your shot records with you. Make sure all relevant information is available on their tags. PREPARE TO PREVENT: Put on a fresh coat of flea and tick preventative, and make sure they've had their heartworm preventative for the month. Bring a veterinary first aid kit with you. These are available at most pet stores. STOCK UP: Make sure you have enough food, medications, and bottled water with you for your dog. Bringing bottled water can sometimes prevent dogs from getting stomach aches due to changes in water content. BUCKLE UP: Get a canine car harness. They help your dog stay in one seat and remain secure during any quick stopping. These are available at pet stores. CHECK OUT BEFORE YOU CHECK IN: There are many pet-friendly hotels for you to stop at along the way. Dogfriendly.com, petswelcome.com, bringfido.com, and doginmysuitcase.com are just a few of the many sites that the many list pet friendly accommodations available. Never leave your dog alone in the hotel room. This will prevent them coming in contact with unknowns and keep them secure. Always put out the do not disturb sign to prevent anyone from accidentally opening the door to a surprise when your dog greets them, or worse letting the dog out into the hotel unleashed. PLAN FOR PIT STOPS: Remember to plan a stop every two to three hours for your dog to go to the bathroom. Always clean up after your dog. Never leave a dog alone in a parked car because heat conditions may rapidly change. Regardless of location, always keep your dog on leash for both your security and theirs.

"Indignados" Still Standing in Athens

"Indignados" Still Standing in Athens

Athens, July 3^rd 2011. The "Indignados" vowed to continue protesting in Athens despite the violent incidents that took place this week. Today, there was one more pan European mobilization against the austerity measures. However, in Athens there has been a significant change in the atmosphere compared to last Sunday. With anti-police slogans chanting through the air and new banners that vary from harsh criticism to comical, thousands gathered again in Syntagma. Once again, peddlers were everywhere selling from flags to hotdogs. People were the same "Indignados", "the angry ones". Angry at the banks. Angry at the labour market. Angry at the main political parties but most of all angry at the police. What were apparent in this gathering were the lost enthusiasm and the excitement of the previous Sundays. The participants, people of all ages including children, were skeptical while heavy riot police presence around Parliament was not only evident but very active. Tear gas was used around half past nine at the beginning of Ermou Rd while the square was packed and “the people's assembly” was taking place. The tension progressively reduced as people continued with a sit-in protest outside the parliament.

Need to Know: May 25^th 2011 the Syntagma "Indignados" joined for the first time the rallies in Puerta del Sol square in Madrid.

Happy Birthday, USA!

New Bern, NC - What would our “Founding Fathers” think if they could see how far we’ve come since July 4th, 1776?

Since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Americans celebrated their freedom, there have been countless milestones - especially those “Made in the United States of America”!

Sure, we have some “Naysayers” in the crowd, but you’ll have to excuse my optimistic outlook, especially on our Nation’s Independence Day!

Can you imagine how life would be back in 1776 without the following inventions made by Americans? Here are only some of countless innovations to think about:

Cotton gin, windshield wiper, airplane, can opener, electric streetcar, dishwasher, sewing machine, incandescent light bulb, mechanical reaper for harvesting crops, telegraph, blue jeans, Braille typewriter, 800 strains of plants, potatoes, plums, prunes, berries, trees, and flowers; products from peanuts, sweet potatoes, pecans, and soybeans; rubber substitute, adhesives, foodstuffs, dyes, pigments; mechanical cash register, celluloid, Pepsi-Cola, Coca-Cola, cotton candy, phonograph, carbon telephone transmitter, motion-picture projector, elevator brake, escalator, hot dogs, electric iron, metal zipper, motorcycles, potato chips, pushpin, revolving door, tractor, typewriter, vacuum cleaner, first conveyor belt-based assembly-line in a car factory, BAND-AID, bar codes, blood bank, automatic commercial bread slicer, cellophane, chocolate chips, Crayons, disposable diaper, etc.!

The above invention information was found on the Enchanted Learning website. Please visit this website for more details on the Inventors information and dates.

These luxuries are wonderful, but can't even come close to the fact that Slavery is over and the days of discrimation have long past. After spending 21+ years in the military, all colors, religions, etc. were my family. I believe one day, our Nation will unite like our forefathers expected when referring to us as the "United States".

I know I take things for granted; perhaps today is a day to reflect on how fortunate we are for those who fought for our freedoms and invented the luxuries that we have today.

I wish everyone has a fun-filled and safe Fourth of July, 2011!

Usually July Fourth is Black Berry "pickin" Day for our family. This year the raspberries took over the berry patch.

Grilled hamburgers, hotdog's are the typical holiday meal. This year we added a fresh raspberry batter pie from berry briar's to pie. I have never seen so many raspberries' in one place. They have been delicious in morning cereal, oatmeal, lunch and dinner salad and just to munch on. Looking forward to a homemade cheesecake with fresh raspberry topping.

FRISBEE BASICS - Dog Training Watching a dog

FRISBEE BASICS - Dog Training Watching a dog launch through the air and catch a frisbee is a beautiful thing, but they don't start out at that point. Here are a few tips to get Your dog started playing a fun game of catch. Start off by sliding the Frisbee back and forth on the ground in front. Let your dog take it out of your hand. Always keep it fun and use lots of praise! Throw the disc on the ground, rolling it like a wheel. This will allow the dog to get used to chasing it without a bad experience of possibly getting hit by a flying disc. When your dog is interested in playing with the Frisbee, toss it and let them chase. Keep the tosses short so the Frisbee stays clearly visible as an attractive object to retrieve. Be careful not to throw the Frisbee directly at your dog. You do not want to make them afraid. Stand about three feet in front of your dog, gently toss the Frisbee in the air and say "Catch." If your dog catches it, give them lots of praise. If it is not caught, pick it up off the ground yourself. The catch should be the reward. When your dog accomplishes this, stand to the side of your dog, so they learn to go get it. Once your dog is comfortable catching short throws, make your tosses longer. Attach a long leash, so you can gently guide your dog back to you. Do not push the dog too hard. If your dog loses interest, then quit for now and start when you are both fresh. Put the discs away when you are not there. You dog should realize the disc is a special toy that is only available during your Frisbee tossing sessions. Supplements for Dogs? You take a Multi-Vitamin, but how about one for your dog? Just like people, dogs can have gaps in their nutrition as well. These holes in the dog's nutrition can be due to the organs, glands and tissues that may be compromised by disease, surgery, injury, etc. By increasing the amount of proper nutrition in your dog's diet, you can effectively help him with regards to faster healing times, tissue regeneration, and improved return in overall function.
