Why Adopting A Pet Is So Rewarding    *Today's article comes from passionate animal advocate Samantha A. Ray, who is joining us to share reasons why adopting animals from shelters is such a powerful thing to do... for you, your family, friends and neighbors, and for the world. I am the owner of some of the most loving animals in the world. Some call me a crazy cat lady because in the past few years I have adopted three cats from animal shelters. Each one has its own personality and temperament that make them unique and interesting. Every day I think "What if I hadn't adopted them? Would they be out alone in the world? Or worse?" I believe that they are grateful that I saved them, and I know that I'm grateful that they were there to be saved. Adopting an animal is so much more rewarding than purchasing one from a store, and here is why: 1. When it comes to dollars and cents, adoption is cheaper. Buying a pure-bred animal can get v...

How You Can Become A Volunteer With Animal Rescues   * Today's article was written by Dennis Lubrano, who invites our readers to contact him directly via: dennislubrano@gmail.com Yes - you can become an animal rescue or sanctuary volunteer in your community.

 -- World of Writing --  * Today we have the pleasure of hosting an interview with author H. Alan Day - a rancher and cowboy for most of his life. He and his sister, Sandra Day O’Connor, co-authored the New York Times bestselling memoir, Lazy B, about growing up on a southwestern cattle ranch. In his new memoir, The Horse Lover: A Cowboy’s Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs , released this past March by University of Nebraska Press, Alan shares his story about creating the first government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary and caring for and training 1500 wild mustangs. Alan’s website is www.TheHorseLover.com .     Q: What have you learned about working with your co-writer? I’ve now co-authored two books and they have been different experiences. For Lazy B, Sandra and I agreed that I would write my stories about growing up on the ranch and send them to her. She did some editing and that was about it. For The Horse Lover, which I co-a...

-- Quote of the Day --  “A sleep disorder is really just a broad category for all the various symptoms we have to get a good night’s sleep. – So; do we have a difficult time falling to sleep, …staying asleep, …are we having a restless night, how is our energy in the morning, are we waking up tired, are we struggling throughout the day – and sometimes when we are not getting enough sleep it triggers chemicals in the brain that tell us we are hungry even when we are not. …I’m always fascinated by the way our body is always communicating with us and if we are listening… we are able to get back to that balance. …Our thoughts create our feelings… if we can shift the way we are thinking it shifts our experience as well. …So often we feel that these things are happening to us, but I feel that they act like a fire alarm letting us know that our thoughts are out of balance. …High vibration content before bed… that help show us the loving peaceful side of humanity...

Help us in this fantastic campaign to feed animals in shelters... This morning we received a very inspiring email from Michele Hollow, an online friend of ours and former guest on our radio show: "I am hosting my annual Comments for Pet Food drive. All you have to do is leave a comment here:   http://petnewsandviews.com/2012/11/your-comment-equals-50-bowls-of-pet-food / and your comment will feed 50 shelter cats and dogs. That's it. Nothing else."  How inspiring is that?  So of course I went over to the URL this morning and left a comment. Such a small thing, took only one minute, and I was able to help feed 50 meals to animals. Rediculously easy! - Be sure to scroll down the page when you get to that URL to find that comment form. Not having pets when in my childhood, I embraced having cats as companions (despite allergies) right up to just a few years ago when the older cats passed on. As a couple, Dave and I have had rescue and adopted (from shelters) animals...

-- Quote of the Day  --  “…When we first walked into the rescue center it was just surreal, because there were nearly 19,000 oiled penguins in this massive warehouse that had been set up as a temporary animal hospital in only 3 days time. …The volunteers that came were from every walk of life and everybody was so earnest, so eager to do what they could to help. …We had the largest animal rescue ever taken and the highest success rate – a wonderful tribute to the 12,500 volunteers that showed up to save them. …There are tens of thousands of ships – many of them from WW2 – lying on the bottom of the ocean, and there are recreational and fishing vessels. And what happens is there is oil and fuel in these ships and some of this is released during the sinking, but over time as corrosion takes its toll and metal begins to break down this oil is released. And so these mystery oil spills have an impact on the environment as well.”  ~ Dyan DeN...
