This time of year is always about new beginnings.  January 1st ushered in a new day, a new month, a new year, and a new decade.  I also learned in numerology that the year 2020 is a “4”, and 4 is about manifesting all that you hope and dream of.  If you’re a cat mom […]

On Giving Tuesday a friend of mine was interested in adopting a beautiful kitty at a pet adoption event held at her workplace.  It’s an event looked forward to every year, and this year Rachel felt she was ready to take on the commitment.  However, there was just one issue.  This shelter cat came with […]

Probably best known for being hairless, the Sphynx breed of cat is full of personality.  They are very friendly, affectionate, enjoy being the center of attention, and tend to follow their owners around like dogs.  Back in October 2018 I was contacted by cat mom, Eve, regarding her Sphynx cat, Bi Nai.  He’s an indoor […]

  If you’ve never watched Rodney Habib’s documentary The Dog Cancer Series I highly recommend doing so.  I re-watched it over the past week, and it’s loaded with great information.  Granted, its focus is on dogs with cancer.  Nevertheless, there are so many great recommendations for holistic cancer treatment and prevention you can apply to […]
