Now and then your pet may experience constipation. An easy, organic, non-drug treatment is to add plain canned pumpkin to her diet. Mix it right into her food. Pets typically like the taste and won’t refuse it, which makes this treatment a breeze. Use sparingly, however, so not to cause diarrhea. Plain canned pumpkin is available at pet stores or your favorite grocery.

Is your adolescent kitten being rowdy and rambunctious? Wish he’d stop and take a nap? Put a dab of butter on your finger and point it at him. He’ll be curious and come running. When he tastes the butter, he’ll lick it from your finger. Then he’ll go curl up somewhere comfy to wash his face. Next thing you know, he’s sound asleep. Easy as butter.

Trying to catch a dog that’s running loose? First, stop chasing him! Sit on the ground facing sideways from him, and yawn really really big. Make sure he sees you yawn, but don’t look right at him. Stay sideways. This tells the dog you are not a threat, so he’ll stop running. Now rattle a box of dog treats, and you have a new best friend, safe and sound off the streets.

Animal welfare has always been and will always be my heart’s work. If my only legacy is that I save a handful of precious souls that would not survive otherwise, I’m good with that.
