My boy Pippin loves to jump, so when I took him to agility classes he fell in love. Oh, to run, to jump, to speed through tunes with sheets covering them, to climb, to zig to zag, he was in his glory. To better practice with, I made my own agility apparatuses. This is the Tire Jump. It is a fun obstacle in the "Jump" category. This piece of equipment is found in almost all of agility trials, and by all the agility organizations. To make your own, we will need a piece of the black drainage tubing found at most home stores. The diameter needs to be between 19" and 24". The opening is the same for any size dog. I measured the tube to the right size and taped the ends together. The height, however, is adjusted for different size dogs. To make the frame you need PVC pipes. To built the frame, I first make the feet to hold it upright. The squire holding the ring or tire is then pieced together. To fasted the tire in place, I used a chain at the top so it can be lengthened or shorted. The side are secured by just plain old ribbon I use to make bows, but you can use tape, rope or what ever you like. Have Fun

The makers of Life's Abundance Pet Food also brings you Healthy Skin Products
In my previous post, I told you about an herbal spray you can make and use on your dogs. However, for those of you that do not like to make things I will tell you about an herbal blend that will enhance the health of our pet's skin that you can buy at http://www.pipschoice.com/ (this is not to be use on us though). 
We all know that sometimes our pet’s skin can look just awful! They bite and scratch themselves and we feel hopeless. That’s where Soothing Mist by HealthyPetNet comes to the rescue. Soothing Mist spray enhances the natural life cycle of healthy skin.

It contains a calming blend of pure flower and plant extracts, including Aloe Vera, Calendula, Lavender, and Chamomile and it never makes the coat greasy.

This gentle formula feels good on the skin and doesn't sting like other topical skin products can. Finally, an herbal product that you can spray on your pet's skin and feel confident that you are doing the right thing!

Cooling Mist an Aromatherapy Spray for You and Your Dog
Hot Summer days can be very irritating for us and pets. I like to cool down with a nice herbal spray. This nice, refreshing spray is very effective both as a insect spray and a cooling spray on your skin. For use on your dog just give a spritz on their back and tummy.
This is what you need:
3 ounces of filtered water
1 ounce of unscented alcohol or you can use a cheap vodka
6 drops of basil essential oil
4 drops of juniper berry essential oil
4 drops of peppermint essential oil
Mix all the ingredients together in a small spray bottle and shake well before each use.
Peppermint is good for travel sickness, vomiting and nausea.
Juniper is good for arthritis and kidney problems.
Basil is good for grief and pining (a feeling of deep longing)

Timberwolf Organics is recalling two of their foods
Timberwolf Organics is recalling two of their pet foods, Dakota Bison and Ocean BluePosted on their website today…
From Timberwolf Organics
Due to recent reports from some customers, we have ordered that two formulas from three specific dates be pulled from the shelves. These are: Dakota Bison with ‘best by date’ of 12 Feb 2009 Ocean Blue with ‘best by date’ of 20 Feb 2009 Ocean Blue with best by date’ of 8 March 2009 The reported symptoms include dogs refusing to eat, diarrhea or vomiting. While the problem is inconsistent (not every dog eating food from those dates/bag show the symptoms and not every bag), to err on the side of caution have decided to pull the formulas produced with the above dates. Initial testing has come back negative for problems and further testing is pending results. As soon as the cause of this reported problem is determined procedures will be put into place to ensure that an event like this cannot happen again. Please be assured that no other formulas and Ocean Blue and Dakota Bison with dates other than ones listed above are not affected.
Just one more reason to check out Life's Abundance and Flint River Ranch.
Life's Abundance food was formulated, fed and tested according to the Nutritional profiles of the American Association for Feed Control Officials for all stages of life. Flint River Ranch is nutritionally complete and balanced, exceeding AAFCO nutrient profiles.

Every now and then I like to tell people about some of the other products I have in my business.

The Free Sample includes two quarter-ounce jars of the Face & Body Masque, a beautiful full-color catalog and cover letter with instructions on how to use the product. And it is mailed in a high-end, clear tube with a portion of the catalog showing through.

Thinking of becoming a Independent Field Representative for Life's Abundance? Why not try our Executive Packs.
We are very pleased to report that the Executive Packs are a real success. Over 60% of recruits purchase these packs and sign up as Executive Field Reps. That's great news for all of us because our statistics show that Executive Field Representatives are more successful than basic Field Representatives. Executive Reps make a commitment to their business and they have a better product knowledge. They also have an opportunity to sell products in the packs for a good profit if they choose and they get to share in the Recruiting Bonus Pool. Basic Field Reps are not eligible for the Recruiting Bonus Pool, which could mean thousands of dollars lost over time.
