My luck! The last time
I turned over a new leaf, it was poison ivy.
In a movie theater, you can still find
the cops on the screen. But the crooks are behind the
refreshment stand.
I live in a tough but quiet
neighborhood. All night long in the streets, you can hear
people whispering for help.
A man runs into an old friend who says,
"Gee, Tom, you look very stressed."
"Stressed? Youre kidding.
Look how slowly Im twitching."

Weekly Column
Natural Nutrition
by Mari An Willis
There are several herbal
remedies which have been used to help control
fleas. Several of our customers make their own
"collarkerchiefs" with a blend of herbs
including equal parts of dried and chopped
pennyroyal, eucalyptus and garlic leaves rolled
into a bandana and sewed closed. This makes a
cute and practical collar. It should be changed
about every three weeks depending upon the
activity of your pet. It has been noted that
giving pets regular doses of garlic and brewers
yeast will help repel fleas. The consistency of
this addition to their diet equals the success
rate.
Ideally, give the pet daily
dosages year round to have maximum protection.
The coat takes on a sleek shiny appearance from
the brewers yeast and the addition of B vitamins
helps to keep pests at bay. Pet Guard puts out a
tablet which is handy as a treat or one may add
powdered garlic and brewers yeast to the dog or
cat food.
If bad breath is a problem for
your animal, try giving them a little liquid
chlorophyll in the water or sprouts. Yes, alfalfa
sprouts are also good for your animals and they
will generally eat what their body requires.
Alfalfa is known for helping arthritic joints in
human and animals.
A pot full of catnip makes a
nice gift for the cat fancier. Fresh catnip is
frequently ignored by felines until it starts to
dry. Then they make a ritual out of destroying
the plant! Best to harvest the leaves and give
them a few at a time.
