			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because it is an Asian and African beast, the elephant, and <a href="http://www.onlyfigurines.com/categories/Elephant-Figurines/">elephant figurines</a>, have enamored the imaginations of a number of cultures.  Although dazzling to someone&#8217;s eye, the image of the elephant is also quite impressive when it comes to the human subconscious.  Being the largest land beast on this plant, the elephant exemplifies 4 extremely outstanding traits.
<p><b>Strength and Power:</b>  Ok.  This variable is rather obvious.  Hannibal used their potency and power to almost destroy Rome.  Elephants have always been used to transport large freights, both in reality as well as in symbol.</p>
<p><b>Perseverance:</b>  Successful people in the world must possess the strength to persevere in the face of all setbacks.  And the elephant is recognized throughout the world as the 1 beast that NEVER stops.  Elephants travel 100&#8217;s of miles each twelve months, in painful heat, without water, in order to arrive at water-filled rivers. That is one reason why it is so lucky to have elephant figurines next to a water source, for example, a <a href="http://www.tabletopfountainstore.com/categories/Copper-Fountains">copper fountain</a>.</p>
<p><b>Patience / Wisdom:</b> Strength is all around us all the time.  So are smarts.  But strength and smarts are a rare combination seen in elephants. Using this soundness, elephants realize this and <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/Is-Boxing-Like-Love">relationships</a> are one of the most significant dimensions of living a long life.</p>
<p><b>Dignity:</b> The elephant would not play so fortuitously at hide-and-go-seek.  In a world where &#8220;big&#8221; has come to take on connotations of improper or ravenous, the elephant was biologically created to be massive and dignified.  Elephants do not walk softly about the jungle or hush-up because they don&#8217;t want to appall other lesser animals.  Mayhap you&#8217;ll look upon the distinguished elephant the next instance you view yourself in the mirror and create lousy self-image thinkings.</p>
<p>Throughout history, and in numerous distinct cultures, the elephant has consistently represented Strength, Perseverance, Wisdom, and Self-respect.  I am curious as to how YOU could employ these facts to besiege yourself with such fortunate properties this instant.</p>

They are able to stay home a long time, understand how to leave you alone, are considerate about keeping clean, are able to use only the proper area for the bathroom and are overall very clean animals. Cats seem to have a sense of when to be there next to you and when to disappear for a bit. Another great part about cats is how and when they nap. Some cat&#8217;s sleep upside down, others sleep in a corner, some cuddle next to the fire or even on the bed. When they are napping (which is any time in the day) they look so peaceful and so happy. Sometimes their little whiskers will twinkle around. They loved to be brushed to get all that hair that sheds daily off, so they feel <a href="http://www.resultslaboratories.com">faster and refreshed</a>. Cats also don&#8217;t need much food and can drink a lot of water. Water is one of the most important things for cat to maintain in their little bodies. Cats love to play with toys, especially the little mice with the tails, their brains are engineered to recognize and &#8220;play with&#8221; the mice that remind them of the &#8220;real thing&#8221;. They like to scratch things and stretch out their paws and it looks like it feels so good. Cats can come when called; it just takes a bit of persistence to &#8220;get them to come&#8221;. But once they know their names they will perk right up upon demand. Please go get it a cat; it will brighten the room, house and day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can you comprehend a time when dog food, cat food, or pet treats did not even exist?</p>
<p>The very first commercial dog food was a product produced in the year 1860. James Pratt, an American, was visiting England from the US when he saw dogs surviving off left-over biscuits from ships. So he prepared a dog biscuit product consisting of wheat meal, vegetable, beetroot and meat, and began selling them entirely to British rural gentlemen who owned sporting dogs.</p>
<p>Much has changed since then&#8230;&#8230;. as our ideas of nutrition have advanced, so have our pets&#8217; foods.</p>
<p>New products such as dry kibble, canned foods, and moist products have varied our choices substantially.</p>
<p>For many dog and cat owners, the food that we give our animals means a great deal, while the treats we give them are merely an afterthought. Even the most health-conscious pet owners who purchase expensive cat and dog food often go to the supermarket and  buy the least expensive treats. Why is it that so many of us have a habit of feeding our pets top shelf foods and then give them relatively poor treats with the nutritional value of paper? We ask a lot of our pets&#8217; foods. Even the healthiest cat or dog food does not have everything. Each pet has specific needs.<br />
Because we only feed our pets around 2 times a day or so, treats are a superb supplement to their diets. Even 2 or 3 treats a day really adds up in the long haul. If we are going to add calories, they really should be healthy ones.</p>
<p>Your supermarket is filled with treats that are full of poor ingredients. Here are a few things you will definately want to look out for:<br />
Soybean meal, wheat, wheat meal, corn gluten meal, corn meal, whole/crushed corn, and maize are very frequently used for their protein. They cost far less to include in a treat than the superior quality carbohydrates or meat protein such as chicken or fish. In addition to this, soybean meal as well as ground corn and wheat are common pet allergens.<br />
Also keep this in mind when choosing a cat food or a dog food.</p>
<p>Artificial food coloring is widely used even though they are completely unnecessary and have even been linked to medical issues. It is believed by some in the medical field that if an ingredient is foreign to the body the body reacts to it and can cause numerous health issues. Pets care more about taste than color.<br />
By-products are an easy way for dog food or cat food and treat firms to keep costs down. Instead of using whole meats, they use by-products. These are obviously the less desirable parts of animals.</p>
<p>Essentially, by-products are all of the items that you would not willingly feed to your pet. Stawa away from them if possible.</p>
<p>There are a number of other items that the labels do not always reveal to us. For example, condemned parts of animals not good enough for human injestion are sometimes rerouted into commercial treats. These parts may be the parts of animals who are dead, dying, decayed or even diseased</p>
<p>In addition, certain meats, grains and other ingredients cannot be sold for use by people. They are either damaged or else the meat does not have the look that the US Dept. of Agriculture officials want. Sadly, we cannot always decipher this from the label. This goes for treats, dog food as well as cat food.</p>
<p>Furthermore, some companies have lower standards pertaining to the freshness of the ingredients they use. Though there should be a &#8220;use by&#8221; date or code on most packages. We would not eat stale cookies so why would we want to give anything but fresh ingredients to our pets? Again this applies to dog food and treats and cat products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have waited eleven months for your foal to arrive. Now he is here what can you do to ensure he gets off to the best possible start in life?</p>
<p>Make sure that the foal sucks. A normal foal should stand and drink from the mare within two hours.  If the foal is having difficulty sucking, or is not interested, he may have serious problems. Call an experienced equine vet sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Colostrum, the first milk, is very important. It contains all the antibodies your foal needs to protect him from infectious disease. A foal needs between 1.5 &#8211; 2 litres of good quality colostrum. It is most important to make sure he gets enough.</p>
<p>If the foal won&#8217;t suck you can collect some colostrum from the mare and give it by bottle. Or the vet can put it directly into the foal&#8217;s stomach using a tube.  Colostrum substitutes are available if the mare doesn&#8217;t have any milk.</p>
<p>The foal&#8217;s intestines can only absorb colostrum for the first 24 hours or so. After that, the vet can give a plasma transfusion to boost the antibodies if necessary.</p>
<p>Check that the foal is passing meconium. Meconium is the firm dark feces that has built up during the foal&#8217;s time inside the mare. Colt foals, in particular, can have problems passing this because their pelvis is narrow. Your veterinarian may recommend giving an enema.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to have the vet to give the foal a check-up. The vet can give an injection to protect the foal from tetanus. This is especially important if the mare has not been vaccinated recently. A blood sample can be taken from the foal to check that adequate antibodies have been absorbed.</p>
<p>Probiotics may be useful in preventing &#8220;foal heat scours&#8221;, which often occur about 10 days of age.  The diarrhoea is probably due to the digestive system adapting to life outside the mare rather than anything to do with the mare&#8217;s hormones.</p>
<p>Carefully monitor the foal&#8217;s progress. Even those foals that appear normal at birth can develop problems later on. Foals should become brighter and more active over the first few days.  One of the first signs of serious infection is that the foal becomes dull or spends more time sleeping.</p>
<p>With good care and attention from an early age you and your new foal can look forward to an exciting future together.</p>
