SHELTER News:
George is an older, distinguished gentleman who was surrendered when his owner became too sick to care for him.
He is gray and white and a little blind and a little deaf, but still very active, confident and full of life. George also is very easy going and gets along well with other cats. He came in with two other cats, Abby and Maddie, and shelter staff and volunteers would love to see them all go to a home together.
Due to his age and the fact that he is declawed, George needs to be an indoor cat only.

So what’s the connection? If the diaphragm doesn’t do its job well, secondary muscles in the upper chest (pectoralis minor) and throat (Sternocleidomastoid and scalenes) and shoulders (trapezius and supra spinatus) Read More

How the Hen House Turns—The Human Factor (Part 5): Goose Whispering
How the Hen House TurnsMy strange relationship with Bobbi goose began when she grew into adolescence. I didn’t know then, that geese will establish a pecking order by mounting another goose when no gander is around. (The ducks also do that.) I thought Bobbi must be a male, and Bobbi thought I must be some kind of strange goose she needed to dominate.
Bobbi has never attacked me with a serious bite, but whenever I stay too long in the pen or herd them down the hill too early, the hackles rise along her long neck. (She is Read More
