Researching toxic chemicals in everyday products..NOW FUR- PETS!!

http://www.healthystuff.org/departments/pets/

come see this FURiends, and those who LOVE us..

our mom was chemically injured & it changed the way we live FURever..
in many ways it can be a curse, but in many more, a BLESSING.

we look at the world in a new way, and oftentimes, we are thankful FUR what we are careful not to be exposed to. tho we're not here to judge, we can share a little of what we know, and perhaps it will enrich your life too.

way too many learned hard lessons by nefarious ways & means with poisons entering our furry loved ones food supply, and cost lives and broke hearts. some made profits by others losses, and it was a cruel undertaking. if it taught us anything, it was to be informed. being informed in this world is not always the worst way to approach life. it may cost time and PAWhaps money, but hopefully, will pay off in the long run. that knowledge is power is a motto we live by. we don't expect everyone to do as we do or so as we say. it's simply a choice. take it or leave it mates..

at the very least you may learn something new. that can never hurt.
so we decided to share what we came across..
let us know what you think if you want.
all the best,
m, m & angel m

danke shein

we're writing en mass to say thanks to all the pups & their families who have recently written or sent gifts to us. we always write individually, but of late have been remiss. it is not due to neglect, and we aPAWlogize to any & all who have not heard a word of thanks from us.

with woof,

FDA Approves First Anti-Cancer Drug for Dogs

AKC Canine Health Foundation News Alert

FDA Approves First Anti-Cancer Drug for Dogs [Tuesday, June 23, 2009]

The US Food and Drug Administration has announced the approval for the first
anti-cancer drug created specifically for use in veterinary medicine. The
research efforts to develop Palladia, which is used to treat skin-based mast
cell tumors, was led by Dr. Cheryl London of the Ohio State University
College of Veterinary Medicine.

The AKC Canine Health Foundation began funding mast cell tumor research in
2000 with a grant to Dr. London, then at the University of California,
Davis. Since then, CHF has allocated more than $200,000 in support of mast
cell research. Dr. London's original work studied the biological effects of
c-kit mutations on mast cells, leading to a more detailed understanding of
canine mast cell tumors. This early work provided a framework for the
development of new therapies and disease prevention. Dr. London has also
spent time researching the biology of normal mast cells to provide a
platform for future work investigating the genetic basis of mast cell
disease in dogs.

Dr. Elizabeth Whitley, of Auburn University, has also studied mast cell
tumors. Dr. Whitley's research has focused on the physiology of mast cells,
and working to develop a system for matching tumors with appropriate
treatment to improve treatment success.

urge the OREGON SENATE to STOP PUPPY MILLS

PAWlease get involved and help Sto p Puppy Mills in OREGON

Thanks to the actions of advocates, legislation (H.B. 2470) to crack down on puppy mills in Oregon has passed the House by a vote of 46-13 and now awaits action in the Senate. Unfortunately, puppy mill producers are working around the clock to defeat this bill, so it is critical that Oregon senators hear from constituents who support this bill. We are so close to the finish line and your voice could make all the difference!

Puppy mills are large-scale production facilities that churn out puppies for sale in pet stores, over the Internet, and directly to the public. Dogs are treated like cash crops, constantly bred and kept in continuous confinement and horrible conditions. Recent puppy mill raids highlight the need for legislation in Oregon and we now have a chance to make the lives better for dogs at these large-scale operations.

PAWlease TAKE ACTION
Please take a moment to call your state senator to urge support for H.B. 2470!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow

Many furry thanks Flicka, Lucas, Angel Cleo & PAM FUR all the wonderful work done on our pages (layouts). You put a lot of HEART in everything you do- but that we can see your HAND here & there around Dogsterland.. makes us smile everytime.

We feel blessed to have your hand IN what we do too, and while we speak on one hand, why not another? may yours heal swiftly & fully, DEAR one. Although my angels, Heavenly & Earth are the sort that never would be considered a problem child, that you put up with their mum speaks volumes about how special you truly are..
:)
Thanks mate.

recycling is always a good thing

we're 'borrowing' this from Sully & Socks, who borrowed it from...
we believe it's a good thing..(to help stop the other thing, that is)

PAWlease, help our ancestral mates.

You Can Help Stop Alaska's Aerial Gunning of Wolves!

March 17th 2009 5:59 pm

Last fall, Ashley Judd helped Defenders of Wildlife expose Governor Palin's efforts to eliminate vital federal protections for America's struggling polar bears. Now, as Governor Palin expands the barbaric aerial slaughter of wolves, Ms. Judd is speaking out once again. "I am outraged by Sarah Palin's promotion of this cruel, unscientific and senseless practice which has no place in modern America," she said to Rodger Schlickeisen, President of Defenders of Wildlife. "I am proud to be a part of Defenders Action Fund's efforts to stop it."

Watch Ashley Judd's new video and please take action today. Governor Palin needs to know that caring people like you from across the nation find her cruel aerial wolf slaughter appalling. Please join me by sending your own message to Governer Palin, urging her to end this brutal practice once and for all. It's fast and easy. The website will show you how.

(Pl ease pass this along to anyone you know who would be interested.)

(Being members of Defenders of Wildlife, we've been fighting this for a long time now, but seeing Lydia's (and other pups' diary entries, we have borrowed it (thank you Lydia) so, hopefully, more people can see it! Sully & Socks)

P.S.
ditto on members of Defenders of Wildlife..
that is NOT just cut & pasted..

THANKS GUYS,

angel mica & mirra

PAWsitively grand ways 2 say thanks

the words THANK YOU can never be overused, but we sometimes wish there was one to go2 that exceeded it, to make sure the recipient knows how special it is intended to be.
we sometimes use art to further that cause.. we don't know what else to do, except repeat ourselves..
*********************************************** *************************************
so we did that with ecollage® "© lovey tree lane"

it shows a group of dogs that deserve an honorable mention, of sorts. we'd like to share the story about why that is, if you wish to know.

ALL those on MICA'S TEAM are PAWticularly special to us!

PAWlease, don't get us wrong.. it's just there are some (actually IF people were allowed, there would be more pictured). that's because some of the mates who belong here don't have any pets.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

they really deserve our attention, because they don't really know how amazing it is to have a furry member of the FURmily, yet they GIVE FUR this cause anyway. in some ways, that is utterly PAWsome, is it not?

we hope that hanging around with us will help them get a furry loved one too. kind of like a shedding phenomenon, only without the fur.

but, this was created to HONOR the mates who not only are card-carrying members of MICA'S TEAM, they have come back, time & again, some.. again, again & again, to DONATE more funds FUR her cause.

******that's WHY we WISH there was a better word FUR THANKS.*******

so we honor them here today.. we hope they won't mind us mentioning them by name. IF they do, just BOL & we'll fix any troubling aspect tout suite.

those pictured are & representing the packs of:

Angel Asena
Angel Sadie & mica's sister Frannie
Angel Killy & Chali -mica's aunt & cousin
Angel Sophie & Hannah the brave
Angel Kiska & Angel Banjo
Angel Max [IMHA]
Angel Pretzel
Angus the warrior [IMHA]
Sully & Socks
Sassy
& my baby sister

with LOVE & HOPE, FUR awareness & a cure FUR IMHA,
asap

Bless everyFUR & their peeps FUR sure!

POP PAWlease update :>)

on behalf of our FURmily & margo, the zen cat.. Thank you everypup who sent prayers, kind thoughts & POP.. many p & e mails later, we can report some improvement of the sweet kitty.. she still maintains a high fever, but has shown improvement with sub Q fluids and antibiotics.. tho other symptoms are yet to abate, her attitude is better & all medicine aside, it's surely the strength & PAWsitive energies she's receiving from our mates that we feel is making such a difference FUR her.

our thankyou is such a small way to show our appreciation, but you have it, nonetheless.
pups & cats unite for the greater good. they teach our people how little it takes to stand tall & make a difference.
even small things create a ripple effect..that alone has the potential to create a wave of goodness. we feel FURtunate to be a part of this grand scheme.

hence,
we're very FURRY thankful for your encouragement & support. FUR good health & happiness to everypup & everycat, and of course, their peeps..

xoxo,
angel mica & mirra (& mel)

the purple girls of oregon (tpgoo)
