THE LEASH DEBACLE.......

We have a new *leash law* in our Village which was put in place for the safety and best interests of both dogs and walkers. Although this rule has been on paper and in effect for over a month, most people aren't aware of it and when they're told about it they rebel. Ahh....such is humanity these days.

We are no longer allowed to use extendable leashes if we walk on pathways which are open to the community. This is a very good rule. I've passed people walking 3 or more dogs with an extendable leash for each dog. Because most people only have two hands, this gets a bit tricky as you need to be in a position to control your dog immediately. The lock device on these leashes often jams and the retractor device can't retract fast enough. We've seen lots of instances where bicyclists, walkers and dogs have been thrown of their bikes, tripped and broken a bone or have been bitten. If you try to pull the extendable rope, you'll rip your hands. It's bloody hell.

I've been the bearer of bad news for many people still walking with extendable leashes. After notifying them of the new rule and explaining the safety precautions, they've been quite upset with both me and the Home Owners Association.  

Our little Village pet store sells  fabulous Hemp leashes. They're soft, extremely strong and because they're reinforced with good solid stitching, they last a lifetime. They're made to handle up to 100 lbs of dog and they do. Most privately owned pet stores sell them for much less than you can buy  online. 

Extendable leashes are wonderful for walking in the wilderness or in very low traffic areas. But, think about the consequences of these leashes in public places.

Keep yourself, your dog and your community happy and enjoy the peace and quiet of a lovely *walk on the wild side.*

HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFT OFF !!

As you may know, Blime ripped the toenail off his left dew claw on Tuesday night and I've been patiently waiting for the toenail to fall off completely. I'm happy to report it fell off sometime this afternoon ! He is so happy and so am I.

This is a photo I just took of him; it's a bit hard to get a still because he's a crazy, moving Aries boy and capturing him on film is indeed a mystical experience. But what's fun about this photo is that he's put his left foot forward, knowing that this was the purpose of the photo shoot !

The Full Moon Aries vibes brought this uncomfortable and vulnerable wound to an end. The skin underneath is beautifully healthy and hell-bent on healing thanks to Wild Oil of Oregano.

It's to our benefit to learn how to heal ourselves with natural products and Wild Oil of Oregano should be in every one's cupboard. I use it every day myself because I won't get vaccines or flu shots; I won't put that poison in my system. Most of the vaccines today have caused thousands of neurological ailments and permanent diseases in children of all ages, yet parents continue to inject this vile substance into their young and themselves. The elderly are so hooked on synthetic drugs, they brush off natural/home remedies as if they're useless. No one seems to be getting the story straight and everyone is getting more unhealthy every day.

"Oil of Oregano supersedes all other over the counter antiseptics and, essentially, is superior to all commercial antiseptics combined. For instance, while hexachlorophene and hydrogen peroxide can kill microbes, all have been found in scientific studies to also kill human cells. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide causes extensive  tissue damage and thus, interferes with wound healing. In contrast, oil of oregano destroys germs as well as their spores without damaging human tissues."

If I had taken Blime to the Vet, they would have hurt him by pulling off the nail and they would have dressed the wound with all these commercial antiseptics. They would have pumped him full of synthetic antibiotics and they would have wrapped his foot for fear of infection setting in. There is nothing stronger than Wild oil of Oregano for wounds of this nature.

  *The Cure is in the Cupboard* is the book I use for healing information and instruction. It is loaded with insight and cures for dozens and dozens of ailments and diseases. 

Do you really want that Flu jab?  

THE HANKY PANKY OF HORMONES.....

The buzz lately, is all about the Mars/Venus conjunction ....people are *feeling the love,* ooooh baby !!! Now, as fascinating as all that is, there's much more exciting stuff going on with these two planets; Mars rules the Adrenal Glands and Venus rules the Thyroid gland. They both pack a big punch in the hormone department ! If these glands aren't working at full capacity, neither are you.

Remember the movie *The Sixth Sense?* Well, I read charts differently than most Astrologers. It's not so much *I see dead people,* as it is, *I see hormones.* Now, if I could just get Bruce Willis to help me, I'd be having a hormonal explosion all my own. He's very funny, and funny is very sexy.

I can see if the adrenals are working properly and I can tell if improvements are forthcoming.. It'll show me why people are struggling more and more and luckily, I can look down the road to see if relief is on the horizon. When Mars started approaching Saturn, we saw more than our share of very ill people. They'd tried to figure out what was wrong with them; wrong diagnoses from DRs and treatments were either too forceful or non-existent. They hit bottom. Those who still had a bit of mental juice flowing, found a Thyroid/Adrenal support group. The others remain, fighting for their lives, in a river of medical advisers who don't understand this disease any more then they do. The blind leading the blind, just leaves you sight-less.

A year ago or so when Mars was retrograde, we again saw hundreds of people who started to understand *Adrenal Fatigue.* More books were sold about this deficiency than any other. It was the start of an epidemic, starring in the collective consciousness, but the epidemic really surfaced about 30 years ago. Forty five years ago, they removed iodine from our bread. It took a good decade to feel the effects. The thyroid gland runs on iodine; the adrenals run on the proper balance of cortisol, which in turn, powers the thyroid. Everyone is going nowhere, FAST. Hello, STRESS.

Now that Mars and Venus are doing a bit of hanky panky, we're seeing people *come back from the dead.* It's both rewarding and fulfilling to know we can help. They're no longer the walking dead; they're starting to live again and learning to self treat.

Before anything else: the *Adrenals need to work first. Adrenals first, everything else, second.* Thyroid meds won't work unless the adrenals are up and running.

Once these two lovers move into Scorpio, they'll be sextiling Pluto. Pluto rules the sexual hormones and many more should look forward to a jolt in the right direction.

A note about medical advisers:

If their Saturn is in your 1st house, they'll never understand you or your medical energy. Find another medical adviser.

If their Mars is in your 6th house, their approach for healing will generally be too aggressive. You may have to argue with them to *take it slower.*

DO YOU HEAR BELLS ?

The other day I slithered my way through the garden department of Kmart, and I was reminded of my strappy bells which hang from all the doors in my house. I bought them there 14 years ago for about $2.99 each.

They were a Seasonal, Christmas product and came in several different colors but I choose the gold since it meshed without making a flamboyant statement.

I didn't buy these bells for any other reason than *protection.*  I put them on all my doors and they have remained there to this day. If anyone tries to open the door from the outside, I'll hear the bells; any shaking at the door, will set them off. It will give me time to get to a phone or a gun to protect myself from the inside out.

Guests rarely notice them or comment that they hear bells even though they make a soft noise. But those who do, make a mental note to buy some for their own home.

Of course the dogs hear them from a mile away... :0)

If you have loved ones who may need a bit of protecting, think about bringing bells into their lives....

It's a very inexpensive security mechanism !!
