You’ve probably heard about omega-3 fatty acids. These are abundantly present in fish oil and are highly marketed as essential supplement to your food or your dog’s food for that matter.
Omega-3 fatty acids are added to just about every human food and the year 2007 may get labelled omega-3 fatty acid year for that matter. And as dog food follows many similar marketing trends to human foods we are seeing more food labels with omega-3 and nutritional support claims than before. It’s like a miracle ingredient. Seems to be good for everything if you belief the colorful statements.
We have a bird and a rat. The rat has been part of our family for a little over a month now. We have tried to introduce the bird and the rat to each other, and they tolerate each other. However, it turns out that our bird is very territorial. We always suspected this about her, since she loves to yell if you mess with her stuff.
One of the things we were hoping for is that they would keep each other entertained in the day time when we are gone. And while the bird does enjoy watching the rat run around, she really only tolerates it for a time, then she starts getting loud.

According to API, the FDA is investigating a Texas laboratory’s finding of acetaminophen in dog and cat food. Horrifyingly, this is the fifth contaminant found in pet foods during the past 2 1/2 months. Acetaminophen can be toxic or lethal to pets. At least five dog and cat food samples submitted by worried pet owners and pet food manufacturers contained varying levels of the pain reliever.
Here is a video of my wife Lianne recently achieving a perfect score of 100 in a Rally competition. Dogs are different on any given day, and all you can do is to try to be as close to perfect on a daily basis, and do that as consistently as you can. Obviously, she is not going to get a perfect score the rest of the times out, but that is proof enough that even though there will be more training in the dog a year from now, everything has to go right on a given day.
