She says she uses Aroma Therapy with Lavender and Camomile in her Spa.  She also plays Classical music.  She says the barking is cut down to almost nothing and that dogs that used to fear bite have stopped.  She wishes she had known this years ago.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I started my 21 day detox I didn&#8217;t realize I was going to be on the program over Veterans Day. What I did think of though, as I was preparing myself mentally for the program, was that when I started feeling sorry for myself because I was doing the program was the fact that I had it so good everyday here in the good old USA. I planned that when times get hard I&#8217;d think of the men and women serving our country in Iraq. Sleeping on the hard ground and enduring unbelievable conditions with loved ones at home waiting. I knew that would help me keep my chin up to make it through the program and comparably speaking, I really didn&#8217;t have any business complaining.</p>
<p>Although I am not closely involved as I don&#8217;t have relationships with families going through this. I could attempt to put myself mentally into the path they are taking at the moment. It&#8217;s worked like a charm for me.  Then here comes Veterens Day. How appropriate.</p>
<p>Today while watching <a href="http://www.bonniehunt.com/">The Bonnie Hunt Show</a> (I really like her) during my afternoon break I saw a man who had experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Iraq. He had took a bullet in his brain. He is getting better now and can actually talk and walk. I wondered if the care he had been getting included <a href="http://www.ihausa.org/">Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).</a> If not, how sad for him. Having a background in HBOT I saw and continue to see first hand the miracles that HBOT therapy is possible of.</p>
<p>I recently have seen the miracles of HBOT here at my <a href="http://www.admirationranch.com/">Ranch</a> where I have put my dogs in when I feel they are in need. Like &#8220;KIK&#8221; the poodle puppy who jumped off a front step thinking he could fly and landed on his chin. Kik suffered a spinal cord injury. Days later this 10 week old puppy was almost paralyzed and had been written off by the vets at the care center. Luckily his owner was quick thinking and called me. After realizing that Kik&#8217;s problem was muscular skeletal I took him to a Chiropractor who adjusted him and I gave him 2 HBOT treatments a day in my chamber here at <a href="http://www.admirationranch.com/">Admiration Ranch</a>. Seven days later we was good as new. That&#8217;s just one of my stories of HBOT.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t aware until today that there are over 8000 Veteran&#8217;s who have suffered TBI&#8217;s in Iraq to date. I hope they have the benefit of HBOT.</p>
<p>To wives or husbands that are at home while their spouse&#8217;s serve in Iraq. I admire you for your selflessness. I thank you for helping me to feel lucky and so, so blessed today.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; color: red;">Cooper&#8217;s weight is staying stable at 47-48 pounds. Guess he is probably destined to be a lean (skinny) boy. Duncan is a healthy 51-52 pounds and he looks great. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; color: red;">Both boys are now healthy, happy, and full of energy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; color: red;">Thank you for all your help a while back in getting Coo&#8217;s health back to normal.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Sunday Morning in PoodleTown. We are getting ready for our new arrivals from Deja. We expect she&#8217;ll be having her puppies today or tomorrow. We are very excited about these puppies as we know they will be SOOOO gorgeous and smart.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Here is an email that came in this morning from a poodle Mom who called me to purchase a puppy and explained that her Poodles were both sick and dying with digestive problems. I recommending some products for her and below are results for of having her Poodles on those products. I&#8217;m posting her email as well as my response:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; color: #ff3333;">Hi Jacki,  I am using your <a href="http://www.poodlesupply.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=5_49&amp;products_id=69&amp;zenid=358a6425c003ac20ee75c1cb29f31065" target="_blank">Prairie Powder</a> and it gets hard and then clumpy, am I doing something wrong? When I first started him last year when Pancho came home and I had all the vitamins and I switch him to <a href="http://www.poodlesupply.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=8&amp;products_id=50" target="_blank">Force</a> by Honest Kitchen the poodles are still on <a href="http://www.poodlesupply.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=8&amp;products_id=48" target="_blank">Embark</a> and are doing great. Any way I ran out of the vitamin a few months ago and he started chewing on his legs, I thought it was because I had switched him to Thrive by mistake but then went back to Force. I switched back, but it didn&#8217;t work, still chewing now. I am wondering if it is because of the vitamins. I have just placed an order, so I guess this will be a true test. Another question, my son has an older Russell that keeps getting urinary tact infections, where she wets all over the place. I told him about the Prairie Powder. Would that work or is it a combination of all vitamins? Thanks for your help, Pancheo is such a sweet boy, has decided that the bed is where he is suppose to sleep, he had turned out to be a great house dog, but still loves to run and play with the other dogs. Hope to hear from you soon. I will send you some pictures of Pancheo&#8230;. Kathy W</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Hi Kathy,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Good to hear from you and Pancheo. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Take a tea bag and empty the tea out of it. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Fill the paper container with white rice, staple it shut and place it in the the Prairie Powder container. This should absorb any extra moisture that might be causing the Prairie Powder to clump.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">The Prairie Powder is a key to stopping itching along with the Tavern Tonic which helps keep the system &#8220;clean&#8221; so that no toxins build up and cause allergic reactions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">I recommend the Critter Corral and Prairie Powder for your son&#8217;s older Jack Russel. The Critter Corral along with Prairie Powder will help to eliminate bacteria throughout the body and The Prairie powder is very effective with Bladder issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">My niece put her Boxer dogs on Prairie Powder and says that her &#8220;Bailey&#8217;s&#8221; incontinence has been reduced significantly, their shedding been reduced and they have more energy generally. Wow from one supplement!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Remarkable!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">I look forward to hearing about the changes your dogs experience from taking these supplements.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Also looking forward to pictures. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Take care and please keep in touch&#8230;. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;">Jacki</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular; color: #ff3333;">Bailey and Copper do not shed as much when they are taking the supplement daily (1 scoop in the am per dog). I&#8217;d say the amount of shedding has been cut in half and for boxers that is remarkable, especially for a short haired breed. Bailey doesn&#8217;t have as many incontinence issues, I am assuming that is because of the cranberry in the supplement. Before starting the Prairie Powder we were having weekly &#8220;leakages&#8221;, now it is only once a month and it usually occurs when she is in a deep sleep. Their coats are shiny and soft and they are more energetic; even for a 7 and 8 year-old. Take care&#8230;. Shana</span></p></blockquote>
