Fleas are unpleasant, nasty things, which are impossible to eradicate. They spread like wildfire and your home can become infested within a matter of days. Whether you have pets or not, the chances are you are going to encounter fleas at some point in your life. The problem can be minimized, and dealt with easily – as long as you are aware that it has to be dealt with on a holistic basis - rather than just relying on one measure. No single type of treatment whether it is chemical or alternative medicine is enough on its own. Cleaning, combing and care of the outside environment are equally important. Be prepared for fleas and take action immediately. The result will be a much more comfortable life for you and your dog. This book is an independent guide to dealing with fleas on dogs. It is based on personal experience of major infestations of fleas. When I researched the subject to find answers, I discovered that much of the advice out there is biased, as it is created by commercial firms eager to sell their product. This is a practical, straightforward guide offering suggestions as to ways of dealing with fleas, both on an emergency and on a long-term basis, whether you prefer chemicals or natural methods. Bear in mind that there are no instant solutions. It takes time and a lot of hard work to deal with the problem. Careful, thorough cleaning of your dog, bedding and the entire house and garden is essential. [more]

Ever since I was a kid, in the last century as my grandchildren like to remind me, I have always had a dog. It is hard to imagine life without a chewing, barking, pooping, loving four legged companion. It also seemed a strange question to me, does Norman have a soul? The question was asked, seriously, by a dear non- tribal friend. Actually, I had never thought much of, do dogs have souls, except to think, of course. Does Norman have a Soul? That is a real question. Do dogs have souls? I assumed, of course. "I assume"…. how often have I heard the definition of I assume, "to make an ass out you and me." [more]

This is a true story that I wrote from the bottom of my heart. I had a wonderful childhood until my father decided to have an affair with another woman. Our entire family was in shambles…not to mention how heartbroken I was because I was a daddy’s girl. We finally had to move to the projects because that was all my mother could afford. Talk about going from riches to rags. I remember crying myself to sleep every night. I started hanging around with the wrong type of people and getting into a lot of trouble, eventually doing time in a state penitentiary. I was calling out for love, I really was not a bad person, in fact, I was always quiet and shy. Life can be a hard journey. I did not have much of a childhood, or perhaps I've blocked a lot from my memory. But by the age of fifteen I was all grown up. I had to make decisions for myself; admittedly, some were not very good. Looking back, it didn't take all that long before I came to the end of my rope, but once I got there I turned around. I grabbed on as tight as I could, and soon I was pulling myself up, one grip at a time. And I've made a lot of changes in my life since then, mostly to make it a better one. The first time that I rubbed my nose against a tiny fawn‘s nose, it changed me forever. Looking back, I wish I might have been a little smarter concerning my career choice because I would have loved to be a veterinarian. But life can throw you curves, and I've learned to make the best of every day. And the day I held that warm, soft Guinea pig in my arms made me feel happier than I'd ever been. Happy deep down inside where it matters the most. The day eight years ago when we bought our “ranch”, I realized just how much I loved animals—all kinds of animals—and how much it meant for me to have them around me. I developed a piece of raw land into a working ranch and it was a lot of hard work, pulling weeds, putting in a fence line, and building pens for the animals we purchased from a local auction. And it was worth it, because, as I said, I love all animals of every kind, each with its own special interests and personality. I can spend endless hours just relaxing and watching them run and play with one another. We have thirty-seven animals on the ranch right now, and I love each and every one with all my heart. Most of them were adopted, saved from horrible situations, and still need lots of love and attention. Eventually, living with us, they come around and forget their past lives of neglect and abuse. Our animals live their entire lives on our ranch. They live to be very old and die of natural causes—the way it’s meant to be. This heartwarming story pays tribute to my lasting love affair with animals small and large. Over the years, I have adopted abused, neglected, or unwanted animals and cared for them on my Florida ranch. I developed a set of beliefs about the human relationship with animals, and I have come to realize that each creature has a distinct personality, a warm heart, passion and even a sense of humor. I operate on the firm belief that every animal, whether an unfriendly cat, lame pig, or a blind cow, needs to love and be loved. I was a pure-bred city girl, until I discovered how animals could soothe my soul and enhance my life. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide shelter and love for animals of all kinds, including cats, dogs, pigs and even cows. I believe that every animal has a right to live—and live well. I respect their wishes and they respect mine in return. It is out of this deep respect that I say that animals are not toys; they have feelings and hearts beating inside them just the way we do. And it is from animals that we receive unconditional love. I know, because it is their love, total and unconditional, that changed my life forever. Thank you for your precious time. Category Non-fiction Title Unconditional Love Subtitle The amazing story of one woman and the animals that changed her life forever. Author Melanie Higgins Zysk Illustrations 72 Pages 205 Words 74,002 Binding Hard and Soft cover ISBN 978-0-595-43920-1 (pbk) 978-0-595-70484-2 (cloth) Reviews: info@apex reviews. net Unconditional Love Melanie Higgins Zysk ISBN: 9780595439201 Reviewed By Cary Merriman Official Apex Reviews Rating: The path of Melanie Higgins Zysk’s journey through life is the very definition of “circuitous”… After her parents divorce when she’s just a little girl, Zysk, her mother, and her brothers are thrust directly into the veritable teeth of adversity. After suffering a horrendous accident that takes her friend’s life and nearly claims hers, she decides to live life to the fullest and strikes out on her own into the dangerous, yet exciting world that surrounds her. Along the way, she becomes a teenage bride, spends time as “Miss Keystone” (a NASCAR trophy girl), and even does a 10- month bid in the Pennsylvania state pen – for a crime she didn't even realize she committed. A quick study in learning the discipline of self-reliance, though, Zysk eventually becomes quite adept at following the desires of her heart, which ultimately lead her to start a rescue ranch for animals that have been abused, abandoned, or otherwise left to fend for themselves. It is in launching the ranch that Zysk finds her true calling, one that has lingered quietly, yet fervently within her entire life: sharing the unconditional love of her selfless heart with those who truly need it. Unconditional Love is an intriguing study of a life lived on quite a far reaching arc, but what’s most endearing about Zysk’s life story is the salient way that her warm-hearted nature shines throughout. From the time that she is very young, she always wishes for the best for others and sacrifices constantly for the benefit of those around her. Of course, this selflessness is most apparent in her undying affection for and dedication to her ever-growing family of furry friends, whose lives would be devoid of considerable comfort and enrichment were it not for Zysk’s faithful devotion. Life is destined to throw obstacles in our paths, but what matters most is how we choose to negotiate them along the way. In Unconditional Love, Melanie Higgins Zysk provides the reader with the perfect example of how to turn any adverse situation on its ear by focusing on the blessings hidden deep within.

I did not have much of a childhood, or perhaps I've blocked a lot from my memory. But by the age of fifteen I was all grown up. I had to make decisions for myself; admittedly, some were not very good ones. It wasn’t that I believed I was a bad person. I just made some bad choices about some people and some of the things that I chose to do.

I grabbed on as tight as I could, and soon I was pulling myself up, one grip at a time. And I've made a lot of changes in my life since then, mostly to make it a better one.
