Koi Water Garden

For many gardeners, cultivating a fish pond is the height of accomplishment. Adding the soothing element of water and colorful fish brings a new dimension to your outdoor living space, just as an aquarium does indoors. Koi fish or goldfish in a garden pond capture and fascinate the interest of people of every age. Watching small fish grow into larger fish - their growth being relative to the size of the pond - and enjoying the frenzy and excitement of feeding times, is always a delight.

Green Dog

Dog owners now have the several choices for waste disposal. The waste and the bag can now be used on your backyard compost pile where both items will decompose naturally. It can be buried where both the bag and the waste will be eaten by microorganisms.

Your Pet and Separation Anxiety

If your pet becomes upset whenever you must leave, your pet may have separation anxiety.

One of the first things to do is to check to see if the “acting out” is actually due to separation anxiety or if it a symptom of something else. We suggest the excellent behavior tip sheet found on the HSUS site which can help you to determine if your pet is suffering from separation anxiety or not.
