The health of his bones, connective tissues and muscle are factors that significantly contribute to his quality of life. When his bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments are all in in good working order, life is good. But when something goes awry in any part of this system, it can mean pain, weakness, and fewer adventures at the park. What causes poor musculoskeletal health? Age, overuse, lack of use, injury, genetics and poor nutrition all play a role, but fortunately we can help our pet through good nutrition that protects against free radicals and inflammation. "You are what you eat" holds true for our dog. An anti-inflammatory dietis one of the most important bulwarks against musculoskeletal disorders. Foods such as pumpkin, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, kale and spinach provide many important nutrients for healthy bones and strong muscles that are not prone to cramping. Feeding these foods regularly to your furry friend may help keep him playing to a ripe old age. In addition to musculoskeletal supporting nutrients, such foods also provide anti-oxidant ("anti-rust") and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals to help protect doggie bones, muscles and joints from damage. Four of my favorite herbs for keeping doggies dancing and puppies prancing In addition to providing an anti-inflammatory diet, you might consider plying your pooch with some of the following supportive herbs. Dandelion Greens are one of the most nutritious greens available. They are loaded with bioavailable nutrients important for musculoskeletal health, including phosphorus and potassium, along with vitamins B, C, D, K and beta-carotene (1). Dandelion leaf thus supports bone generation. It helps protect joint cartilage from free radicals, and encourages proper contraction and relaxation of muscles. Moreover, dandelion supports healthy metabolism and waste elimination, which, in turn, may reduce systemic inflammation that worsens joint and muscle pain. About 1 teaspoon per day per 20 pounds of pooch daily should do the trick. It's a tasty green, so simply adding ground or chopped leaf to regular meals should work. Note that dandelion greens will make your pooch pee, so make sure he has lots of drinking water and outdoor time! Stinging nettles are a true superfood. Over a quarter protein by weight, nettle leaf is also rich in bone, muscle and cartilage-supporting nutrients like potassium, calcium, magnesium, beta-carotene and vitamins C, D, K and B complex (1). In addition, nettles provide silicon, an important component of bones (2). Like dandelion, nettle leaf may help reduce arthritis pain by reducing the accumulation of metabolic wastes and other irritating chemicals that increase systemic inflammation. Nettle also contains phytochemicals that are more directly anti-inflammatory, and is chock-full of anti-oxidants, including chlorophyll, to protect those ever-important bits involved in mobility. I used to add a pinch or two to the late, great Zoe's meals, and she was able to go hiking with me until a ripe old age. I would give her breaks from it: 2 weeks on, 1 week off, as the silicon content may potentially irritate the kidneys if the herb is overused. Note that nettle should only be fed after it's completely dry. If harvesting your own instead of buying it from an herb shop, remember to wear gloves. If you forget, don't worry, you'll remember pretty quickly! Hawthorn berry is well researched for cardiovascular health in pets, but did you know it also supports connective tissue health? Hawthorn berry flavonoidshelp stabilize connective tissue (3) by cross linking collagen filaments together, and may also reduce inflammatory and oxidative damage to connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments. Dogs generally like the flavor and you can feed 1 teaspoon per pound of your mutt's food daily (1). Turmerichas a long history of use for arthritis and muscle pain. I used turmeric in clients of both 2- and 4-legged varieties. In addition to protecting musculoskeletal tissues from free radicals, turmeric reduces inflammation and pain by blocking the activity of pro-inflammatory molecules in the body. In addition, curcumins, chemicals isolated from turmeric, may protect cartilage integrity (4), thus preserving the function of your dog's shock absorbers. I commonly use turmeric as a powder. Unlike the purified curcumins mentioned above, turmeric doesn't cause stomach upset. You can try feeding 1/4-1/8 teaspoon per 10 lbs of your dog's body weight per day. Turmeric is a bitter spice, though, and some dogs don't like the flavor. I used to encapsulate turmeric powder in veggie caps and sneak it to Zoe wrapped in Z-Filets, or sandwiched between two Hip Actionsfor further joint support. Turmeric can be found in many of Zuke's treats!

While tiny puppies eventually—and all too quickly—grow into a geriatric dog, there are many things we can do to keep them young for as long as possible. Here are some tips and tricks to keep your furry friends happy well into their golden years. The Most Common Senior Condition: Arthritis The once unflappable, hyperactive Frisbee catcher or trail running dog that now acts stiff and sore after getting up from a nap may indeed have one of the most common afflictions in senior patients. Gradually worsening stiffness, especially in humid or cold weather, can signal the painful condition of joint inflammation and cartilage damage. The absolute best way to manage this problem is to help your dog maintain a healthy body weight. Any extra pounds on an arthritic frame compound the discomfort they feel by increasing the force on their joints. Keep your dog as active as possible to maintain crucial muscle mass. Offer a thick padded bed to sleep on too. Glucosamine supplements can help slow down the progression of arthritis in older dogs. A tasty way to give your dog glucosamine is Zuke's Hip Action treats. Yum! If you've tried all of the above and your dog still seems uncomfortable, then schedule a trip to your veterinarian to make sure the problem really is indeed arthritis. There are prescription medications that are safe for long-term use to significantly improve your senior dog's mobility. Vision or Hearing Changes Most dogs over age 7 have at least some degree of hearing and/or vision loss. Have you noticed some haziness in your dog's eyes? Many people assume this condition is cataracts. Quite often this haziness is a normal aging change that occurs when the lens of the eye hardens over time. It can cause some changes in depth perception but your dog can still see fairly well. Cataracts, similar to the ones us humans can get, can cause more profound vision loss. The good news is that in many cases they are removable with surgery. Hearing loss in senior dogs is also a frequent problem. Mild, gradual changes are considered fairly normal. Any rapid change of hearing, however, should be investigated further. Ear infections or foreign bodies (grass seeds, parasites, etc.) can cause damage to the eardrum and quickly cause hearing loss. Thirsty Dogs If your dog seems to be drinking more than normal, a trip to your veterinarian is in order. Diseases such as kidney dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and diabetes can all cause changes in thirst and urination. All of these conditions are more common in older dogs, and many are treatable! Weight Loss or Gain Any significant changes in body weight, either up or down, can suggest major problems brewing. One of the most common endocrine (hormonal) diseases in middle-aged to older dogs is hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland gets sluggish over time and slows down the body's metabolism significantly. It requires a simple blood test to confirm and is inexpensive to treat. "Age is Not a Disease" This is a favorite adage from veterinary school. Just because a dog has reached the 7 year milestone, the designated age when a dog goes from "adult" to "senior", they don't necessarily have to start acting like an invalid. Weakness, decreased activity levels, reduced enthusiasm for food, and weight gain are not necessarily "normal" aging changes. All of these can be signs of potentially treatable conditions. Have you ever watched a 10k race (or marathon for that matter) and seen at least one 70+ year old who is easily keeping up with the youngsters half their age? There is at least one in every race. Most dogs have the potential to be the canine equivalent of these folks! By keeping your dog active, seeking appropriate medical care, maintaining a good weight, and feeding healthy foods, your dog can still be catching Frisbees well into their teens!

He's a fun-loving pooch with a real zest for life. I even had him certified as a therapy dog to share his exuberance with hospital patients who need a smile. I'm just one of countless people who have had their life changed by rescuing a pet. But there are still lots of people who act surprised when they learn we adopted Rio from a shelter – they think homeless dogs must have something wrong with them. To challenge this misperception and encourage people to adopt from shelters instead of buying from breeders, the American Humane Association named October Adopt-A-Dog Month. In honor of the occasion, I thought I'd profile Freedom Service Dogs, since their work shows that shelter dogs can make not just terrific pets, but valuable service dogs. Freedom Service Dogs, founded in 1987 in Englewood, Colo., is one of America's only nonprofit organizations that rescues shelter dogs and trains them to become service dogs – then gives them for free (yes – free!) to people with disabilities and veterans with PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Each year, they adopt about 30 dogs from shelters and rescue groups in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Kansas, and custom train them to help clients become more independent. This can include retrieving dropped objects or something from the refrigerator, calling 911, turning lights on and off, opening and closing doors, helping balance while walking or climbing stairs, assisting in pulling wheelchairs, tugging shoes, socks or coats off, pulling a client up from a reclining position, nudging a client during a flashback and waking them from nightmares. "They can graduate with over 40 basic and custom commands," said Karen Morrow, Director of Marketing, PR and events for Freedom Service Dogs. "The transformation of the dogs is quite impressive. They come to us from all different backgrounds." She told me the dogs will even go above and beyond their training once paired with their new owner. A military veteran with PTSD and TBI found that his dog, Sapphire, started noticing that his heart rate increases when he becomes nervous. When that happens, Sapphire refuses to move another step, forcing her owner to stop moving until his heart rate slows down. "It's really amazing that she just started doing it – we didn't train her for that," Morrow said. "That's how innate the connection is between the client and the dog." The dogs are typically less than 2 years old, and often don't know basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." So some of the dogs spend six weeks in a Colorado prison being socialized and trained 24/7 by inmates (I've seen the program in action at Buena Vista Minimum Center, and the dedication of the "offenders" and the change in formerly abused dogs is incredibly moving). Then Freedom's staff of four caretakers and seven trainers step in for the custom training, which Morrow noted is by positive reinforcement only. Freedom also has a program that teaches at-risk youth to help train the dogs, another win/win situation for dogs and people. "Our slogan is, 'Free a hero to save a hero.' We really believe that dogs want to work, they are heroes to us … and the people that they go to are heroes," Morrow said. "They march on." Another cool thing about Freedom Service Dogs is they never return dogs to shelters. If a dog doesn't make the cut as a service dog, Freedom finds them a forever home. Sharon Santella and her husband Ernie adopted a Lab/Basset Hound mix named Chu Chu from Freedom Service Dogs in January 2013. Chu Chu wouldn't stop barking at other dogs when she was on a leash, so she couldn't be a service dog, but she gets along great with their yellow Lab, Sophie. "She's just been a love and a joy," Santella said. "The two of them make us laugh every day." And Chu Chu showed special skills when Santella's father-in-law was in hospice care. The day before he died, Santella brought Chu Chu for a visit and she was touched to see the way her dog responded by becoming focused, then sitting by his bedside all day while he petted her. "The training that Freedom provided came back to her," Santella said. "It was just a wonderful moment for all of us." For more information about Freedom Service Dogs, visit freedomservicedogs.org.

Maybe the mutt snuck a meal from the cat's bowl (or even from the litter box....yuck!), or ate too many table scraps, or was suddenly switched to a new brand of food. Indigestion can also stem from food sensitivities. In Zeke's case, indigestion might be from eating a sock (generally considered indigestible). In the late Zoe's case, it was from drinking a half-gallon of cooking oil. Also, some breeds simply seem more prone to digestive upset, including German Shepherds, Collies, Great Danes and Golden Retrievers. How do you know your dog has indigestion, since you can't just ask her? One obvious sign is gas. If you have a gaseous hound, then it's a good sign there may be some indigestion. Sometimes a gurgling gut is the tip off. Another possible sign of chronic indigestion is really horrible "doggy dragon breath." It could also be caused by tooth and gum issues, but a belchy dog with a truly deadly form of dog breath usually has indigestion. Have you noticed that dogs always seems to burp right in your face? Sometimes there's a quick fix For example, put the cat food bowl and litter box out of Fido's reach. Hide the socks and vegetable oil. Skip the table scraps. Gradually switch your dog to the new food rather than changing it all at once. You get the idea... Help may be as close as your spice cabinet Two of my favorite digestive herbs are German chamomile and fennel. Both herbs have a long time of traditional use in humans and animals, and holistic-minded veterinarians, herbalists and those in the know turn to these herbs for their tough cases (1). Don't automatically give herbs without first looking into potential causes of the digestive distress. Pass the Chamomile! German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) relieves digestive spasms as well as discomfort due to gas. It is especially helpful for nervous animals where there is vomiting, gas, lack of appetite or other issues. Chamomile in the form of either a liquid extract, glycerite extract or tea may be helpful. Herbalist and holistic animal health specialist Gregory Tilford doses with approximately 1/4 teaspoon of Chamomile Glycerite per 30 pounds of dog weight, every 2-3 hours (2). Glycerites are sweet-tasting so they tend to be more appealing to pooches than alcohol-based extracts and teas. Your dog might even lick the glycerite right out of your hand! If using the tea, try 1 tablespoon every 2-3 hours or more frequently if needed. Sometimes the dog will drink it in their water, but you may have to try pouring it right into their mouth. Make sure the tea is cool before doing this. Fido's friend fennel Like chamomile, fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgare) may help with gas and digestive tract spasms. If your dog doesn't like the flavor of chamomile, you can try fennel seed, and vice versa. Fennel seed may be particularly helpful for the doggy dragon breath, and it can be used for an acute issue as well as for long-term digestive upset. Just add a few tablespoons of fennel tea per 20 pounds body weight (3) to their food or water, or make a little "soup" with a couple of crumbled up treats like Jerky Naturalsor Z-Filets.Like chamomile, fennel is also available as a sweet-tasting glycerite that can be fed directly from a dropper bottle, around 10-20 drops per 20 pounds of body weight (3).

Here's just a few reasons why our canine companions make better co-workers. 1) You don't have to share the bathroom with your dog...or the lunchroom fridge. 2) Your dog never delegates anything to you. The most he will do is mandate a belly rub every once in a while. 3) Your dog doesn't want your job. Competing for a coveted position can be exhausting. Thankfully, your pup isn't in the running. 4) Your dog never partakes in office gossip. If by some miracle your pup learned to speak human, we are certain she would only have good things to say about you. 5) Your dog is always lovable - even with bad breath, body odor and lack of respect for personal space.

One of my favorite aspects of being a veterinarian is seeing newly adopted shelter dogs come in with their families. It's the beginning of a new, lifelong relationship between a homeless dog and their new forever family. I also look at these appointments as a good opportunity to troubleshoot issues that may arise in the early days after a new adoption. Take for example a client of mine named Crista. She brought in a beautiful shepherd/heeler mix dog that she recently adopted from the nearby humane society. It turned out that Lilly was the perfect companion when they were at home together, but when Crista left, Lilly would attempt to chew up Crista's house – shoes, door jams, kitchen cabinetry, you name it! Frustrated, Crista brought Lilly in to see me, requesting medication to calm Lilly down and reduce her destructiveness. More on Crista and Lilly later... First, let me share some ideas on how to choose and welcome your perfect shelter companion. Utilize Shelter Employees Most reputable shelters will test incoming dogs' compatibility with other dogs and cats. They may also have information on why the dog was brought to the shelter in the first place. This information may not always be available, but it is important. Ask the shelter staff if they have any specifics on the dog you are interested in. Location, Location, Location Do you live in an apartment or a house? Do you have a fenced yard or a park nearby to exercise your new dog? A larger breed is better suited for a home with lots of room to move, whereas a smaller one can thrive even in a small apartment. All dogs need daily access to vigorous exercise whether it is a nice long walk, games of fetch in the back yard, or off-leash time at the local dog park. Medical Bills As a veterinarian I must caution you to consider medical costs when selecting a pet. I find that in general the larger the dog, the higher the cost of care. This includes not only feeding and grooming, but also medications and surgeries. Certain breeds are more prone to specific diseases, too. I strongly recommend that you research the breed you are considering adopting. Ah-choo! Do you or any people in your house have allergies? Some breeds such as the Poodle, Lhasa Apso, or Shih Tzu have continuously growing coats, which means they shed very little and are less allergenic. It also means they will need regular grooming to keep their coats from matting! Working Nine to Five What is your work schedule like? Dogs really shouldn't be alone at home for more than 8 hours at a time. They get bored and unhappy—and bored dogs bark more often and tend to be more destructive. If you're gone for long stretches at a time, be prepared with these options: Come home at lunch for a quick walkEnlist older kids to entertain your pup when they get home from schoolConsider doggie daycare. It's a popular concept that is becoming more widespread, and many of my pet patients seem to enjoy going each day for their supervised playtime with other dogs. Freebies Take advantage of any free extras that come with adopting your new family member. Quite often local veterinarians will offer a free exam to make sure your new addition is healthy. You can also often get access to good deals on dog food, toys, and classes (obedience, agility, etc.) when you adopt a new pet. Keep an eye out for these and it will start you off in the best possible way to enjoy your sweet furry new family member! Family Matters Are there kids in your household? Other pets? A gradual introduction into the household will help reduce stress for your new pup and increase your chances for a harmonious home. Before placing your new pet in the same room with your existing pet(s), consult your veterinarian or a certified dog trainer for tips on successful introductions. Also, be prepared to supervise playtime between your dog and children so little ones learn the right way to play with their new friend. Back to Crista and Little Lilly After speaking with Crista, it turned out that she had a 30-minute commute to work and a 9-hour workday, so we talked about ways to keep Lilly entertained while Crista was gone all day. Crista was able to find a neighbor girl to come over and play with Lilly when she got home from school. In the end we didn't need to resort to medication for her separation anxiety. We also discussed other behavior modification strategies and specific toys designed to engage Lilly's mind. With these changes, along with other gradual adjustments to Crista's routine, Lilly became a very contented pup in her new home.

Healthy fats and oils are critical to both human and hound health. Beyond healthy skin and fur, fat also forms the building blocks of steroid hormones, which in turn, regulate reproduction, growth and development, salt and water balance, stress responses and more. Did you know that every cell in the body is lined with a fat-based membrane that controls what gets into and out of the cell and helps the cell communicate with its neighbors? And that a large percentage of brain mass is due to fat? If you call your dog a "fat head," it's actually a compliment! So, adding a little bit of oil to your dog's food is a good idea, right? It depends! If you mean that big, clear plastic jug of olive oil on the kitchen counter, then not so much. Unsaturated fats contained in oils like olive, sesame and fish are sensitive to damage by light and oxygen. Feeding damaged oils to Fido introduces free radicals ("rust") and inflammation, which contribute to chronic diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis and arthritis, among others. Then why does coconut oil come in a clear jar? Because it is composed of saturated fats, which are resistant to damage by light and oxygen due to their chemical structure. More on saturated fats later... And the plastic jug? It's a source of unhealthy chemicals that leach into the oil. These chemicals, even in small amounts, may be sufficient to disrupt hormone balance and cause other problems (1). The solution? Buy your unsaturated oils in small, dark, glass bottles and store them somewhere cool and dark. Unmodified, unrefined oils are the way to go! Another important factor to consider is how an oil has been produced. Take coconut oil. In the late 1970's and '80's, it got a bad rap due to studies employing hydrogenated (chemically modified) coconut oil. Hydrogenation results in an unhealthy, artery-clogging trans fat. In contrast, more recent research shows that unmodified, virgin coconut oil has many health benefits (2). Palm oil is another dietary fat with a bad reputation; however, the unrefined/virgin form commonly known as red palm oil is high in carotenoids and other strong antioxidants, which provides support for vitamin A deficiency and may benefit cardiovascular health as well (3). Saturated fats in coconut oil Coconut oil is composed largely of medium chain triglycerides (MCT), a form of fat that is efficiently metabolized to produce energy in the body. This is one reason that coconut oil is an ingredient inPower Bones.Unlike unsaturated forms of fat, MCT are resistant to oxidative damage ("rust"), so they do not clog the arteries. (It's rusty forms of fats and oils that contribute to plaque formation in the arteries). Studies show multiple health benefits from consumption of coconut and coconut oil, including protection from microbial infection, improved blood cholesterol and triglyceride profiles, improved blood sugar regulation, improved skin health, improved liver health and other benefits, better quality of life during cancer treatment and possible protective effects on nerve cells (2-5). Remember to get virgin coconut oil. Avoid hydrogenated as well as the "liquid coconut oil" showing up on grocery store shelves. Fish oil...It's where it's at for Omega-3s My grandmother took cod liver oil daily dose of cod liver oil and was still working in her garden well into her 90's. While cod liver oil may not have been the sole reason for her longevity, it probably didn't hurt! I use a good quality fish oil daily and notice the difference when I don't. Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, which lower damaging inflammation in dogs (6-8), thus providing a wide range of health benefits. In human studies, fish oil was found to improve mood (9) – something I notice myself – along with providing protection against muscle deterioration (10), cardiovascular disease (11), and cancer development (12). A short shout out to sesame oil Another of the favorites around here is unrefined sesame oil, which protects against heavy metal toxicity in the liver and kidneys (13), increases the level of antioxidants in the body, decreases the level of rusty fats and improves blood balance of serum cholesterol and triglycerides (14). Sesame is an ingredient inZuke's Hip Action. One last thing about all three oils...they have flavors that your pooch will love!

The "unofficial" holiday (no time off work – sorry!) was founded 15 years ago by renowned Chicago Dog Coach Ami Moore, author of The Alphatude Attitude: Your Dog Wants You to Lead. Moore says the day is about celebrating the "bond and emotional joy that having a dog in your life brings," and trying to make America even more dog-friendly. "The human/dog bond, I call it the superglue of the heart," she told me. She says she got the idea for Hug Your Hound Day after studies showed the health benefits of hugging and petting dogs, such as relieving stress for both humans and canines alike as hormones like serotonin and oxytocin are released. (Studies continue to prove the health benefits of touching dogs; for example, in 2012, the American Journal of Cardiology published research (1) that found people with chronic disease and pets had more adaptable heart rates.) "Most people get dogs because they see dogs as their emotional comfort food – their furry macaroni and cheese," Moore says with a laugh. But it's not enough just to love our dogs – being a responsible dog owner is the other major component of Hug Your Hound Day, if we want to make the U.S. more dog-friendly. "You should be able to take a well-mannered dog anywhere that you go," Moore says. "But the key is 'well-mannered,' which means the dog should not bark, not jump, not growl, should not bite at anyone, not steal any type of food or anything." She says having well-trained dogs around makes everyone feel happier, and spreading that happiness is the fun of Hug Your Hound Day. "The first thing is take your dog everywhere you can. In most states, the way the law is written, you can take your dog anywhere as long as food is not being served," she says. "Have people hug your dog. Say, 'Would you like to pet my dog? You can hug him – give him a treat.' It's a holiday to bring dogs to people who might not have them in their lives." Having our dogs interact with many different people is important too. "I always advise people to really socialize their dog well, especially the people that don't look like you," Moore says. "Like if you're tall, socialize your dog with short people. If you're skinny, socialize him with fat people. Because the world is filled with all different types of people, and you don't want your dog to scare anyone because they look a little different than Mom and Dad." Other ways to celebrate include volunteering with our dogs at hospitals, nursing homes or children's literacy programs; teaching our dogs a cute trick like "shake" to entertain people; and, of course, throwing a party for friends and their dogs. In fact, Moore says Hug Your Hound Day is always on the second Sunday of September because after Labor Day, dogs are more likely to be allowed in public places like beaches – she throws a barbecue for her clients and their dogs at a local beach every year. As for "petiquette" when you want to pet a new dog, Moore says to ask the owner for permission, and then let the dog come to you. "The third one is always ask the owner, 'Do you have a treat I can give the dog?' Because affection combined with food creates a pleasant experience for the animal as well as the human." Ultimately, National Hug Your Hound Day is about helping our pups spread happiness to other people, ourselves, and back to the dogs themselves. "That is always something that we who love dogs are pushing for: to create a bigger and better place for our dogs to enjoy their life," Moore says. "For them to have a big life so we can have a big life with them." For more information, visit http://chicagodogcoach.com.

So, perhaps, it's not so surprising that dogs also suffer from issues related to chronic inflammation. The nerds amongst you can check out the following canine-related examples in the science literature, including oral inflammation, inflammatory bowel diseases and chronic allergies. What exactly is inflammation? It is a process mediated by the immune system in normal response to tissue damage from injury, infection, toxins, extreme heat or cold, or other influences. The acute inflammation triggered by such injuries is a protective response for the person (or dog) involved, and includes swelling, redness, heat, pain and possible loss of function. This normally is a self-limiting process that is initially signaled by chemicals released from the damaged tissues and/or by immune cells residing in the area. Chronic inflammation Inflammation becomes a problem when it becomes long-term. This may be in a particular part of the body or can become systemic, in part because those pesky inflammatory chemicals that are secreted don't necessarily stay put. A common trigger of chronic inflammation in people and pups is food (1). Yes, food can be injurious! No worries, though, because not all food is. The main culprits are highly processed foods. These are products made with refined oils; refined flour; refined sugars; processed, poor quality meats, processed dairy products, processed vegetable proteins and other dubious ingredients. So, if there are pro-inflammatory foods, are there anti-inflammatory foods? Yes! Examples include vegetables,fruits (especially dark-colored berries), and cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, cod, halibut, trout and herring that contain anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids. How does this translate to my dog? Look for dog foods and treats that contain real food as ingredients, such as berries, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, broccoli, and other flavonoid-rich foods salmon, grass-fed beef, etc. Avoid dog foods and treats that contain wheat flour, artificial colors, artificial flavors, sugar, and corn syrup. Small amounts of good quality herbs and spices are a good addition (2), for example turmeric, rosemary,parsley,sageand other of the "spaghetti spices" (not the purified essential oils!). Many of the functional foods discussed in my postings are, at least in part, anti-inflammatory. Finally, no pudgy pooches! Obesity increases systemic inflammation, and is also a result of chronic inflammation, so it turns into a vicious cycle (1). Make sure that your dog gets exercise every day. And, do not overfeed your dog, as tempting as it may be when looking into those soulful eyes!

The Secondary Break: Wednesday's Links
Dec 11, 2013, 8:00 AM EST
From watching highlights to creating them, Duke's Jabari Parker remains true to self (USA Today)
Despite being one of the nation's best players, Duke freshman forward Jabari Parker has allowed the fame to change who he is. As a result the Blue Devils remain one of the favorites to win the ACC.
How Tad Boyle built Colorado into a Pac-12 contender (Sports Illustrated)
When he took over as the head coach at Colorado, Tad Boyle had a lot of work to do. The climb to respectability began while the school was a member of the Big 12, and since their move to the Pac-12 Colorado's consistently factored into the conference race. That's quite the achievement for a coach who began his career as a restricted earnings coach at Oregon.
The five most disappointing teams in college basketball thus far (The Dagger)
With this being finals weeks for many schools there have been a number of lists released by various websites. One such list is a compilation of the five most disappointing teams in college basketball, with two ACC programs leading the way.
Fab Four Freshmen: Metrics weigh in Andrew Wiggins' favor (Sporting News)
Another popular list has been the weekly ranking of the nation's top freshmen, and despite the hand-wringing that tends to take place when he's on the floor Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins has some numbers working in his favor to this point in the season. Among those numbers: a 116.2 offensive rating per kenpom.com that's better than nay of the other newcomers listed.
The Scott Drew jokes never stop but they don't really make any sense (CBS Sports)
On Friday night Baylor managed to defeat Kentucky, adding another solid win to the resume of head coach Scott Drew. But the run of success that Drew's enjoyed at Baylor since taking over never seems to be enough for some, who insist that the Bears win in spite of their head coach. And that line of thinking doesn't make much sense at all.
Q&A: Josh Bartelstein talks Michigan basketball through nine games (UM Hoops)
With Michigan having the week off to deal with finals and prepare for their game against No. 1 Arizona, former Michigan walk-on Josh Bartelstein offered his thoughts on the Wolverines' season to date.
Mountain West basketball searches of signature victories (Albuquerque Journal)
Boise State's loss at Kentucky represented another missed opportunity for the Mountain West, which finds itself searching for more marquee non-conference victories with the start of league play rapidly approaching. The next opportunity comes on Saturday, when New Mexico takes on Kansas in Kansas City.

Jacob Lawson is transferring from the program, the Boilermakers announced on Friday. The 6-8, 217-pound Reidsville, N.C. native averaged 2.2 points and 2.2 rebounds this season in West Lafayette.
He becomes the second player to leave the program this offseason for coach Matt Painter. Sandi Marcius left the program earlier in the week. Marcius played in 29 games this season, starting five.
Lawson played in 28 games this season with 10 starts. He had a season high of 10 points in a 68-61 victory over then-no. 11 Illinois on Jan. 2 and 11 rebounds in 66-56 victory over Ball State on Dec. 18. His playing time tailed off at the end of the season, however. He didn't play in six of the last 15 games and in the nine games he did play in, Lawson played double-figure minutes just once, 12 in a blowout loss to then-no.1 Indiana.
It's been a tough rebuilding year for Painter's program. They finished 16-18 overall and 8-10 in the Big Ten. Losing a role player like Lawson isn't in any way crippling to their hopes for 2013-14, but the Boilermakers will need more out of A.J. Hammons (10.6 points, six rebounds last year) and Travis Carroll (33 games played, two starts) next season. Purdue's three-man 2013 recruiting class features no player over 6-5.

I have been working at Vaisala full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
Being a European company, they have great work/life balance. Lots of paid time off. There are also opportunities to travel domestically and internationally depending on your position.Cons
With most of the major corporate decisions coming from Helsinki, it can sometime feel like the North American offices don't have much say in the direction the company is going. It would be nice if each region could work a little more autonomously. Also, you can only go so far within the company since most of the senior level positions are in Finland and there is little turnover for the management roles.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Fiona Apple postpones tour to be with dying dog
Fiona Apple is postponing her South American tour to be with her dying dog, Janet.
The Associated Press
Fiona Apple is postponing her South American tour to be with her dying dog, Janet.
Apple says in a heartfelt, handwritten letter to fans posted on her website and Facebook page Tuesday that the nearly 14-year-old Pit bull is her best friend, mother, daughter and benefactor and "the one who taught me what love is." Apple says Janet suffers from Addison's Disease and is near death.
The singer writes, "I will not be the woman who puts her career ahead of love and friendship," and asks her fans for their blessings and patience.
Apple says she is staying home "and reveling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel" and plans to reschedule her South American appearances.

I made this blouse in this lovely fabric I bought at a local fabric store. It has a light shimmer with lovely tiny flowers and leaves. To me it looks like an oriental print. I wanted to try something with the gathered yoke so I bought the Burdastyle pattern Printed blouse. I would have liked to have sleeves, but my fabric was only 1 yard :) next time……I'll try a plain fabric with the sleeves. For more pics and info see my blog Ariation

Maria C. Costa
Biography of Maria C. Costa
I live with my husband and two sons in this quiet, sunny side of Europe, Portugal.
Writing (very modestly) has been part of my personal interests, and it always provides me with much energy and motivation to face hard times.
It also invites me to reflect on the surrounding world, and when it comes to poem writing that's so particular.We really enjoy sharing simple thoughts and feelings, especially when we think we might be helping others.
Meanwhile, we have joined this large community to keep learning a lot from You!
We do revere many acclaimed poets who will always be living and inspiring our days. John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth, W.B.Yeats, Edgar A. Poe, William Blake, William Shakespeare, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Rumi, Rabindranath Tagore, and the contemporary Naomi Shihab Nye, Jackie Kay, Andrew Motion, amidst others.

Anyone interested in Radio Jockeying would love reading this.
You have the ideas, the talent and the intent to share them with a lot of people. How do you do it? Television is one such option, but another medium that reaches many is the radio.
With the popularity of commercial radio stations going up in recent years, so has the demand and interest in Radio Jockeying, or in short RJ-ing. BIG FM recently launched the Little RJ Hunt 2011, a platform to identify young RJs and give them an opportunity to do a programme on air. After several rounds that tested the spontaneity and knowledge and general awareness of the children about the city, 20 were shortlisted, out of which five were chosen to take part in the finals held at Express Avenue recently.
A big crowd
The finals coincided with the audio launch of the Dhanush-starrer "3", and hence saw the presence of the lead actor, his wife and director Aishwaryaa, co-star Shruti Hassan and music director Anirudh Ravichander. The huge crowd gathered at the venue, served to test the confidence levels of the young finalists and their ability to perform under pressure. And they sure did.
Judged by BIG FM's RJs Balaji, Muthu and Ophelia, and the audience, the finale saw Lakshmi Priya, a Std. X student of Our Lady's H.S. School, Thiruvotriyur, emerge the winner. Divya Prabha, a Std. IX student of Adarsh Vidyalaya came second, while Yuvraj came third. All three of them won an opportunity to co-host shows on air.
Lakshmi Priya, Std. X, Our Lady's H.S. School, Thiruvotriyur: I listen to the radio a lot and have always wanted to become an RJ. I heard about the contest on air and immediately participated. The modulation and confidence came naturally to me. This is what, I think, helped me win the RJ hunt.
I got to co-host the show BIG Vanakkam with Muthu. It was a different experience as I had been used to the television only. While on the television you address everybody, on the radio you have to create the feel of addressing only one person because it's a very personal medium. Hence you have to talk briefly and comprehensibly. I had a great time recording it.
Divya Prabha, Std. IX, Adarsh Vidyalaya: Knowing my ability to talk fluently in Tamil, it was my school teacher who suggested that I take part in the RJ hunt. In the preliminary round I had to speak for and against the need for schools. Then on, it was straight to the finals where we were asked to talk about actor Dhanush. I really like him, so it was easy for me to do it. I wasn't scared at all of speaking before a huge crowd.
I have taken part in many debates in school and so it was easy for me. The only thing I was very scared of was my exams the next day. The show that I did with BIG FM's Balaji was fun.

While AT&T wants to transform your cell phone into a credit card, one Massachusetts vending-machine company is trying to do the same with your thumb. The prototype vending machines from Next Generation Vending and Food Service eliminate the need for cash and coins by scanning a user's thumbprint and linking it to his credit card. Here's a quick briefing:
Is this really necessary?
The concept of the touch vending machine is compelling: No more scrounging your pockets for quarters and cursing a machine when it steals them. Still, says says Sean Patrick Kelly in New York Press, it could also be unnecessarily invasive. The prospect of giving your thumbprint and credit card information to a machine that sits unguarded all day seems less than safe.
When can I try one out?
Next Generation hopes to distribute the machines nationally in 2011, after testing about 60 units throughout the Northeast.
Will linking our credit cards to our bodies catch on?
Similarly futuristic apparatuses just debuted in Japan, where they have drawn major crowds, says Sam Dunne in Core77 magazine. Stateside, Southern Refreshment Services already utilizes a different form of cashless technology, and claims to have doubled its sales. Next Generation president John loannou, as quoted at MyFoxNY.com, says his prototype machines are getting "extraordinary" (and presumably positive) feedback already. "Everything is more fun when enacted as a video game," notes David Zax in Fast Company.
Could this signal the future obsolescence of credit cards?
"Start saving your coins and notes now," says Mike Hanlon in Gizmag. The rise of the Intelligent Vending Machine (IVM) "may well herald the beginning of the end for cold hard cash and the start of a growing digital economy." While Core77's Dunne concurs that traditional vending machines are on their way out, it's worth noting that the new machines haven't made the candy-buying process entirely painless: You still have to bend down to retrieve your purchase.
