found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Angel!
Facts about Angel
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tan Or Fawn Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Angel's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Poor Angel! Barely a year old, her owner was moving to Idaho and brought her to the vet to have her euthanized, so the vet called Cat Rescue. Angel was so grief-stricken that she wouldn't come out of her carrier except at night to eat and use the litterbox. After a couple of weeks, we called the lady (who was moving in a few days) and asked if she could please visit Angel ... As soon as Angel heard her owner's voice, she hurried out of her carrier and was so excited and happy! The owner petted her, and then unexpectedly and for the first time ever, Angel slapped her owner so hard it drew blood, and she squalled loudly. BETRAYED! She was telling her owner that she was angry to be left in this strange place ... The owner left town, and Angel was difficult to deal with, still angry and fearful. But now she can be quite sweet though sometimes will slap and cry as though she remembers the injustice and holds you responsible.. She seems too fearful to be in a huge house or with other, more aggressive animals, and would do better alone in a quiet home so she can calm down and change from Devil Girl back to Angel! She has a startled look on her face that's pretty funny. Would you be the person she trusts and loves again? Her previous owner was elderly, quiet and calm, and she kept her in her bedroom since she was living with family. Come see her and admire her ticked, beautiful tawny fur and GIANT eyes!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Angel, a Petersburg Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Petersburg, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Petersburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Petersburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Petersburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Petersburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

This post is thanks to my daughter who helped me make up a new game for our St. Patty's Day class on March 16th. She loves the leprechaun tricks and desperately wanted to play a leprechaun game. She started the ball rolling and I took it and ran. We ran our ideas by each other and this is what we came up with…
- Set the mats up in a circle and have all the kids get down into child's pose. They are NOT allowed to peek. Heads must stay down.
- Teacher moves around the circle and taps someone on the head. They become the LEPRECHAUN.
- The leprechaun grabs a pose card (I have some festive ones that I made up from last year…poses pasted on shamrocks) and hands it to one of the kids whose HEADS are ALL STILL DOWN. That person becomes the CLOVER ROVER ( ? still unsure about this name) and slides the pose card or clover under their mat.
- When that is done, the Leprechaun and Clover Rover get back on their mats and come down into child's pose. Everyone sits up and tries to guess who the Leprechaun and Clover Rover were.
- When we guess who the Clover Rover is, they lead the class in the pose.
- Of course each child will want a turn at Leprechaun AND Clover Rover.
I am thinking that I will put stickers on the kids' backs, one for leprechaun and one for clover rover. If the child has already been leprechaun we will remover the sticker, etc. That way it will be easy for the kids to know who has been what and they won't keep picking the same kids over and over.
This is another game that has yet to be tried with the kiddos. I will start trying it this week and make adjustments where I need to. I will keep you posted. In the mean time, if anyone has any suggestions on fun variations, ways they would change it up…I would love to hear them!

Hot on the launch of its new innovative Lava Shells® Massage Treatment into UK spas and salons, UK spa distribution company, Shared Beauty Secrets, has joined forces with SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest orphan charity, to raise money for children in the Philippines, one of the 123 countries in which it works, and home to the very tools at the heart of the company's new treatment. Under the name Shared Dreams, Shared Beauty Secrets will be supporting two villages in the Philippines including the original village, Cebu, where the lava shells are sourced. "This is such an exciting enterprise", explains Clare Anderson of Shared Beauty Secrets; "There is such a high demand for this treatment already that we have so much to thank these communities for. The villagers have enabled us to set up this project with the natural tools of their shores – without their help we couldn't have done this."
By joining forces with SOS Children, Shared Beauty Secrets hopes to raise further awareness of the charity and will donate a percentage of their profits to the villages, as well as raise further funds through Shared Dreams charity events. 100% of money raised under the Shared Dreams umbrella will go direct to the SOS Children's villages, with the intention of providing vulnerable children a secure family for life. The charity SOS Children has been helping children find homes and families since 1949, children who have lost their parents through conflict, famine, disease and poverty. Over 70,000 orphaned or abandoned children are cared for by SOS mothers in clusters of family homes in more than 470 children's villages, in 123 countries around the world. A further million benefit from SOS Children's outreach support which includes education, vocational training, medical care and community development programmes.
Ever ambitious, Shared Beauty Secrets have a clear vision in mind for this partnership with SOS Children. "Our aim with Shared Dreams is all about giving back to the community that has made this project possible for us. In the long run, our goal is to establish a permanent orphanage for these abandoned children, to provide secure care and facilities that are otherwise just a faint dream."

Vitamin D: An Evolving Star
By: Peter T. Pugliese, MD
Posted: June 29, 2009, from the July 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 4 of 11
In 2006, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a report showing a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and the onset of multiple sclerosis. The authors suggest that this is due to the immune-response suppression properties of vitamin D. It is possible that vitamin D is required to activate an immune response that triggers the mechanism for individuals to recognize self from nonself.11
Cancer prevention
In tissue cultures, the vitamin D hormone has been found to induce the death of cancer cells. This positive activity of vitamin D is believed to result from its action as a nuclear transcription factor that regulates cell growth, differentiation and programmed cell death, called apoptosis. In addition, vitamin D appears to regulate many cellular mechanisms central to the development of cancer, and again these actions appear to be through the expression of the vitamin D receptor.
There is an increasing body of research that supports the concept that the active form of vitamin D may provide significant protective effects against cancer.12 A study in 2006 found that taking vitamin D (400 international units [IUc] per day) cuts the risk of pancreatic cancer by 43% in a test of more than 120,000 people.13 A study involving 1,200 women, published in June 2007, reports that vitamin D at 1,100 IU/day resulted in a 60% reduction in cancer incidence during a four-year clinical trial.14
Vitamin D and the skin
Insight into possible new functions of 1,25-(OH)2D3 beyond the regulation of calcium and phosphorus resulted from studies involving the cellular localization of 1,25-(OH)2D3. The result of this study illustrated that 1,25-(OH)2D3 was localized in the nuclei of the cells in the small intestine, the distal renal tubule of the kidney, the osteoblasts of bone and in tissues not previously considered targets of vitamin D action. In addition, 1,25-(OH)2D3 has been found in the nuclei of the islet cells of the pancreas, keratinocytes of skin, ovarian tissue, mammary epithelium, epithelial cells of the epididymis, neuronal tissue, promyelocytes, macrophages and T lymphocytes—these cells are all blood-derived.
What these new findings mean is that the possibility of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to carry out not only many other functions, but also in cells not even considered as target cells of vitamin D. Other studies followed that showed the vitamin D receptor to be present in the skin,15 thymus and ovarian cells. It is now evident that the vitamin D hormone carries out specific functions in many of these tissues, and many other functions remain to be discovered.
