Oprah On Tainted Pet Foods
I only got to watch like the last fifteen minutes or so of Oprah yesterday, but I’m glad I caught that much - though yes, I wish I’d gotten home in time to see the entire show. It was on dogs.
I didn’t know this until yesterday, but apparently her pretty girl Sophie has been diagnosed with kidney failure, and my heart and prayers go out for her. And I have to wonder, with kidney failure being the ultimate effect of these poisonous pet foods, whether it has anything to do with Sophie’s condition. Oprah didn’t specify the cause, but she proceeded to have a pet health expert, Dr. Marty Goldstein, address how to safely feed our doggy-babes in this time of commercial food crisis.
Sophie is under the care of Dr. Goldstein, and he said that dogs need meat, cooked or raw, because they are carnivores. Oprah showed us exactly what she feeds her canine-kids. In a bowl she put cooked lamb, brown rice, chopped cooked potatoes, and carrots. Then she proceeded to stick her hand in the mixture and mash up the potato! You gotta love it! I’m sure her pups do. Oprah alternates the lamb with chicken or beef.
So there you have it. Table scraps, table scraps, table scraps. It’s what I’ve been saying all along. Ban commercial pet foods and especially Menu Foods, until they get their shit together, and somehow make restitution for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused. In the meantime, set a placemat under the table for Fifi. Maybe even a permanent placemat.

God bless us all.
Latest on Menu Foods Tainted Dog Food
I am so sad to report the latest I have been reading about the REAL number of cats and dogs that have been affected by this tainted dog food. Menu foods, in their “precautionary recall” report 16 deaths, but according to the latest news reports there may be many, many more.
I have two beloved dogs and I am just horrified at thinking I could’ve fed them RAT POISON tainted dog food - which is possible because I buy their food from Walmart. Fortunately, I generally give them DRY food, which hasn’t been affected. (Menu Foods doesn’t do dry pet food.)
The following is an excerpt, but you can read the entire article by clicking the link below.
“…There are still questions about how many animals have died. With no national reporting system for animal injury or death, official numbers are impossible to come by.
However, data from the nation’s largest chain of pet hospitals, Banfield, suggest it is as high as hundreds a week during the three months the food was on the market.
During that time, the more than 600 Banfield hospitals in 43 states saw 200 to 250 cases of kidney failure in cats above the usual number that would have been expected, says Hugh Lewis, president of Data Savant, Banfield’s data collection arm.
During that period, Banfield vets saw 100,000 cats. Extrapolating to the entire cat population of the USA, that could mean “we’re probably talking several hundred cats a week across the country being affected,” Lewis says.
Another possible indicator is a database compiled by PetConnection.com. As of Sunday, owners reported 1,626 deceased pets - 941 cats and 685 dogs, says Gina Spadafori, one of the website’s writers.
She cautions that those figures were self-reported by pet owners and had not been confirmed by veterinarians. Menu Foods said on Friday it would compensate owners for their pets’ medical bills.
“To the extent that we identify that the cause of any expenses incurred are related to the food, Menu will take responsibility for that,” said Menu Foods chief executive Paul Henderson.
Despite some complaints by pet owners that animals have been sickened or died after eating dry food, FDA does not believe any dry food was involved in the contamination. Menu does not make dry pet food. “

The Secret - Oprah vs Rosie
I watched the View yesterday and the ladies had pretty much good things to say about The Secret, though Rosie, (and I actually like Rosie lately) kinda didn’t quite get it. Now I still haven’t seen the DVD, but being a hypnotist, I know the gist of what they are trying to say. Like attracts Like. Pretty basic.
Anyway, Rosie cited the part of the movie when they apparently say look at the back of your hands, and now fold them as if you’re holding onto something with your hands, and close your eyes and imagine them wrapped around the steering wheel of the car of your dreams and you’re driving that car…
Then, supposedly they show the person really driving that car, as if the car miraculously appeared in their driveway five seconds later.
She is being so unimaginatively literal, and as I’ve heard it, many of ”the secret’s” critics are doing the same thing. Like they think we expect to be answered in five minutes or something. I mean we’ve all had the experience of thinking about something - sometimes it was even years ago that we thought those things- and suddenly it’s come into our lives, seemingly from outta thin air. Sometimes we do get an answer in five minutes, sometimes it’s years away. When it’s years away it’s because we needed time to become the LIKE we are wanting to attract. James Allen, in his famous and powerful book, As a Man Thinketh, says “Man does not attract to himself that which he wants, but rather that which he is. And what he is are the things he spends his time dwelling upon.”
As you may or may not know, I go to the hospital monthly for 5-hour long IVIG infusions. I went yesterday and was talking to a darling girl who had within the past year been diagnosed with Leukemia, and a lung condition. She had a bone marrow transplant, and lung surgery, and currently has to get infusions on a daily basis. She quit work, and has spent much of this year in the hospital. She told me, “It’s kind of funny but I remember last year I was really stressed out - working fulltime, taking care of my young family, we had just bought a new home, and I was saying over and over to myself, I need a long break, where I can just stay in bed, and rest…Now look at me. My wish has come true, you could say. Be careful what you wish for!”
Now how many of us have had the same sort of wish-fulfillment - and of course it could be a positive result. I can remember when I was a small child and I’d swing a crystal in front of my little brother’s face and say, “you’re getting sleepy…” I always loved the idea of being a hypnotist. Funny thing is the idea to become a hypnotherapist came from the SUBCONCIOUS, because consciously I would’ve never guessed I would choose this career path. I mean, when I chose to leave my trustworthy social services job to open my hypnotist’s office it came as a sudden opportunity - seemingly from outta nowhere. At the time (199 
I was talking to my dear hypnotherapy instructor ( I had taken the course in 1994) and he said, “Julie (a mutual friend) wants to open a Positive Changes Hypnosis Center, but she wants a partner. Do you know anyone who might be interested?” I knew I did know of someone - I was certain of it, but it just wouldn’t come to me. It was that feeling on the tip of your tongue that I knew the perfect person for her. One day as I was driving down the freeway pondering this very solution, it came to me as an AHA! moment - ME! Why not me??? I was deliriously happy and shocked. What took me so long? Anyway, the rest is history, as I sit in my Positive Changes Hypnosis office writing this. I’ve never been happier.
But the key is Being the LIKE that you want to attract - how many times do I have to say that, people! And the key to THAT is becoming the LIKE if you aren’t right now. It doesn’t have to be years. In my next blog I will illustrate what I mean by that exact thing - becoming the LIKE. Got to close down blog shop now, clients coming in.
Luv, Gina
