Life is energy. Money is energy. . . and there’s plenty of both!

The difference between being aware of our natural abundance and owning a hefty portion of it is one of the main spiritual lessons we come to the earth plane to learn. This process involves the art of transforming energy and using your thoughts and ideas for manifesting money.

We live in a 3-D world that reflects back to us the energy, words and thoughts we put out. Fortunately, we have a special protection. We can have thoughts and feelings that don’t materialize in front of our eyes immediately. This gives us the chance to learn the art of manifestation without getting hurt in the process.

We know that money is not rare and that abundance is natural. The fruit trees in the fall and the flowering plants in the Spring show us the lushness of life. It’s natural for us to have abundance of all that is beautiful and good in our life.

However, more often than not, we get in our own way when it comes to having both the natural abundance and money in our life. Our feelings of lack, despair and confusion negatively affect our energy and thus our ability to manifest what we want.

So, in order to manifest into our life the natural abundance that is rightfully ours, including money, we must learn to align and transform our energy in a way that will manifest our thoughts and ideas. . . including manifesting more money into our lives.

A good way to start is by reminding yourself there is loads of abundance and money on our earth plane. We have been programmed by the system to believe that there are shortages and lack and that it is normal to experience this. This programming instills fear in us and creates an energy blockage to our aligning ourselves with the flow of abundance. There is no shortage. Wrap your beliefs and feelings around thoughts of great abundance available to all.

If you can convince yourself at the very deepest level of your being that there is no lack, no unfairness, no discrimination and that making money isn’t hard, you can open yourself up to greater wealth. This is a simple trick of the mind and can open and align your energy to receiving the abundance that is rightfully yours.

If you are harboring any feeling that money is evil and that all rich people are dishonest and crooked, you need to drop this belief. Instead you need to come to an understanding that money is neutral. Like everything else, money is only an energy.

Money is good. Greed is not good. Abundance is natural and is spiritual.

Everything in life contains the Divine presence, including money. The moment you realize and accept that money is simply another form of energy and energy comes from our Divine Source, you will stop separating it from your life.

Focus on the joy of having a steady flow of money, creating more money and feeling like you deserve more wealth. You will start to almost automatically manifest more abundance into your life.

To make the manifestation process work for you, you have to put aside any ideas of lack. You have to become centered and energetically align to the solid symbols of all the abundance in life.

Take time to concentrate on all the things your consider to be manifestations of abundance. Look around you at the lushness of nature in life and remind yourself that your journey takes place on a planet that is full of everything you need.

Look at the various symbols of wealth and affirm that the abundance of this earth plane is spiritual and good. You have got to agree that abundance is natural. You must bring this agreement into your feelings. When you transform your energy vibration in regard to money, you will begin the process of manifesting more abundance of money into your life.

Money is a symbol we use to facilitate the gathering of experiences and memories. It assists in interactions with others and in our ability to love ourselves. Money also acts as a mirror in that it tells us stories about ourselves, if we choose to take a close look.

Yes, money is definitely an essential part of our spiritual journey. Because it is a necessity in our society, it forces us to be creative. Money forces us to step up and offer our energy to the world in a creative manner that in return allows money to flow into our lives. In doing this, you learn the art of transforming energy to manifest money.

Fly fishing is a sport that many people enjoy doing. It takes years to perfect but only minutes to love. One of the tricky parts of fly fishing is knowing which type of fly to use for a particular situation or type of fish.

Types of flies in fly fishing are also known as patterns. What exactly is being fished for and under what conditions determines the type of fly that is used. There are many different patterns that are used in fly fishing. They can be broken down into five main categories: wet fly, dry fly, streamer fly, nymph, and terrestrial.

Wet Fly

As the name implies, wet flies are a type of fly that resembles insects that are under the water. This includes dead insects and insects that are coming up and emerging from the water. This type of fly can also be made to look like bigger water creatures such as leeches or crawfish.

Dry Fly

Just as with the wet fly, the dry fly’s name also gives away what it is imitating. Therefore a dry fly is meant to look like an insect that stays on top of the water. While fishing with a dry fly it is usually necessary to dry the fly several times.

Streamer

A streamer is a type of wet fly but it is meant to look like an injured baitfish. Streamers are larger than the other types of flies. They are used to catch larger fish that are predatory.

Nymph

A nymph fly is another type of wet fly. It is supposed to look like an insect that is coming out of it’s cocoon or it’s larval state. A majority of fish like to eat insects in this state.

Terrestrial

Terrestrial flies can be used as wet or dry flies. They are made to look like larger insects that mistakenly jump into the water and drown. These types of flies can either be made to look like an insect trying desperately to free itself from the water or as an insect that has already died and is simply sinking into the water without movement.

In fly fishing there are many different types of flies. While each type of fly has it’s own type of fish it is supposed to catch, many anglers will use any type of fly that they think will work on the fish at a certain time. The main types of flies are wet flies, dry flies, streamer, nymph, and terrestrial.

There are some things that are so powerful, yet unappreciated that they seem as if they can only be seen by the eyes of the blind. The title of this article comes from the lyrics of a Billy Joel song, and I’ve always found the words to be extremely powerful. So what is it that so undefined, that it seems as if it can only be seen by the eyes of the blind? Before we get into that, I think we can all agree that whatever it is, it requires faith to be seen. And what is faith? The best definition that I’ve ever heard of faith is the belief in something that can’t be seen.

The quick answer to the question posed in this article is that thing that can only be seen by the eyes of the blind is God. The bottom line though, is that it makes no difference what you call it; God, Rah, Allah, Universal Mind, Universal intelligence, or Belinda. Call it whatever you like, the point is that there is something that holds this Universe together and makes it work. When you look at nature, and the perfection with which it demonstrates, how can it possibly be denied that this force that seems to only be seen by the eyes of the blind exists? Have you ever thought about the miracle of putting a seed in the ground, only to have a plant emerge from the ground a few weeks later? I mean, when you think about this, it’s man outright miracle!

Nature demonstrates in real time, that which Mr. Joel says can only be seen by the eyes of the blind. In the case of nature, we who aren’t blind can see it very clearly. This is probably why people like William Wordsworth, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson seemed to have spoken so highly of nature. They sensed something that all of us feel when in the presence of nature. Albert Einstein was a fan as well and said of nature, “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

The bottom line is that this “thing” that Mr. Joel speaks of is all around us at all times and again, it makes no difference what we call it. We can use it to our advantage, to live a better more fulfilled life, or we can ignore it. The choice is ours, which in almost every way is the beauty of being alive……the fact that the onus is on us and no one else. Never forget what Napoleon Hill wrote in the book Think and Grow Rich,” In your search for the secret of the method, do not look for a miracle, because you will not find it. You will find only the eternal laws of nature. These laws are available to every person who has the faith and the courage to use them.”

Top Tips to impress your guests.

One key ingredient in running a successful bed and breakfast is the ability to get along with all types of people who will be staying at your B & B. When you operate a bed and breakfast, you become the host (not an owner) who greets and welcomes guests (not clients).

Hospitality is our business. A successful bed and breakfast operation builds its reputation on the hospitality it provides. Repeat business and referrals often come as a result of your interactions with the guests. Guests who frequent bed and breakfasts usually seek the enjoyment of getting to know their hosts and sometimes develop close friendships with them.

Provide a warm, friendly welcome at the front door.

Show guests to their room and give them an opportunity to settle in.

If they feel up to it, you may want to give guests a quick tour of your home soon after they arrive.
Offer a beverage and/or a light snack after guests have had some time to settle down from their trip.
Be a “fountain of information” for your guests. As hosts, you should be able to answer questions about your area and mention nearby attractions and places of interest.

Provide guests with a fact sheet listing frequently asked questions and answers about your B & B and the surrounding area.

Collect brochures and maps for the immediate area as well as other nearby areas of interest. Make these available to your guests at no cost.

Collect menus from local restaurants. You may put these in guest rooms or leave them in your lounge area.

Offer “special touches” that will appeal to a variety of guests, such as offering breakfast in bed for newlyweds or for special occasions.

Find out when guests arrive what they would prefer as a beverage in the morning, and always have coffee made early. A pot of freshly brewed coffee outside the door in the morning will be a treat for the true coffee drinker.

Be sure to provide a variety of beverages so that guests can choose from a good selection. Coffee should be of the best quality — never instant! Experiment with different blends.

Offer — for an extra fee — to make special picnic baskets for lunch or dinner so that guest may enjoy a special outdoor location.

Provide an umbrella stand with loan umbrellas near the door for guests who aren’t prepared for bad weather.

Set up a special corner in your public lounge area with a variety of games, cards, books and magazines. Provide a variety of reading material in each room.

Have extra sample-size toilet articles on hand for your guests, such as shampoo, hand lotion, toothbrushes, razors and toothpaste. You can order a supply of many such items imprinted with your logo to promote your bed and breakfast.

Use liquid soap or small, individually wrapped soaps in the bathroom so no guest have to use someone else’s soap.

A special guest “welcome tray” in each room can include fruit, biscuits or individually wrapped chocolates. Provide disposable drinking cups in each room as well as tissues, etc.

Have an area, which is easily accessible to guests where they can always find a beverage or snack of some kind.

Keep an extra hair dryer, make-up mirror, curling iron, iron and ironing board available for guest use.
Provide a local newspaper.

Be able to provide your guests with a local map. Mark your home, restaurants and other attractions on the map.

Collect discount coupons from local restaurants, and other attractions for your guests’ use.

Many people may consider starting an online business for any number of reasons. Some reasons may include, helping to supplement their household income, spending more time with their family or finding a way to get out of that dead-end job they do not like getting up to go to each day. The quickest and easiest way to get started is by becoming an affiliate marketer.

By becoming an affiliate marketer there is little or no investment required and you do not have to have or create your own products or services. The merchants who you sign-up with give you the right to promote and advertise their products how you choose and for free, in most cases.

Typically, the merchant will provide their affiliates with the necessary tools and resources needed to promote his product or service. As an affiliate you use the resources, such as graphics, banners or text advertising and post them on your website or in your blog. If you do not have a website, check the resource box below for more information.

When a sale is made, you as an affiliate will earn a percentage of the total price. This amount is pre-determined by the merchant and is usually between 15%-75% of the products total price.

The first thing that you will want to do is get yourself signed-up as an affiliate marketer. Clickbank.com is a good place to start, it is an affiliate network which hosts many affiliate programs for merchants at one website location.

There are several other popular affiliate networks that are also free and easy to join, Commission Junction, Linkshare, VIP Profits and Cash Engines. They each provide a full range of products and services for which you can choose from.

Locate a product or service on Clickbank that you would most like to promote, join their affiliate program, most are free. In most cases, they will offer instructions on how to get started, in order to help you succeed in becoming an affiliate marketer.

One of the most financially rewarding careers a person could have is affilitiate marketing. You could almost literally start on a shoestring budget and work your way up to a consistent and very decent income within a relatively short period of time. Some people have been able to earn thousands of dollars monthly just by selling products on Clickbank. Clickbank has hundreds of products to choose from and they also have a very good support system in place.

Due to all the competition online with people promoting merchants products, becoming a successful affiliate is not just as simple as throwing some banners and ads on your website. You will be required to have knowledge in your niche and put some effort into creating a good content based website. You will want your content and the products which you are promoting to be relevant to one another, so some planning and research will be required.

Some merchants offer two-tier affiliate marketing programs when you promote their products or services. Not only will you get paid for the one time direct sale, but you will also get paid a small percent in commissions for the sales which your direct sales members make. This can be a powerful and profitable plan and it also creates what is called “residual income.”

Residual income programs allow you to earn commissions monthly or annually just from making one sale. For example, by promoting a membership site you will earn a percent of the membership fee each month as long as the customer remains a member.

It is recommended by many successful Internet marketers that you promote a couple of products, which will allow you to earn residual income into your business.

Promoting residual income products or services is a more beneficial way of earning affiliate commissions, however, promoting a combination of both approaches is the best strategy when becoming an affiliate marketer.

The question: “What kind of options do I need to look when choosing file hosting website?”
The answer: the one with the biggest, fastest and reliable servers, that will save your files the longer.

There are many file hosting services around the world that allows you to save your files for easy transfer between computers, in todays world it is almost impossible to transfer files without using disk-on-key or using a cdr/dvd-r.

But what should you do in case you want to transfer a file that is about 500 mb large (something that can’t be done with email) and don’t want to open a ftp server on your computer?

This is the where you can use free file hosting services available on the internet such as Xdrive and more.

What this kind of websites gives you it’s the option to upload files to the internet up to X amount of MB, after the upload the user will get a special unique URL which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file,

The features you need to pay attention when choosing file hosting are:

1. File Size limit - the maximum limit of the file you can upload.
2. Speed - Try to find one that locates close to your country and/or your friends country so the speed will be faster.
3. Privacy - Make sure you get a unique URL that can’t be guessed easily so people won’t try to guess file names, also check if you can password protect the file.
4. Waiting times - some websites “enforce” waiting time between files or download by IP address or countries, like megaupload. try to find an upload service that don’t enforce so much limits.
5. Ease of use - Some websites hides the link on the website in purpose in order to make the surfer stay longer, pay attention to this.
6. Support - Make sure there are support in case you have a problem.

Sound is everywhere. It can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, but it does so at different speeds. It can rustle through trees at 770 MPH (miles per hour), echo through the ocean at 3,270 MPH, and resonate through solid rock at 8,600 MPH.

Sound is made by things vibrating back and forth, whether it’s a guitar string, drum head, or clarinet. The back and forth motion of an object (like the drum head) creates a sound wave in the air that looks a lot like a ripple in a pond after you throw a rock in. It radiates outward, vibrating it’s neighboring air molecules until they are moving around, too. This chain reaction keeps happening until it reaches your ears, where your “sound detectors” pick up the vibration and works with your brain to turn it into sound.

As long as there are molecules around, sound will be traveling though them. That’s why if you put an alarm clock inside a glass jar and remove the air, there’s no sound from the clock. There’s nothing to transfer the vibrational energy to. It’s like trying to get a ripple on a frozen pond. The rock just stops on the surface.

Sound can change its travel speed. Another word for sound speed is pitch. When the speed slows down, like with drumming, the sound speed is low. With clarinet reeds, it’s high. Guitar strings can do both, as they are adjustable. If you look carefully, you can actually see the low pitch strings vibrate back and forth, but the high pitch strings move so quickly it’s hard to see. But you can detect the effects of both with your ears. The range of your ears is about 20 - 20,000 Hz (cycles per second). Bats and dogs can hear a lot higher than we can!

Let’s try out some experiments with sonic vibrations:

Bobby Pin Strummer: Straighten three bobby pins. (A bobby pin, when straightened, has two different sides - a smooth side and a rippled side.) Wrap a rubber band tightly around the base of an empty tin can. Slip in a clothespin under the rubber band, jaw-end first. Add three clothespins, about 120 degrees apart. Clamp the rippled end of a bobby pin into each clothespin, so that your contraction low looks like a can with three legs. Strum each pin, one at a time. What happens if you clamp the pins at different heights?

String Test: Push the end of a length of heavy string and a length of light thread through a hole punched in the bottom of a can. Tie the ends inside the can to a paperclip so they stay put. The can should have two different strings coming out of the bottom. Place the can near your ear as you strum each strand. Can you make the pitch high and low? What other types of string, yarn, thread, fishing line, etc. can you use?

Mystery Pitch: Blow across the mouth of an empty soda or water bottle to make a whistling sound. Add a little water and try again. Add more water and try again. Add more water.. What happens if you use a glass bottle? Place an empty glass under the sink faucet and tap the side of it with a fork and listen to the sound. Slowly fill the glass with water while you continue to tap. What happens if you use a spoon? Knife? Whisk? Wooden spoon? Of these two experiments above, which one increases the pitch and which decreases the pitch?

Phonograph: Pierce the bottom of an empty plastic container (such as a butter tub or yogurt container) with a tack. Choose an old record that you don’t mind scratching and place it on a turntable. (In a pinch, you can place it on a pencil tip and spin, but this takes practice.) Use your new “stylus” and hear the music! Doe the size of the container matter? What if you use a pin instead of a tack?

Easy Guitars: Wrap a rubber band lengthwise around a ruler. Push a pencil crosswise (perpendicular) under the rubber band. Pluck the rubber band. What happens if you move the pencil? What if you use a different kind of rubber band? What if you use a different sized ruler?

Sneaky Clocks: Place an alarm clock (the kind that ticks) or a timer that is ringing on a table and listen. Now place your ear on the table. Fill a zipper bag of water and press it between you and the clock to hear the difference. Next, place the clock in a closed metal can (like a cookie tin or coffee can). What about a paper bag? A glass jar? A newspaper-filled shoebox?

Stryo-Phone: Make yourself a telephone by punching a small hole in the bottom of two cups (foam, paper, tin… is there a difference?) and threading string into each one. Tie the end of the string inside the cup to a paper clip so the string stays put. Cut the phones apart and tie each end to a slinky and try it out. What happens when you bang the slinky into different things, like walls, metal chairs, wood tables, or the floor? Untie the slinky and try a wire coat hanger, fork, spoon, or other kitchen utensil.

iPod and MP3 players are becoming omnipresent. Everywhere you go, you see the familiar headphones in someone’s ears. And with the busy lifestyles we live, it is no wonder that audiobook sales are soaring. The combination of audiobooks and iPods are now making it possible for people to listen to their books on tape, or audiobooks where ever they go.

Apple and its many retail partners managed to sell 88 iPods per minute in 2006 which totaled 46,432,000 iPods sold. That is more then 1 iPod sold per second! The Christmas season from October and December were obviously the busiest of the year.

IPod sales look to continue to grow in 2007. In the first quarter of 2006, total iPods sold were 8.53 million. It is estimated that for the first quarter of 2007 iPod sales will be over 10 million. Some predict that the new iPhone will slow down iPod sales, but others feel the iPhone will not be competition due to its US $500 Price plus associated fees.

Audiobook sales have also been soaring. In 2005, audiobook sales totaled $871 million. Audio books are getting a boost in sales due to the rise in popularity of downloadable audiobooks which represented 9 percent of total audio book sales in 2005. While that number may seem small, it is a 50 percent increase in sales from 2004. It is fair to predict that audiobook downloads are going to continue to rise due to the rise in popularity of iPods and MP3 players.

Another reason audiobook download sales are going to continue to soar is that as of this year, almost all new cars are now capable of playing digital audio files. 97 million Americans drive alone to work everyday, and commuters are stuck in traffic an average of 62 hours per year. That is 32 percent of the entire U.S. population, and that does not even include those who commute by bike, bus, train or car pool. Now that audiobooks can be played so easily in cars and on iPods, it’s easy to see that audiobook download sales are going to skyrocket even further.

It is clear that with the rise in iPods and MP3 players, and the rise in audiobook downloads go hand in hand. Listening to your audiobooks on iPods is a great way to maximize your time. It seems to be harder then ever to find the time to read. We can now find time to read, or rather listen thanks to our trusted iPods and MP3 players.

We can multi-task by listening to our audiobooks as we exercise, clean the house, commute to work, or even just listen to as we relax. In fact, there are several audiobook titles that are designed to help you fall asleep and to relax.

Many businessmen love listening to their sales or motivation audiobooks. Students are listening to assigned literature on their iPods as audiobooks. People are learning a foreign language with audiobooks. And couples are saving their relationships by listening to audiobooks.

Audiobook downloads are priced far better then audiobooks in prepackaged CD’s, which another great feature. There are also many free titles to listen to and many quality websites let you listen to five minutes of your audiobook before making a purchase.

It is easy to download your audiobook off of the Internet. You simply select your title, make the secure purchase, then you are ready to download. The download takes seconds to a few minutes depending on the size of the file on most computers. If you have a dialup, you can select the smallest size file for each title which is not as good of quality, but still sounds as good as any audiobook CD you may have purchased from the store. Once you download your audiobook, you can play it on your PC, burn it to disc, or you can load it to your iPod or MP3 player.

After learning how easy it is do listen to an audio book on your iPod or MP3 player, what are you waiting for, go out there and listen to you audio book today!

If you are ready to start downloading your audiobooks today, the author recommends visiting http://www.audiobookstoreportal.com If you own a website and would like to sell audiobooks through your site, visit http://www.audiobookstoreportal.com/affiliatesignup.html

Removing and disposing of old carpet may be part of the deal when
you purchase new carpet. But what if you plan to install a
different type of floor or you plan to install the new floor
yourself? How will you be able to remove that huge carpet by
yourself? How will you dispose of it? And, how will you prepare
your floor for a new floor.

There is no need to worry, just follow these four simple steps
and in no time you will have removed and disposed of your old
carpet and will be ready to move on to installing your new floor.

Step #1 Cut the Carpet Into Manageable Strips

The carpet does not have to leave your house in one piece as it
came in. The simplest method to cut your carpet into strips is to
use a knife. Avoid scissors — they require much more work on
your part.

Lift the carpet along an edge or doorway and using the knife,
begin cutting the carpet into two to three foot wide strips that
are about six to ten feet long. Roll each strip as you go and you
will find that each section can easily be deposited into a large
garage can , dumpster, or the back of a truck.

Continue cutting the carpet into strips and removing each section
until you have removed the entire carpet.

Step #2 Remove the Carpet Pad

Removing the carpet pad will be even easier than removing the
carpet. Simply cut the pad into strips as you did with the carpet
and remove.

Step #3 Remove Carpet Tack Strips

You will want to remove the tack strips as soon as possible as
they are very painful to step on. A hammer and a flat screwdriver
are all you will need to remove the carpet tack strips around the
edge of the room. Use the flat screwdriver to pry up the tack
strips. The prongs of the hammer also work well for this if you
have room between the wall and the tack strip. Once the wood tack
strips are removed, use the hammer to pull up any nails that held
the strips in place.

Step #4 Clean Up

Now that the main mess is gone, make sure all carpet glue and
pieces of carpet pad are removed. Using the flat screwdriver or a
spackle knife, scrape up the glue and other debris. Sweep the
floor. A shop vacuum works well for the final clean up.

Now your old carpet is gone, your room is clean, and your floor
is a blank canvas ready for you to create a brand new look.

This has touched me on a personal level because I have a friend as well and I wanted to do some research in order to help out his friends who are suffereing because of ignorance and human error.
I can not imagine what it must be like for the owners of the pets who consumed these dog foods.

Now it is our responsibility to control our dog’s nutrition, just like it’s our responsibility to control our own and that of our children if you have any.

But when it comes to our dogs, we have no habit of finding out what is best for them and conveniently rely on the messages we see in advertising.

Unfortunately, those ads are bold-faced lies! The amount and types here is a article from Andrew Lewis the author of the incredible book Dog Food Secrets.

Taking Control Of Your Dog’s Nutrition
It’s dinnertime. Do you know what your dog is eating? If you’re feeding him or her commercial dog food, the answer to that just might come as a very big surprise.

Dog Nutrition or Russian Roulette?

That “Chicken Flavor” dog food you’ve selected may have some chicken in it. Then again, it just as well may not. It’s not required to, pursuant to the FDA guidelines concerning dog food ingredient listings. That “Lamb & Rice Formula” for dogs certainly has some lamb and rice in it — but the total combined could be as little as 25% of the total packaged product, and still conform to regulations. What comprises the remaining 75%?

Is that 75% all goodness? No!

What about all those fillers and by-products and chemical preservatives listed? Do you know what BHA and BHT are, and why they are banned for human use? Are you familiar with ethoxyquin? Rolls right off the tongue doesn’t it?

Is meat the first (and thereby most prevalent) ingredient listed, or does corn or grain lead the way? Do you suppose all those artificial colors and flavors are there for your dog’s benefit, or for yours? Does your dog food supply the complete and balanced daily dietary provisions for your dog? And, with the loose regulations on dog food labeling leaving us somewhat in the dark as to what exactly we are feeding our pets, how can you be sure?

There is really only one way to be sure.

Give your dog some good home cooking. Homemade dog food allows for flexibility and purity. It also gives us total control over our dog’s nutritional needs. We can be assured that all ingredients are of the highest quality, and add up to a balanced, toxin-free diet. We can also maintain complete caloric discretion, modifying as necessary to accommodate our dog’s ever-changing demands.

But if you don’t know how, you may as well go back to commercial dog food because it can be just as dangerous.

Making the decision to feed your pet fresh food does not mean you need to overcomplicate matters. You do want to make sure that you provide him with all the nutritional building blocks he needs to maintain a healthy body. Animal protein should be combined with vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals and other foods to provide all the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals needed.

It’s not quite as simple as it sounds, entirely, but it’s not exactly rocket science either.

Achieving the sought-after balance is a daunting proposition, to be sure. We admit when we began our research, we were literally bombarded with facts and figures, both real and imaginary, and found that the websites delivering disinformation and misinformation abound.

In our pursuit of balance in our dogs’ diets, we discovered the balance in the available research. It is our wish now to share our study with you here, in the most concise fashion. As a bonus with Dog Food SECRETS;, we have also compiled a host of easy, healthful and delicious homemade recipes for you to try with your pet.
