RE: the Straight Poop
It
really is terrible that so many people use chemicals on their lawns as it ends
up affecting all of us--humans, Goldens, and wildlife--when it all gets washed
into the waterways.
Nothing wrong with some nice dandelions. Bunnies love them.
My grandmother in Slovakia even makes soup out of dandelions. I definitely
urge everyone to not use chemicals. If you want natural ways to maintain a
nice lawn and garden, check out our web site at http://www.nwf.org/habitats/ to
create a natural backyard wildlife habitat.
Hey Guys,
I subscribe to a weekly on line
listing that is called the Straight Poop and these are things from this
weeks post that I found interesting:
The Straight Poop FEATURED WEB
SITE
I've heard rumors over the years that the chemicals we put on our
lawns are very dangerous to us, to our children, and, particularly, to our
pets. The other day, Nonna and I were out walking with Katie, and as we
passed a neighbor's lawn I noticed that although it was neat and well
trimmed, it had many tell-tale signs of dandelions. I said, "They don't
take very good care of their lawn," to which Nonna replied, wisely as
always, "When I was a girl, where I come from we used to love to see
all the beautiful yellow flowers." Have we listened too well to the
chemical company brainwashing and gotten our priorities mixed up?
Take a
look at "Poison in the Grass: The Hazards and Consequences of Lawn
Pesticides," by Nathan Diegelman of the S.T.A.T.E. Foundation, brought

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH
Be prepared, we used to say in our
scouting days. And being prepared could not be more important for that
unexpected moment when Fido hurts herself. Here's a basic canine first aid
kit, courtesy of The Golden Retriever Club of Illinois.
