When you reach the end of your life do you want to be one of the people who are glad they did, or one of the people who wish they had? Start doing the things today that will matter tomorrow. Dont leave this world without giving it your all. The best inheritance you can leave your kids is an example of how to life a full and meaningful life. Live your life so that your children can tell their children that you not only stood for something wonderful you acted on it! ~Dan Zadra

When I started this blog in 2004, my goal was to share all about natural health for a wide variety of animal species (my colleague and I are now doing this on the Animal Naturopathy News Blog our latest endeavor that Shadrach inspired for me). But because of Shadrachs BIG influence in my life [...]Steinbeck Country: Monterey or bust

The beaches are clean where once they festered with fish guts and flies. The canneries which once put up a sickening stench are gone, their places filled with restaurants, antique shops and the like. They fish for tourists now, not pilchards, and that species they are not likely to wipe out.
John Steinbecks return to a much-changed Monterey in 1960 was more bitter than sweet he found itmuch improved cosmetically, and economically, butits old fishing character and its saltiness were gone.

The ghost signs of Butte

Heres my theory: The more ghost signs a town has, the more ghosts it probably has, too.
Butte, Montana, it should come as no surprise, has plenty. Of both.
Here are some of the ones that,during just 30 minutes of driving around town one day this week, we came across touting cigars, beer and hotels thathave all been long outlived bytheir hand-painted advertisements.
Flor de Baltimore was a cigar brandthat appears to go back at least a century or so. Im not sure if its named after Lord Baltimore,...

The signs at Exit 127 of Interstate 94 in Minnesota let drivers know whats ahead: McDonalds, Subway, Jitters Java Cafe and the Sinclair Lewis Interpretative Center.
What weary motorist couldnt use a jolting cup of Joe, a$5 footlong and a peek into the life, times and works ofa long dead novelist?
Exit 127 in Sauk Centre spills you onto Main Street and its not just any Main Street. Its THE Main Street.
The Sinclair Lewis book of that name, published in1920, was though labeled fiction based on...
Michael Vick’s former house sits empty

Im not sure why I wanted to visit 1915 Moonlight Road maybe for the same reason people visit Nazi death camps, Ground Zero and other scenes of slaughter.
Maybe its in part to pay respects to those who died and suffered, in part to remind ourselves of how evil man can be that whole business about keeping history fresh enough in our minds that we dont allow the mistakes of the past to be repeated.
Maybe (last maybe, I promise) thats also why you still find Michael Vick stories on ohmidog! and...
Batman leaves a legacy of hope behind

Word came this weekthat Batman, the dog whose brain tumor was being successfully treated with an experimental gene therapy at the University of Minnesota, has died of pneumonia.
I wanted to let you know that sadly we lost Batman a few weeks ago, his owner, Anna Brailovsky, wrote ohmidog! in an email. The very good news is that it was not to brain cancer, so we can still consider him to be a great success story.
Brailovsky and her husband Eric Baker found Batman him on the streets of Berlin as...
