Argosy University

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

As I began researching about Ph.D programs, I came across Argosy University. I never heard of them and doing a search for universities in Phoenix, they popped up. I was interested in possibly pursuing a Ph.D in education but wasn’t ready to fully go back to sit in a classroom; Argosy offers combination programs. Independent studies and classroom instruction is possible and even full 100% financial aid is available. Students can even start classes before the financial aid is fully paid to the school!

Argosy has many interesting programs for graduate students. If you are interested, check out their site and a representative from the program of study you are interested in will set up a meeting to discuss your schooling options.

The Killer: Dog Food

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Dog food; full of junk, non-meat filler by-products that are not normal to a canine or feline body. Is this whole outbreak of kidney failure in our pets a real shock? Have you read the research about the crap they put into dog and cat food?

When our first dog continuously stayed sick, we decided to change her to the Raw diet. We spoke to other dog owners as well as vets and questioned them extensively before switching Marley to her new diet. At 2.5 years old, Marley, a loving female Boxer who was sick most of her life now was not sick anymore! From having constant diahrea and skin allergies to absolutely no problems after the diet change convinced us of how horrible corporate dog food really was.

Marley use to eat veggies and we would make a combo of veggies and yogurt but after a year, she decided she didn’t want it anymore so we had a little problem. How does a dog on the raw diet get her antioxidants and veggies? So we searched out a dog food company that wasn’t a large, multi-million dollar corporation nor didn’t use the by-products, wheat and fillers that all the name brands used in their food. What we found was Dr. Andrew Weil’s company called Pet Promise.

Have you ever wondered why so many dogs end up with Cancer and illnesses? It is sad that all these poor animals are suffering and the ones whose lives had to end for this issue to even be mentioned. Now the stories of animals dying are flooding the airways but animals have been dying for years from the junk that is stuffed into their food and nothing was ever covered in the media as recently.
