From:- Puppy Training Secrets, info on fleas

With summer just about to be upon us [hopefully!] in the Northern Hemisphere the following advice is at its most pertinent. As the warmer months are a prime time for pests such as fleas to spread - also watch out for ticks - it is a time to be vigilant and to check your pet regularly.

"It is very important that fleas are dealt with promptly, as they
can spread disease such as tapeworm, typhus and tularemia. Not only
that, but the itching can drive your poor dog crazy!...."

The above advice within quotes is from a newsletter I get from the following website... SitStayFetch: Dog Training To Stop Your Dogs Behavior Problems... you could find out more by clicking the link!

Breathtaking places in Utah

"I need your help.

Soon the most breathtaking places in Utah could be overrun with off-road vehicles and oil & gas wells.

I took action to stop the attack on the fragile wildlife habitat and stunning landscapes in Utah, and I hope you will too."

The above is the message from The Wilderness Society - please log into their website and sign the petitions which you'll find there.

Stop habitat destruction... petition

The Defenders Organisation is trying to get everyone who is interested in ecology, birds, wildlife, and forests in general to sign a petition online - very easy to do.

The following is a quote from an email they sent out... "One of the world’s largest intact forest ecosystems -- the breeding grounds for many of the world’s warblers, ducks and other migratory birds -- is in big trouble.

Oil and gas, timber, mining, and other industries are destroying vital habitat for birds and other wildlife in Canada’s boreal forest. We need your help to stop them."

Please click on the link above to visit their website and join in!

Bloggers unite for human rights...

There are many great human rights organizations all over the world, but if you want to know something about Amnesty International, please visit AmnestyUSA for more information

Some of the source material provided by Amnesty for BlogCatalog can be found here... Unite-Blogcatalog - you can, obviously, write on whatever rights topic you choose, but you will nevertheless find some interesting and thought provoking material on this page.

Please think of Shi Tao and press the Chinese government to release him and others who were jailed simply for their legitimate use of the Internet. Human rights in China have been in the news, especially with the Olympic torch and Olympics this summer. Now the people of China are suffering from the earthquake and its after-effects and the destruction. Their rulers are making a better job of trying to rescue their citizens than can be said for thosse in Burma.

Our thoughts will be with all the victims.
