Did you hear about the three white tiger cubs that were rejected by their mother?  Well Isabella, a golden retriever took them in.  She nursed the ‘puppies’ and loved them just as much as if they barked instead of meowed.  People think animals don’t have feelings but I disagree.  Some animals have more feelings it seems than some people I know.  If it hadn’t been for this dog, those tiger cubs would have died.  Now the small safari park in Kansas will have the three cubs thanks to this amazing dog.

I’m sure a lot of you have seen the movie ‘The Horse Whisperer’.  Well the book is even better and I absolutely loved the movie.  The book covers more which is always the case when they turn something into a movie.

Well the man that wrote the book is named Nicholas Evans.  It seems he was hospitalized because of eating poisonous mushrooms while on holiday in Scottland.  His wife, her sister and his wives sisters husband all got sick after they picked some mushrooms in the woods and ate them.  They were all hospitalized but are all expected to make a full recovery.

The mushrooms were tested and the tests established that the mushrooms included the highly toxic variety Cortinarius speciosissimus, which attacks the kidneys.  I’m really glad they are all doing better but one thing is for sure, I won’t be picking any mushrooms and eating them.  That was a good lesson for anyone that read about it and didn’t already know about how poisonous mushrooms can be.

Poor Mom has found out she has Acid Refluxnow on top of everything else.  I found a great blog that is just full all kinds of information about how to treat it and just about anything else you need to know about what it is.  There are natural remedies available instead of only having to take prescription medications.  Mom prefers natural things if she can find them instead of chemical or prescribed medications.  She feels that they are probably better for you and end up less harmful to your system in the end.  I agree with her.  I showed her the site I found and she has it bookmarked now.
