How the Hen House Turns: A First Christmas with A First Dog
How the Hen House Turns: Routine Equals a Cure-allThe tradition goes back to the first Christmas I remember. I had just turned three years old. Early Christmas morning, my brother and I had crept into the living room to see what Santa had left in our stockings, but we got caught and told to stay in the hallway.
Pa and Ma disappeared for a moment, and then came back with funny smiles on their faces. Pa handed us a string to pull. “Gently,” he said. The string wiggled and pulled a little, then went slick. At the end of the string waddled a small brown and blond fluff ball Read More

Solo Traveler: The SoloistsI was in high school when I read Isabella Bird’s famous book A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains.
She was a 19th century British explorer who supported herself with writing. She traveled alone most of the time, and found that “pluck” was rather admired in the American West.
Most people were filled with too much admiration for her solo travel and independent spirit to do her any harm. Her adventure articles (and books) were published Read More

Pain Free Athlete: Posture Alignment on Aerobic Machines
Pain Free AthletePosture Alignment on Aerobic Machines
When exercising on an aerobic machine (elliptical, treadmill, bike, stair stepper, etc.) our intent is to condition our cardiovascular system. We are concerned with our heart rate, breathing and fatigue. It is all about our heart and lungs. Seldom do we consider the biomechanics needed to reach our workout intensity. Consequently, people are hunching over the machines, leaning forward and getting hurt.
Six posture related injuries from aerobic machines:
1. Ligaments are permanently stretched
Common in the pelvic Read More

How the Hen House Turns: Routine Equals a Cure-all
How the Hen House Turns: Routine Equals a Cure-all
Column by Carolyn A. (Cary) Neeper, Ph. D.
How do you restore a hen lost in what seems like depression—not eating, not getting enough calcium to lay an egg, not returning to the pen with the others for the afternoon treat?
Expensive mealy worms were not working. I tried melon rind laced with crushed calcium pills and sprinkled onto fresh corn husks.
No worries. There seems to be relief in routine—the magic required when caring for domestic animals. Americia becomes her old self when the time comes to forage outside the pen.

Giving Puppies and Kittens as Gifts
By DR. BOB FUSELIER If you ask most children what they would like for Christmas, at some point in their young lives the answer will be a puppy or kitten. This answer has always been a difficult one for anyone trying to keep up Santa’s image.
Unlike most gifts, it can’t be simply put away in a toy box or given away to some charity after the new has worn off. And, of course, all cute puppies and kittens grow up to be not-so-cute cats and dogs with needs and concerns of their own.
Having an answer that will delay the expectation of owning a pet to a time that is more appropriate is a good start for those who Read More

Solo Traveler: Traveling With Friends
Solo Traveler: Traveling With FriendsMy mother has a friend who has traveled the world alone for the last 40years. When mom hinted she’d love to go on a trip, her friend diplomatically answered, “I wouldn’t want to jeopardize our friendship.”
Traveling with other people can certainly change a relationship. I have known of a few couples who started out as friends on a trip and ended up getting married later on. It’s also not unusual for an extended trip to seriously strain a marriage.
From personal experience, I can attest to being surprised at how a person I knew before traveling Read More
