What part of a fish weighs the most?
(See answer below)

The Birds and the Bees?
A man was helping one of his cows give birth, when he noticed his
4-year-old son standing wide-eyed at the fence, soaking in the
whole event.
The man thought, "Great...he's 4 and I'm gonna have to start
explaining the birds and the bees. No need to jump the gun - I'll
just let him ask, and I'll answer."
After everything was over, the man walked over to his son and
said, "Well son, do you have any questions?"
"Just one." gasped the still wide-eyed lad. "How fast was that
calf going when he hit that cow?"

Dog Training Pointers
Some dogs would rather work for a game with a toy
than for food. Dogs that enjoy activity are easy to teach if
you want them to walk, run, or jump, but not so easy if you
want them to stay still!
Dogs can be rewarded by many things. Different dogs
will appreciate different rewards. Rewards that can
be used include, food, games, running and your approval.
When training dogs to do various tricks, most trainers
will hold a treat in their hands. Dogs watch the hands
and with a treat in them, the hands are viewed in a
positive light. Dogs are very good at learning body
signals and using our hands we can teach them various
tricks. Once the dog learns to follow our hands,
then later words can be added.

can catch from cats. Plus many articles on adopting a
cat from a shelter or taking in a stray, plus new info on
feral cats.

Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to the Super Bowl for
the 7th time!
Tippy and Turbo are huge Steelers fans and never miss a game.
They have their very own Pittsburgh Steelers black and gold jersey
which they wears for every game cheering their favorite
players and team on to victory.
Tippy and Turbo think that all canine football fans should have their
own dog jersey to root their favorite team on.
Check out Pittsburgh Steeler Dog Jerseys Here
We also have dog jerseys for every NFL team, even
Arizona Cardinals dog jerseys (boo!) there's
still time to get yours before the big game.
You can also read a short history of the Steelers at the
above link.

The Joys of Being a Dog Mom
My boys (Skeeter and Tobee) saw this poem and thought
it most appropriate for your e-letter. I am sure that many
readers will agree when they read it. Keep up the excellent
work!!!
Sincerely, Tanya, Skeeter, and Tobee Bealmer
DOG MOM
Before I was a Dog Mom: I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.
even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffed, chewies
or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags,
toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never been Drooled on
Chewed on
Or pinched by puppy teeth.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had complete control of
My thoughts
My body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing
the covers or pillow.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged
could affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy
just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside
to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being
A Dog Mom.
