Dear Friends and Family,
 Christmas is almost here. Do you have all of your shopping done?
If you know someone that would like to know what their pet is thinking, gift certificates for a consultation with me are available from my web site.
Remember to keep your pets away from the poisonous plants that are traditional at this time of year. These include poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe.
For a complete list of poisonous plants and their side effects, please take a look at the ASPCA'sweb site. For other holiday safety tips, please take a look at this article on the American Kennel Club's web site.

My Feral Friends
Itty Bitty
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen photographs of the 10 feral cats that my wife and I take care of regularly outside of our home. The picture above is of Itty Bitty. He's the most friendly and lets us pet him while he purrs and purrs. He also loves to eat!
Four of the ferals are adults (Charles, Momma Kitty, Natasha and Miss Cali) and six are 4-5 month old kittens (Itty Bitty, Skitty Bitty, Rusty, Pumpkin, Cole and Ash). As I am writing this article, all but Rusty has been spayed/neutered. But, as soon as I can catch him, he will also be neutered.
If you have feral cats that have made your house their outdoor home, you may wonder what you can do to help them stay warm this winter....especially at night.
I recommend putting towels or straw in covered litter boxes for them to sleep in. Since most of us will get rain and snow this winter, I suggest putting these covered litter boxes where they won't get wet. We have some on our covered front porch. And, thankfully, the cats do sleep in them.
Due to my allergies to cats, I never thought I would be able to have a cat. Now I have ten! But, thankfully, since these all stay outside, I don't have to worry about my allergies.
If you want to see the other photos of my feral friends, take a look at my page on Facebook.

Writing and Publishing Workshop Begins
January 18th
Do you have a story to share with the world? Are you an expert in your field and others could learn from you?
In my four-part Writing and Publishing for Self Growth and Profit tele-class, I will share what I have learned about the publishing industry from publishing my book, Wagging Tales: Every Animal Has a Tale. This includes how to attract a literary agent through query letters and proposals, writing articles and being published in magazines, blogs, and newspapers, and getting recognized as the expert. I will also discuss the different types of publishing houses (e.g. traditional publishing house, self-publishing companies, and small press publishing houses) that are available to publish your book.
A private mentoring option is available at time of course registration. For more information about this workshop and to register, please click here. |
I look forward to hearing from you all soon. Until next time, please remember that "Every Animal Has A TaleŽ".
Namasté,
Tim Link
