Hello! Welcome to the August edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month is all about the mystery behind the Rainbow Bridge poem.

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – May Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the May edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month is all about Animal Reiki, a non-invasive and complementary healing practice to promote well-being and good health for your pets.

You’ve probably heard of Reiki, it’s been around since the last century. Reiki is the combination of two Japanese words: rei “spirit” and ki, ” life energy.”

I’m always interested in different ways to help animals. And I’m excited to learn more about animal Reiki.

And since I wore my “I’m-still-a-researcher-at-heart” hat for this edition, you’ll find more useful links about Reiki.

To help us understand, I interviewed Dr. Patricia Lynn Mason, a wonderful teacher and practitioner of Reiki. Patti shared her 18-year journey practicing the art of well-being.

Enjoy!

Celebrating Women Farmers 👩🏽‍🌾 🥳

This week, we continue to celebrate National Women’s History Month in March. Today’s heroines are women farmers. We’ve been growing food and farming the land for centuries in America and around the world.

But even today, it’s still hard to know the number of women farmers worldwide. One source explained that most small-scale farmers are women in developing countries. In the agricultural sector, women are 60% to 80% of the farmers in non-industrialized countries.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) estimates that women make up 43% to 70% of the agricultural labor in developing countries.
