What are your resolutions about your pets?

Many of us have treasured, beloved pets. But how much time do you spend with yours? Oftentimes, pets are home alone all day long waiting for their beloved humans to return home and play with them. Is this you? Not that you don't love your pet dearly but you returm home from a long day and you're exhausted. You know you should spend some quality time with your pet, but you think, "let me just sit down for a minute and rest." We all do this with the best of intentions but your pet is totally dependent on you for food, water, love, entertainment and exercise. One of things I've started doing for Jack is to leave the radio, TV or a CD on for him. Many animals do seem to enjoy this and Jack is one of them. At least give it a try! Your pet may thank you!

Do dogs and cats like holiday music?

I never cease to be amazed by the new holiday music every year. Several years ago and version of "Jingle Bells," barked by dogs was taking over the radio waves. This year I've now heard the same "Jingle Bells" meowed by cats! I suppose it's clever but do you think dogs and cats get much out of it? My high school psychology professor cautioned us against anthropormorphizing, but I doubt the animals are impressed or amused! What do you think?

Want to get your pet some healing music?

Perry Wood has proven himself as a tremendous musician with his unusual debut album ANIMAL HEALING. Musically similar to the calming sounds of Steven Halpern and Kevin Kendle, Wood's delicate melodies shimmer with healing power, reducing stress and removing tension from one's animal companion. Working with Margit Coates, a respected animal healer, Wood's music is composed to touch the soul of the animal and its loving guardian in order to strengthen the bond and enhance their understanding and appreciation of each other. This hour-long recording has two extended tracks that take listeners on a journey to a soothing, calm place where animals and humans can find comfort. ANIMAL HEALING is great for jumpy cats or dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. According to the album's extensive liner notes written by Coates, this music will help open the listeners heart chakra and assist in greater intuitive communication between animal and guardian.
