Yahoo! Mom & Aunt Claudia are finally getting back to work on their second book. It's an update about Tom DoRight and Dr. Feelgood and what's new in their lives. Lots of good advice coming our way. Yeah!
And this time they've got a lot more natural-health information coming out for us animals. I'm so excited. I wish they'd hurry up and finish the edit and get it out there for us!
There's a recent article from PETA I think you guys need to see. I used to ask my mom (Dr. Bera) to support them, but then I found out they don't really believe in having animals in their homes, and I love living with my humans. Read for yourselves:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-
People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine
months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that the
animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs,
cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year,
the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for
just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is
calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program,
or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's
perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical
medical research.
Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter
program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of
which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia's Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate
for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA
killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed
its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of
March 31, 2007.
"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David
Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that
deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."
In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her
organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead
animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to
dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted
of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.
Today in Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face
felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was
arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and
attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.
"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's
using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees
actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."

Most of the time I promise to keep it positive, and keep you informed about the goings-on at BASTIS Foundation and how you can be involved with us if you want to, but the information in this post seemed important enough that I thought you should all have a chance to know about it. Ok, that's all for now. Talk with you all again, soon. And on that note, lotsa love to you all, in spirit, I am, Scooch.
