My Dog Wants To Be A Vegetarian

OUR DOG WANTS TO BE A VEGETARIAN

Our dog Burban has decided he wants to be a vegetarian.  You see, Burban is an 8 year old Lab mix that we rescued in the early months of 2007 at our local Humane Society in Tennessee.  He was your normal, rambunctious puppy, who grew to love swimming, hunting lizards and squirrels, and the usual chewing everything in sight.  In May of 2009, he suddenly and unexpectedly had a seizure.  After a series of veterinarian visits and lots of medication, we finally got his seizures somewhat under control.  His medication costs were .50 cents a pill and he had to take 4 a day.  In June of 2010, he was chasing a squirrel, slipped and fell and completely tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his right hind leg.  We were given 3 options, euthanasia, amputation, or ACL reconstruction($$$).  Well, euthanasia was NOT an option, the veterinarian said that amputation was not a good idea because of his size and weight, so we chose the later.  After his surgery, physical therapy, and ultrasound treatments, Burban had gone from a 80 pound active Lab to a 105 pound, panting, mound of fat as you can see in this picture. 

May 2011

We exercised him as much as we could, took him to dog parks, beaches, other outdoor pet friendly events and we changed his diet to all natural preservative free dog food and only fresh fruits and veggies that were dog consumable for treats.  Some of his weight went down but still minimal results were becoming visible.  Also seizures were still occurring about once a month.  Our dog was rapidly aging before our eyes.

As I have mentioned in a previous blog, my family had since began to take Zija Nutritional Products. Click for information  My sister-in-law was also giving her 3 young boys (ages 4, 7, & 10) Zija's Smartmix. Click here to see more information on Smartmix   A half of a packet can be given to children under 150 pounds.   So I did some research on pets and Smartmix/Supermix.  There were so many testimonials.  ALL WERE GOOD.  Russ Bianchi formulator for Zija International has a blog specifically geared towards animals and Moringa Oleifera.  As Uncle Russ says, "you are what you eat", that goes for our animals too. Click Zija for dogs

So we started Mr. Burban on a 1/2 pack of Zija a day mixed with his breakfast in August 2014. Within a couple of weeks we noticed, he didn't have the wobbly shakes when he swatted to potty, (YES he swats, even though he's male).  He was definitely more energetic and always begging to go outside and play. His dad (my husband) even took him mountain biking and he kept up.  WOW!  No more lump on the couch.  What's funny is...every time he goes out to potty, he is now fertilizing our grass in patches where before he killed it!

Burban's Grass Fertilization 2015

As for the seizures....he has only had 1 since starting Smartmix and that was in the same month he started, way back in August 2014.   Today his medication has been cut down to 2 pills a day.  Remember, he was on 4 a day at .50 a pill!  I'm saving a $1.00 a day in medication and no seizures since August of last year. Okay, I have to buy the Smartmix which is close to that cost but no amount of money can replace his well being.  He now weighs 81 pounds down from 105 pounds and is as active as he was before his ACL surgery.  With hopes, we will be able to take him off his medication with his new dietary change (Smartmix).  

Keep in mind Smartmix is great for kids also and my nephews love it!  All 3 are active, growing boys, and getting the appropriate daily nutrition with their Smartmix.  Zija's Moringa Oleifera supplements have changed our lives!  ALL OF US INCLUDING BURBAN.  Click Ask A Scientist

More Smartmix PLEASE!

“In late 2009 we were introduced to the Zija products by Robbie Davis. We both noticed immediate health improvements and had a combined weight loss of 60 lbs.! We knew that we had something special – something that was filling a nutritional void in our lives – and wanted to share it with everyone that we knew and loved. We vowed that these products would be a staple in our household and in all of our families’ as well.

I grew up in Guthrie, Kentucky. True to tradition, I played a lot of basketball. I was awarded a full basketball scholarship to Tennessee Technological University where I earned my degree in physical education. I also played professional basketball in Indonesia. After returning to the United States, I began my career as a high school basketball coach and, most recently, served as head basketball coach, head golf coach, and assistant principal at Pickett County High School in Byrdstown, Tennessee.

Tamara is from Celina, Tennessee and was also involved in sports from an early age. She has a passion for children with disabilities and received her degree in special education from Tennessee Technological University. While at the university, she served as a sports trainer for the men’s basketball team, which is how we met. After graduation, Tamara worked as a special education teacher, girl’s softball coach, and assistant girl’s basketball coach, also at Pickett County High School.

Before becoming involved with Zija, we were a two-income family with no time, no money, hurting from physical injuries, and sinking fast!

In late summer 2011, less than twenty months after being introduced to Zija, we were able to resign from our teaching and coaching professions to pursue the Zija business full time.

Now our days are spent with family doing the things that we love and helping our team members achieve the same. We enjoy health, an active lifestyle, personal development, financial and time freedom, and all of the other things that truly make Life Unlimited. We owe it all to Zija!”http://www.drinklifein.com/media-center/rising-in-rank/greg-tamara-bibb

Ladies and Gentlemen....START YOUR ENGINES!

Ladies and Gentlemen…Start…Your…Engines!

 

Well, not the engines in your car….the engines in our bodies!  I had to learn how to start my engine again with proper nutrition.  Being a middle aged Registered Nurse, diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, my engine wasn’t running well.  Excess weight gain and fatigue had me running slow and I had to find a solution.  I was introduced to a nutritional supplement by a family member and after research, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try it.  I had nothing to lose.
