UPDATE: On Wednesday, Henrietta was found within moments of her life at the bottom of a heaping pile of trash. She was thrown away, forgotten and nearly died. Today, she has a fighting chance because of our community coming together to save her life.

Since transferring her to the ER, Henrietta has had a successful blood transfusion and is eating small amounts of food on her own. Yesterday, her progress slipped, and her blood pressure and blood sugar were both low, but she is doing better today. At this time, Henrietta still too weak to get up on her own, but she can stand with the assistance of a veterinary technician placing her on her feet. She still needs round-the-clock nursing care to prevent pressure sores and keep up with her frequent feeding schedule.

The ER reports that she is a good, sweet girl who relishes every bit of attention she gets.

We’d like to extend a tremendous ‘thank you’ to everyone who donated to help support Henrietta’s emergency and ongoing care. The outpouring of love was so great that BARCS Franky Fund will be able to help more neglected, injured and sick animals in need of specialized and emergency care in recent weeks.

Every life is important. Together we’ve shown Henrietta that she is no exception. She is worthy of good health, safety and, most importantly, love.

Thank you for your support of BARCS and the animals we serve.

To read Henrietta’s full story, or if you would like to make a gift to the Franky Fund to help BARCS always be ready to save animals like her, please visit our website: https://barcs.org/urgent-care/

As daylight savings time changes our patterns of sleeping and eating - remember - this can be a time for resolution. Make a resolution for a Healthy Holiday Season. Do not wait until the New Year to change something that can be fixed today.
Thought for today from BUDDHA: "How easily the wind overturns a frail tree. Seek happiness in the senses, indulge in food and sleep and you too will be uprooted."

Winter Weight Watch - get on the scale today and write the number down! According to a study at Cornell University, this is the lowest weight you will see for the next ten weeks - if you fall victim to the Holiday Hypnosis that leads to extra food purchases, extra eating and extra weight. Holiday weight gain typically begins with extra indulgences associated with Halloween - continues through food-based Thanksgiving and gets padded with Hanukkah and Christmas parties. The culmination of it all settles in on New Year's day with resolutions to lose the holiday weight. Unfortunately, most holiday weight is not lost until late April.
So don't wait until January to come up with a New Year's resolution - come up with a resolution today to not gain weight throughout the next 10 weeks.
Get on the scale today and do it frequently throughout the holiday season.The awareness and acknowledgement of your weight will help you gain less and drop it more quickly once January rolls around. At The Firm Advantage Fitness we can guide you through the traps of the holiday season. We specialized in nutrition counseling, personalized fitness programs and success in helping people achieve their wellness goals. firmadvantagefitness.com

Do you have "oleogustus"? You do if you have a taste for fat. Fat has just been confirmed as the sixth basic taste. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, savory, and....OLEOGUSTUS. Oleogustus on its own tastes pretty terrible, but when added to foods it creates a taste that leaves you craving more! Ayurvedic thinking believes that when we satisfy the tastes we are able to reach satiation. Satisfy your oleogustus taste with healthy fats: (monounsaturated) nuts, seeds, legumes, olive oil, etc. and keep your portions in control. Satisfying your taste buds can calm cravings and help you achieve a healthy eating lifestyle.
