It’s supposed to be lightweight and contains aloe, which sounds really nice.

Should there ever be limits placed on medical procedures? I’ve been pondering this idea since I heard about the woman who received the first uterus transplant.
While I’ve never dealt with infertility, I know so many women whose lives have been consumed by it (sometimes to the point of depression, divorce, and even bankruptcy). Having a child is such a strong urge for most women; when it’s not possible naturally, doctors can help with drugs, IVF, and other things that have been proven safe. Judaism acknowledges the importance of assisted reproduction and allows it, but we really need to stress the word “safe.” What’s not safe, evidently, is a uterus transplant. At least not yet—the transplant already failed!
I have so much compassion for this lady and her struggle. I’ve never walked in her shoes and I don’t judge her actions. Personally, though, I would never do it. To her, it represented the ultimate hope and gift. For me, it seems like Frankenstein science on par with cloning, gender selection, and other gray areas.
Does carrying a baby inside your body make you a mother? I don’t think so! Ask any woman who’s adopted or used a surrogate and they’d agree. Love is what makes the parent-child connection, not just genetics. There are thousands of children, after all, who are in need of a good home. Yes, biology does play a role, and nobody should deny that, but it shouldn’t be the only factor.
I’m curious how other ladies feel. Do you think it’s ethical or too risky?

One of the biggest challenges for senior dogs is keeping them active. My beloved Chihuahua, Oscar, is almost thirteen now, and he’s not as spry as he used to be! Over the years, he has mellowed a lot and developed some medical problems like Arthritis. While I know part of that is the natural aging process, I want to encourage his vitality.
I’m focusing on taking shorter but more frequent walks, interactive play time, and especially on good nutrition (the vet told me the right food is key for longevity). Feeding him junky stuff that’s full of empty calories will only cause more problems. What Oscar needs is the right balance of fat, protein, and carbs (protein being the most important). Obviously, only a premium pet food will do.
Recently, I was offered the chance to review WeRuVa® Caloric Harmony—a high quality, all natural, dog blend that’s produced in a human food facility.
WeRuVa was created by the Forman family and is named in honor of their 3 rescue cats: Webster, Rudy, and Vanessa. Unable to find the right products for their special pets, they set out to develop their own line. 10 years, they’re still doing it, with a commitment to provide only the best for dogs and cats everywhere.
Caloric Harmony is available in three flavors; Oscar sampled the Chicken Dinner with Pumpkin. I’m very impressed with the great benefits it provides:
Since Chihuahuas are notoriously picky, I wondered if Oscar would enjoy it. I must tell you that he did. Look at him digging into that bowl with gusto!
As an added treat, WeRuVa was kind enough to send along some treats, too. Each pouch is good on its own, but he really loved it mixed with the dry kibble. It’s Oscar tested and Oscar approved!
