Paging Dr. Christy
Haha! I wish I had a fraction of the brain power possessed by the amazing doctors in the Heart & Vascular Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Why am I in scrubs with my co-workers Bo Matthews of WIL and Randy Karraker of 101 ESPN? We’re part of the upcoming campaign with the American Heart Association to fight heart disease and prevent the need for you to experience an unplanned tour of the H & V wing. We had the privilege of being IN THE O.R. witnessing a patient undergoing a major lifesaving operation. An incredibly sobering opportunity. Most of these life threatening situations can be avoided. In the coming months you’ll hear more about what Barnes and the American Heart Association in partnership with 106.5 The Arch are doing to educate and encourage you to be proactive in making minor lifestyle changes that can make a major impact on your health. Going into the new year, start thinking of what you’re going to do to get you and your family heart healthy.
CRY or LAUGH—I’M TORN….CARDS FANS WATCH!
Wow, this kid is a Cardinal fan. Every tear in his little body streams with grief, anguish and anger. I felt his emotional plea—with teary eyes and laughter. We share your pain, buddy. Just like love, baseball will break your heart.
Grab a tissue and watch.

ADELE’S NEW SINGLE FOR SKYFALL
The song “Skyfall” was released on October 5th as part of “Global James Bond Day,” celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dr. No. Some are saying this is the best Bond theme ever. The movie hits theaters November 9th.
FREE Flu Shot Clinics
Get your flu shot! If you don’t, you’ll be sorry when you’re going through a box of tissues every hour or as they say, “praying at the porcelain altar.” Not fun, and a lot of the time avoidable. There are many, many different strains of the flu and the flu shot doesn’t prevent all of them but it could prevent the one that wants to invade your body.
Here is the link to the Barnes-Jewish sponsored clinic at various locations around the St. Louis area.
EDDIE MONEY COMMERCIAL – FUNNY!!

The food stealer…
My dog Joey, the cutest little Boston Terrier ever, is quite the tiny little sneak. He’s a little guy but has no fear when it comes to sneaking bites from the other dog’s food bowls. He was a puppy mill rescue, so it’s no wonder where he got his “eat or starve” mentality. But since feeding him Chef Michael’s Food For Dogs, this little issue has gotten worse. All of the dogs (4) love the mixtures of the dry Chef Micheal’s with the wet food, but he seems to go into lunatic mode at mealtime. He’s not snarling and showing teeth or anything, but if he thinks one of the other dogs isn’t eating it fast enough, oh yeah, he moves in.
Fair warning to anyone that has a dog that may have come from a shelter, or even one that shares mealtime with another canine friend—keep an eye on them. Chef Micheal’s is more flavorful and packed with real beef or chicken as the primary ingredient. With a food so different from ordinary dog food, they may think it’s human food. And you know how nutty they get when they get goodies.
Go to facebook.com/foodfordogs and “Like” Chef Michael’s and download a coupon to use at PetCo, Schnucks or your favorite store. And sign the “PAWtition” to bring the Chef Michael’s Food for Dogs food truck to STL! I’m hoping we can get it to stop at Food Truck Fridays at Tower Grove Park, which goes through October. Help me make it happen!
Your dog will LOVE this!
I
magine this dreamy scenario for your dog, he’s in a park, among many many squirrels, enjoying the shade and a bowl of gourmet Food for Dogs, courtesy of Chef Michael’s! And imagine this scenario for yourself, you’re in a park, among many many squirrels, enjoying the shade and stuffing your face with umpteen different kinds of food during Tower Grove Park’s Food Truck Fridays! You AND your dog could be enjoying these dreams together! Chef Michael’s Food for Dogs has joined the food truck craze after noticing there was nothing to provide our pets the same convenience for gourmet goods! I’m trying to get that food truck to stop here in STL and I need your help! Go to facebook.com/foodfordogs and “Like” Chef Michael’s and sign the “PAWtition” to bring the Chef Michael’s truck to Tower Grove Park’s Food Truck Fridays, you’ll even get a coupon while you’re there. I’ve been feeding my dogs Chef Micheal’s first and foremost because of the high quality ingredients, real beef and real chicken are the first ingredients. Not only that, the food was created to give them a human food experience with flavors and textures they haven’t been getting in any other dog food. They love it! Your dog will too, trust me. Dogs are the ultimate foodies, afterall. We’re not fooling them with the bland kibble, they know the difference.
Do you love your dog this much….
We all love to spoil our dogs in every way. Some throw birthday parties complete with doggy cake and ice cream, and some cart their pooches around in strollers. Yes, it may seem excessive. Okay it IS excessive. Dogs would be just as happy with a bowl full of our leftovers as they would a cake. And don’t get me started on the doggy strollers, dogs are perfectly fine with walking. It’s what they LIKE to do! If you like to spoil your dog, and you’re somewhat normal, you most likely use meal time as a way to brighten your dog’s day. Chef Michael’s Food For Dogs knows you love your dog and the panel of experts at Purina know dogs, and what they love. Dog behaviorists, veternarians and Purina’s own executive chef, Amanda Hassner came up with a full menu of gourmet creations for your dog, so they too can indulge at dinner time! I’ve been feeding my dogs Chef Michael’s and have been adding the wet meals to their favorite Chef Michael’s dry food, and it only takes a second before it’s gone. The Beef Brisket Carvery Creation mixed with the Sirloin Steak Dry Dinner is the one that seems to be the favorite. Chef Micheal’s is different because not only does it have real beef or chicken as the first ingredients, but the flavors and aromos were created to appeal to a dog’s acute senses. Aromas that actually appeal to them along with tastes that they would experience as if you just cooked them a steak or roasted chicken!
Gourmet all 
the way! Go to facebook.com/foodfordogs, like Chef Michael’s and download a coupon and save a Petco, Schnucks or your favorite pet food retailer!
BRING YOUR DOGS!
Hi! It’s Christy, I hope you can join me at the Wentzville PetSmart (Wentzville Pkwy) Saturday June 14th from 2-4. Bring your dogs and pick up some coupons for Chef Michael’s Food for Dogs! We’ll also be signing you up to win Chef Michael’s prize baskets along with night out to the Summerland Tour at The Family Arena. I’ll have my two silly Boston Terriers, Joey and Winston there with me. You must meet them! Winston will instantly be your best friend and you’ll just want to pick up Joey and squeeze him, he’s so cute.
They’ve been getting pampered at dinner time with Chef Michael’s for a while now, and will surely be sniffing out those gift baskets!. I’ll definitely have to keep a close eye on them. Chef Michael’s is unique compared to other dog foods, because it was created by Purina’s own executive chef! She knows dogs and knows they have a far better sense of taste and smell than we do. So why is it that most dog foods have ingredients that are not at all appetizing to your dog? They are tired of the bitter, sour, tasteless dry dog food. Give them something with aromas, textures and tastes that will actually satisfy them! That’s Chef Michael’s!

In DESPERATE need of a home…
I have a full house of 4 dogs and 3 cats, otherwise I would foster this little guy. Can you foster him until a forever home can be found? He’ll be forever grateful.
|
Mick, a sweet border collie/heeler mix needs a foster home or forever home NOW.
My friend, Lorrie, who is fostering Mick has stage III lymphoma. She just completed her final chemotherapy treatment and has now begun daily radiation treatments which leaves her in pain, completely exhausted and has many, many more months of treatment.
Like me, Lorrie is a HUGE animal advocate and has her hands full. She has 5 dogs and 2 cats in her home right now. Three of the dogs are her own, the other 2 are foster dogs, as well as two children. The secondary issue is 2 of her dogs are aggressive towards Mick and since Mick is submissive he is continually getting attacked, or has to be crated for extensive time in order for her to bring the dogs out at different times so a huge fight doesn’t happen.
With Lorrie’s weakened immune system and the stress this is causing her, her family and Mick, she has to find an alternate home for Mick or seriously consider having him humanely euthanized.
NO, this is not a decision that Lorrie takes lightly. She’s contacted multiple rescue groups and no one has room for Mick. She’s been fostering MICK for over one year and has had many people contact her about Mick but it has never materialized into him finding a home. Either they are looking for a free dog for possibly something unsavory to happen to Mick or they are just curious. Whatever, the case, Lorrie won’t just give Mick away to anyone that shows an interest in him. I told her I would help with any home checks. Lorrie has been diligently trying to find him a good forever home but with her health issues, she can’t continue to foster him.
A little history on Mick. He is about 30 lbs., slim built but very laid-back. He’s about 2 yrs old, neutered, up to date with shots, housebroken, great with other dogs and cats.
Mick is initially shy around new people and would do best with an older child. Mick would need a fenced in yard or someone that would be dedicated to always keeping him leashed when he is outside.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at knachtweih@yahoo.com or by phone at 314.638.2704.
Thanks so much!!

Go ahead, SPOIL your dogs!
Do your dogs unenthusiastically walk to their bowls at dinner time—then walk away? For some, their dog’s satisfaction at meal time is last on their list of priorities. For those of us that love to spoil our dogs, we make sure they’re happy, often adding veggies and fish and meat to their bowls.
Chef Michael’s Food for Dogs is so appetizing for dogs, they devour it in moments. True happiness shows in their wiggly wagging butts! That’s what I love about dogs, so easy to please and ever so grateful.
My dogs are like my children. I’ve even been told that I treat my dogs better than some treat their kids! I don’t know about that, but my dogs do get special treatment with Chef Michael’s!
For Those Who Spoil Their Dogs
If you’re one of those dog owners that stores an album full pictures of cutsey little poses on your phone, or if you’re dog’s face is the profile picture of your facebook page – I have a question for you. Are you really spoiling your dog enough? I’m not talking fancy clothes or the cutest matching leash and collar set you can find, but with the one thing that is most important to your dog – THEIR FOOD. That’s really how they want you to spoil them, at dinner time! Purina’s latest genius creation, Chef Michael’s Food for Dogs, is like giving your dog a gourmet meal. I’ve started feeding it to my dogs, and my Boston Terrier, Joey (who is a very finicky eater) devours Chef Michael’s in seconds. When he’s done, he gives me the “more please” look. If you’re not getting that look from your dog, you should be feeding them Chef Michael’s–they’ll love it and they’ll love you!
Go to facebook.com/foodfordogs to get a coupon–just “Like” Chef Michael’s.

Ever been on the field at Busch?
For the second year 106.5 The Arch has partnered with the American Heart Association for the Heart Walk at Busch Stadium, this year being held on May 19th at 9am. Heart disease is the #1 killer, taking more lives every year than all cancers combined. So many of our family and friends and even our co-workers – are here to tell their heart attack stories, sharing the way the felt while it was happening and not quite knowing for sure what it was they were experiencing. That is exactly the reason for the Heart Walk. To educate everyone of the symptoms leading up to and during a heart attack so they know what to do if they or anyone they know is possibly having a heart attack.
I remember being in the hospital with my family right after my Grandma had her heart attack, which ended in a quadruple by-pass. The doctor was next to her hospital bed telling her she had a heart attack and she said to him, ” I didn’t have a heart attack, it didn’t feel like a heart attack.”
She just didn’t know what the warning signs were, and had been ignoring the pain near her shoulder blade for days.
My Grandma will be the one I’ll walk for on May 19th. Walk for the person in your life that has been affected.

Who will be on Dancing With the Stars?
Ryan Tedder, singer of One Republic and one of the producers of Adele’s record “21″ revealed on the Grammy Red Carpet that his good friend, Gavin DeGraw is getting fitted for dancin’ shoes. No statement from his camp or the DWTS camp has acknowledged the rumor.
You MUST see this!
Justin Timberlake never ceases to amaze me with his talent. He appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night to promote his new movie “Friends with Benefits,” but it turned into another awesome Justin and Jimmy moment.

DOGS NEED VEGGIES TOO!
For years, I have been feeding my dogs veggies. They LOVE them. As a matter of fact, my Pug, Ling, will not eat her food and continuously barks at me until I get the canned carrots in her bowl.
In 2006, my dog Suki died from cancer. Doing research to keep her as healthy as I could, I found out that 50% of dogs and cats get cancer, mainly because their immune systems are so worn down from undernourishing commercial dog food. Before the 1950′s, commercial dog food didn’t really exist, and neither did the abundance of cancer in pets. People just fed their dogs table scraps, meats and veggies giving them the same needed nutrients of their humans.
The sad truth is, most commercial dog food, even the expensive stuff, is filled with very low quality ingredients; corn, animal by-products (gross, look it up) and other fillers.
Dr. Andrew Weil’s article about incorprating veggies and other “human food” into your dog’s diet is one every pet owner should read.
