Hi all! Today, I’m happy to be featuring a guest post from Jordan Walker! When it comes to animals, Jordan Walker is an expert. He tries to help other pet owners through writing useful information in the Coops And Cages blog. And now, he shares with us some tips on how to raise chickens in our very own backyard.
There are a lot of reasons behind the hype in raising chickens in the backyard. Whether it’s because of the eggs, chickens as pets or the compost pile, there will always be a lot of things to like about raising them.
Breeders should be committed with the work that comes along as this can be tiring. Chickens can poop a lot which means shoveling manure and turning it into a compost pile is an all-year round workload.
However, prospective breeders should remember that nothing comes easy. Raising chickens is not always a bed of roses because there are a number of factors to consider. Take note of the breed of chicken you want to raise and the number of the entire brood to be kept. Shelter, nesting boxes, food and water are also important players to effectively raise them.
Ideas for building chicken shelters
Chicken shelters and lighting temperature vary according to the age of the brood. Chicks need warmer temperature until they reach two months because they are more critical to temperature compared to adult chickens.
The first two months of baby chick’s lives are crucial and getting a heat lamp would make it easier for them to feel warm. Some breeders make use of an incubator to ensure that chicks receive adequate heat. To save on costs, a breeder can also buy a standard bulb to be placed inside the chicks’ shelter. Make sure a thermometer is placed as well to be able to adjust in case it gets too hot or cool.
After the chicks reach two months old, they can be transferred to an outdoor chicken coop with the standard size of 4’x4′ for about four chickens. Breeders should also have boxes that measure 12”x12”x12” for hens to lay their eggs in. You can expect to get several eggs per week, or even one each day during laying season.
On the other hand, a 10 square feet forage area is enough for large fowl chickens roam while bantams can make use of a 7.5 square feet chicken run. Meanwhile, breeders can also allow their chickens to roam freely. However, chickens also need to be confined especially during hot, sunny days. They can have heat stress, too!
Breeders can also include a dust bath along with stumps and other “furniture” inside their coops. Having perches will also help resolve stresses along with their other chicken related issues.
Perch ideas for raising chickens
Chickens have natural roosting instincts. Broods love to alight themselves to rest even in tree branches. Breeders can build 18 inches to 24 inches of head space to make sure they don’t bump their heads every time they fly up to rest.
The space allotted for perches depend on the chicken you have. Large fowl chickens need 12 inches of perch space while bantams can make use of a 9-inch perch space. Materials for building perches are available from local hardware stores.
On the other hand, breeders can save building costs by using natural wood. However, not all types of wood are healthy for chicken so it would be best to check first prior construction.
Food and water for chicken brood
Chickens are inexpensive to raise and do not require much of a breeder’s time to fully grow. However, breeders are responsible for what their chickens eat. This will determine the kind of eggs they lay and the kind of meat they have.
Baby chicks should be given starter feeds found in local poultry supply stores. This will help boost their immune system. It will also help them grow a lot faster and healthier.
Meanwhile, adult chickens can be fed with mostly anything you find in the kitchen. Breeders can give them kitchen scraps including vegetables, fruits, grains and even meat. This will help ensure that the eggs they lay and their meat does not contain chemicals or toxins given that you know what is being fed to them.
Water is also important so don’t forget to put a clean bowl filled with it. Like humans, chickens get thirsty too. Chickens, especially baby chicks, need adequate supply of water to keep them cool.
Other factors to consider in raising chickens
There are other important things that you need to consider after you have selected the chicken breed you are to raise, their number, the design of the coop and the type of food you’d give your chickens.
Prospective breeders in the country will have no problems in raising chickens in their backyards because it is widely accepted in the area. However, urban chicken breeders may face some issues with local legislation. That is why it would be best to ask the animal control department should you wish to have chickens raised the backyard of your house within an urban zone.
Another factor to consider is the unexpected death of chickens caused by preying animals. It would be horrific to see your chickens being nibbled by a hungry fox or have a missing one in the brood. Nevertheless, this should not keep you from raising a brood as there are more benefits that you can derive compared to its downside.

Seatbelts for dogs – The Cuddly Killer.
It’s impossible not to smile at the sight of a dog with its head out of a car window – hair and gums blown back in the wind, but the Highway Code is clear that drivers must ensure "dogs or other animals are suitably restrained so that they cannot distract you whilst you are driving or injure you, or themselves, if you stop quickly". Failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, as a motorist with a Chihuahua on his lap recently found out.
We are all rushing around trying to battle through the traffic to get from A to B as quickly as possible with the kids and dog herded into the car. It wouldn’t occur to any of us now to set off without making sure our passengers have their seatbelts on – but an unrestrained dog is not only a huge distraction but also capable of causing considerable injury to the passengers if an accident occurs (as well of course to itself!). A medium sized dog, such as a spaniel, can weigh 45 to 50lbs – so that is 45 to 50lbs of unrestrained weight being catapulted around the car in an accident.
During a 30mph accident a dog’s body weight also increases by more than 30 times. So that spaniel now weighs nearly a tonne.
As fun as it is to see a dog with its head sticking out of the window, ears and lips flapping uncontrollably, make sure that your dog is properly restrained for its own safety and the safety of everyone else in the car. There are all sorts of products on the market to include a dog seat belt harness, pet carrier, dog cage or guard.
It’s worth adding that insurance companies are also very keen to look at where a dog was in a car at the time of an accident. If an insurer believes that a dog was roaming freely around the vehicle and could have contributed to the accident then the insurance company could refuse to pay out - which wouldn’t be a Happy Dog Story ending.

How to find a Good Breeder
1. A good breeder does health testing. If a breeder does no testing, you will have no idea what troubles could be ahead. Testing cannot guarantee 100% healthy cats, however. Even cats from tested lines can develop health problems but get as much testing behind your baby as you can for your own sense of security.
2.A good breeder shows the facility of the cattery on the website. If you cannot go to the breeder's home in person to get your kitten, don't be afraid to ask for more photos of the cats in their environment. Do not buy where many cages, especially small ones, are seen. A cage may be needed in a sick room, or a birthing room. A walk-in pen may be used to keep boys separated from girls, but anyone who has walls lined with cages is not a good place to buy from. If you are able to visit the cattery, look for relaxed and happy Maine coons who adore their people. Some Maine coons are wary of strangers but should not be frightened of them. Sometimes a shy adult will avoid visitors. But just be sure the whole cattery group is not like this. Allow the cats to watch you and sniff you while you attempt a pet and then some neck scratching. Once they allow this and are purring, you are accepted, and you can then see the personalities of the cats at this cattery. Some Maine coons are not wary of strangers and will grab you as soon as you walk in the door. It is not normal for an entire group to ignore visitors. It an individual thing and you should be able to make friends with a few within minutes with most.
3.A good cattery is not overcrowded. If you visit in person, ask to see other rooms where cats also may be living. On occasion a breeder may have two or three litters close to one another and be very full of babies, but this should not be the norm. Eight adult females and a couple males, along with kittens and a few adolescents is plenty to fill a cattery. Use your own judgment. There is no rule here, but you can tell a clean area. If you smell urine, it is possible they have a spraying male, and this smell will not go away for some time. But take a look around and make sure that the cats are happy and healthy looking. Be alert for dripping eyes, sneezing, skin problems or other signs of sickness (unless in a separated sick room). Watch out for no clutter and filth around you.
4.A good breeder is transparent about potential problems or weaknesses in certain lines. There is no disease-free line or genetic problem-free cattery. If you are being told such things, do not work with this breeder. There are always problems of some sort and if you are told of a problem in a line or litter, do not be afraid. This is a breeder who is being honest with you and that is an important beginning. If a breeder is new or being mentored, they may not know the lines well and we suggest you then contact those who are mentoring them.
5.A good breeder has a healthy diet for the cats they own and raise. Setting out kibbles and nothing else is not a proper or healthy-enough diet for most cats. There are many types of dry food now and some are very healthy while others are not. Since the cat is a carnivore, many breeders feed a raw meat program which is very healthy. But not all breeders can or want to feed raw. We can talk diet with you later, and what you want to feed is your choice. You will be able to tell a lot from observing the cats in person. Are their eyes bright and are the cats alert and happy? Do they have healthy fur and skin?
6. A good breeder should take some time to get to know you before approving you for the purchase of one of their babies. Some will ask for details of your home. Others may just ask what you are wanting in a pet. Make sure you are buying from a breeder who cares about the future of the Maine Coon breed as well as their kittens they are selling. If you are not a breeder, do not even attempt to ask for breeding rights on a kitten. All responsible breeders will either sell their kittens with a neuter/spay agreement or have them neutered or spayed before leaving their home. To become a Maine Coon breeder takes many years of research, learning and showing in premiership (neutered championship class). If purchasing from a newer breeder, ask some questions. A newer breeder should be under the mentorship of a long-term breeder.
7. A good breeder should have a pet contract that requires a basic set of rules for you to follow. You may not always like the rules in the contract, but they are important for the cat and his future. The basics every breeder should have you agree to is to never let you declaw the cat or allow the cat loose outdoors. The contract should require you to neuter/spay by a certain age (usually by 7 months) and to provide a nutritious diet and veterinary care for the life of your cat.
8. A good breeder will not allow the kittens to leave their home before the age of 12 weeks (and sometimes much later). They will provide registration papers, although some will not give those until you have the kitten neutered or spayed.
9. A good breeder does not continually sell deals. To provide good quality care, constant deals are not possible to give. Sometimes a breeder will have lower priced kittens due to lesser quality/size, an older age kitten or a spayed/neutered adult. These are fine for one-time deals. Just remember that a rule of thumb is you get what you pay for.
10. A good breeder has a good reputation. Ask other breeders, as well as pet buyers, what they know about the breeder you have in mind. Their experiences can help you decide whether you want to buy a kitten from someone. Do not be fooled by backyard breeders. Kitten mills can have very appealing websites with great pictures. They often use titles of ancestral cats and health testing results of other catteries to look reputable. Most of them have never lifted a finger to earn any titles, let alone testing any of their own breeding stock. So, make sure you ask lots of questions before committing to a purchase. A newer breeder may not yet know the answers to your questions and that is part of their learning, so do not be afraid, unless they are not being mentored. If you want a kitten from a new breeder, just ask to talk to their mentor.


Is neutering/ sterilizing pet cats allowed in Islam?
Pets are our responsibility. Hence, it is permissible for us to care for them to the best of our ability as long as it does not constitute any form of cruelty to the pet and does not contradict Islamic teachings. Neutering or sterilizing a pet is permissible as it is not considered as a form of cruelty towards the animal itself unless the procedure is performed when it is still conscious.
A comparison can be made with similar procedures performed on humans such as ligation and vasectomy which does not constitute any prolonged pain.
Hence, there is nothing wrong with sterilizing an animal as it does not involve any prolonged pain. It is also not a form of changing Allah's creation as it is performed with the intention to lessen the number of stray cats and uncontrolled breeding. What is forbidden is changing Allah's creation without any valid reason.

|Sultan - my old nemesis lead dog|
When we got back to the dog yard I put the dogs away in the order I thought we might use the next time they went out. The dog I would use in swing would be put in the doghouse nearest the lead and the dogs I thought did not do well would be put in the houses farthest away, to be put at the wheel position in front of the sled. Then I had Doug critique me. He said we would never get out of the dog yard with them in that order. I had put T-bone in the position of swing and had forgotten that he had been there before and did not do well. He dug in and drove well but was easily distracted and needed to be at the wheel. He also did not like the other dog that would have been next to him in swing and we would have had a dog fight before we left the yard, the next time. I was learning, but as Doug said, I had a whole lot to learn and not a lot of time to learn it. While I was gone, Doug would continue to run the dogs to train them and increase their endurance. By the time I came back at the end of the month, he would have condensed the 15 dogs into two teams. He would run each team every other day. They would be running 5-10 miles during each training run when I returned.

After 10 years of pushing and prodding, I finally gave in to a dog. Honestly, I always knew we would get one someday, but my reluctance was due to the fact that dogs complicate life. More than kids. You can take kids with you pretty much wherever you go. Dogs are not welcome most public places. Dogs make it more difficult to travel because you have to find a person or place to care for them while you are gone. Dogs shed. Dogs have to be let out to go potty. And, I KNEW, I could not be a dog owner who keeps the dog outside. A pet is part of the family. What IS the point of owning a dog if it spends all it's time away from the family? I needed to be really ready.
So, I gave in on the condition that I got to pick the breed and the name. I think I found a winner with little miss Maggie.
It's a new era for this family. :)

e-book Puppies on the Patio (Bedtime Stories for Dogs Book 1)
Yolanda Sevogia's neighbor, Stacey Savige, knocked on her door one morning asking if she could keep an eye on a lost terrier she found roaming around the local elementary school. Yolanda agreed to watch the dog, but told Stacey it would only be for the day. The two women took photos of the dog and printed off 4, FOUND fliers, stuffed them in mailboxes and also placed an ad on Craigslist. In the meantime, Yolanda went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.
At the time Yolanda's son Azaiah was 10 years old, and Christian was 21 years old. Christian has Down syndrome and an assortment of other ailments, and had recently undergone heart and kidney surgeries.
Four days later Yolanda was still looking after the dog, who they had started to call RaeLee pronounced Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog flung himself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, RaeLee sprinted into the boys' room where Yolanda found Christian in the middle of a violent seizure.

Vet Dr Dean Tait vaccinating against Parvovirus.
IPSWICH vets are warning dog owners to ensure their pets are vaccinated after reporting an outbreak of the deadly Parvovirus in the city.
Greencross Moreton veterinary director Dr Jim Kennedy said his Redbank Plains-based clinic had this month already seen 15 dogs diagnosed with the deadly virus.
Dr Kennedy's warnings of a parvo outbreak comes just two months after Dr Scott Campbell from the Booval Veterinary Hospital told The Queensland Times that incidents of the virus were on the rise. Dr Kennedy said in one of his cases this month, seven pups from one litter were affected and two required hospital treatment before being allowed home.
"Those two pups were very lucky to survive, and for any vet and animal lover it really is soul destroying to see them go through such intense suffering," Dr Kennedy said.
"The amount of parvo cases we see fluctuates over time but at the moment we are seeing lots of cases coming in."
He said the virus could not be cured in an infected dog, with supportive therapy the only option vets had.
Dr Kennedy said even with therapy a number of parvovirus infected dogs will die, and said vaccination was the best way to combat the problem.
He said most parvovirus cases requiring hospitalisation where dogs are not previous immunised, cost between $500 and $1000. He estimated vaccination costs were between $70 and $100.
"It's far cheaper to pay for a vaccination than it is to pay for a week or more of hospitalisation and the real chance of your mate dying," he said.
"We as vets and vet nurses hate seeing dogs coming in with parvo and it breaks our heart to see people realise they can't afford to pay for treatment and they have to go with euthanasia because of that."
The virus – which attacks dogs' gastrointestinal tract causing internal bleeding, vomiting and diarrhoea – is historically highly prevalent in Ipswich.
It can spread via dog-to-dog contact, or via contaminated soil and grass, where it can survive and infect dogs for up to five years.
Puppies can take three vaccinations from six to eight weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks, with booster shots for each following year.


Nothing much of note has happened in the last week so this will be short.
I let my dog nap on the bed in the evenings. It ensures she stays out of trouble and I like the companionship. She doesn’t spend the entire night as she wriggles and I’m a light sleeper. Last night I asked her to get down, as she knows she should, when I went to bed. She was having none of it. She curled up tightly and starting wagging her tail as if she was thinking “I bet I can stay up here if I’m really cute.” I picked her up, still in a ball, and gently placed her in her own rather plush bed. She was so annoyed her plan hadn’t worked that she actually curled up again, with her face away from me. I tried to scratch her belly, which always works, and she wanted nothing to do with me. My dog was pouting! I nearly fell over, I laughed that much.


Pet owners desire to do as much as is feasible to help their own family pet be healthy and happy. When they’ll first receive their new pet, it really is critical for them to uncover a clinic to enable them to obtain the shots plus other medical care their own dog or cat needs in order to prevent a lot of conditions from occurring and to ensure their family pet receives any kind of health care they may need to have later on.
It’s recommended for an individual to setup an appointment at a veterinary clinic when they bring the brand-new dog or cat home. This will help them to talk with the veterinarian as well as to be certain their new pet will be up to date on any kind of shots they might need to have. After that, they’re going to want to bring their dog or cat to the clinic for routine medical treatment as well as can know precisely where they can go in case they’ll have to have virtually any crisis assistance for their pet.
If perhaps you have a new pet, make certain they’ll receive all of the medical care they might have to have. Begin with contacting the Parkside Animal Health Center or even visit their own website at http://animalhospitalaurora.net/ now to understand a lot more regarding the services they will supply plus to find out how they are able to help to make sure your family pet will be as healthy as possible.


Today’s guest blogger is Kelly Over, our Education Program Assistant. All animals featured in the photos belong to our staff members and we were told that no animals were injured while posing for photos!
When discussing family members, many of us undoubtedly include our furry additions-pets! How often do we involve pets as part of the annual family Christmas photo? Or take them to the groomers more often than we frequent the hair dresser?
We’ve done previous posts about protecting your family—proper storage, signal words, and poison prevention—but wanted to dedicate this blog to our furry family members. This two-part feature will begin with safe household practices and poison help for your pet and the second part (in a future blog) will focus on flea and tick applications, as well as recognizing counterfeit pet pesticides.
Household Pesticide Products and Your Pets
Similar to the principles that apply to young children, the same practices can be applied to pets.
- Make sure products are stored out of reach of your pets, especially in areas where a pet can noticeably access, i.e., garden sheds, garages, basements, or back rooms of your home.
- Remove your pet’s food bowls, water dishes, bedding, toys, and other belongings before using a pesticide product in the area these items may be located.
- After application, ensure the space is well ventilated and confirm the product has properly dried before allowing your pet to reenter the area. This includes outside areas as well.
- Use caution when placing bait stations around the house to ensure that pets cannot access them.
- Always READ the LABEL for more specific instructions on pesticide safety around your pet!
The Pesticide Education Program emphasizes the importance of keeping products in their original containers for the safety of humans so keep this in mind for your pet as well!
While your pet might not be able to unscrew a bottle cap, a product stored in an alternative container with a loose fitting lid or even no lid could allow the product to easily spill. The original container, with its normal tight fitting lid or cap, could prevent your pet from a potential chemical exposure. Be sure to keep your pets out of the area if you do have to clean up a product spill.
Pesticide Exposure Symptoms of Pets
A pet’s eyes, nose, and mouth are potential routes for “pesticides to be absorbed into your pet’s bloodstream through their mucous membranes.”(1) If you are concerned that your pet was exposed to a pesticide, watch for the symptoms listed below or other uncharacteristic behaviors.
- Increased Salivation
- Tremors, Convulsions, or Seizures
- Losing Consciousness
- Difficulty Breathing
Where to Find Help
If your animal is exhibiting extremely adverse symptoms, immediately take your pet to an emergency veterinarian clinic or to your veterinarian with the suspected poisoning product/label. If the symptoms seem less severe, call your veterinarian. In either case, be sure to share your observed symptoms, the product’s label, and your animal’s characteristics (breed, age, weight, etc.). Keep your veterinarian’s number accessible or even add the number to your contact list in your mobile device.
You can also call the National Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. Poison Centers will do their best to offer pet assistance; if they are not able to help, you will often be referred to the Animal Poison Control Center hotline at 1-888-426-4435. There is a consultation fee associated with this service; please visit Animal Poison Control Center for more information.
Perhaps the best advice is BE AWARE and USE CAUTION. Just like you would with your other family members, use common sense to be aware of where products are being stored, what product is being used, and where the product is being applied. Many of us treat our pets as family members….be sure to execute the same care when it comes to using pesticides around your pets.
Remember, Happy Pets Make for Happy Homes!
Until Next Time,

Care for Georgia’s Animals This World Spay Day
Earlier this year, Governor Nathan Deal proclaimed February as Spay and Neuter Awareness Month in Georgia. And today, we recognize World Spay Day. As stated in the official proclamation, if we own pets, we have a responsibility to spay and neuter them.
More than $1 billion is spent and millions of dogs and cats are euthanized every year due to overpopulation. Proper pet sterilization has proven to drastically reduce this very real problem.
Beyond its benefits to the overall animal population, spaying and neutering has shown numerous medical and behavioral benefits for individual animals. These benefits include:
- Reduced risk of uterine infections and breast tumors in females
- Reduced risk of testicular cancer and some prostate problems in males
- Reduced likelihood for male dogs to leave home, thus protecting them from diseased or aggressive animals and busy roadways
- Better behavior and reduced aggression in males
If your pet needs to be spayed or neutered, speak with your local veterinarian for more information.
Dog and Cat Sterilization Program
Since 2003 the Georgia Department of Agriculture has administered the Dog and Cat Sterilization Program. The program helps offset the costs for animal shelters and rescue organizations to spay and neuter dogs and cats. Funds for the program come entirely from the sale of specialty license plates, an income tax check-off option, private donations, and grants.
Last year, the Dog and Cat Sterilization Program was able to award $600,000 in grants to 66 shelters and rescue organizations. That’s nearly a 200% increase from 2015!

The seven golden rules of responsible pet ownership
Author: dr. Ilona Kobzos
Sooner or later, most families begin to think about adopting a pet.
Before this happens careful planning is needed. You must make an honest assessment about the lifestyle, schedules of the family, wether it suits the animal or not. To avoid later troubles you must evaluate all the circumstances before making the decision on what breed to choose. Keep in mind that even a dog or cat adoption means committment for ten to fifteen years.
Especially the hearts of the children are captivated by a hairy little thing, but do not forget that the cute and fluffy babies will grow up in time but deserve the same love as when they were small. You should equally look after them on all the 365 days of the year, even when you are tired or do not feel like to act around them. They are living creatures, not stuffed animals, whom you put on the shelf and take it off when you feel like.
If you want to bond with your cat or dog and expect them to be affectionate, you should love them as much as you expect from them. Never unleash your anger on your pet. They neither understand nor can be blamed. All pet owners have experienced that the animals can sense our emotions without telling a word. These are the most touching moments when our pet consoles us when we are down.
Keep in mind that no medication is as effective as the proper, balanced breed-specific nutrition. Feed him or her at the same time every day with appropriate food for the life stage. Do not forget that a lot of human food is specifically toxic to pets. A responsible pet owner is aware of this information before adopting a pet. The second pillar of proper nutrition is the substantial amount of fresh clean wate in their bowl. They can be just as thirsty as we are.
It is important to know that every animal needs regular exercises, even hamsters and guinea pigs. It is well known that dogs need walk several times a day, especially if you keep them in a flat. It is a myth that dogs who live in residential houses with a garden do not need walks. There are certain breeds who need even more physical exercise. Many people therefore opt for a cat. This is partly true, but these small fluffy creatures need exercises as well, especially when they are young. If you keep your cat exclusively indoors, you must furnish your apartment to satisfy their specific needs. There is a variety of cat furniture, most of them can be made do-it-yourself with a little skill and some materials. You do not need to buy expensive store miracles. It is important that it is made from some natural material that they can scratch. This is partly to maintain their claws - as we cut our nails -, and partly to mark their territory.
You can be a happy pet owner only if your pet is perfectly healthy. This includes regular visits to the vet. Take him or her to the veterinarian for a checkup and vaccinations at least once a year. Regular deworming is just as important. It is recommended to deworm outdoor animals monthly, while indoors in every six month.
We are responsible not only for our pet but also for her offspring. Before deciding to breed you must remember that you will be the person with the primary responsibility for finding good homes for the babies. Otherwise you just increase the number of unwanted stray dogs in the streets and animal shelters. Animal protection organizations make enormous efforts to encourage spaying and neutering. You must recognise that it does not harm your pet but has several advantages to him or her.
Finally, we can not ignore the environment. Pets and owners must live in perfect harmony. You must create an environment where both of you feel safe and comfortable.
If you consider carefully all the above mentioned recommendations before bringing an animal into your home, it will be a joyful thing to take care of them.

Ignoring My Family for my Art
Geri Kitty is the most put out by the lack of attention:
Geri: "Hey mom you can pet me now"
Me: "I'm working, I can't."
Geri: "I don't think you understand...I am giving you permission to pet me now"
Me: "Can I pet you later?"
Geri: "I'm going to go pee in your shoe"
Me: "Wait...What? "
Geri: "Oh...er...I said toodaloo!"
~2 hours later~
Me: "ok Ger I can pet you now"
Geri: " Um, no thanks. My fur is going in the right direction now, if you pet me you will undo 2 hours of hard work. I would rather you didn't touch me."
Me: "But I'm done working so I can pet you now! "
Geri: "If you pet me I will scratch the flesh off your arm. I will come find you later when I am ready...say 'round 1am? Now go away before I cut you."


How to care for your...
On this page, I will post how to care for your miniature horses, or pygmy goats, or nigerian goats, or dogs. I hope that this is useful to you. And DON'T MISTREAT YOUR ANIMALS. IT IS A FINE OR A JAIL SENTENCE!!! It is mean, too.
SPACE and SHELTER
Miniature horses can be raised in a very small space if necessary. A twenty foot by thirty foot pen will be more than adequate with exercise and feeding. We like our horses to all have a shelter they can get into if they choose to do so. Many will stay out in the worst weather, but it is by their choice. If you have an acre of pasture then natural exercise and grazing should take care of your horse nicely. Some type of shelter is still desirable. We have both three sided sheds and sheds with a partial fourth wall. Remember that the air flow for miniatures needs to be lower than for the big guys. Miniatures that are stalled in full size horse stalls can quickly get sour because they can’t see out. If you are building stalls in a barn an eight by eight stall is adequate for normal use. Sides can be solid for thirty inches and then two foot 2” by 1” rabbit wire on top of that is sufficient for most miniatures. If the sides and back are solid and between four and five feet high be sure to have the front open above thirty inches.
Chain link is not a good choice for fencing as it gives and stretches. The average opening of the links is also an ideal size for the miniature to get a foot caught. We like the four foot high sixteen foot long panels like you can buy at the larger home improvement chains. Three metal posts and you have a section of fence in place. A nice feature is that if your space needs change this fence is very easy to move. This is safe economical fencing. There is fence made especially for horse, but this is much more expensive although it is very nice. I would like to have a six to eight foot space separating each paddock but space and economics mean we have common fence between many of our pastures and pens.
If you have a stallion you will need to make some arrangement so that he can be kept separate from the mares when you want. Some stallions are quiet and get along well with geldings or immature stallions in the next pen, but most do not. As they approach the one year mark it is best to separate the boys and girls. Many a two-year old filly has had a baby because no one thought the yearlings were old enough to breed successfully.
FEED and HEALTH CARE
We like a pelleted feed. I would really prefer a 12% but the one we use, Strategy, is 14%. We feed one “niblet corn” can (10oz) of feed in the morning and one at night. We feel our horses do best when fed twice a day and since we feed our show horses at least twice daily this works well for us. Also we have limited pasture so hay and supplemental feeding is essential. If we see a horse is gaining too much we cut them back some. If they are too thin we increase the ration. There are occasions when we feed a particular horse something very different. You must let the condition of the horse be your guide.
Our hay is a well fertilized coastal Bermuda. We want hay that is virtually free of weeds and coarse grasses. We hay all of our horses twice a day. One and one half bales takes care of sixty horses and twenty miniature goats. Someone can always tell you where to get cheaper hay but buy with care. Several years ago we bought some “cheaper” hay that had a lot of coarse stems. Our vet bill for colic quickly made it the most expensive hay we had ever bought. Fortunately we found someone with cows to buy it from us so we didn’t loose all our money.
Our feeding method makes it very easy for someone to feed our horses when we are at a show. Everybody gets one can except mares with babies who get one can for the mare and one for the baby. Since we are usually only away for two days, there is little danger in over-feeding or under-feeding in that length of time.
Miniature horses need all of the same vaccinations as the full size horses. This shouldbe done on the same schedule as for the full size guys. Paste worming is done every sixty days for full yearlings and up. We worm weanlings every four to six weeks. A fecal sample taken to the vets every couple of months will let you know if your worming program is working. People who use the continuous wormer really like it. We tried it a few years ago and were not real happy with it especially for the weanlings. Remember you must feed horses individually to use any medication that is put in the feed.
Hoof care and dental care are about the same as for the big guys although I believe that miniatures tend to have more dental problems. Not that there are lots of problems but regular dental care helps keep horses fit and feed costs down.
The miniature horse is just that, a horse in miniature. They are not fragile. A true miniature horse doesn’t have a pony personality. Almost everyone can tell stories about a “mean” pony they knew as a kid. A big horse trainer friend says the nice thing about miniatures is they are smart like ponies, but kind like horses. Intelligence and temperament are hereditary. When you visit a farm look at how the other horses act. The one you are buying will probably have the same characteristics.

P.S. My nigerian goats have china blue eyes.
Most breeders feed a 16% - 18% protein dairy goat feed or dairy ration. The feed must not contain urea as this is toxic to goats. Appropriate feed is easy to obtain in suburban and rural areas. The quantity of grain feed is in proportion to the stage of growth for the goat. Free choice hay or pasture should always be available. Fresh clean water in clean containers and mineral salts should also be available at all times.
Regular hoof trimming should be done about every 4 - 6 weeks. A correctly trimmed hoof should have the same shape as a kid's hoof.
Annual vaccinations recommended by your veterinarian for your local area should be administered to keep your goat healthy and in top shape.
Worming should be done several times a year. Your veterinarian can show you what to use, and help in setting up a schedule for your herd.
Goats should be housed in clean, damp free shelters, not air-tight buildings; they also need to be well ventilated. A 4 x 4 foot enclosed shelter per goat is adequate.
Goats need access to an exercise yard of at least 250 square feet per goat.
Pests like flies and rodents need to be under control.

Nigerian dwarf goats are dairy goats.
P.S. My pygmy goats' are brown.
Food for Pygmy goats includes:
Grains that can be fed such as oats, corn, goat ration and sweet feed. It is important to include goat ration and sweet feed to ensure that the goats get the vitamins and minerals they need. Each Pygmy goat should be fed ¼ cup of grain twice daily. Grain should be fed in a trough off the ground to prevent the grain from being soiled by the goats.
Forage that can be fed includes alfalfa hay and grass hay. Feeding alfalfa hay is important for the roughage and calcium that it provides and grass hay is an excellent source of roughage and vitamin A. It is important to feed hay in a hay trough located off the ground where it cannot be soiled by the goats. A mineral/salt block should also be available to the goats and should be off the ground as well.
Water is important for the health of Pygmy goats.
Water should be available at all times. It should be kept clean as possible, and changed when needed. It should be in a bucket, located off the ground, but within reach for the smallest goats in the herd.
Shelter for Pygmy goats can be anything from open pasture to barn stalls. Requirements that best suit Pygmy goats are:
A structure that keeps the goats out of the sun, wind, rain and cold.
A pasture that provides good forbs and browse, and plants such as dandelions, clover or brushes and vines, not just grasses. The type of fencing used is important also. It is best to use 48" cattle wire, because it is stronger and will last longer than other types of wire.
Other care that Pygmy goats need will be:
Vaccinations, such as the 3-way goat vaccination that covers type C & D Perfringens of Enterotoxemia and Tetanus, should be given annually.
Wormers, such as Ivermectine and Panacur, should be given every 3-4 months. Pygmy goats will need their hooves trimmed every 2 months or so.
Pygmy goats are very enjoyable to watch, especially the kids and young does and bucks. They enjoy playing, like any goat, so keeping them entertained is somewhat important. In order to do this, place a picnic table with benches in their pen and watch them pretend it is a mountain as they jump back and forth on it. They also enjoy rocks and boulders that are large enough for them to climb on and jump off. These items will keep them entertained for hours, and usually anyone who is watching them as well.

Pygmy goats are meat goats.
Dogs and humans have been best friends for long. While dogs give unconditional love, loyalty and friendship to their owners, we are responsible for their proper care, food and water, shelter, safety, regular veterinary care and exercise. Here are some tips to take good care of your dogs:
*Collar your dog and attach an ID to it with the dog's name, your name, address, and telephone number. These tags are a great help when a dog gets lost to take him safely back to his home.
*Legal requirements for adopting the dog and obtaining tags are quite essential. Get your dogs vaccinated against rabies and other diseases at the correct time.
*A valid-license and a rabies and ID tag does not mean that you can let your dog roam freely anywhere. Once off your property, the dog must always be on leash.
*Proper shelter for a dog may include a fence yard and a doghouse for large and active dogs. However, most dogs crave for companionship and do not like to be alone for long periods of time outside the home. The family should spend some time with him too.
*Regular veterinarian check-ups will keep your dog healthy.
*If you do not want to breed the dog, get it neutered, which is just a routine surgery. It helps your dog to live longer, be healthier and have fewer behavior problems.
*A nutritionally balanced diet with constant access to fresh water is as good for your dog, as it is for you.
*Trained dogs behave better and share greater bonding with their owners. Use positive reinforcement training techniques to train the dog.
*Walk your dog twice a day to exercise your dog and keep him physically fit. However, the level of exercise depends on the breed and age of the dog.
*Be as loyal and faithful to your canine as you expect him to be to you. Any persistent behavior problems should be brought to the notice of your veterinarian.

During the coronavirus pandemic, some of our regular activities have been temporarily suspended or adjusted to comply with CDC guidelines. But there is some good news. Adoption Days (the second and fourth Sundays of the month) at our Columbia, Maryland, headquarters have been reinstated for vetted adopters. In addition, grooming at Columbia headquarters is back. An appointment is required for both.
Despite the pandemic, we continue to rescue more abandoned/homeless rabbits, pull rabbits from animal shelters throughout the region, rescue unfortunate rabbits who have been released into the wild, provide foster homes for rabbits awaiting adoption, and accept and review adoption applications. We have many wonderful rabbits waiting to be adopted. We encourage you to view them on Petfinder and submit an adoption application so that we can move them into their forever homes as soon as possible.
Our thanks to everyone for your continued support. Please remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones, including the furry ones.

Mount Olive Township Council will hold a public hearing next Tuesday, July 24 to discuss an ordinance to appropriate $35k for construction of a community dog park.
I'm a cat lover myself, but understand the need for an area where man's best friend can roam freely. Dogs are very social creatures that need to de-stress and play as much as we do. The socialization aspect alone could be the answer to a dogs mental well-being. If that doesn't work, you can always call the dog whisper... Cesar Millan.
The chosen spot is an open field in Turkey Brook Park. It will be approximately 2 acres with dedicated areas for small, large, and disabled dogs. Dog owners who use the park will be required to 'scoop the poop' with the assistance of on-site disposable containers and Pick up bags.
William Cirone, the township animal control officer, is heading up the fundraising efforts and looking for volunteers. If your interested in joining the pack, please give Willie a call (973) 691-0900 ext.7334

Stop Beagle Digging
The Tools Used to Stop Beagle Digging
Trying to stop beagle digging can be a difficult task but may be rewarding for the dog owner if the training is completed successfully. Beagles are a smart, loyal and loving breed of dogs and they make excellent companion to people of any age when trained well. Beagles are commonly trained to be house pets, but they can also be trained to be show dogs or working dogs because of their high intelligence and high capacity to learn new tasks and tricks. By following a few beagle training tips, the learning process can be made quick and easy.
A Leash and Collar Set
There are different training tools that can be used to effectively stop beagle digging and each of these tools can make the training of the dog much easier. The most common training tool that may be used is a dog leash and collar set. The leash and collar helps to control the dog from wandering around and communicate to them where they should go.
The dog leash should never be used as a negative reinforcement during the training to stop beagle digging. The dog should never be punished by jerking or yanking on its leash when it does not want to follow the owner’s direction as these may harm the dog. And constantly hurting the dog will have a negative effect on the dog. It might not want to use the leash and collar again because of its bad experience with it. The dog leash should be used for gentle coaxing and careful maneuvering of the dog into a more suitable position. It also provides the dog with a reminder to focus on the training to stop beagle digging and prevent it from wandering away during the training sessions.
Doggy treats are used by many professional dog trainers as positive reinforcements during training to stop beagle digging because it keeps the dog interested in the training and provides the dog with a reward for accomplishing their task. The owner may also use doggy treats to train their pet to stop beagle digging. These treats should not be given to the dog at any other time of the day so that the dog may look forward to that treat during training and it will learn that paying attention and accomplishing the task will get the precious treat.
There are many commercial doggy treats available in the market that can be used to stop beagle digging. And a trainer has his choice to choose from any of those treats. But a trainer can also use whatever is available in his kitchen like leftover chicken or ham to use as treats which are as enticing and as yummy as those available in the market.
