There are many reasons why dogs are considered to be (hu)man’s best friend. They are joy personified; always pleased to see the members of their pack, and always willing to play, wrestle and snuggle no matter what time of day it is. Dogs encourage us to get out for exercise (sometimes it feels like we’re the ones who need to go walkies!), and numerous scientific studies have shown that petting a dog can reduce stress hormones and bring down blood pressure. No wonder so many Calgary residents have a dog, or two, to keep them company!
The Dangers Of Dog Poop
However, with great power comes great responsibility. Even the smallest dogs require a good level of maintenance from grooming to feeding, and that’s before you get to the worst part of owning a dog: poop clean up. Every dog owner knows that pet waste cleanup is an essential part of caring for their dog, but it’s important to know exactly why to motivate you on those cold or wet days when you really don’t want to go outside. Some of the main reasons to clear up after your dog in Calgary include:
- Pest control – when it comes to poop cleanup, Calgary residents have to do their duty to help manage pests such as rats who absolutely love to feed on the faeces of our canine friends. Leaving dog waste out in your garden for too long is an open invitation to all the neighbourhood pests, and indeed other dogs nearby who will want to come and check out the new local bathroom.
- Care for your garden – most dog owners can tell the patches of their lawn where the dog goes pee most frequently by the yellow grass and dead soil that comes from frequent exposure to dog urine. The same goes for untreated dog waste, which can leach harmful chemicals into your soil if allowed to disintegrate. It can feel strange that we willing put horse, cow and even chicken manure on our soil to actively promote microbial growth and plant fertilisation, but dogs have a carnivorous digestive tract (even if you only serve them dry kibble!) which means that their faeces contains a mix of acidic chemicals that are poisonous to plants and soil.
- Avoiding diseases – finally, if you have young children running around your yard, untreated dog poop represents a huge health hazard for both them and the rest of your family. It’s easy for them to run through the pet waste and then track it into your home. Dog faeces often contains parasites that can be transferred to humans easily and finding every last trace of where your kids walked and touched after coming into contact with dog poop is a long and tedious task. This is even before you find your kids making forts from dried out dog poop in your garden!
Taking Care Of Business
Knowing these reasons for quick dog poop clean up can help get you motivated even when you’re tired or the weather outside is frightful. Fortunately, there are a few strategies for pet waste removal Calgary residents can use to keep their garden clean:
- Follow your dog – the most time consuming way of dealing with your dog poop cleanup is to follow them around with a pooper scooper when you take them outside to go to the bathroom. This is the one sure fire way to make sure you get all the poop removed, but you’ll also need to buy some dog poop granules for those times when things get a little wet.
- Train your dog – a more time intensive dog poop clean up strategy is to section off an area of your yard that your dog will learn to use for their toilet trips. A good place to start with finding the location is to watch where your dog goes most frequently when left to their own devices, and making a fenced in area then. Putting up a fence gives your dog a visual clue about where to poop, as well as creating a barrier to pests, other dogs and your kids. You can then head out once your dog is done to clean up.
- Get professional help – if both of those still sound like a lot of work, then you’ll want to think about signing up with our dog waste removal services. Scoop Cut ‘N’ Shovel has a team of dedicated dog waste experts who will come to your house and clean up everything. This service is great if you’ve just moved into a house with a lot of old poop outside, or if you struggle to keep on top of your pet waste situation.

At a basic level, we’ll come to your home as a one time service to completely clear your yard of dog poop and give you and your family a fresh start. For a longer term solution try our weekly services where we’ll come to your house every seven days and keep everything clean for you.

This gives you access to our expert lawn care team, as well as spring and fall cleanups for your entire yard.

Much has been written and spoken about the value of having pets in the home. So why are pets good for your health?
For example, in some cases having a pet in the home can actually help a child from developing some allergies and develop stronger immune systems.
When a child is brought up with pets, it is less likely they will develop allergies to animals. As they grow up they will have more self-confidence and a better self-image because of the responsibilities they are given with feeding, caring for and playing with their pets. They will be a more compassionate and caring person.
A pet can help improve your socialization skills as you meet and interact with other pet owners. You may meet others at training classes where others are trying to train their pet with the same parenting skills or you may interact with others at a dog park.
Pet owners enjoy sharing information about their pets good or bad. So if you are shy, share your pets stories with others and you will find how other pet owners or lover of pets will listen and begin a conversation sharing their information that may be similar or even more hilarious than yours.
This is also a good way to meet others of the opposite sex.
The National institute of Health has conducted heart-related studies and the findings show that pet owners had decreased blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels which can minimize the risk of a heart attack.
Hugging an animal and even petting them helps calm you. They are warm, soft and responds to your affection which calms your nerves and makes you feel relaxed.
Watch fish in an aquarium and you will find peace and serenity as the fish swim silently back and forth up and down. Your anxieties developed during your difficult and busy day will be lessened and you’ll enjoy your evening better with your loved ones and friends.
Dog owners are able to walk, run, jog, bike, hike with their canine friend which are exercises that can help you stay fit. It’s so much better exercising with a friend as a dog or as some people do with their pig, or cat.
Have you seen people train their pets to ride on their motorcycle or even train them on surfboards? What fine companions, and it makes exercising more fun. The time will go by much quicker.
When you are feeling depressed or lonely, a pet may give you that feeling of joy and happiness, especially if you are sick and elderly. Pets sometimes do funny antics and you’ll have someone to talk to instead of being home alone.
You can complain and curse and they won’t walk away from you and tell you to stop complaining. They sit and listen and don’t judge what you are saying. They take away that loneliness because they are faithful and loyal to you always there.
Dogs and even some cats are good at keeping you safe as they warn you of intruders and even dangers in the house. Best of all you don’t even have to live in a house and they will still love you.
There are so many reasons pets are useful animals in helping humans remain healthy. So if a person is not already allergic to the pet fur and does not have a pet, go out and adopt a cat, dog, fish, rabbit or whatever animal that may appeal to you.
Out there is an animal that may help make you live longer, feel euphoric, and become a better person.
There are many animals in the animal shelters that are waiting to be adopted who can help you solve some of your health problems. Go out there today and make a pet happy and yourself healthier.
Tell us about how your pet or pets help you.

It's time to start running with your dog
A terrific way to strengthen your relationship and get your daily exercise is to go for a run with your dog. Although it may be tempting to simply head outside and start running, there are a few things to consider before you hit the street. In this post, we'll go over all you need to know to work out with a friend safely and enjoyably.
MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING WITH YOU
Before leaving, make sure your dog wants to run with you and has the ability to do so because not all dogs are made to run.
Even at the slowest speed, some tiny breeds with short legs, such as Corgis and Dachshunds, should not be used for running. A dog that isn't meant for running might suffer severe injuries and sometimes do more harm than good when you take them for a jog. Other breeds, usually larger dogs like Retrievers and Labradors, which love to run, make excellent jogging partners.
Make sure your dog is fit and healthy before you start jogging, since some dogs may have hereditary or joint issues that make it inappropriate.
YOUR DOG MUST BE TRAINED
You shouldn't go running with dogs who are untrained or unable to obey orders. This serves to ensure both your safety and the safety of other runners and walkers in the area. How well your dog obeys your orders will tell you if they are ready to start running with you. You shouldn't take them jogging if they can't obey instructions without rewards or other types of coercion, simply in case you need to use them in an emergency. You can start by training your dog to follow commands by using the Command Clicker, Track n' Train Long Leash, and SnakPak to reward good behaviour.
PLAN EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE
Running with your dog entails a little bit more preparation than normal. With a dog by your side, you'll want to plan a route that is dog friendly and have all the right products. You will want to have good running products, such as the Express Harness, which allows free range of movement for the dog. The Road Runner Leash is great as it has an adjustable waste belt so you can run hands free and zero shock technology so you do not feel those sudden jolts when your dog pulls away. Do not forget to attach some Login Poop Bags incase of an emergency.
If you're planning a long run, it's also a good idea to consider stops where your dog can receive a drink to keep you both from getting exhausted. It's a good idea to keep the Leaf Bottle Pro Filled up and in your car in case you can't find any water stops. Avoiding congested areas is also advisable because it might be challenging to stop and start at intersections with a dog. Running with a dog down a track or on a beach is also far safer than doing it on a busy road.
WHY RUNNING WITH YOUR DOG IS SO GOOD
Even though it's crucial to keep the previously mentioned in mind before you start jogging with your dog, there are so many advantages to running that it's a fantastic activity to pick up. It keeps both you and your dog fit, happy, and healthy.


Way back in 2011, Julia expressed her desire to have a pet. She would take any animal we'd give her, she just wanted a pet. Honestly, I think she wanted a pet so she could say she had one when they talked about them at preschool. In December, Santa worked his magic, and a betta fish came to join our family. We named him Winston.
Winston has been a silent but strong member of our family. He lived through two moves and even, at times, neglect, in the form of the murkiest water I've ever seen. He spent countless hours in his rainbow cave, and was the champion of calm living. The girls were sure to include him in drawings of our family. I know he was a fish, and thus our physical interaction with him was limited, but we all loved him.
It is with great sorrow that I must announce that Winston passed away this weekend. He died sometime Friday night/Saturday morning. Clark had high hopes that his Good Friday death would foretell an Easter Sunday resurrection, but that was not to be. We said a few words, shed a few tears, and sent him to a watery grave. Julia was particularly heartbroken. She couldn't bear to watch the send off, and instead cried on the stairs. She feels things deeply, that one. Ella, on the other hand, wanted to see "dead Winston" and laughed at the idea of flushing him down the toilet. My daughters look alike but act so differently.
Perhaps one day we'll move on and find a new fish, but for now we are content to hold on to the memories of Winston and mourn our loss.
(I know it might seem a little ridiculous, but I really am quite sad that he's gone. I see his empty fishbowl and want to cry.)

Personality: This little Simon is quite the people pleaser! He is very laid back and yet loves to be in the middle of the fun puppy pile. He is quick to follow his litter mates into whatever they are up too and will most likely be easy to train and wanting to please YOU! Don’t let the purple collar fool you...this little boy is a charmer.
P.S – Mr. Purple Collar (Simon) is the only male Chocolate in this litter. His chocolate color will most likely fade into more of a mocha with highlights and lighten up. My son named him Simon and I have no idea where his inspiration came from…but totally feel free to change to something more of your liking. He will be available to go home July 8th, 2019.

Yesterday Bailey wanted to go outside, so away we went. I let her loose to do her job, she went around the yard then came back to me. She sat by me and looked up to get some loving so of course I loved on her. I said Bailey didn't you have to potty? She got up like she was ready to go in, I grabed the leash and she went the other way. She walked me around her favorite spots. First to the fence to check on the neighbor kids just in case they were there, they weren't. So she took me around the swings, then the took of and did her job.
I guess she just wanted to share with me her favorite spots.
She made me feel very special. I know it sounds strange but she acted just like a child would when they want to show you something special.
She is so loving, and seems to know when I need a hug.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Your Dog
You might be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't created for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think of the fact your pooch is very likely to roll in the garbage, get into a tangle with a skunk, get fleas or ticks, get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes apparent why you have to have coat products that are manufactured to handle these troubles. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper components to de-scent, repair dryness, or deal with unwanted hitchhikers. We at Bark N Scratch Outpost sell a full range of dog grooming products that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking excellent.
Use the Appropriate Brushes and Combs for Your Dog's Coat
Dog coats come in a variety of textures with hair follicles varying from pin straight to tight curls. Some dogs grow dense undercoats while others have nearly no undercoat at all. All coats require using the right kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and stop skin harm. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our pros at Bark N Scratch Outpost in Milwaukee Drop in or give us a call at (414) 444-4110 number] to discuss the kind of coat and particular issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.

The story of Harvest, the dog with crazy eyes.
In the fall of 2008 three young black Lab-mix dogs were dropped off at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley near Hailey. The person who left them said they had been found by the side of a road. The terrified puppies sat in the back of their cage shaking, and recoiling from being touched. Without knowledge of the dogs' history, shelter employees couldn't tell whether their behavior was the result of mistreatment or heredity.
The shelter is a no-kill facility, which means no dog or cat is killed to make space. However, no animal deemed a threat to people is put up for adoption. Dogs of suspect temperament are put through a series of tests. How do they react to handling? How protective are they of food? Are they willing to play? How do they react to strangers?
Two of the newly arrived dogs failed the tests and were euthanized. The third, a female, squeaked by, and was given a chance for adoption. Due to the time of her arrival, she was named Harvest. She was a medium-size dog, mostly black with a white chest and white spots on two of her paws.
Shelter employees tried to socialize her by taking her outside and playing with her, but her temperament showed little improvement. She relaxed some with the few people who handled her regularly, but remained terrified of the world, and cowered in a corner of her kennel whenever potential adopters made the rounds. Not surprisingly, she was never chosen.
To help improve the chances of adoption for problem animals, the shelter has created a foster program. Volunteers take a dog or cat home temporarily or out for regular activities like hikes, giving the animals more socialization and shelter employees a chance to evaluate them in a more natural setting. But it wasn't doing much for Harvest. She refused to go out with most volunteers, and for the next two years spent most of each day in her kennel.
In fall 2010, a shelter employee called one of their volunteers, Isabelle Moore (also my wife), and asked her if she'd like to work with Harvest. Working with either animals or children, Isabelle has sought out the most challenging subjects. As a children's ski instructor at Dollar Mountain, she took the beginning skiers who had fallen behind and got them to the point that they could ride the lift. She now tutors special education students at Hemingway Elementary School.
When Isabelle heard from the shelter, she had just finished fostering another black-Lab mix named Jimmy, who had had fear issues similar to Harvest's. After about a year of Isabelle's adoring attention, Jimmy finally met a potential adopter who saw through his shyness, and he found a home. Now Isabelle faced an even bigger challenge. "When I first saw Harvest, she just cringed in the back of her kennel, looking at me with crazy eyes," Isabelle said.
On the shelter property is a little house with furniture in it to mimic a home setting. Isabelle and Harvest were left there to get acquainted. Harvest cautiously walked up to Isabelle and sniffed her hand. "You could tell she wanted to trust," Isabelle said. "But after about 10 minutes, she stood in front of the door as if to say, 'OK, that's enough.'"
By Isabelle's fourth visit, Harvest had warmed up to her. While the two were in the shelter office, Isabelle said, "She jumped on me and kissed me, and everyone was amazed. So I took her on a hike and since then I became her friend."
For the remainder of the fall and through the winter, Isabelle took Harvest on regular hikes and snowshoe trips. Harvest began to show signs of enjoying life. She loved to run fast through the snow, especially when she had found a big branch to drag with her. Tearing downhill, she mowed down any little trees along the trail, and would have taken out Isabelle, too, if she hadn't learned to jump out of the way. Harvest was acting less intimidated by other people on the trail—now she just trotted by instead of taking a big detour around them.
Eventually, Isabelle took Harvest home for weekends. By this time, Harvest had become devoted to her. If Isabelle went upstairs, Harvest went upstairs. When Isabelle went downstairs, Harvest went downstairs. When Isabelle sat at our desk working on the computer, Harvest lay quietly at her feet. For perhaps the first time in her life, she seemed content.
But when Isabelle left the condo for any reason, Harvest became frantic. She ran from window to window, to see where Isabelle had gone. She couldn't be calmed until Isabelle returned.
We talked about adopting her, but decided that with both of us spending most of the day at work and living in a condo it wouldn't be a good idea.
When spring came, I took Harvest and her kennel mate, Murphy, out for mountain bike rides at Lamb's Gulch, not far from the animal shelter. The two were the shelter's most long-term residents, both having lived there for more than two years. Murphy's a good-natured and goofy-looking dog—mostly white with big brown spots and brown freckles on his face. His hind half looks about one size too small for his front half, like a man wearing pants that are too short. Whenever Murphy went snarfling around in the woods, he always took the direct route, crashing through the underbrush toward whatever goal he'd set his mind to.
One day the three of us came across a trail-building crew in Democrat Gulch, and I stopped to compliment them on their work. One of the crewmembers asked about the dogs. I told him they lived at the shelter, and I was taking them out for exercise. He said he used to take dogs out from a shelter in the town where he went to college. Unlike the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, however, that one was not a no-kill shelter. He said he discontinued his visits after arriving at the shelter one too many times to hear that the dog he had befriended had been replaced by a new arrival.
As we talked, Harvest and Murphy cooled themselves in a creek by the trail. While Harvest sat primly in the water, panting softly, Murphy wallowed in the mud at the edge of the creek. The young man looked on approvingly. "Now that's my kind of dog," he said.
Harvest got accustomed to mountain biking right away, waiting for me to ride by, then falling in and trotting along behind. The more rides we went on, the more relaxed Harvest became when we met other people on the trail. Pretty soon she was wagging her tail, playing with the other dogs and even submitting to being petted by their owners. She developed proper trail etiquette almost immediately, stepping off to the side to let other bikers go by. "Wow, what a great biking dog," said one woman in Greenhorn Gulch. I was starting to feel confident that Harvest was well on her way to being adopted.
Sometimes I took Harvest out for a bike ride on Wednesday mornings, when most of the other dogs were up at Adams Gulch for the weekly Hikin' Buddies walks. When she returned to her kennel, she always got a loving reception from Murphy, who greeted her with multiple licks on the face.
For Murphy, who had spent the first few years of his life at the end of a chain, life at the shelter was a step up—he got regular walks and attention from lots of humans. He always appeared content to return home after a bike ride. But Harvest dreaded going back to her kennel, balking stubbornly as a shelter employee tried to push her through the door. Harvest's kennel was at the entrance to the shelter property, and looking in the rearview mirror as I drove away, I would always see her staring at the car until it disappeared down the road.
One day on a hike in Adams Gulch, Harvest exhibited an ominous behavior. She ran ahead of us to a couple hiking farther down the trail and barked at them from behind, startling them. Then she ran back to us, with a sort of "hee-hee-look-what-I-just-did" attitude. Over the next couple of weeks on hikes with Isabelle, she repeated that performance twice.
Not long after, when I was at work, I got a phone call from Isabelle. She tearfully told me that Harvest had been on a walk that morning with a shelter employee and a volunteer. As they passed a jogger coming the other way, Harvest suddenly ran across the road and nipped the woman on the back of her thigh. Harvest appeared to be heading back for another bite when the volunteer grabbed her.
It seemed that Harvest was trying to overcome her fear of people by demonstrating that she could make them scared of her, but whatever the motive, she had committed the unforgivable canine sin—becoming a threat to humans. She would now bear the consequences of her act.
About noon the next day, shelter executive director Jo-anne Dixon, along with the shelter's manager and its veterinary technician, led Harvest to a spot on the grass under some trees behind the shelter. Harvest lay down in the shade, and the three women petted her and talked to her calmly. She hardly reacted to the poke of the syringe. A minute later, her eyes were staring blankly into space. One of the women gently closed her eyelids.
"It may have been the right thing for that dog," Jo-anne told me. "She was suffering in her own way—life was just too much for her."
For the next couple of weeks, Isabelle went on hikes by herself, tracing the routes she and Harvest had walked together. She left little bouquets of dried flowers at the hilltops where the two of them had sat taking in the views. Despite the heartbreak of seeing Harvest come so close to success, then fall back, Isabelle said she was glad to have spent so much time with her. "If I hadn't volunteered, she wouldn't have received any love, because nobody looked at her. She was weird."
As the weeks passed, the death of a dog settled into a more appropriate place in our view of the world's tragedies. Isabelle took on another foster dog—a beautiful, reddish-brown Doberman mix named Mimi. In two weeks, Mimi was adopted.
Murphy has a new kennel mate now. She's a light-brown boxer-chow chow mix named Molly. They seem comfortable together. I haven't seen Murphy lick her face yet, but, as everyone knows, relationships take time.
Editor's note: Since this story was written, Murphy was adopted.
Murphy, Harvest's kennel-mate.
A Home for Life
In its 30 years of existence, the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley has found homes for more than 10,000 dogs and cats.
"Animal shelters have evolved over the past eight or 10 years," shelter Executive Director Jo-anne Dixon said. She said shelters now have more health care and better housing, and are more likely to adopt a no-kill policy. But with a constant stream of animals coming in, managers at the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley face a challenge in maintaining the shelter's no-kill policy. They have created several programs to help them meet that challenge.
One of the most important is a foster program, under which volunteers take home "special-needs" animals to put them in a more natural and relaxed setting. The program allows shelter employees to more accurately evaluate animals and can help calm animals who arrive at the shelter feeling overwhelmed and scared. "The foster program is a very important part of the more humane system," Dixon said.
Another program pairs dogs with inmates at a juvenile detention center in Snoqualmie, Washington. Each gets one hyperactive dog to train for two months. "It's a perfect match," Dixon said. "Some of these kids have never experienced unconditional love."
Some dogs that arrive at the shelter and show an obsession with chasing tennis balls are deemed too much for most owners to handle. But the shelter sends those dogs to a couple in Emmett, Idaho, who train them for use by police or fire departments.
Dixon said shelter managers are constantly looking for new ways to get abandoned animals into homes—"whatever creative venue we can come up with to keep the shelter from overflowing."
The shelter advertises available animals on its website, and in the Idaho Mountain Express newspaper.


I’m looking for an assistance dog. How can I get a dog from Assistance Dogs Europe?
Assistance Dogs Europe does not provide or train dogs. It is an organisation made up of individual programs that train dogs. Click on European schools to locate a school that may be able to train a dog for you.
How long does it take to train an assistance dog?
Dogs won’t be placed before they are about 18 months in age. There is no exact set time for training an assistance dog once they have completed their early socialization, but assistance dog programs will have very clear training plans for every dog. In general, adult dogs will undergo specific training (obedience, task work etcetera) for a period of around 6 months before they are matched with their future owner.

Celina Jaitley is a PETA activist not just for the sake of it. She actually is into pet indulgence. She has many canine pets at her home. But latest breed to add to her lot is Tea-Cup, which is a cute and small puppy.
It seems to be true in the case of the much-single actress Celina Jaitley, who has made another addition to her brood of pets. Celina has been a pet lover since her childhood. And for last few years she has kept two dogs - a cocker spaniel named 'Heineken', and a terrier named 'Tea Cup' who, in Celina's words, looks more like a fox than a dog.

|Oliver 'Ollie' Twist|
At this time of year I am reminded of my rescued pet, a cat I named Ollie, who came in to my life 16 years ago. It still chokes me up inside to think he came to me on the very same day I received the sad news of my grandmother Freda's passing. Still with us today, Ollie has been called all sorts of funny nicknames and every year he is given his very own Christmas stocking filled with new cat toys, an expensive cat food collection, and lots of wrapping paper and plastic bags (Don't ask!). I couldn't imagine my life, my home, my family, without him in it.
The RSPCA annual reports show an alarming amount of pets, given as Christmas presents, abandoned in January each year. This number is on the rise, and the message still doesn't seem to get through. Please don't give pets as Christmas presents!! Ollie was a Christmas present for somebody who, in turn, left him abandoned in a cardboard box on a busy roadside. My friend at the time, was walking up this road to take her baby for a walk in the pram and heard meowling coming from the box. When she opened it, she found a under-fed flea-ridden kitten inside.
Pets have always played a key role in my life, since very early childhood. My first family pet was a Labrador called Sandy when I was a baby and my parents lived in Bungay. Then came a cat, another Labrador, another cat, a greyhound, two goldfish and two budgerigars, and yet another cat (but she was technically my mother's cat). I was given a kitten for my birthday one year. He was a fiesty black and white kitten I named Sebastian. Five years later, Ollie came into my life. I did have a Jack Russell terrier named Tsar but he proved to be too much of a handful so, eventually, he was adopted into a new home (with a more patient owner!).
My family have always been animal lovers and many photographs show a dog or cat sitting proudly on the lap, in the arms of, or by the side, of their proud owners. Growing up my father had a black cat, found amongst the dust at the Beccles Maltings which my grandfather brought home as a kitten and was subsequently named Dusty. My mother had a dog named Rover who was brought home from a nearby village after being mistreated by its original owner. My grandmother Lilian had a Jack Russell terrier (read my blog written exclusively about her. Lilian that is, not the dog!) she named Russ. My great-grandfather had a terrier which he took everywhere (including hunting) with him. My ancestors had dogs, cats, canaries, chickens, budgerigars and horses.
There is a great sense of pride attached to my family's ownership of pets and there are many stories (or should I say, tales!) which are still told amongst the family today which involve a dog or a cat. I even have a wedding party portrait from 1916 where one of my ancestors is holding a small dog (see below).
I have long been fascinated by pet stories. Faithful companions who grieve when their owners die or disappear under mysterious circumstances. More recently, I have cried buckets over the Australian story of 'Red Dog' or John Grogan's famous newspaper column, turned novel and movie, about his clumsy, neurotic dog Marley. Then there are famous pets of the past, such as Dewey the library cat, Casper the commuting cat, Greyfriars Bobby, and come on, let's not forget Lassie. What has intrigued me is the large amount of notable rescue dogs and war dogs, in particular, those that are gifted with psychic abilities.
I read Michael Streeter's Psychic Pets with relish last year, during a period of research for my novel. I was struck by three accounts contained within Streeter's 2004 collection of true-life psychic pet stories. Bob, the collie dog, whose owner Roy was called up to fight for his country in World War One. Bob became increasingly morose in Roy's absence until one day he began howling and whining inconsolably. Four days later Roy's wife received the news that Roy had been killed in action.
A British Naval Officer (name unknown) had a pet Airedale dog who always went to the quayside to say goodbye to the young officer who was, at the time, serving on board a minesweeper. One day the Airedale became agitated and behaved strangely and the naval officer could not leave the quayside without having his uniform repeatedly grabbed by the dog. That same night, the Airedale suddenly began a piteous wailing and later, the officer's wife learned that the ship had been lost at sea that night.
The last story I want to share with you is about a grey tabby stray cat in Germany during World War Two who was befriended by a middle-aged German man who would pet the cat whenever he saw it near his workplace. One morning in 1944, the man was at home shaving when he heard loud meowing and opened the door to find the stray cat there. The cat would not stop meowing and scratching at the man's trousers until eventually, thinking the cat was trying to tell him something, they left the house together and walked the streets. After about a half mile the cat suddenly stopped walking and the now puzzled man, looked up to see RAF Lancaster bombers overhead. The man looked on in horror as the first of the bombs dropped, obliterating a row of houses, including his. The stray cat had saved his life.

Woof Wednesdays at the Animal Defense League
by Celia Hayes
... At the Animal Defense League; every Wednesday until the end of this month, the adoption fees for dogs over the age of puppy are reduced ... which is a very generous concession indeed, considering that the dogs available have been spayed or neutered, chipped, and up to date on things like rabies vaccinations and heartworm medication. We are not in any particular need of another dog at present, as the pair that we have are completely satisfactory, fairly young and in good health. But if we were looking for another dog, and the fates that dictate these matters didn't present us with a suitable candidate straight off the streets of our own San Antonio neighborhood (as was the story with Connor, who was found running loose, and the charming little Pom, also found running loose) we would certainly consider adopting from the Animal Defense League. They have a sprawling compound off Nacogdoches Road, near the Wurzbach Expressway; a dozen buildings, an animal hospital facility, and a large area set up as a dog park.
So, hearing about this – and my daughter also heard that there is a thrift shop involved – we decided to stop by the place and actually go inside, and see if I could take some cute pictures of the cats and dogs and do a blog post about it. I had only been driving past the place for nearly fifteen years, so it was about time. We did explain that we weren't interested so much in adoption, as we were encouraging other people to do so. The management in the adoption center were perfectly amenable to this, so we circled through two of the small dog buildings ... but first, my daughter had to look at the kittens. There is nothing cuter than a basket of kittens, and there were some terribly appealing ones on hand in the so-called 'Kitten Room'- including a little all-black one suitably named "Salem" who kept reaching out with his paw through the wire as I was taking pictures of the infant flame-point Siamese brother and sister in the adjacent cage. "Me!" it was as if he was commanding, "Me! Pay attention to me!"
Anyway – on to the small dogs and puppies; there were not very many puppies. The uncrowned king of the puppy area was a small poodle, who was introduced to us as "Patriot" – a special, special-needs dog. Patriot is almost nine years old, and completely blind. In spite of that, he is friendly and outgoing. He gets around all right, but absolutely hates the confinement of the cage. He is actually most content, sitting in a lap or in a basket by a chair – and appears also to be allergic to grass. He'd be a perfect pet for someone working from home in a small place; his demand for walkies would be absolutely minimal.
Then we walked around to a larger building housing a number of small to medium dogs, and the attendant suggested that if we wanted to get some good pictures, just tell her which dog took our fancy. We could go out into the dog park area, and get some good pictures. Our interest alighted on a medium-small tan-colored dog named "Piglet" mostly because of her pleading eyes, and the way her ears stuck out to the sides of her head. Piglet is half Chihuahua ... and pit bull. However that worked out, the mating itself must have been comic to behold. In any case, it resulted in a sweet-tempered and appealing little dog, which came along readily on the leash. She was described as being rather shy, but we didn't find her so. My daughter is still rather surprised that she didn't wind up coming hope with us anyway. So – that was our Wednesday. And if you are considering adding a dog to your family, consider the Animal Defense League. On Wednesday or any other day.


Booking a Pet Friendly Holiday
Britain has a reputation for being a nation of animal lovers. So it may come as no surprise to find out that many Britons choose to holiday with their pets, both at home and abroad.
Holidaying with an animal can be easy or it can be incredibly difficult – it all depends on where you go and what kind of temperament your pet has. It also depends on what type of pet you have, as different creatures exhibit vastly different behaviours and requirements.
Deciding Whether to Take Your Pet on Holiday
If you’re trying to figure out whether or not you can bring your pet on holiday with you, the first thing you should do is figure out who this would benefit. Not all animals like to travel and some can become almost unbearable stressed when forced to do so. Some animals – such as hamsters or lizards – may not even notice if you went away for a couple of weeks, as long as you left them in capable hands during that time. Even cats, who can be just as sociable (if not more so) as dogs, have a tendency to not take well to enforced travel and unfamiliar environments. So before you decide whether or not to take your pet on holiday, make sure your decision to do so – or not – will be in their best interests.
Finding Pet Friendly Accommodation
When booking your pet friendly holiday you will need to take into account whether or not your accommodation will be suitable for an animal. There are many dog friendly holiday cottages & holidays to choose from within the UK and abroad, but not as many which would be suitable for exotic animals such as birds.
The best way to find out if your accommodation will accept animals is to speak to them directly. Give them all the details of your pet – its age, health and temperament – and make sure they know exactly when you’ll be coming and for how long. Some hotels allow pets during off seasons but not during the busy summer months, so make sure you check in advance before booking.
Travelling Abroad with a Pet
Going abroad with a pet requires some serious organisation and should never be undertaken lightly. The UK has a Pet Travel Scheme which allows dogs, cats and ferrets to enter and re-enter the UK from anywhere in the world, providing the criteria of the Scheme are met. If they are not, your pet could face a long spell in quarantine. For your pet’s benefit, make sure you’re acquainted with the scheme before you decide to travel.

We have a couple of German shorthaired pointer pups 4 months old. They are enthusiastic, energetic and a bit bitey in the way pups are. They are lovely and won’t hurt you but they might enthusiastically nip you or scratch you with their sharp little puppy claws – both of which are completely unacceptable behaviours. As dog owners we fully understand we have to teach these pups good manners and acceptable behaviours – dogs should be controlled by their owners not the other way round (although sometimes it’s hard not to be coerced by them). Running free is a luxury we have as we have fields and we let them run loose – would I do it in public? not until their manners are excellent and we have sorted out their recall, neither of which we have achieved yet – dogs jumping and barking at strangers in public places counts as an out of control dog in my book – there are no excuses the owner is responsible not the victim. If they do it to people my guess is they’ll do it to livestock and that only ends with tragic results.February 2, 2018 at 11:30 am #876
I agree dog owners need to take more responsibility for their dogs.
I’ve been attacked quite a few times now. One was by a neighbour’s dog who I had walked near to for many years speaking to the owners with it running about when I was out walking. One day though it went for me and bit into both my legs. Apparently, with hindsight the owners think it had decided the walking area was an extension of its garden and so was defending the owner’s property.
Unfortunately went on to attack another two folk who were just near it’s house, but the local dog warden and the police are not taking any action which I do not understand. Years on I still look over my shoulder when I hear his growl/bark to see if he is out running.
Should I change my walking area? If so that is all the local off road areas I walk/cycle as most dogs are routinely walked off lead around me. Most are little or no problem though a few are a nuisance when they jump up and dirty your trousers for example.
Some owners though are not interested in controlling their dog(s) as they perceive that no harm is being done. Change how I respond – sure have and am now more defensive and assume that any snarling running dog may bite and so prepared to defend myself. Reduces the enjoyment of a walk in the countryside though even if the dog is friendly overall.
When an owner gets all defensive though (I have even been threatened by an owner as it was his view that it was my fault for being there on a public track when his dog tried to nip my ankles) it really spoils my trip out.February 2, 2018 at 11:31 am #877
Let’s flip this on its head slightly….
When walking in the woods or anywhere ‘open’, I see kids or another dog on a lead, I whistle Lily (a sprocker spaniel, smaller than ANY child), she comes back, goes on the lead. She’s fine and is happy enough there with me. The woods is a natural open environment which is more suited to her, than any human. Yet I put her on a lead so she doesn’t approach anyone that may be worried.
Yet, I walk in an urban (human) environment, in a street or if I need to go past some shops. People THEN think it’s perfectly acceptable to come running up to her waving hands and loudly ‘AWWWW’ing? Luckily, 99% of the time, she’s used to it and likes the attention. But she has got scared before, and cowered under my legs!
Ever since a pup, I’ve gently pulled her tail and played with her food, so I’m 99.9% sure she hasn’t got a nasty bone in her body.
But she is fullt expected (as most of these comments display), to be on a lead and never to approach anybody. YET, it’s perfectly acceptable for people to approach her when she’s on a lead and feeling vulnerable?!
Think about it.February 3, 2018 at 11:06 am #878
What Jenny said – they do get more exercise off-lead, but only a selfish arse doesn’t get their dog under control when required. My dog’s quite reactive to other dogs when she’s on her lead, so I keep her out of the way of other dogs and focus on distracting her, not helped when other dog owners let their dogs bound up to her – at which point she goes bananas and they look really offended. It’s not very helpful. Just because I love my dog, doesn’t mean everyone else has to.
Sadly @nomad, with my dog training hat on, you’re likely reinforcing the behaviour of your dog. Your dog would benefit from socialisation training and positive reinforcement to ignore other dogs while on the lead. Your distraction and concern gives your dog reason to feel something is wrong.
I’m one of the minority that believes it is up to the owner to make sure their dog is well socialised and not up to other owners whose dogs are socialised to assume everyone else’s are not. Sorry. Dogs naturally are social beings. If they can’t handle other dogs… there’s only one reason.February 3, 2018 at 11:07 am #879
Often the reason some dogs cannot be trusted off the lead is simply because they are never allowed off the lead. The key is during puppy hood to try to trust the dog. The more time off the lead (in responsible places) the better. The dog learns that being off lead is the norm and on lead the exception. This combined with recall whistle training done in the correct way and utilised only when necessary (not the classic… FIDO FIDO FIDO COME HERE every five seconds that the dog soon learns to ignore) will make the dog a trustworthy and more enjoyable animal to walk.
I have a whippet. Typically one of the least naturally trustworthy dogs off lead. They are bred to chase. I spent months on her as a puppy. She is fully whistle trained and is fully trained to heel, wait and leave.
It is not easy, and it takes hours of patience. Some dogs require treats every single time the perform a ‘wait’, a recall or any command (Great Dane, Whippet (I have to carry a tin with me)), some are happy to please and easy to train (Labs, Spaniels). The choice of dog you own should be at least in part influenced by how confident you are you can train it.
But when anyone claims a ‘dog cant be trusted off the lead’ I’m afraid my brain flicks to the high probability that that is because the owner has not spent the considerable time and effort to make sure it can. And this is why I think people should be required to go to dog training classes with their dog as well as dog behavioural theory classes before owning a dog.

Marijuana Toxicity in Pets
Ever since recreational marijuana was legalized in Maine earlier this year, we have seen a number of pets affected by marijuana toxicity.
Marijuana ingestion is very common and can cause a variety of clinical signs, including neurological problems (incoordination, stupor, dilated pupils), gastrointestinal issues (vomiting and diarrhea), urinary incontinence, and decreased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature.
Signs can last up to 96 hours post exposure, and can occur with variable levels of ingestion. Other toxins can cause similar signs, so it's important to call your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet is exhibiting these signs or has ingested any form of marijuana.

Ah, the joy of sharing your life with a furry companion! Dogs bring boundless happiness, loyalty, and love to our homes. But, there’s one aspect of canine companionship that can sometimes drive us to the brink of fur-stration (pun intended) – shedding.
If you are looking for cavador puppies for sale, know that they also face seasonal shedding. So you must have information about their peak shedding seasons and the tricks to make it less of a haphazard.
Understanding Canine Shedding
Before we dive into the causes and solutions, let’s unravel the mysteries of shedding itself. Shedding is a perfectly normal process in a dog’s life. Just like trees drop their leaves in autumn, dogs shed their fur as a part of a natural cycle.
The Natural Shedding Cycle
In the world of doggy hair, there’s a rhythm. Typically, spanador puppies for sale have a growth phase followed by a resting phase and then the inevitable shedding phase. This shedding phase helps them get rid of old or damaged fur to make room for new, healthier hair. It’s like Mother Nature’s way of giving them a fresh coat.
Breeds and Shedding: The Connection
Not all dogs shed the same way. Breed plays a significant role in the shedding game. Some breeds are minimal shedders, while others are notorious for leaving a trail of fur in their wake.
Shedding vs. Hair Loss: Knowing the Difference
Understanding whether your dog is shedding or experiencing hair loss is crucial. Shedding is a natural process, while hair loss can be a sign of underlying health issues. Keep an eye out for bald spots, redness, or excessive itching.
Causes of Shedding in Dogs
Now, let’s uncover the reasons why cavador puppies for sale might be shedding more than you’d like.
- The Role of Temperature: Dogs often shed more in the spring and fall when the temperature changes trigger their shedding cycle.
- Sunlight and Shedding: Longer daylight hours can influence shedding patterns. More sun exposure can mean more shedding.
Health and Nutrition
- Nutritional Deficiencies: A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is key. Lack of proper nutrition can lead to poor coat health and increased shedding.
- Skin Conditions: Skin problems, like allergies or infections, can result in excessive shedding. Healthy skin equals a healthy coat.
Genetics and Breed
- Predisposition to Shedding: Some breeds, like Huskies and Retrievers, are genetically predisposed to shedding more.
- Crossbreeds and Shedding: Crossbreed dogs inherit shedding traits from their parent breeds. It can be unpredictable.
Prevention and Management
Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and discuss ways to manage and prevent shedding.
Proper Grooming Techniques
- Brushing: A Key Practice: Regular brushing of cavador puppies for sale removes loose fur and stimulates the skin, promoting a healthier coat.
- Bathing: Less is More: Overbathing can strip natural oils from the skin, leading to more shedding. Stick to a bathing schedule recommended by your vet.
Diet and Nutrition
- The Power of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These fatty acids can work wonders for your dog’s coat. Consult your vet about supplements if needed.
- High-Quality Dog Food: Invest in a premium dog food brand that prioritises skin and coat health.
- Humidity and Indoor Air Quality: Maintaining proper humidity levels in your home can reduce static electricity, which can exacerbate shedding.
- Regular Cleaning and Vacuuming: A clean environment means fewer loose hairs floating around.
The Importance of Vet Visits
Regular vet check-ups for cavador puppies for sale are vital in shedding management.
Annual Check-ups: Your vet can identify health issues early on and provide guidance on coat care.
Health Monitoring: Keep an eye on any sudden changes in your dog’s coat, as it can be a sign of underlying health problems.
Professional Advice: Your vet is your ally in the battle against shedding. Seek their advice on diet, grooming, and any shedding concerns.
Stress and Shedding
Yes, your dog can get stressed too! Stress can be a significant shedding trigger.
Canine Stress Triggers
- Environmental Changes: Moving, new family members, or changes in routine can stress your dog.
- Separation Anxiety: Being apart from you can cause anxiety, which may lead to shedding.
Stress Reduction Techniques
- Exercise and Play: Regular physical activity can reduce stress and promote overall health.
- Calming Strategies: Consult your vet for tips on soothing your dog’s anxiety.
Shedding Myths Debunked
Let’s clear up some common misconceptions about shedding in cavador puppies for sale.
Shaving the Coat: A Common Misconception: Shaving won’t necessarily reduce shedding and can even lead to sunburn.
Allergies and Shedding: The Real Connection: Allergies can cause skin issues and increased shedding. Addressing allergies can help.
Hormones and Spaying/Neutering: Spaying or neutering can influence shedding patterns, so be prepared for changes.
Tools and Products for Shedding Control
Explore some handy tools and products for managing shedding.
- Shedding Brushes and Combs: Invest in quality grooming tools for your dog’s coat type.
- Deshedding Shampoos: These shampoos can help reduce shedding when used appropriately.
- Air Purifiers for Allergies: If allergies are a concern, an air purifier can help keep your home allergen-free.
Shedding: When to Seek Professional Help
Know when it’s time to involve the experts.
- Excessive or Sudden Shedding: If shedding seems abnormal, consult your vet.
- Skin Irritations and Infections: Redness, itching, or sores may indicate a health issue.
- Behavioural Changes: Excessive shedding accompanied by unusual behaviour warrants professional attention.
Summing the Above
Embrace your dog’s natural beauty, shedding and all. With proper care and attention to their health, you can enjoy a happy, healthy, and less shedding furry friend. So, let the fur fly and the tail wag!

WW Spoiled Girl
DOB: on June 3, 2015
Hi! My name is WW Spoiled Girl. I'm also called Harlow. I would just love to be your special Spoiled Girl. Lemme tell you a little bit about me, okay?
I was born on June 3, 2015. My mama is WW Suzy Berry and my dada is Kiowa Producer. I ran lotsa races, 73 altogether. My trainers think I'm super special, they told my foster mama so. Anyhows, I came to my foster mama's house on April 4th. She has two other girl greyhounds. One of 'em is really old and we mostly ignore each other. The other one's 'round a year older than me and she wants to play. I don't wanna play with her though. I mean, I like her okay and all, I just don't wanna chase her around and shake stuffies, like she does. The point I'm making is, if you got other greyhounds, I'll treat 'em with respect, but don't expect me to be all playful with 'em. My foster mama says she's very impressed by me, which I think is totally appropriate. I am pretty impressive, after all! She thinks it is awesome that I'm already house trained. I know how to go to the back door and roo until she comes to open the door for me. And I know to roo when I am ready to come back in, too. My foster mama has a "dog door," that she wants me to use instead of rooing, so I can do that, too, if it floats your boat. I'm super affectionate and love to give and receive kisses and hugs. Now when it comes to walking on a leash, foster mama says I "need some work," so I'm trying hard to figure out what she means and do it right.
When it comes to small dogs and cats, I have not yet figured out what I think of them. They are super interesting and I'd really like to get closer to see them. Foster Mama says I have to practice "social distancing" for now, though. She is happy that I don't lunge at them, though. She calls me a really good, spoiled girl.

Spring is finally here! Technically, the first day of Spring is March 21st. However, a sure sign that Spring is upon us, are the daffodils and crocus appearing in the garden.
The garden looks beautiful until a dog runs through it. Keeping dogs out of the garden can be a challenge. Sometimes chicken wire and decorative picket fences are necessary to prevent blooming flowers or just planted shrubs from being trampled.
Some pet owners train their dogs to stay in a certain section of their yard. This helps prevent brown spots on the grass and trampled gardens. It also assures dog owners with small children that there is a clean area of the yard for their children to play.
Dogs enjoy being outside and running around in the yard. Electric fences, fenced in yards or dog runs keep dogs safe on a dog owner’s property. Dogs who like to chase rabbits and squirrels can endanger themselves and others if they run loose in the neighborhood and/or street in pursuit of wildlife.
Keeping your dog on your property also prevents issues of neighbors getting upset with dogs pooping or peeing and leaving brown spots on their lawn. Responsible dog owners should have control of their dog at all times.
After work, get outside and enjoy the extra hour of daylight. Dogs who are crated all day will appreciate a long walk. An eco-friendly solution to pick up after your pet is Clean Go Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags. The unscented leak proof bags have quick-tie handles to seal in odors and will naturally decompose after use.
Dog parks are a popular place in the Spring. The temperature is not too hot for your dog to run around for a couple of hours. The Spring rain showers can make the dog park quite muddy, so bring along a towel for a quick clean up before your dog jumps in your car! Old blankets or car seat covers keep the car upholstery free of pet hair, dirt, and moisture.
A little sunshine and exercise does wonders for humans and canines alike! Being outdoors replenishes our energy level. Spring Ahead to a wonderful season of health and happiness!
The days are longer and the temperatures are getting warmer. It’s perfect weather to enjoy a walk in the park with your dog. Joanne Gallagher recommends visiting Jake’s Dog House to equip your dog with nice Dog Sweater for those long walks in the park.

Canine or Pet Inflicted Injuries To Third Parties: Freed v. Bastry
Freed v. Bastry:
Submitted by New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer, Jeffrey Hark
Plaintiff’s and defendant’s dogs were playing with one another one day at a park, when suddenly, defendant’s dog ran into plaintiff while chasing plaintiff’s dog at an off-leash dog area. Defendants’ seven and one-half month-old puppy had not been spayed or neutered as dog park guidelines required. Plaintiff’s dog ran between plaintiff and defendants, defendants’ dog followed, and knocked plaintiff down to the ground. As a result of the fall, plaintiff allegedly suffered a tibial plateau fracture of her right knee and underwent a series of surgeries.
Plaintiff’s expert opined that if defendants’ dog had been neutered, the dog would have “been less aggressive and therefore less likely to have run into the plaintiff’s leg.” Defendants moved for summary judgment and argued that the park guidelines did not create a duty owed by dog owners using the area to others in the off-leash dog area. Therefore, bringing their un-neutered dog to the area breached no duty. Plaintiff asserts the guidelines have the force of a duly enacted statute or regulation, and defendants’ violation of the guidelines is negligence per se or evidence of their negligence because they represent the reciprocal duty users of the area owed to each other. Plaintiff also contends that a reasonable juror could conclude that defendants’ decision to allow their unneutered dog to run in the area was a proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries. The trial judge found that the posted guidelines did not create a duty and noted no one described defendants’ dog’s behavior as aggressive; he was simply running around a dog park. Subsequently, plaintiff appealed the dismissal of her negligence action.
According to precedent, “The owner may be liable if he or she knew or should have known of the dog’s “dangerous or mischievous propensities” because “[p]eople can be injured by playful, as well as mean, dogs.” De Robertis v. Randazzo, 94 N.J. 144, 150 (1983).” A plaintiff who can prove that an owner knew of his dog’s dangerous propensities is not restricted to a negligence action; that plaintiff may have a cause of action predicated on common-law absolute liability.” Id. at 153. In this instance, the appellate court conclude that plaintiff failed to assert or demonstrate that defendants’ had the requisite scienter regarding an aggressive or dangerous propensity on the part of their dog or that defendants’ were negligent because they owed a duty to her and other dog owners using the off-leash dog area to restrain their dog from doing precisely what was permitted, i.e., allowing the dog to run around freely and play with other dogs.
The appellate court further noted that plaintiff testified she saw nothing about the behavior of defendants’ dog that suggested any need for any action on defendants’ part, she never produced any resolution from the Board of Chosen Freeholders adopting the park guidelines as “rules or regulations” or prescribing any penalty for their violation and park guidelines were not intended to reduce the risk of normal canine behavior. Therefore, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s ruling and dismissed the plaintiff’s negligence action.
At Hark & Hark, we represent clients for appeals in Superior Court for personal injury issues like the present case pertaining to canine/pet inflicted injuries to third parties. We work hard to ensure that our clients receive exceptional representation so that they receive the most favorable outcome as a result.
We offer payment plan options to clients financially incapable of providing full payment upfront. If you are facing a similar situation to that of the plaintiff or defendant in this case, please call us to discuss the matter.
