Our condolences to Doug and Britt Dalbec on the loss of Simon, Clussexx Blue Stem on Snow Simon A Poem on Parting Don't grieve too long for now I'm free I'm following the path God set for me I ran to Him when I heard His call I wagged my tail and left it all.

I could not stay another day To bark, to love, to romp or play Games left unplayed must stay that way I found such peace it made my day.

My parting has left you with a void So fill it with your remembered joy A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full, you've given so much Your time, your love and gentle touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me now, He set me free.

Isn’t Siri a doll? Her name in Norwegian means "beautiful woman who leads you to victory".

Understanding Dog Growling and Dog Language

By Pat Miller Five things to do when your dog . . . growls at you.

Growling is a valuable means of communication for a dog – something that dog owners should appreciate and respect rather than punish. Of course, we don’t want our dog to growl at us, but neither do we want him to fail to growl if something makes him uncomfortable; that’s very important information in a successful canine-human relationship.

It’s very common for dog owners to punish their dogs for Growling. Unfortunately, this often suppresses the growl – eliminating his ability to warn us that he’s about to snap, literally and figuratively. On other occasions, punishing a Growling, uncomfortable dog can induce him to escalate into full-on aggression. So, if you’re not supposed to punish your dog for growling, what are you supposed to do? The next time your dog growls at you, try this: 1.) Stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop. If your dog’s growl threshold is near his bite threshold – that is, if there’s not much time between his growl and his bite, get safe. If his growl doesn’t mean a bite is imminent, stop what you’re doing but stay where you are. Wait until he relaxes, then move away, so you’re rewarding the relaxed behavior rather than the growl.

2.) Analyze the situation. What elicited the growl? Were you touching or grooming him? Restraining him? Making direct eye contact? Taking something away from him?

Making him do something?

3.) Figure out a different way to accomplish your goal without eliciting a growl. Lure him rather than physically pushing or pulling him. Have someone else feed him treats while you touch, groom, or restrain him. If you don’t have to do whatever it was that elicited the growl, don’t – until you can convince him that it’s a good thing rather than a bad thing.

4.) Evaluate the stressors in your dog’s world and reduce or eliminate as many of them as possible. For example, if your dog is unaccustomed to strangers, then having your sister and her husband and three kids as house guests for the past week would undoubtedly stress your dog. Noise-phobic dogs might be under a strain if city crews have been digging up a nearby street with heavy equipment or there was a thunderstorm last night. The vacuum cleaner is a common stressor for dogs. A loud argument between you and your spouse could stress your dog as well as you, and your stress is stressful to your dog. Harsh verbal or physical punishment, an outburst of aroused barking at the mail carrier, fence fighting with another dog. The list could go on and on.

Keep in mind that stress causes aggression, and stressors are cumulative; it’s not just the immediate stimulus that caused the growl, but a combination of all the stressors he’s experienced in the past few days. This explains why he may growl at you today when you do something, but he didn’t growl last week when you did the exact same thing. The more stressors you can remove overall, the less likely he is to growl the next time you do whatever it was that elicited the growl this time.

5.) Institute a behavior modification program to change his opinion about the thing that made him growl. One way to do this is to use counter-conditioning and desensitization to convince him the bad thing is a good thing Another way is through the careful use of negative reinforcement as in a Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT) program to teach him a new behavioral strategy when presented with the discomfort-causing stimulus programs, If you need help to create and implement a behavior modification protocol, contact a qualified behavior professional who is experienced and successful in modifying aggressive behavior with positive, dog-friendly techniques.

You Can End Animal Abuse. Here Is How Animal lovers cannot understand how other humans are able to inflict pain on innocent animals just for entertainment or profitable ends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let alone how people can let animals suffer due to lack of knowledge.

Many times we feel our hands are tight and there is little we can do to help animals in need, but know there is always something that can be done to help put and end to animal cruelty and abuse.

The American Human Association says there are four steps you can take to stop animal abuse.

Step 1: Evaluate the Situation Make sure that before you conclude that an animal is being abused, you take a closer look at the animal and its environment at different times throughout the day. Look for the following animal abuse or neglect signs: A) Wrong collar size. Does the animal have a collar that is too tight for its neck size, or the collar size never gets adjusted as the animal grows?

B) Lack of grooming. Is the animal extremely dirty, has matted or dull fur?

C) Physical ailments. Does the pet suffer form skin infections and illnesses like mange, sores or loss of hair?

D) Malnutrition. Does the pet seem to be emaciated? Is the dog being starved because it does not have access to food and water? Is the animal being fed improper food?

E) Animal Abuse. Have you ever witnessed the animal being improperly treated, chocked, forced under water, kicked, hit, or have any body parts set on fire? It is best that before you call police, you document any of the above animal abuse. If possible, take pictures or video from a safe distance, and have the evidence ready for authorities.

Step 2: Report Animal Abuse Call your local human society, police department or animal control facility to report animal abuse. Let the officers know that you have evidence of the crime and let them be the ones to investigate the crime and to approach the abusers. Local authorities will decide how to best help the pet. If you feel the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welfare is in immediate danger, tell authorities when you report the crime. Never try to rescue the pet from an abusive or neglectful situation yourself. This is illegal and your actions will not stop the abuser from getting another animal to abuse.

Step 3: Understand the Law Research your local anti-cruelty laws to understand how these are defined by your city and state. The laws vary from state to state and many times, specific cities or counties within a state have different anti-cruelty laws. The penalties for animal abuse and neglect may vary depending on where you live. Understand that once you report the crime and an investigation is ongoing, the process can be lengthy. The involved officers might not be able to give you details of an ongoing investigation, but do make sure they know about the abuser and the abused animal.

Step 4: Help Prevent Animal Abuse The key here is information. Educate yourself and others on how a pet should be treated. Many times new pet owners don’t know what it takes to provide their pets with appropriate care and unfortunately they might not know their actions and treatment fall under animal cruelty.

You can get involved in your community by organizing local events informing the public about humane treatment for all animals. You can also request pamphlets from your local humane society to distribute in your community, or research videos and guides that teach proper animal care and treatment.

Get Involved Be knowledgeable on what your local government is doing to stop animal cruelty and support those Programs.

Know the Symptoms of This Potentially Life-Threatening Condition Story at-a-glance Anemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low red blood cell count. Red blood cells contain a protein molecule called hemoglobin that moves oxygenated blood to all the body’s tissues.

Anemia has three causes: blood loss, destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), and insufficient production of red blood cells (aplastic anemia).

When your pet has insufficient hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues, he experiences oxygen starvation.

Symptoms can include weakness, lethargy, elevated heart rate, pale mucous membranes, loss of appetite and rapid breathing.

Anemia isn’t difficult to diagnose, however, the underlying problem must also be identified and resolved. Treatment for anemia depends on the underlying cause.

By Dr. Becker

Anemia is a condition in which there are an abnormally low number of red blood cells called erythrocytes or hemoglobin in the blood.

Hemoglobin is a protein molecule inside red blood cells. Its job is to move oxygen in the blood to all the tissues in the body. As red blood cells age (they have an average lifespan of about two months) or are damaged, they are collected by the spleen and removed from circulation.

Part of the hemoglobin molecule is recycled to the bone marrow to be included in new red blood cells, while other parts are processed by the liver.

Common Causes of Anemia There are three causes of anemia: blood loss, destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), and insufficient production of red blood cells (aplastic anemia), which is the cause of about 80 percent of feline anemia.

Anemia caused by blood loss can result from trauma, surgery, or another bleeding disorder that results in a sudden reduction in the overall numbers of circulating red blood cells. However, anemia from blood loss can also be the result of a slower, chronic condition, including bleeding in the GI tract due to ulcers, internal or external parasites, cancer, and a number of other conditions.

Hemolytic anemia is caused by the destruction or shortened lifespan of red blood cells, which means there is a low overall circulating red blood cell volume. This type of anemia can be either immune-mediated or non immune-mediated.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a condition in which an animal’s body sees its own red blood cells as foreign invaders and sets out to destroy them. Non immune-mediated hemolytic anemia is the destruction of red blood cells by other means, including red blood cell parasites, hereditary diseases, toxins, or a low phosphorous level.

Aplastic anemia, which is insufficient production of red blood cells, is caused by several different disorders, including tumors of the bone marrow, chronic kidney disease, and other conditions that affect the production of red blood cells. Infections like parvovirus or Ehrlichia can cause this type of anemia, as well as chemotherapeutic agents, sulfa drugs, estrogens, and sometimes exposure to radiation and toxins.

Symptoms and Diagnosis When a pet has an abnormally low volume of red blood cells and consequently insufficient hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues, he experiences oxygen starvation.

Symptoms can include weakness, lethargy, exercise intolerance, an elevated heart rate, pale mucous membranes (usually noticed in the mouth – the gums and/or tongue become pale pink to white), mental confusion, loss of appetite, rapid breathing, and collapse. If the animal is passing a large amount of digested blood from the GI tract, there will be a black tarry stool as well.

Anemia isn’t difficult to diagnose. Typical diagnostic tests include a complete blood count, a packed cell volume, and a serum biochemistry panel. A blood smear can be analyzed under a microscope to evaluate the structure of the red blood cells.

A urinalysis may also be performed, as well as a test to check for Ehrlichia canis if the patient is a dog.

Your vet may also do a coagulation panel, as well as a mucosal bleeding time test to evaluate your pet’s clotting ability. A fecal test may also be performed to check for occult blood loss, which is blood loss from the intestines.

A diagnosis of anemia doesn’t identify the underlying problem, however. There are several other tests that often must be run to determine the cause of the low red blood cell volume.

These tests can include an abdominocentesis to check for fluid or blood in the abdomen due to trauma, a bleeding disorder, a problem with the spleen, or a complication from a prior surgery. Other tests might include abdominal X-rays, an ultrasound, or an endoscopy to look inside the abdomen for the presence of tumors or ulcers.

There are also tests that can identify the presence of mycoplasma or Babesia in the blood. Sometimes a DNA test is done to look for genetic defects in susceptible breeds. And of course there are tests to determine if there’s cancer present in your pet’s body.

Treatment for Anemia Depends on the Underlying Cause If you think your pet may be anemic, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible.

Anemia can be life threatening, depending on what’s causing it.

Treatment goals for patients with anemia are to control bleeding, restore blood volume, find and resolve underlying causes of chronic blood loss, and provide supportive care.

Depending on the cause of the anemia, treatment options can include IV fluid therapy to increase blood volume; transfusions of packed cells, whole blood, platelets, or fresh frozen plasma; transfusions of bone marrow; antibiotics if infection is present; vitamin K1 for coagulation disorders or certain poisonings; GI protectants; anti-parasitic medications; potassium phosphate supplementation; or surgery to fix the source of the bleeding.

Rarely is anemia related to iron deficiency in pets, as it is in many women. Iron supplementation should be avoided, unless your pet is one of the very rare cases where actual iron deficiency is present.

Anemic pets must be carefully monitored while undergoing treatment.

Acute aplastic anemia can be reversed within a few weeks once the cause is identified. Chronic aplastic anemia is usually a more serious condition and more difficult to resolve.

Blood loss anemia can be resolved as soon as the source of the bleeding is identified and repaired. Anemia caused by cancer has a less optimistic prognosis and depends on the pet’s response to treatment for the cancer.

Many causes of hemolytic anemia can be resolved once whatever is causing the destruction of the red blood cells has been identified.

Think Twice About This New "Natural" Pet Food That Contains Sketchy Ingredients Story at-a-glance Among the “Top 10 Pet Trends of 2013” is growing consumer demand for pet food made in the U.S. that is all natural and organic.

In response to the demand, according to Pets Weekly, “Even the big names in pet food are making a move to natural pet foods.” One of those big names is Hill’s, a major industry player that came out with a new brand called Ideal Balance, which carries the slogan “natural ingredients perfectly balanced.”

Pets Weekly seems to put Hill’s Ideal Balance side-by-side with smaller standard bearers of the natural pet food market.

A comparison of the ingredients in the Hill’s brand vs. products made by smaller, quality-focused pet food companies reveals who is using truly natural, organic ingredients. There’s also the crucially important matter of raw ingredient sourcing and processing, and in that arena, the smaller producers also win hands down.

As more big industry players enter the natural, organic pet food category, the more vigilant pet owners must become about reading product labels and understanding the significance of, for example, human grade ingredients in pet food.
