Comment on “Flatulence” …by Your Pet by alicia

I have no idea how i wound up on this page, when i should be working on a report, but what a funny article to read…thank you…in fact, i think the author is my dog’s doctor.

My pup sits in on almost all of my therapy sessions. Once in a while she has gas that brings tears to one’s eyes…in my case, tears of shame, because I don’t know what to think, much less, what to do. Did my patient just do this? Did my dog who has her head on the patient’s lap just do this? Is my patient thinking I did this? I am mortified and have no idea how to handle the situation. Luckily it isn’t a problem that comes up often so she (Charlotte) stays because I swear my patients get better just petting her head.

Comment on Ohio – Pet Sitters – Dog Walkers by Lou Anne Michel

To Animal Lovers Everywhere – Avoid – PeaceforPawsOhio.org like it was a bad night on a Carnival Cruise ship. I fostered an eight week old puppy from this agency. I trained him six to seven hours a day for five weeks. When the puppy was nine weeks old, the agency instructed me to have him neutered. They sent me to veterinarians they designated and the vets refused to do the procedure saying it was unsafe before five months. I researched the issue and talked it over with some local vets and persons online. The consensus was that it was unsafe. Even if you adopt from this group – you never own the dog. They can take you to court for reasons they deem appropriate (at your expense) for the life of your adopted pet. On March 2, 2013 they came to my house to take the puppy and did not allow me to say goodbye or take the expensive food and toys I had purchased for him. I got into this to do a good thing. PeaceforPawsOhio.org sure did not make me feel too “PEACEFUL”.

Thank you,

Comment on Mushroom-derived compound lengthens survival in dogs with cancer, Penn Vet study finds by Jeannette Botza

Wish I would have know about this last year before I lost
my dear Buffy to this dreadful cancer., I did four sessions of chemo plus acupuncture, chinese herbs, vitamins,and a special diet. I had her for only 5 months after she was
diagnosed. Also did metronomic thereapy, but I did not
like the side effects, so I stopped as her quality of life meant more to me. The oncologist told me if I stop, the cancer would come back and it would be my fault, because
there would be nothing they would be able to do for her then. Those words have been a stab in my heart.

Comment on A Man and His Breed Remembered by Brian Rice

I may surprise some of you to learn that the Tundra Shepherd is alive and well and residing in Papua New Guinea, (South Pacific). Here and in the region the breed is known as the “Timber Shepherd” but without a doubt a very close cousin of the original ATS. There are at least two breeders here including myself. The dogs are the preferred breed of private security companies here and there are many employed on daily work routines. I have visited the original ATS Foundation site and viewed the photos of Frank Catania’s original dogs and if you were to put our Timber Shepherds alongside you could not tell them apart. I will be building a new website shortly and shall dedicate a page to our work here in advancing the legacy of FC and his magnificent breed. In the meantime if you would like to view my dogs I can be contacted at raintree.png@gmail.com

Comment on Extreme Poodles by davio5:-)

Oh dear, Crystal gets her exercise jumping to conclusions and bagging people. Perhaps more effort should be applied to avoiding assumptions and holding her tongue. Unfortunately dogs tend to take up the vibe of their owner which in this instance appears to have led to Crystals’ dog developing a psychiatric disposition unfavourable to proper grooming.

Comment on Cats and Convicts Couple Up by henry

hi stacy, i came across your article as a result of seeing this prison on a tv programme in ireland. i must admit when i first saw the cats in the prison i was shocked and then when it was explained that the cats helped the prisoners i thought well maybe its good. however i have given it more thought since and am not really sure its right for the cats to be this type of environment. i know how much cats love to roam around freely and especially at night. these cats are imprisoned in a way, one clip on the tv programme i watched showed the prisoners in lock-down and the tv interviewer asked does this mean the cats are locked in the cells all the time and the answer was yes. this is cruel towards the cats, the cats deserve to be treated better, they havent committed a crime!!
