    A Canine Event: The Dog Show Westminster

    The Westminister Dog Show is one of the largest and most prestigious dog shows in the world, as well as one of the most popular. The Westminister Dog Show, which is sometimes referred to as the Dog Show Westminister, has been in place for more than one hundred years. More than a century ago, the Westminster Kennel Club was established for sporting dog enthusiasts. The group met at the Westminster Hotel in New York City and tried to raise interest in dogs. The men who ran the club hoped that raising interest would create better breeds...

    Acid Reflux In Dogs

    Q: My dog accidentally ingested a 200mg Ibuprofen tablet about 3 weeks ago. It seems to have caused severe gastrointestinal distress. After 2 weeks of daily vomiting, she is improving. Her appetite has returned and she is starting to be herself again. However, she is still plagued with what seems to be acid reflux. She belches, then slurps, as if a small amount of vomit has come up. It seems to be worse on an empty stomach. I am guessing that she is still recovering from an ulcer or other stomach irritation and secreting more acid. We've given her Zantac on our vet's recommendation, but I've read that Pepcid...

    Ballet Handbills

    Q: Clearly there was a *reason* Mr. Keeley was "relocated" to San Diego from Washington, D.C. There must also be a *reason* that Mrs. Clinton blithely denies allegations and seems unperturbed by actual revelations concerning her spouse, when many of us would have acquired a divorce attorney by, say, yesterday (if not earlier). Mr. Keeley does not like dogs, by the way. A: Here we have yet another sorry example of the gross distortions of the truth that my enemies are resorting to. I would like to take this opportunity to expose these lies. 1. At no point in my life have I...

    Consumer Debt And The Economy Needing Help

    Q: If I can trust what I've read (and remember it correctly) the current dogma goes like this: 1. The US economy needs more consumer spending to rev it up. 2. A lot of consumer debt may be bad for individuals, but the economy would be better if more people ran up their credit cards. If this is all true, why does the new budget decrease tax rates (and provide the rebate) rather than just returning the full (or maybe a partial) tax deduction for nonmortgage interest? Doesn't the amount of consumer...

    Does Acid Reflux Cause Bad Breath

    Q: How do we eliminate doggy bad breath that is apparently caused from acid reflux? We adopted a Boston Terrier from our local humane society. she had been rescued from a puppy mill. Although the vets thinks she is about 2 years old she only weighs 3 lbs. She has major reflux we are treating, but she has BAD breath. Does anyone know how we can elimanate this. She is under a vets care and he has ran several tests. He though she had a disease that would cause this problem, but she tested negative for it. Can anyone in the...

    Dog Training

    There are many scenarios which might warrant the need for dog training. In response, professional training schools typically offer a wide variety of dog training courses - each unique in its goal. While some obedience courses are specific to a special need - such as in the case of a guide dog for a visually impaired owner - there are many courses that target more general needs. Let's take a look at just a few of those dog training courses which target assistance to humans, with the understanding that there are many more that are available beyond this scope. Assistance Training While...

    Dog Training Courses - Anyone Know Of A Good Place?

    Q: -My wife just got done training our Papillion puppy. She took her to Ram Rod, it was close to us and it was the cheapest that she found. The woman that ran the class seemed a little gruff at first but by the time the ten week class was over she turned out A: -Can't help you that is pretty far from NJ.

    Early Signs Of Depression ?

    Q: If it is not too much trouble, I would like some experiences shared -- namely, what you early signs of depression were. My current (and first) crash started about two and a half months ago. I was going along in life, thought I was pretty happy, and then I started to feel some abnormal anxiety begin to well up in me. I had a panic attack or two (had no idea what the were so they pretty much scared the shit out of me) and it seemed like the anxiety just seemed to well up in me...

    Getting A Great Dog Picture

    Every dog owner wants at least a few great photos of their pet to show around or to keep close by. Anyone who has ever tried to take a dog picture, though, knows that the process is not as easy as it looks. There are probably thousands of dog pictures in the country right now that show little more than dog-colored blurs. Dogs do not always stay still for a dog picture. The other major problem with taking a dog picture is the "plain Jane" problem, whereby your cute and charming dog suddenly becomes unenthusiastic and...

    Getting Your Dog To Take Dog Pills

    At some point, almost every dog needs to take dog pills. Whether the dog pills are for worms, infection, or illness, the process of taking them is never fun for either the canine or the human in question. Dogs are scared of the pills and often will resist taking them. The human owners trying to administer dog pills risk getting bitten or even scratched. It is not much fun for anyone, but it must be done. Vets and dog breeders have found a few tricks to make dog pills go down a little easier: oThere is a...

    Lone Nutters Are Screwing Dogs...!

    Q: The interesting thing about Files' confession is that, while it was videotaped, he does not give up his right to take the 5th under oath. Also, this was NOT a legal deposition. In order to be tried, the Attorney General of the State of Texas would have to DO HIS JOB and INSIST that the Dallas DA, John Vance, call a grand jury and hear the evidence OR the USDOJ would have to call the grand jury. Go to www.jfkmurdersolved.com and click on the picture of the Texas AG next to Janet Reno and the Texas law is printed there for you. To...

    Male Depression

    Q: The most common problem associated with male menopause is depression which is closely related to impotence and problems with male sexuality. Approximately 40% of men in their 40s, 50s and 60s will experience some degree of difficulty in attaining and sustaining erections, lethargy, depression, increased irritability, and mood swings that characterize male menopause. The symptoms of depression in men are commonly not recognized for several reasons: The symptoms of male depression are different than the classic symptoms we think of as depression Men deny they have problems because they are supposed to "be strong" Men deny they have...

    Neighbor Harrasment

    Q: I am 24 years old and just bought my first house last year. My neighbor is driving me crazy and broke. He kept calling the town building inspector complaining about my retaining wall not being safe, so I had to fix it (I understand that this had to be done and cost a little over $3000, which I might add put me in financial difficulty). Now my problem. My neighbor keeps calling the building inspector trying to find things wrong with my house/property. The building inspector is very sick of hearing from him AND SO AM I. The only...

    Noise Ordinance And Harassment By A Neighbor

    Q: I am being harassed by a neighbor for having my puppies that are up for sale outside after 7:00 AM. The puppies are just playing outside and this neighbor is calling the Sheriffs Dept. continuously. It is not my fault that he does not have air conditioning and the puppies are not barking constantly. What can I do. Please outline the restrictions for me. I need to also know if this is above the audible sounds limitation.A: Here is the link to the city web site and where to find the ordinances that outline our rights/violations. http://www.ci.lafayette.or.us/ Resources Municipal Code Dog Ordinance is...

    Oh-oh: Katie Holmes With Postpartum Depression?

    Q: Of course she has postpartum depression. Every woman gets it post pregnancy, even if she won't admit it. There is a drastic drop in pregnancy hormones that is ultimately the cause. Does every woman need to be medicated? Of course not and most don't. So Katie will likely be fine. Nursing and meds tend not to be a good idea anyway, even if not a scientologist. Is it stupid and downright nasty that she is on an exercise program before 6 weeks? Absolutely!! She needs to sleep whenever the baby sleeps,...

    Online Degree In Animal Behavior, Animal Behavior Clinic

    Q: New to North County San Diego is the Alternative Animal Therapy & Training Clinic. Shortly to appear online.A:way to make the little dog safe with the big dog. They cannot be left loose together at all for any reason. Until you find a home for the chihuahua, he must be crated when the big dog is loose. The big dog must be crated, kept in another room, or tied when the Chi is loose. Do it NOW or that Chi will be dead tomorrow. I wouldn't trust a college graduate of ANY sort to train my dogs. Why??...

    Online Driver Training Course ?

    Q: I see quite a few people in this group who make unqualified statements in their posts, like "I'm a good driver." I was wondering what others thought about this? How do you classify yourself as a good driver? I see some suggest that because they haven't (yet) had an accident, they must be a good driver. A bit like a doctor who suggests he's good because he hasn't killed anyone yet. Others suggest that because they attended some random advanced driver training course, they're now a good driver - which I think is crap too. In fact, I'd be more worried about sharing the road with self...

    Selecting From Different Dog Breeds

    If you are planning on getting a dog, you will need to consider dog breeds at some time or other. Although many potential dog owners don';t think that dog breeds will affect them if they aim on getting a mixed breed puppy or dog, dog breeds need to be carefully considered before buying or adopting a dog or puppy. Basically, dog breeds dramatically affect the temperament and personality of dogs, and it becomes important to choose a dog breed or a mix of dog breeds that will suit your personality and your lifestyle. If you live a...

    Selecting The Best Dog Toys

    Dog toys are a lot more than simply an accessory or play thing for your dog. Dog toys serve several important functions in your dog's life. For a puppy, dog toys help in development and help your puppy to work off some of the extra energy he or she has. Dog toys help dogs of all ages remain fit and healthy because they encourage running around and intellectual activity. Dog toys also tend to be a great way for you to spend time with your pet, which is very important for your pet's emotional health and...

    Signs Of Dog Depression. Vick, Dogs, O The Inhumanity! ?

    Q: Billions of chickens are slaughtered every day for our dinner in a hell of a lot more horrific ways than those of a dog fight. And all over Asia dogs are raised and slaughtered for food exactly like we slaughter chickens, ducks, et al.A:Lady, READ MY POST AGAIN and please verify its facts: Every single year in this country alone we stage 5,000,000 dog fights (where one of the combatants is a human being). Against such UNPROTESTED barbarity, Vick "staging" a few dog fights without either combatants being a human being is rather mild. If it's against the law,...

    Signs Of Mild Depression. Battling The Black Dog ?

    Q: The relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and depression seems to be different from other neurological disorders. Instead of fluctuating levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, MS involves lesions on the brain and spinal cord where they have been stripped of their insulating myelin. Could demyelination play a role in depression?A:The level of depression is the driving force in the quality of life of people with MS, probably more so than the overall burden of the disease itself. There is also evidence that depression impairs the management of MS symptoms, by reducing adherence to treatment. As with other...

    Symptoms Of Depression In Dogs, Using Dogs In Therapy (questions)

    Q: Anyone using therapy dogs in their clinical work? If you are, I'd like some first hand information (e.g., how you got started, what specialized training you and your dog went through, what type of dog(s) you work with, any problems encountered, type of population you work with, etc.).A:While I have not met anyone face-to-face who uses dogs in therapy, I *have* read about different therapists, notably in hospital situations or convalescent homes, using dogs with good effect. Which is not surprising. One of the symptoms of depression is a withdrawal...

    Playing Bridge

    Q: I've never played bridge online, but I'm curious if those who do play online believe that "table feel" and other psychological elements are still a factor in the game? A:-I suspect the inferences for experienced online players are as valid as they are for equally experienced F2F players. The sad part about this issue is that I am unaware of any effort by online bridge providers to improve their service with regards to this issue. I am quite surprised that at a minimum no one has instituted mandatory pauses over skip bids....

    Texas A M Class Ring, Am I The Only One?

    Q: Doggone it! I've looked high and low but have not been able to find them. I have several rolls of War Nickels around here somewhere. I wanted to examine them to see if I have a 43/42 overdate in the bunch, but I'll be darned if I can find them. Just wondering here if I'm the only one who misplaces numismatic items from time to time... (Don't ever get old, folks! It's not fun to be "losing it!")A:In the 70s or early 80s sometime I bought a holographic Saint. It was what it sounds like. An...

    The Shelf

    Q: Looking for recommendation for dog training video...saw the Woodehouse on the shelf but wondered if anything more modern or effective was available? A: What are your goals for using a dog training video tape? Are you chosing to use the video tape as a supplement to dog training classes? If you are choosing video tape instead of dog training classes what is your past dog training experience? I have an increasingly large collection of dog training video tapes and some of them are quite excellent. Their "excellentness" however is going to be related to your goals and baseline...

    Troop Leadership Training Courses

    Q: Training (TLT) is "mandatory per BSA National policy" every six months, even if you've had it before. That doesn't sound right to me. I know the Scout won't be considered "trained" in his position of responsibility (POR) w/o TLT, but as far as I know, TLT (or training of any kind) isn't a prerequisite for a POR, nor is it a requirement during a POR. This sounds like another case of "adding to the requirements", but I didn't want to make an issue of it, if anyone else can confirm it. Has anyone heard of such a requirement?A:I have never heard of a BSA required mandatory...

    Vegetative Symptoms Of Depression, Endogenous Versus Exogenous: Still Not The Issue

    Q: Many readers may recall a time during the early 1980s when it was believed to be important to classify depression as either endogenous or exogenous. The idea was that there was a difference between depression precipitated by life events, called exogenous depression, and depression that was inherent to the patients' physiology, referred to as endogenous depression. The theory was that patients with exogenous depression did not respond to antidepressants -- ie, tricyclic antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) -- because, presumably, their depression was not a function of their physiology but rather a reaction to their life situation. As...

    Veterinarian Clinic

    Not all pets do well with that trip to the vet. How many scratches, accidents, or whines have you lived with as you have dragged your precious companion in the doors of the veterinary clinic? Well, now the vets are making house calls for the same or sometimes even lower cost than an office visit. Many of these mobile clinics perform low cost vaccinations to pets in their areas, and some even do spaying and neutering right there. Some offer classes to help pet owners learn more about animal care and proper treatment, and some offer...

    Wanted: Training Buddy For A Dog Aggressive Dog...

    Q: We have a 2 or 3 year old husky/shepherd female named Pepper whom we adopted in January from the Oakland (CA) SPCA: We adopted her not knowing that she was very aggressive towards other dogs. Fortunately she is very trainable and we have just finished a training course for aggressive dogs at the Berkeley Humane Society. Pepper is making progress. Or may be better put, Pepper and her humans are making progress in our training. For Pepper even passing another dog behind a fence was a problem. Now we can pass by...

    What Can I Do To Stop Harrassment From Ex-husband And His New Wife?

    Q: What can I do to stop harrassment from ex-husband and his new wife? My ex-husband and his current wife will not stop attacking my character. They have gone as far as telling great lies to our 13 year old son's girlfriends mother. Which kind of caused a riff with my son and his girlfriend and then her mother made a sarcastic remark about me which pissed off my sons girlfriend. This is taking quite a toll on myself and my 2 children that I have with my ex! Help! What can I do? What should I do? I have...

    Where To Meet Your Dog Supply Needs

    Every dog creates dog supply needs. If you are a new pet owner, you may well be astonished at all the supplies your dog needs: food, food bowls, blankets, sweaters, dog toys, leashes, collars, dog tags, boots for walks in harsh weather, dog house, nail clippers, brush, tub for baths, towel, shampoo, dog cage or carrier, muzzle, and many other items. All these items obviously can add up. You may even have trouble finding items in the style or quality you want. What you will need if you are a dog owner is some places where...

    Why Are Stupid Leftist Dogooders Proposing More Debtr

    Q: Why are stupid leftist do-gooders proposing more debt-relief for corrupt Marxist African governments when everybody knows there was never any possibility of this money being repaid anyway? In spite of all the media hype and Live8 concerts, more charity for Africa will accomplish nothing in reducing poverty and suffering there. It may make economic morons like rock "stars" Bono and Bob Geldof feel good about themselves but the whole operation is futile. More than half a trillion in US dollar aid has already been given to Africa yet the situation in that continent has never been worse. It is Africa's own...
