A Little Cream Cheese Helps the Medicine Go Down

From Kathy:

Getting pills into Tess is always a challenge.  I usually poke them down her, but sometimes she clamps on my fingers–ouch!  And she decided not to keep the pill down after digesting it.  Vickie suggested giving her half a Pepcid, to keep the stomach acid down.  And then I read that coating a pill with a bit of cream cheese works wonders.  Tess gobbles it down like candy!  Thanks for the advice, Vickie!

Yes, I Learned It in Kindergarten

by Joyce Johanson

At the shopping mall the other day, I happened to see a poster with Robert Fulghum’s* list of things he learned in kindergarten. For some reason, seeing that list again really “hit home.” Therefore, with apologies to Mr. Fulghum, I have to say that all I needed to know about breeding and exhibiting Lhasas I too “learned in kindergarten.” Fulghum’s kindergarten-garnered knowledge is appropriate to many situations in life, even to dog breeding/showing.

Read the entire article.

Wow…just wow

Scientists Cite Fastest Case of Human Evolution

Interesting link from Susan: 
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/02/science/02tibet.html?src=un&feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Fjson8.nytimes.com%2Fpages%2Fscience%2Findex.jsonp

The gist of the article is that Tibetans have evolved to compensate for
the lack of oxygen at their high altitude.   It occurred to me that
perhaps dogs who developed in Tibet might actually be at a disadvantage
when brought to our lower altitudes.  Okay, I'm no scientist, but I
can't help but wonder if maybe these dogs whose attributes seem to
indicate such strength, agility, etc., are perhaps weakened when we
remove them from their natural habitat.
