Good dog, bad dog…Stella

Posted: June 29, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: FFT Lhasa Apsos, Lotsa Lhasa Info | 4 Comments

Following in sync with our current Good Dog, Bad Dog discussion, last week I received a Good Stella Dog note. 

Followed a week later with this:

Hi, Debby –  I need some advice from you.  Our lovely little dog has developed a nasty habit and I cannot figure out why, nor can I figure out what to do about it!  She is eating her own poop as fast as it leaves her little body!  Have you ever encountered this, and if so, do you have any suggestions as to what to do about it?

My response: Well, that is a perplexing problem! I see this behavior now and again with mother dogs, which is surely related to the ‘keep the den clean’ instinct. Wonder if she’s going through some hormonal change…. ???  I’m going to post this on the blog, along with the update you sent last week. There’s a fount of knowledge among the people. There’s a fount of knowledge and experience. Maybe we’ll all learn something, especially a solution to this unpleasant habit!

Okay, Apso Bloggers! Any ideas? Personal experiences? Solutions?

Kick it up a notch!

For those taking the FFT A Title At Both Ends Challenge, this kicks up it up a notch! Or 50.

 

The Secret

img2AI’ve added a bunch of article to the website in the past month, clearing out a drawer full of saved magazines. I’ve added them as resources on the appropriate page. Veterinary Care. Reproduction. Training. And on and on. Vickie shared The Secret. Used with permission, it was easy enough to add it to The Library, but wasn’t sure which page it fit best. It’s an awesome tribute to a foundation bitch, but somehow Reproduction didn’t seem like the right category. Finally, I settled on Exhibiting…even though it’s a piece all of you with old dogs will enjoy. Enjoy!

 AKC Launches New Canine Legislation Tracking System
 
[May 7, 2009]
 
The AKC is pleased to announce the launch of the new AKC Government Relations Legislation Tracking Service.  This new service enables you to check the status of all 2009 canine legislation in each of the 50 states, as well as federal legislation.
 
To use this service, go to the AKC Government Relations web page, www.akc.org/canine_legislation and click on the large “AKC Government Relations 2009 Legislation Tracking” icon.  This will bring you to a new page with a clickable map of the United States.  To view federal legislation, click on the “US Fed” icon to the right of the map. You can also click on any state to view that state’s pending canine legislation, the latest legislative developments, the progress of specific bills, and, if applicable, AKC legislative alerts and messages. In addition, you can view the actual text of the bill or read a brief official legislative summary. 
 
The AKC does not have a position on every bill posted; rather, this service is meant as a reference tool for you to see all the issues being considered in your state. 
 
We hope you will enjoy using this new service of the AKC Government Relations Department.
 
Any questions or comments regarding this new service should be directed to the AKC Government Relations Department at (919) 816-3720 or doglaw@akc.org. 
 

Anxiety Wrap

Here’s another ad I found very interesting. Years ago Dr. Temple Grandin, bestselling author and consultant to the livestock industry in animal behavior, recognized the benefits of ‘tight’ spaces when dealing with anxiety. There are a number of testimonials, along with lots of information at www.anxietywrap.com
