In Celebration of Pets was held the night of Saturday, November 6th, at Breaking Bread Banquet Hall, just south of Sheboygan. A charity event, whichwas sponsored by Fringe Benefi ts. The guest speaker of the evening, was Bar-bara Techel & Frankie; The Walk ‘N RollDog and featured a silent and live auc-tion whose proceeds went to benefi t animals.

The evening began, with people browsing over the silent auction items and placing bids, as well as talking insmall groups. After a short while, ev-eryone made their way to a table and began taking their seats. There was alovely three-course meal served as ev-eryone began to get to know others at their table. Then as everyone fi nished their meal, Barbara Techel and Frankie were introduced.

Barbara began speaking about her love of pets, and some of the hardships she had to endure before getting towhere she is today. As she spoke, the audience listened with awe and emo-tion. Finally, we were introduced to Frankie, who for most of the evening, had been carried around in a kangaroo style pouch, by Barb. Barbara showed us how Frankie uses her wheelchair andallowed her to walk around a little. The following is Frankie’s bio, if you would like to read more on Frankie or her mom Barb Techel please go to their website, www.joyfulpaws.com.

Frankie is best known as “the walk ‘n roll dog.” After suffering a spi-nal injury at the age of six, which caused partial paralysis, she was custom- fi tted for a doggie wheel-chair. She now zooms through life with a joyous zest that never fails to make people smile when they see her.

Frankie shares her story of inspi-ration and hope in the multi award-winning book series Frankie the

Question #1:Shellie,In last month’s column, you said

a few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil added to your pet’s food can help reduce dry skin, and believe me it does work! My skin was so dry I was chewing off my hair and had scabs on my front legs, but now they are gone! Now I have two cats I live with that would like the same benefi ts, and help their dry skin as well. My question is, “How do my human companions give oil to them. They get dry cat food, the bowl is fi lled when it is empty and it sits for sometimes two weeks before being refi lled. And I have heard that oil can go bad.” My two friends are eagerly awaiting your answer.

Scrappy of Ask Scrappy!

Hi Scrappy,I am so glad to hear that you are

enjoying the benefi ts of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Yes, your cat friends can enjoy these benefi ts also. Have one of your humans apply a small amount to their fi nger and try that fi rst. If they won’t lick it off the fi ngers then you can add a couple drops to some treats or food. A treat with the same consisten-cy would be peanut butter. Not a lot of it but enough that they get the oil and there tongue doesn’t stick to the roof of their mouth. You are correct that the oil can go bad if left on the food for too long of a time span. In the next ques-tion, I am answering about Kelp. This can be another option if the cats are too fi nicky.

Thanks,Shellie L JacquartBark, Bath & Beyond

Question #2:Hello there Bark, Bath & Beyond,Hey, I’ve been wondering how well

the Kelp products work with shedding dog hair and even them being more relaxed and calm all around? Please let me know what you have on that for me?! Thank you all very much I appre-ciate your time.

Justin Jacquart.

Hi Justin,The Kelp you are referring to is

Organic Norwegian Kelp. Kelp has many benefi ts, including less shed-

ding. Some of the other benefi ts are reduced stress, aiding in the care of dry skin and allergies, improved condi-tion of coat and feathers, reduced pain from arthritis, restoring pigmentation, balancing the thyroid, and aiding in digestion. Aiding in the digestive sys-tem is a great benefi t. The enzymatic action helps to extract the maximum nourishment from your pet’s foods and to digest them completely. Kelp is a good source of calcium, magnesium, choline, iron, zinc, selenium, biotin, and dietary fi ber. The antioxidants in Kelp are 50 times more powerful than those in Vitamin E. Kelp works well for Birds, Cats and Dogs. It doesn’t take a lot to get them to eat it. Just sprinkle the amount recommend in your pets dish over their food, and that is it. With 13 vitamins, 60 major & trace chelated minerals and 20 key amino acids, how can you go wrong? Result typically take up to 3 weeks to make a notice-able difference, but when we were test-ing the product we were seeing results in one week. A one-pound bag would last the average 25# dog 5 months.

ASK SCRAPPY!

by Scrappy, the Lovable Pit Bull

I hope all my friends and their par-ents had a great Christmas and received everything they hoped for (or at least close to it). I had a great holiday! Lots of toys, treats, running around outside, running around inside, and just plain running around! After all of this, I think I need a few days to lay around and rest. As for my two kitty buddies, that’s pretty much a standard day for them. Unfortunately, I did NOT receive my new bed...yet. I believe I made my desires clear to certain people, but humans can be kinda slow when it comes to subtle hints. Oh well, there’s always my birth-day. HINT!!

I also hope everyone made it through the holidays safe and kept their noses out of places they shouldn’t be. I know that’s hard to do because those are usually the most interesting places to be. Though the resulting “Bad” and stern looks, don’t make it worth doing. When you make someone mad, it takes a while to get them to come around. I’ve gotten in trouble to the point that even extra strength puppy eyes and it didn’t work. My kitty posse on the other hand, turns tail, gets an attitude, disappears and then later re-appear like nothing happened. I know sometimes it seems harsh when our parents get upset with us, but we have to remember it’s for our own good. They’re keeping us safe and healthy. We have to consider that when we’re hurt, it’s not just us that feels the pain. Our parents are there with us and hurt as much as we do. So, it’s best to avoid trouble anytime you can. That means no sassing when we need our paws cleaned after playing in the snow or complaining when we have to get a bath. I prefer a groomer myself. I get a ride in the car, meet other dogs and cats, the people are nice and they don’t get frustrated when I get water everywhere. Plus, there is playtime and treats! That’s enough to get dirty for!

Our recipes this month are:

• Chicken and Cheese Treats• ¼ cup of chicken broth• 6oz. Plain nonfat yogurt• 1 T. olive oil• 1 T. barley malt syrup• ½ t. salt• 2/3 C. whole-wheat fl our• 1 C. all-purpose fl our• ¼ C. grated Parmesan cheese• ¼ C. grated Cheddar cheese• 2 T. brewer’s yeast• ½ C. cornmeal• ½ C. oatmeal - uncooked• ¼ C. farina - uncooked• 2 T. parsley fl akes• 1 ½ t. dry yeast• Preheat oven to 325° F.• Mix all ingredients together in

a bread maker set to the dough cycle (the best method) or can be kneaded by

Keeping your Pets Safe during the Holidays

Post-Holiday Edition

by Rick Barton, Pet Journal Staff &Dede Diel, Silde Kennels & GroomingOnce again, we face the aftermath

of the Christmas/New Year’s holidays.The bills, the clean up, the hangovers,and of course, the extra weight brought on by all the various feasts we’ve overin-dulged in. It’s also the time we begin totake down the decorations for another year. With all that’s going on, it’s impor-tant to remind ourselves of the precau-tions we took regarding our four legged family members and the holidays. Much of what we discussed regarding putting up decorations, also applies to taking them down.

As you know, our little buddies arecurious and love to be involved with whatever were up to. The noise andactivity of taking down decorations and boxing them up is extremely interest-ing to them. This means we have tobe especially on guard for situations that could potentially cause them harm. The best case would scenario would be tokeep them out of the area while work-ing. Though we all know how persistentand persuasive they can be when theywant something. With this in mind, here are a few suggestions.

When removing decorations, have astorage container ready for them. Leav-ing small, fragile or glass ornaments lay-ing about where curious pets can fi nd them can lead to disaster. Especially with so many ornaments that look like the kind of toys they are used to play-ing with. They can easily be picked upand carried off to be chewed on, caus-ing mouth or internal damage when broken or swallowed. This also covers

objects including, hooks, string, ribbons, garland, strands of lights, and so on. Anumber of decorations not only causeintestinal blockage and internal damage,but can also cause skin and eye irrita-tion due to low-level toxins in the deco-ration. These include angel hair (made from spun glass), tinsel, artifi cial snow and fl ocking. Simply make sure they areproperly disposed of or placed in appro-priate packaging.

hand. Add more broth or fl our if neces-sary to make dough workable and fi rm. When dough is ready, spread out on a cutting board lightly covered with corn-meal to the thickness of ¼”. Use cookie cutters to shape treats. When this is done, place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake 40 to 50 minutes or until treats are golden brown. Let cool and store in sealed container in a cool area or refrigerator.

• Kitty Tuna Treats• ½ C. whole-wheat fl our• ½ C. nonfat powered milk• ½ can of tuna in oil• 1 T. olive or cod liver oil• 1 egg• ¼ C. water• Begin by preheating over to350 ° F.• In a large mixing bowl, mash

tuna into small pieces. Add fl our and milk, mix well. Then mix in water and oil. In a separate bowl, beat egg until egg achieves a foamy texture and add to mix. The dough will become very sticky. At this point, shape dough into small kitty sized balls, about the size of a marble, and place on prepared cookie sheet. Flatten balls into cookies and bake for 10 minutes, remove cookies and fl ip to other side. Bake for 10 ad-ditional minutes or until golden brown. Catnip can be added to garnish treats. Let cool and store in sealed container in cool area or refrigerator.

That’s it for this month! Everybody have a great New Years and I’ll see you next month.

Ask the Alpha Dog

by Alpha Dog - Tamara Pool, 4-Paws Private Training, Sheboygan, WI

Jenny from Manitowoc writes,Dear Alpha Dog, My German Shepherd, Lucy, is pretty protective of me. She seems to al-ways stand in front of me when there is someone around that she doesn’t know. Should I be concerned?

Dear Jenny,German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) are one of the most protective breeds out there. I speak from personal experience when I tell you this. I have 2 female shep-herds myself. They are a wonderful breed that has the ability to turn “work” on and off. They have an instinct that is unparalleled in the dog world. That being said, they have been known to go overboard when it comes to protecting their family.

You need to work a GSD very hard. They need to feel that what they are do-ing is meaningful and helpful. They are the epitome of a working dog. I suggest putting a backpack on your GSD while you are walking her. This will give the walks a more working feel for her. Don’t let her walk in front of you. Keep her at your side or behind you so she is al-ways watching you and following your lead. To teach her this, you should fi rst start your walks being unpredictable. Change direction at random. Pick dif-ferent routes. Make her watch for cues from you. Communication with dogs is mostly nonverbal. Most importantly, don’t watch her. You can feel where she is with the leash (no retractable leashes, only 4-6 foot leather or nylon leashes will do). Keep your focus on the forward motion. I often suggest for my students to look at the stop sign at the end of the block, or another fi xed point a distance away, and tell yourself, in your head, “I need to get there.” Don’t concentrate on her. It’s her job to concentrate on you. Thinking about what your dog is doing is a mistake that a lot of people make. Just because your dog isn’t yank-ing your arm off doesn’t mean they are a good walker. They need to be in the right position.

Once you have mastered the walk, most of the other issues with her trying to protect you will fall into place. This should be enough to tell her that you can protect yourself. If you truly feel un-safe and in danger, she’ll know enough to step up to the proverbial plate and do the protection thing when she’s most needed. This is the true meaning of be-ing the alpha dog.

Sincerely,Alpha Dog

Jack from Sheboygan writes,Dear Alpha Dog,My 4-year-old terrier mix has suddenlytaken to peeing on my bed. My girl-friend is getting mad and wants me to get rid of him. I just can’t. What’s go-ing on?

Amendment: After emails back and forth with Jack, I discovered that it is a new girlfriend.

Dear Jack,I have seen this many times before. Your dog is trying to get your atten-tion and marking his property…you. It’sbeen just the two of you for a while and he doesn’t like the fact that someone is coming in and taking you over. If she is asking you to get rid of your beloveddog, she is obviously strong willed andhe may look at her as the “new alpha fe-male.” He is attempting to hold onto his position in your pack by claiming whathe views as his.

Getting rid of the problem is only goingto mess with his life even more. Don’t do it! I can’t stress this enough. Fol-low a few simple instructions and you’ll soon be good as new. First, he is nolonger allowed on the bed for any rea-son. Don’t argue…it’s for the best. He isn’t in charge, so he shouldn’t be upthat high. Second, set up a training schedule. Practice sits, downs, leave its, recalls, stays and anything else he knows a couple times a day for about15 minutes at a crack. Get the girlfriendin on it too. This will help solidify her place in the pack. Third, make sure he is expelling enough energy outside onwalks. Terriers are notoriously high-en-ergy dogs and they need a concentrated walk to deal with that energy. For in-structions on this… see the fi rst half of this column. It is there. Lastly, do notget mad at him for being a dog. HE IS ADOG! He just needs the rules enforced. If you lose your temper, you lose your status as alpha dog. Communicate withhim in his language because he does not know your language.

Once he starts to view you and your newgirlfriend as equals and he as the pack,things will get better. You and your girl will be happier and you will remain the alpha dog. Good luck.

Sincerely,Alpha Dog

Eastshore Humane Associationby Lee Schneider, Pet Journal Staff Writer

The Eastshore Humane Association, Inc. of Chilton, Wisconsin is one of the many Humane Societies and Pet Res-cues in the Lakeshore Region. Easts-hore Humane Association (ESHA) differs from the rest of the Humane Societies in the area, as they are a “No Kill” shelter.

What is “no-kill” you may ask? While defi nitions vary based on the group, Eastshore’s policy is as follows: ESHA does not believe in euthanizing any animal that can be medically treated or behaviorally trained to be adoptable. If an animal is suffering in pain and not curable, they believe that, it is an act of kindness to euthanize that animal. Also, any animal that is a threat to pub-lic safety and welfare, whose behavior cannot be modifi ed, will be euthanized. When the shelter is full, they use one or more of the following options instead of euthanizing animals:

• ESHA has a responsibility to take in stray animals. “Owner surren-der” animals will be placed on a waiting list (“fi rst come, fi rst served” basis), if kennel space is not available. They will contact the owner when kennel space dose become available.

• ESHA uses reputable breed res-cue groups. These groups know the breed and have a nation-wide network to help fi nd these animals a loving home.

• ESHA uses foster homes as a short-term solution. By working with the foster family, they insure that the animal(s) being fostered is returned to the shelter to be available for adoption.

Eastshore was founded in October of 1986 as the Calumet County Hu-mane Society. For their fi rst 15 years they occupied a two-room basement in a large veterinary clinic. In the summer of 2000, they received a grant from the Community Foundation for the Fox Val-ley Region which enabled ESHA to pur-chase 5.2 acres on the northeast corner of M-B Lane and Park St. on the south side of Chilton. A bequest from Rob-ert O. Hanson helped fund construction of a 4,500+ square foot animal shelter, which was fi nished in March of 2001.

Eastshore supports its opera-tions through adoptions, contributions, grants, and bequests. They also rely on fundraisers such as the Mardi Paws Ca-sino Night. This special event is their main fundraiser for the year and will have fun, food, many games, prizes and music. They have a number of mem-bership levels for those who wish to go that route. It is important to note, that they do not receive any federal, state, or county monies for operations. While they have a small paid staff, due to their limited funding, they rely on the help of volunteers to continue their operation.

Eastshore relies on donations of pet products as well as the help of volun-teers. The Shelter is always looking for donations of the following pet items:

Walk ‘N Roll Dog which are writ-ten from Frankie’s point of view. Frankie’s poignant message is that we all have challenges, but we also have a choice as to how we will deal with our challenges, and we can each fi nd a way to give back despite obstacles. If Frankie could speak human she would say, “Always be positive, make a difference, and keep on rolling!”

In 2009, Frankie was inducted into the Wisconsin Pet Hall of Fame in the companion category. She was chosen because she positively affected her mom, Barbara, helping her fi nd her purpose. She was also given this distinguished accolade because as a registered therapy dog she shares her endearing spirit and love not only with children during school visits, but also brings joy to the elderly, and hospital and hospice patients.

Frankie lives in Elkhart Lake, Wis-consin with the best parents ever, Barbara & John Techel. She also shares her doggie bed with her best bud, Kylie, her three-year-old Eng-lish Labrador sister. Frankie lives life to the fullest and being in her presence will give you hope that all things are possible.

When Barbara fi nished her presen-tation, she headed back to her table with Frankie and began to set up for autographs of her books “Frankie, the Walk ‘n Roll” and “Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Therapy Dog visits Lib-by’s House”. At which point the live auction began, all of the Silent Auc-tion items were brought to the front of the room and auctioned off one-by-one. By the end of the evening, everyone had laughed, cried, talk-ed, and had a fun time benefi ting a worthwhile and important cause.

If you have a live tree, it’s a goodidea to thoroughly vacuum anywherethe tree has been to catch all the fallenneedles. Desiccated needles becomevery rigid and sharp. They can easilypuncture paws, cause mouth, and in-testinal damage if swallowed. You alsoneed to dispose of any left over water inthe tree reservoir before thirsty pet de-cide to drink any. This water may con-tain preservatives and pesticides fromthe tree. If your tree is artifi cial, be sureto keep branches off the fl oor. Brancheslook very inviting to pets who love tochew. Being the core to the branch isoften made of metal, chewing can resultin painful broken teeth and damage tothe mouth. As mentioned in previouscolumns, simply knowing where yourpets are can solve all of these potentialproblems.

While the majority of adoptions from ESHA are dogs and cats, they also work with small mammals, birds and reptiles. In addition they also have for adoption at this time are some nice friendly kit-ties that have Feline Leukemia (FeLV; see the Feline Leukemia story on page 9) as well as a couple kitties with Feline Immunodefi ciency Virus (FIV). While these cats may look and act just like other cats they have some health issues and need special care and attention, such as being in a home by themselves

or with another kitty with the same con-dition. Like many shelters when youadopt a pet, your adoption fee not only goes to help the shelter but, also paysfor some basics with your new pet suchas: the initial vet visit, food samples, spay/neuter, and some vaccinations.

Feline Leukemiaby Judi McClain, Eastshore Humane Association

The Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) was fi rst recognized in 1964. The virus causes suppression of the cat’s immune system. In addition, the virus can trans-form healthy cells (cells involved in the immune reaction) into cancerous cells.

Widespread testing and vaccination have clearly decreased the rate of infec-tion over the last 20 years but the abil-ity of infected cats to shed and transmit FeLV through saliva ensures that this virus will continue to be a problem for cat owners, breeders and veterinarians. There are several ways FeLV is transmit-ted, they are:

1. Between unrelated adult cats – by sharing food/water dishes, mutual grooming or by sharing a litter box.2. From a mother cat to her kit-tens through saliva and milk

You should have your cat tested fi rst if you are considering vaccinating the cat against FeLV. Diagnosis of FeLV is proven by a blood test. Any positive test should be confi rmed in order to rule out the possibility of a false-positive result, so a second blood test is recommended.

Factors that increase the risk of a

cat becoming infected with the virus are:1. Being male2. Being Mixed Breed3. Not being Neutered or Spayed4. Being Less than Age 75. Being Involved in Cat Fights6. Living in a Multi-cat household7. Co-Existing with cats with known FeLV infections, or FeLV as-sociated diseases.

Cats infected with the feline leuke-mia virus can live for several years and have a good quality of life. However, cats infected with the FeLV should be kept indoors to prevent spreading the virus to other cats. The following factors are important to keeping cats healthy:

1. Good nutrition2. Proper litter box hygiene3. Loving, stimulating envi-ronment4. Veterinary check-ups at least twice a year

Eastshore Humane Association currentlyhas two cats with FeLV.

• Snowfl ake (below right) – loves, loves, loves attention• Twirl (below left) – is a playful clown – full of energy

Either one would do very well in a home being the one-and-only cat OR with another FeLV positive cat.

The Gift of Second Chances

by Barbara Techel, joyfulpaws.com

It is my belief that everything that hap-pens, happens for a reason. I may not always like some of the changes that occur, but when I look back, I can usu-ally see the divine purpose that was my guide in helping me learn something new.

So it was with Ted. While at a car show in Beaver Dam with his wife Dianne, Ted was not feeling quite himself. As they were about to leave for the day Ted said, “I just don’t feel well. I need to get out and walk around.” As Ted got out of the car he fell over. Dianne went into shock and everything around her became surreal.

Ted was not breathing and had no pulse. Lucky for him his guardian angels swooped in and saved his life. Near-by participants were able to resuscitate him. Ted was rushed to the hospital and had bypass surgery.

Recovering at home Ted was feeling a void. When they moved to their new home in Glenbeulah a few years ago, their dog Muffy, a Springer and Basset hound mix made the move with them, but passed away a few weeks later. Thinking a dog might be the answer, Ted began his search for a new furry friend to bring into his life.

He went from pound to pound looking for that “special one.” He ended up at the Fond du Lac humane society where he met Ruby. Though she was skin and bones and only weighed 55 pounds, he felt a connection with her.

I asked Ted what made her stand out. “She was not barking and was very calm. She was so docile and her colors were beautiful,” he said. Ruby had been there for eleven days.

The volunteers took Ruby outside as Ted watched. The girls were hugging and loving Ruby and she ate it up. Some people may be hesitant to do this be-cause of the stigma placed on certain breeds. Ruby happens to be a Dober-man. She is chocolate in color, with lighter shades of chocolate mixed in, and one of the most beautiful Dober-man’s I have ever seen. And there is just something about her that draws you right into her soul.

Ted was pretty sure this was the dog for him. He went home and told Dianne. They decided to bring Ruby into their life. When Ted went to pick her up he was handed pedigree papers for her, which surprised him. How did a pedi-gree dog end up in the pound?

During a baby shower at their home Ted watched as a young child pulled and tugged at Ruby’s ears and neck. She would whimper a bit, but never growled and remained the same sweet, docile

dog Ted observed a few weeks earlier.

That is when it occurred to him that Ruby might make a wonderful thera-py dog. He had wanted to give back ever since his life was saved. Now that he and Ruby had been given second chances, he felt this was what they were meant to do.

Since Ted had the pedigree papers he was able to contact the breeder of Ruby. Now call it coincidence if you want, but the breeder happened to live in Beaver Dam. As he talked with her he learned her dogs are registered therapy dogs. She also told him that Ruby was the pick of the litter. As a puppy she gave Ruby to a girlfriend for a show dog. A year and a half later that girlfriend gave Ruby away and that was how she end-ed up at the humane society. A divine purpose was at work as Ruby traveled many roads to her fi nal destination with Ted.

There was no doubt Ruby’s purpose, and soon she passed her Canine Good Citizen award. Ted then went to a ther-apy dog testing site one day simply to observe what had to be done to have Ruby become registered. He had no in-tentions of doing the test that day. But as he watched the other dogs he decid-ed on a whim to try with Ruby. He had a hunch she was a natural, and indeed she was. She passed with fl ying colors.

Ted and Ruby now visit nursing homes two to three times a week. They have made visits to Rocky Knoll, Arbor view, Pine Haven and Prairie Crossing. Many of the residents eagerly await their vis-it and won’t go to bed until they see Ruby. She also made the day of kids at a day-care in Plymouth, who welcomed meeting the large, gentle giant. Since June, Ruby and Ted have made over fi fty visits!

“Ruby knows she is priceless and we call her Diva” Ted said. Final proof of that is the night Ruby would not let Ted sleep. Ruby normally sleeps downstairs, but woke Ted with a constant pawing at the side of the bed. She’d leave after Ted’s scolding, only to return again and again. The last time she returned she put her paw on Ted’s chest intent on getting his full attention. So Ted fi nally got up, went downstairs and discovered the slow beep of the smoke alarm. As soon as he put in new batteries, Ruby was content to let Ted head back to bed, as she also snuggled in for the remainder of the night. Yes, I would absolutely agree that Ruby is priceless!

Using Therapeutic Grade Oils for Pets and Yourself.

by Linda Ledbeter, Animal Connections

Early in my training, I was in-troduced to the importance of the oils with the animals. I was skep-tical since I had spent money on products that were less than ben-efi cial for the purpose purchased, and ultimately my check book. In short I was leaning towards the term “Snake Oil.”

Since I was already practic-ing Healing Touch for people and expanding my training in Healing Touch for Animals, who was I to place Young Living Essential Oils in these category without knowing more about the product.

Money was short, my husband unemployed, and I was struggling to justify my career choice; I bit the bullet and became a distribu-tor. Th e founder of Healing Touch for Animals taught the proper use of YL Oils in the advanced classes when applying to the diff erent spe-cies, including the human animal. I needed to trust, but more im-portantly I need to experience the miraculous results outside of class. As the weeks turned into months, I became a true believer.

I watched how the animals re-sponded to the oils before my eyes, whether it was an illness, injury or

behavior. Now I travel with my oils as an essential tool of my trade.

Some of the most commonly used oils for;

Behavior/emotional/ nervous-ness:

Common Sense, Grounding, Valor, Peace and Calming, Sara, Palo Santo, Trauma Life,

Lavender, Joy, Sandalwood, Bergamot, Geranium.

Immune System: Frankin-cense, Lemon, Peppermint, Th yme, RC, Raven, Ravensara, Exodus II, Th ieves, Palo Santo, Rose.

Note: RC, Th ieves and Purifi -cation has been proven to kill bac-teria in Petri dishes. When RC or Th ieves is diff used in shelters, and homes, kennel cough and other vi-ruses including fl ues are less likely to spread. Healing time can be shortened up to 50%. Personally, I stopped my chronic sinus infection with the help of RC, and waved good-bye to the antibiotics!

Monty & His Success Story!

by Sue Richson, Dawgs In Motion

Monty had a possible spinal injury or stroke on October 18th. He was immedi-ately taken to a Veterinarian because he did not have use of any of his legs. Af-ter examination, the Vet concluded that the prognosis was not good. It was very likely that Monty would never regain the use of his legs ever again, although they agreed to give him some time. Another Veterinarian suggested that Monty try some swimming at Dawgs in Motion.

Dawgs in Motion has an in-ground pool that is heated to 86 degrees and of-fers non-impact exercise that is obtained in a controlled environment. The Vet thought the swimming might be worth a try since there was really nothing else they could do that would not require possible surgery or expensive testing to say the least.

When Monty arrived at our facility his owners carried him in on a towel. He could not stand at all. The Dawgs in Motion Staff proceeded to shower

him prior to entering the pool as theydo with every client. Monty was fi ttedwith a lifejacket and then placed in thepool. As soon as Monty felt the waterunder him, he started to move his legsalthough they were very weak. After his15-minute session with rests in betweeneach lap, Monty was very tired. With ev-ery additional session, the Dawgs in Mo-tion staff increased the resistance of hisswim. Monty in turn was building mus-cle in his legs, which had some atrophyfrom the lack of exercise since the injury.The swims helped keep him agile andactually feeling better too. Monty wouldget more excited about each swim ses-sion as time went on. By the 8th swimsession, Monty had begun to stand fora few moments. We are pleased to an-nounce that through the persistence ofMonty’s owners bringing him for swimsessions and Monty’s will to walk again,he is walking after 12 swim sessions! Heis presently climbing the stairs by him-self at home!

Congratulations Monty!!!!
