The case which has happened on hunting, has forced me to mention this complex theme. My husband with my younger son went on a bog. Came back from hunting. With them was Lada. Suddenly the husband has felt, that has come a leg on something alive. Having translated a sight at legs, it has seen a viper. A viper in attack. The leg of the husband stood on a tail of the snake. The length of a body allowed snake will rush to attack even from such inconvenient position. The husband skills and knowledge got during serve in army have rescued him. These special trainings remain with the person for all remained life. He has jumped aside an inconceivable jump. The snake has rushed to a grass. And Lada has rushed for the snake. Business of a dog to protect the person. Especially the owner. The favourite owner. My son did not see the snake. For it all event was unclear pantomime. It did not understand, why the father such terrible voice orders Lada to return. And why he began to examine Lada very quickly and carefully. When the father has explained to the son that has happened, they once again have closely examined a dog. Lada has executed a command and has returned earlier, than has found the snake. They have not found traces of a sting.
Snakes represent greater danger to dogs. In all wild animals there lives fear before snakes. They avoid any contacts to them. So the instinct orders it. Only threat to posterity can force to attack a wild animal the snake. And here at the majority of our dogs this instinct has already disappeared. They are not afraid of snakes. And many consider as their toy. It happened to you to see in shops for dogs of a toy in the form of snakes? I never buy such toys. Also I do not advise it to do by what dogs happen on the nature. The dog that was bitten by the snake is in very big danger. At it it is a lot of chances to be lost. And business not only that at a sting at a dog often there comes a paralysis of the respiratory center. There are still more many very important reasons. More often snakes I bite dogs in a head, a stomach and paws. Poison of the snake causes not only extensive hypostases, morbidity and reddening. Poison of the snake still change quality of blood. And it in turn can cause an internal bleeding. And with it practically nothing can be made in field conditions. And if the sting has had in a neck the hypostasis can simply strangle your dog. Not speaking already about allergic reactions. At stings impacts of pulse become frequent, appear the complicated breath, vomiting and a paralysis. The dog perishes in some hours. Sometimes in addition lives during one-two day. Certainly, is better to have to hunters spcial whey. That approaches, that is applied to people. At a sting it is entered to dogs under leather in quantity of 30-50 ml. But not always probably to have such whey. Well helps solution novocaini 0,5 %. It enter in several places above a place of a sting. Thus it is necessary for dog to give the preparations protecting from an allergy. At stings at a dog there comes strong weakness. The ancient way of struggle against such weakness is known. Dog force to drink a small amount spirit means cognac, vodka, rum to which adds 5-7 drops of liquid ammonia. To a dog do not allow to go most. It bear. Protect forces of a dog for struggle against poison. As you can be helped by preparations of homeopathy. They are convenient at transportation and do not occupy a lot of place. At stings use arnica Montana and nux vomica 200 potentialities. First three hours after a sting give a dog on three peas each fifteen minutes. The following three hours of a medicine give each half an hour. Then each hour. After times at three hours. The following three days give a medicine three times a day. Also reduce a potentiality with 200 up to 30. Two years back this recipe have been checked up in practice by our friends. By the end of the second day at a dog attributes of an indisposition were gone all. To the doctor they could allocate a dog only for the third day after a sting. By then the dog was absolutely healthy. In parallel they gave homeopathy of a dog preparations hearts supporting work and reducing allergic reactions.
By the way, these homoeopathist means can help and to the hunter. At any trauma use arnica Montana 200 potentialities. At bullet wounds, at cuts, bruises. And nux vomica 200 it is used at any poisonings. At food, alcoholic and chemical. And to whom done not happen after unsuccessful hunting to drink pair-other a wine-glass of vodka and to have a snack their mushrooms?…
But is better to avoid to you a meeting with the snake. And it is possible to learn a dog are afraid of snakes. Here for these purposes the toy snake will approach. I shall do it. I never was afraid of snakes. Here already it is a lot of years to us carried. At anybody from our family and our close friends done not happen terrible histories with snakes. I not seriously enough concerned to this problem. Yes, I heard stories of hunters about the dogs bitten by snakes. Remembered, that it is necessary to do thus. I trust these people. At them very much a wide experience. And only now, when my close people and a dog managed to avoid the big trouble, I have very seriously thought of this problem. Also has solved, that it is better to not treat dogs. It is better to teach them to rules of a survival in the nature.

Have you paid attention, how toys of our children vary? Before it were dolls, balls, wooden figures. Now to them various clockwork machines, television hookups have increased. Progress prevails. And it is necessary for the child of that it would be guided in this artificial world is better. At dogs toys too have changed. Before it were every stick, balls, greater bones, machine trunks. Now to them specially made figures have increased. Figures of various animals and things. Here again progress prevails. But whether it helps our dogs to be guided better in this world? It is amusing to see, how the dog “gnaws” a toy boot or a sandwich. As it battles to a toy body of the hen or the goose. Or drags behind itself a sheaf of sausages. Toy sausages. But we underestimate analytical abilities of dogs. It is possible to play houses with the hen who is very similar on true. And why it is impossible to play with true? The dog does not understand, for what punish it. With these sausages it is possible. And with others it is impossible. Where logic? In fact sausages sometimes have a different kind and differently smell. Where fault of a dog if it “has played” with your dinner. With sausages or with a sandwich. Certainly, it is possible for it to explain, that its toys lay only in a box on a floor. But I prefer not to buy provocative toys for dogs. In this artificial world dogs require natural reference points. They in fact live in a real life. And these toys can even harm them.
Comments of Kira: and so why you have hidden a toy which we were presented by aunt Natasha…

We have familiar family. About five years ago they have conceived to get divorced. But, as they had boxer Gera, they could not make it easily. Everyone did not wish to remain without a dog. They discussed this theme, solved this question for a long time. The situation has become complicated that Gera was going to become mum. Anybody from spouses did not wish to excite Gera. There were small puppies. And divorce should be postponed for uncertain time. It was necessary to grow up puppies in the beginning and after to attach puppies. One puppy was very small. They have named it Noya. They have left it with its mum. Many time and forces was required to grow up Noya. Both the husband and the wife were full of determination to make as much as possible for Noya. They loved dogs. They had two adult dogs. On the one hand, all problems are solved. Two dogs share for two people without the rest. But there was a new complexity. How to separate mum and the daughter? While they solved a problem of preservation of family of dogs, their daughter was born. As it has appeared nobody wanted divorce. All recollected divorce, as about the past. And when they had the second child and the third dog, they do not recollect divorce at all. They have no time and forces on it. All their forces and their love they give to children and dogs. They love dogs. Also they love each other. It is amicable and happy family. I do not represent them without each other. It is good, that they had Gera.
By the way, in some countries the right of former spouses to visiting of dogs after divorce is legislatively fixed. I think it is a good law. It is a pity, that we have no it in my country. This law protects love, the person’s love, the dog’s love. And it teaches to respect feelings to each other.
Comments of Kira: We, dogs, are that sticky and sticky substance which does yours of destiny stronger, and showers are softer. You, people, do not wish to admit love to each other. You are afraid to trust. You are afraid to appear defenceless from other person. You are afraid to appear dependent on other person. But you would like to love and be favourite very much. It is good, when you have dogs or may be when you have cats. Then you presume to show to yourselves love to the favourite. At the same time, as though accidentally, to transfer it on the close people. It seems to you safely so. Always it is possible to pretend, that it heat intended not to the close person. It has casually touched him. And you do not require anybody. You are very independent. What for these games to you? Only it seems to you, that a life is long. The life starts to terminate from next minute after a birth. May be, is better play cheerful games. For example, in love?…

Interesting fact, that government of Italy have opened for dogs the real beach on coast of Mediterranean sea. There the dog can lead with the owner all the day: to play a ball, to run without freely and to bathe. To have a rest and to sunbathe it is possible in a special chaise lounge. And after bathing to an animal will give out a towel. In a bar - the rich menu of forages. As the miss in dog paradise the unique document - the certificate on inoculations serves. It also serves as the insurance.
I do not know, is it truth or not. I was not on such beach. But I have tried to imagine, as though I gathered for it. If I was a dog and gathered for a beach, I should not take a special cream for sunburn. Shampoo is not necessary to me. And a styling gel. Both tonic. And a deodorant. The glasses protecting eyes from the sun would be absolutely not necessary to me. And beach slippers to me would be nonsense. I would not have problems with a bathing suit. At me it would not be a bathing suit. A problem of excess weight? Not at me! I have a small tummy? Means, I was good mum! At me not so vigorous look? And what for to do a vigorous look if you have thawn on the sun? It is not necessary to do a vigorous look. It is necessary to search shadow. And to be rescueed in shadow. The overheat is more dangerous to a dog, than an overheat for the people. Means, the umbrella is necessary. A usual umbrella. Only the biggest size. Leaves, that only umbrella is necessary for a campaign on a beach for a dog. And laying it is possible to manage a chaise lounge, if there is a soft grass or pure sand. And what for then a beach if with yourself you bear « an artificial shadow »? Paradox.
If to speak seriously I am very glad, that there is a beach for dogs. Not everyone can bring the pet on lonely small river. That the dog could swim for a while, gambol in plenty freely and have a rest. In fact our dogs get tired of noise and it is not less bad air of city, than we. And rest too is very necessary for them. What and further to be near to us. Helping the presence to us to live in this complex artificial world. Helping not to forget, that there is still a real life. And the real friends.

Day has appeared under tragical circumstances in our house. Day is a hybrid of the wolf and the sheep-dog. Day’s history is full of adventures and tragic element. Its mum lived in village. And it has run away in a wood in the winter. All have solved that it was lost. But she has returned in a week. And then it puppies were born in two months. From all puppies has survived only two. Puppies Mum was good, but their owner was not such. The owner has presented someone оne puppy and I know nothing about its destiny more. And the owner has left Day to himself. When Day was one year old, the owner has found somewhere the lost dog and has removed from it a collar. I do not wish to make comments on this act. The God is his judge. But the owner has not stopped on it. It has dressed this collar to Day. I think, nobody will surprise, that problems with Days health have begun quickly. The owner has not thought to address to the doctor for the help. When Day’s body has turned to a continuous ulcer, the owner has addressed for the help to my husband. He knew that my husband is the hunter. He has asked my husband to kill Day. My husband has redeemed Day at the owner. My husband has brought a dog home. It is sadly to me to recollect this history. It was more ten years ago. I remember what, Days look was. It had very simple disease - deprive. Deprive with a rare kind but giving in to treatment. We have rescued a dog. I think, we were helped by strong immunity of the dog, got to it from the wolf. I am not assured that any dog could survive in such condition and to recover so fast. But in two months we could give Day to people who have started to build a cottage. I hope that the further destiny of a dog has developed successfully. And I till now regret, that could not leave Day to myself. It was a good dog. But wolf’s habits looked through in all. It not willingly communicated with another’s dogs. It ignored them. And another’s dogs were afraid of Day. I did not go to walk Day on the dog platform. We walked Day in a field far behind the city. Then we lived on to edge of city and we had such opportunity. Day behaved not how dogs in a field behave. It lowered a head as the wolf. It investigated all field a method of “shuttle”. It found many hares. But, for some reason, Day always implicitly responded to call. Was enough loud to call it and it immediately stopped a pursuit. It seems to me, that it has understood very well, from what trouble we have rescued it. It did not pay attention to something in the city. It was not interested in people at a stop which was loudly indignant that there is a wolf. It was not interested in escaping cats. It was not disturbed with squeal of brakes of cars when stopped to find out, whether the truth is the wolf. It went with the owner. And all of its attention has been concentrated to its owner. And its look unequivocally spoke, that it will allow nobody even to look at the owner badly. It has implicitly recognized Ara’s leadership of the House. During that time Ara had puppies and Day did not challenge Ara’s authority at all. Day concerned with tenderness to Masha. Day liked to concern with its nose. It was similar to kisses. It was pleasant to Masha too. The kind of Chita (it was dwarfish dog) has surprised Day. Day has not understood who it was: Adult dog ог the puppy or may be it is not a dog in general. Day preferred to let Chita pass. Day was in general friendly. I do not know what it became after. It was a pity to us to leave it, we liked Day very much, in a consequence we were never solved even to call to its new owners. What was a nice dog! I am glad, that it was in our life, in our house. And I am very glad, that I could tell you about it.

I consider what to hold houses of wild animals, at least, not humanely. In my mind to hold wild animals in the house, at least, it is not humanely. I am against their maintenance in the house. Their house is a wood, a field, open space … But sometimes the life solves on another way. There were squirrel, hedgehog and a hybrid of the wolf and the sheep-dog in my house. The first in my life has appeared squirrel. It was a long time ago. I was 16 years old. My younger sister has brought squirrel to our home from school. Our school was closed on a vacation and someone should take care of squirrel. That why my sister has brought squirrel to home. I did not meet more stupid essence in my life. We have solved, that it is not humane to hold squirrel in a cage. It has limited freedom. Squirrel ran on apartment. It was not afraid of people. It did not concern to people with due respect. People were only convenient transport for it. It liked to jump on the person from above and to go on him. And it did not disturb at all, that such behaviour do not like people. When it has tried to train, it has bitten through the big finger on a hand to my friend. It has brought an infection in a wound. My friend was ill more than month. Everybody has started to be afraid of my squirrel after this case. And when it has run away through a door of the open balcony, all were only glad. I do not wish to tell lies; I shall tell fairly, anybody has not gone to search squirrel at all. I am not against squirrel. These are lovely essences. But I recollect with shudder that squirrel till now. I do not wish to see more these charming monsters in my house.
My friends have presented me a hedgehog. More truly, have presented on birthday to my son. I do not know what bad we have made for them? They have not told us “why”. But to present the hedgehog in the house where there lived three dogs it is possible only as revenge. The hedgehog was engaged in revenge. It was in 1993. Since then the world was shaken with many terrible events. And if hedgehog has presented us in 2003, I would name it kamikaze or the condemned man. It was the fearless hedgehog, and it revenged fearlessly. But for some reason object of revenge it has chosen our dogs. Poor ours boxer Masha. It was the kindest essence. Very quiet, defenceless essence. With very gentle soul and a body. The hedgehog played with her so. When Masha fell asleep, it crept to her back. Crept with special way - a backing. There was with sleepy Masha close back to back and sharply included a backing. Poor Masha! To feel an injection at least ten prickles!.. That occurred further, try to imagine. But since then Masha long tried to fall asleep or on a sofa or having hidden a back in any corner. The hedgehog liked to not admit Ara to a bowl with meal. Ara was very severe dog. Big, strong, terrible! But it was very well trained dog. She understood, that those who lives in the house - friends, and it is impossible to offend them. And how you will offend the hedgehog? More shortly when my husband has brought the hedgehog to a forest we have arranged a real holiday. I do not wish to see hedgehogs in my house. Only in the country house in the evenings as receiving visitors.

Now Dan has a problem with his weight more truly, with loss of his weight. The analysis of his blood was good. I have started to make to Dan a rate of injections of vitamin B. This method has helped Grey. But to Dan is not. I thought a long time what can I do. That happens. Then I have seen that Dan painfully reacts to touches in the field of kidneys. Then it became clear, where a source of a problem. If kidneys the organism does not acquire a protein inflame. The protein is removed with urine from an organism. And the animal starts to grow thin quickly and strongly. I began to give Dan broths of diuretic grasses and homeopathist means (cantharides, silicea and arnica Montana), necessary at problems with kidneys… I have entered into a diet products with a large content of a protein. All yielded excellent results. Dan began to come to norm. I want to make even better. I have bought dry forage with the raised contents of a protein. And it was a mistake. The dry forage at all does not suit for a dog, at which problem with kidneys. Even forage of the best mark. Even in a small amount. It is good, that I attentively watched Dan. At the slightest deterioration of a condition of Dan I have cleaned dry forage from the menu. And Dan began to recover again. Its states of health began to improve. It began to collect weight. It has not recovered yet, but his health improves every day.

Do not leave dogs in your car sending in the nearest pub. Such mistake was made by a certain inhabitant of Canada. The dog sat-sat, and then from boredom has suddenly started his car! While it moved down on roads from a hill, the casual pedestrian has seen the car with black dog driving it and has called police.
Policemen at once have arrived on a place. There they have found out the lorry standing in the middle road and blocking traffic. The dog was still sitting as a driver of a car. As a result of incident anybody including “driver”, has not suffered. However, while remains not clear as the dog could learn rules of traffic.
And our dogs could suit to themselves the true party. On an integrated poultry farm located in the next small town, there was an accident. There have switched off electricity. The part of production has become unfit for use. Conditions of storage of meat have been disturbed. After that meat could not be started up in realization for people. But it was suitable for feeding dogs. Farmers knew, that we have a plenty of dogs. They sold it under very low price. Therefore workers of factory have called to us and have suggested buying from them this production. We were delighted very much. Not often it is possible to indulge our pets. We have bought a lot of meat. Three hundred kg. We have brought it home. My husband and I began to unload the car. Have brought home first two boxes, have put them on kitchen. We have followed other boxes. While we went to the car and have returned, dogs could close a door of an apartment from within. They have closed it on an internal latch. While we tried to open a door, they divided two boxes of a hen. There where two boxes on twelve kg. It means Twenty four kg of a hen on four dogs. And then they ate them with huge appetite. Loudly champing and crackling bones. And we heard all. And we could make nothing because we have a reliable door. And it was completely not simple to open it. When we have got in an apartment, I have not found out my dogs. Try to imagine the dog in which six kg of meat lays. And now try to imagine such four dogs sitting next with each other …. They sat because to stand they could not any more. Their paws caved in from weight. And eyes were closed. And in their eyes full intoxication was visible only. They fell asleep. They wished to sleep only. But dogs have not fallen asleep because the God punishes those who eat much and me too. The most part of that night we have lead in the street on the dog platform. Thanks you, my dear dogs, for superb night!
The most terrible in this history these: when we left to unload the car, the Barbarian slept in a children’s room. The handle of a door of this room is the round form. And the Barbarian cannot open it. It could not accept participation in this party. It sat under a door and loudly barked. It was in fury when we have let out it from a room. I have given the Barbarian the hen from a new box.
Comments of Kira: well why all the most interesting has happened before my birth!…

Every year dictates a new fashion in clothes to us. Every spring people (especially the best half of mankind) open doors of cases and understand that they have resolutely nothing to dress.
All of this has already got out of fashion, morally has become outdated. Dog lovers do not have such problems. Thanks for it to our pets. In the beginning of each season dog lovers (especially their best half) opens doors of cases and understands, that they can dress only jeans, summer trousers or bridges. You can put on your shorts not every day. If you cheerfully plaid about your favourite yesterday the problem of a choice «mini» or «maxi» does not exist for you the nearest week. Bruises on your legs have solved all. Kapron stockings are badly compatible to cats and dogs of fine breeds. The stockings do not maintain “close” dialogue with your smaller brothers. During a seasonal moult of your house miracle you are forced to refuse light clothes. You can carry all clothes from a thin material. But to meet your dog which weighs 50 kg, I do not recommend for you. You should choose what to put on trial: feelings of a dog to which do not allow expressing the pleasure to the full, or your new thing which obviously is not calculated on such loadings. Certainly, if you have well trained dog, you have considerably less problems. You can walk it even in footwear on high heels, in a miniskirt. And in the thinnest stockings which can be in the world. But it should be dark tones if your pet fades. And clothes from a fabric of type of a velvet and velveteen are impossible, even if yours dog is the champion on trainings. I prefer jeans, trousers, sports shirts and not so trained, but direct dog near to me. I do not like dogs-biorobots. And may be, I simply search for justifications to myself. Simply I put things in order in the case today. Cleaned old things and removed the moth. I have understood that practically all my clothes are sustained in practical, sports style. It is a little sad. But it is convenient very much.
Comments of Kira: There is no meter to be sad! Superfluous overalls is superfluous problems. Do, as your husband advises you: throw away from a case all your old cloths and from your head - silly ideas.

I have a silver boxer. It is Varvara. She is 10 years old and shi is gray-haired. But we don’t want to call her gray-haired, we call her “silver” girl. The old dog always caused in me special feelings. The dog, who has given all life to me, is worth the biggest attention. Her sight is not so good. She has problems with hearing. Metabolism is not in the best form too. Some dogs grow thin strongly and lose appetite. Varvara has gone another way. She began to increase the weight. Now the main task for Varvara - to eat something once again. If she will notice, that somebody has gone on kitchen, she runs after him. At this time she looks as a dog that is ready to fall in a hungry faint. We especially for this purpose have prepared crackers. Usual dietary bread cut slices and dried it up. And now, when Varvara looks at us especially hungry eyes, she receives a cracker. I have never had such soft and chubby dog. Thus Varvara tries to be always near to me. It seems to me, that thus she tries to provide to herself guarantees, that if she will have a problem, she will be helped to solve it. She does not feel ready to solve all the problems any more. Now she allows caring of herself. She accepts any care. She was very independent dog before. She behaved as the puppy only with the owner. She played any games. Overturned on a back, allowing the owner to scratch her stomach. Jumped with joy at a meeting of the owner. For all others she showed faultless manners of behaviour of the lady. And now it is simple very kind house dog. She actively searches for contact to any person. Willingly accepts the help from any person. I understand that events develop correct by. That any organism all over again is born, develops and after dies away. It is correct. But for me sadly to see, that the peak of blossoming for Varvara has already passed.
Comments of Kira: She is my mother.
