The dog beach in Italy.

August 4th, 2006

Relax

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.

What dogs can

July 21st, 2006

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!…

Dogs dictate a fashion.

July 18th, 2006

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.

THE FIRST EXPERIENCE

July 7th, 2006

People often make a mistake when choose a dog for the first time. People use not those criteria which are really important in this question. Often the main role plays appearance of a dog. People have long discussions as their pet should appear. Whether it should be fluffy or not, white or black, big or small. The majority of people think that if they live in a small apartment also their dog should be small. But the small choleric dog occupies more places, than the big phlegmatic dog. The important role is played with a fashion on breeds. But the fashion on the certain breed to lasts three-five years. Then one fashionable breed is replaced by another one. But dogs live ten-twelve years. And many fashionable pedigree attributes hide in themselves the certain problems with health and mentality. The some people think that if they cannot devote much time to a dog it is necessary to get a small dog. Forgetting, that a small dog is big efforts too. Determining what a dog should be - small defenseless or big and courageous, people do not reflect, that the big size of a dog does not protect dogs from the same problems with health. I would advise to give more attention in this question to such concept, as “breed”. Try to find out as much as possible about the breed which has interested you. It would be quite good, if you would study some breeds. Would find out their history. Would find out for what mankind has invented this breed. What working qualities of dogs are incorporated in this breed? In fact this moment will play very important role in behavior of your pet. You should study an anatomic structure of the given breed attentively. Usually behind anatomic features problems with health are hidden. Short muzzle - problems with breath and as the consequence big loadings on heart, means problems with heart. Dog large - the problems. For the first year of a life it is necessary for puppy to increase weight of the body a hundred times. The puppy is born weight in 500 gram, and by a year it already should weigh fifty kg. Usually joints have not time to be formed so quickly. Joints lag behind in growth. Therefore large dogs often have problems with joints: such as arthritis. Excessive amount of folds of a skin - new problems. Any wound serves as the open door for an infection. The result - the growth of risk of the infectious diseases, the lowered immunity. To the person who is not engaged professionally in dogs, it is difficult to understand such things. It is better to ask to consult the person who is engaged in cultivation of the given breed. It is desirable to receive consultations of several experts. Because, in my opinion, the cynologistic is a set of subjective opinions which develop in an objective estimation. It would be good to communicate to some representatives of the given studied breed. After dialogue with dogs you will understand about what cynologists spoke you. And only after you have determined with breed, it is possible to pass to a choice of the puppy. It is very difficult to tell looking on the puppy what character will be at it, when it will become an adult dog. Formation of a dog depends on a plenty of factors. But it is possible to define the type of temperament. And it is very important. The dog with mobile temperament (the choleric or the sanguine) will more suit the amateur of morning jogs than the amateur of fishing. To study so diligently a question of a choice of a dog, it is necessary to spend a lot of time. Even some months. Even a year. But the dog will be near to you twelve years. And you can make these years happy or fill them with never-ending problems.

Comments from Kira: it is possible to think even three years what you want a dog. But when you meet YOUR dog, you forget about everything. And your happiness does not have borders….

Allergy.

June 30th, 2006

You never suffered an allergy? What’s a pity. You would not understand, what this torture for whole organism. All body is scratched, and simultaneously in several places. And what pleasure to be scratched! BUT, it will be bad after. To the person it is possible to tell strictly: “Not scratched! It will be worse!” And to a dog? Well you will shout at it: “Stop!” And it will climb under a table and continue to scratch itself! And the irritation increases next day. It is possible to give tablets, certainly. But it is not the best decision. Before treating, it is necessary to find out, that causes an allergy in your pet. Someone cannot eat a chicken, someone milk or a fish. And somebody can eat nothing. Though, as practice has shown, dogs do not have almost an allergy on a potato, and at cats on fig. At revealing allergen the sequence is important. It is necessary to exclude consistently products from a diet of your pet one by one. The product which causes an allergy will not be found yet. It is necessary to remember, that there can be many allergens. It is desirable to check up the whole list of products. And already if to you has not carried also your pupil suffers a food allergy, you should show backbone. Any product in the menu of your pet is entered very cautiously. In the beginning in a very small amount. And only if you are sure, that it approaches your pet, only then it can be used constantly and to try new.
My experience helps me to find quickly enough improper products for my dogs. And I have noticed some interesting things. If a new product into a diet of puppies to enter together with a pumpkin or vegetable marrows practically there is no allergy and problems a stomach. If I plan to have puppies in the winter or in the spring, I always prepare a plenty of vegetable marrows and pumpkins. For these purposes completely ripened vegetables, with a firm crust approach only. And one more supervision. If at your dog a healthy stomach and at it insignificant attributes of an allergy have appeared, instead of a tablet it is possible to use juice of a lemon (8-10 drops) together with calcium.

UNCHECKED HISTORY

June 17th, 2006

Polar explorers love their pets - penguins very much. And care of this birds. There is a special work at polar station: “The person who overturns penguins”. The problem consists in the following. Penguins are very curious. And rather silly. They are not able to make a conclusion. Their natural conditions of life are not variety. Therefore, presence of people is dangerous for them. If the penguin has fallen to a back, it cannot turn over. It is arranged so anatomically. In natural conditions it falls only on a stomach. The penguin appears in a difficult situation when it has fallen to a back. But their curiosity is stronger than fear of danger. They come whole the company on station to observe, when something occurs at station. All is safe, if the car passes or the plane arrives. The problem arises, if the plane flies up. Penguins observe of plane when it flies up very attentively. Penguins that are at the rate of the plane fall on a back when the plane passes a point of zenith. And “the person who overturns penguins” is hurry to help poor birds.
This history is pleasant to me very much. Even if it is thought up.

SPRING PROBLEM

June 5th, 2006

The struggle with intestinal worms is actual problem for pets owners in summer. It is necessary to do it in time and to not delay problem until pet will be seriously ill. Make a complex of preventive actions regularly. Consult to the doctor when you choose a medicine. Traditional medicines: garlic and seeds of a pumpkin.

EXHIBITION OF CATS

May 30th, 2006

I have been very much surprised, when have visited an exhibition of cats for the first time. It was not similar to an exhibition of dogs. Exhibitions of dogs always pass very dynamically. All goes, all works. Some rings work. Owners and their dogs run on these rings, showing moving of dogs. All participants stop on a sign of the judge for survey of a bearing of dogs. And movements again to give the possibility for expert to compare dogs. Different categories of dogs replace on a ring each other. Puppies try to break all rules. Their owners try to calm down their pets. All rustles, all goes, all lives…
The exhibition of cats has surprised me with the calmness. Cats sit in the exhibition cage. Their owners talk with each other slowly near cages. Behind a separate table the expert works. The assistant brings him cats for survey. Everything is rather silent, respectable, slow… Velvet pillows for cats lay in cages. Cats play with motley toys in “small houses”. Owners are dressed very solemnly. Women in shoes on a high heel. They presume to make to themselves a solemn make-up and a solemn hairdress. There are no people in the sports suits which have sweated from fast run. I even have little envied cats. They should do nothing. Neither to run, nor to stand in the exhibition rack, to be obedient. Cats need to be oneself. To fun in cages. If it is became sad - to sleep. Cats should suffer only when they will be attributed to the expert for the description. Their owners do not demand anything from pets. They simply love the cats. I envied cats until have visited an exhibition of decorative rabbits. Rabbits do not get out of cages at all…. I have understood that everything is relative in the world.

THE DAY BEFORE EXHIBITION

May 29th, 2006

The cynologic exhibition is not only holiday. It is also very intense day. But day before an exhibition is even more intense. You are preparing for an exhibition. You are trying to make all correctly. To prepare the pet correctly. To collect things it is correct. To find a correct way. I can not give advice on a question of preparation of your pet. Everyone has own requirements in this question. Especially I can not advise you in a choice of a route. But I can advise that it is necessary to take with you on an exhibition. Take care of the clothes for some days before an exhibition. Think, that you should dress. The clothes should be convenient, not prevent to move. It is desirable, that it would not be rumpled also it would not easy to smear your clothes. Color of clothes is very important. It should be contrast with color of your pet. It would be useful on a ring, that your pet would look on your background more effectively. But color should not be very bright. Not to distract attention of the judge from your dog. It will be useful to take with you an umbrella if the exhibition passes open-air. Very different unexpected situations can happen at an exhibition. It is necessary to be reserved by cloths and napkins. Do not forget to take a hairbrush for the owner and a brush for a dog. To take a bowl for a dog and a glass for the owner. Water for both of you. It is necessary to take a meal. Both for a dog, and for the owner. Laying and cell for a dog and a chair for the owner. A favourite toy for a dog. Medicines calming nerves for the owner. The camera or the chamber. Do not forget to take necessary documents, some money and your dog.

Comments of Kira: yes, do not forget your dog….

Allergy on the owner.

May 20th, 2006

All of us have heard about heavy forms of dog or act wool allergy. And now about animal allergies. People realize the gravity of this problem. Therefore they attentively watch the animals’ reactions. But very few people know that animals, too, can have allergy. Allergy for the owner. The owner of the animal does not guess that he can be a source of problems for his pet. The smell of the owner can become the reason for itching at the animal, diarrhea, an allergic rhinitis and other problems. Sometimes it is enough for the owner to change his habitual shampoo or soap and the dog starts scratching its ears. The owner stops smoking - a cat stops casting its wool. One of my friends, an owner of a sheep-dog, suffered from heavy allergy. She noticed that after using aerosol to remove an allergic attack, her dog did not approach her some days. If the dog was made to join the master, next day he started sneezing heavily. It isn’t difficult for us to help our pets. That will do if you protect them from injuring situations. And for this purpose you have to be attentive to those whom you love, to our pets.
