Fall 2009
You readers are great to help with advice when I ask so here I go....All three of our Cocker Spaniels have had skin rashes all summer long. We have spent a lot on money on vet care and meds but the rash just keeps coming back. It looks like small patches of crust scattered all over the dogs. It seems to get a lot worse just after grooming. The vet just keeps saying it is some type of allergic rash. Does anyone of you know any safe home remedies to try? We are afraid to keep giving our dogs these powerful antibiotics and steroids one after another. If you have any ideas please contact me at jimchapman739@msn.com Thanks.
Right now seems to be the perfect time to work with your dog on agility. The cool days are perfect for running and jumping so don\'t wait too long because it is going to get cold. Then it is really hard to go out to play. Right??
Dogs can be your best friend now more than ever because they sure feel good laying across your lap. Especially when its really cold out and you are watching tv! It\\\'s hard to beat that kind of warmth. I don\\\'t know if its the actual heat or the love and companionship. But in any case, it is great in my opinion! The only problem is-it is hard to get up when your favorite dog is nettled on your lap and you really want to get up.
The walks now are full of leaves and the squirrels that are brave enough to shoot across the trail right in front of all three dogs. Walks in the fall are the best! If you don\'t walk regularly at least do it in the fall as much as you can. It shouldn\'t be missed.
Let me thank all of you people that clicked on the eBay ads on this page. When you buy something on eBay after clicking on the ad from this page, even if it\'s something not advertised on the ads here, I get a share of eBay\'s fees. It doesn\'t cost you another cent. When I get it, I take it to the Humane Society. Our local branch of the humane society is really underfunded right now and thanks to you great people we donated $50 last month!! Thank you all.
Many emails are asking where people can find a local agility training club or agility trainer. If you go to www.akc.org , you can do a search and find many great local clubs that are sanctioned by the AKC. If you have trouble, send me an email. I will do my best to help you find a great local club or trainer.
Thanks again for stopping by. And check out the eBay auctions for some great deals on agility training gear. If you are not registered with eBay, just click on the item you are interested in and when you try to bid, you will be guided through the very simple sign up process.
I did not mean to get so far off the dog topic but most dog lovers are just good people. It is true. Thanks for your interest and please let me hear from you when you have any suggestions or comments.
See You in the Agility Trials!
Preparing for Emergency Vet Care
