How to Battle Anti Breeder Legislation Around the US [caption id="attachment_14021" align="alignleft" width="446"] Jennifer Clark joins fanciers at an event in Washington DC.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Jennifer Clark, AKC director of legislative outreach, to talk about legislation in Oregon and what's happening elsewhere in the country and why it matters that fanciers get involved. “For those who are not in Oregon, or may not have been following it,” Clark said, “what this bill basically said initially is that the state has to start regulating anyone who breeds and sells in the state. So if you sell one dog, you suddenly have to be regulated. We don't have any idea what these regulations are going to be. “That was a huge concern for us because why should someone who's breeding and raising one litter in their home be regulated and inspected by the state? A lot of times in states when they're regulating breeders, it's on a commercial level. They're regulating the large commercial facilities or people who are doing this professionally and not those who are hobbyists or financiers. “And there are very specific guidelines that are often in place, such as drainage in your floors and kennel setups and temperature records. All these things like flooring are great if you have a large kennel building, but what if that's your living room? Then how are you going to be able to comply? Does that mean I have to tear up my carpet because it can't be completely sanitized? Do I have to put a drainage system in my laundry room? And does that mean that state has to come in and inspect my kitchen because that's where the whelping pen is. How do we handle these questions? So that was a huge concern. AKC Government Relations, NAIA, local clubs and fancier reaction resulted in an amendment to state ‘more than two litters,' Clark added and the bill is currently not passed into law. You can track legislation in your state with AKCGR's fantastic tool HERE.

And that is what's going to make the difference to them because you are the ones that are going to be directly impacted. You are the ones who are going to vote, and that's why they need to hear from you. And that's why we've seen any change on this bill at all. And that's why it's slowed down a bit is because of everyone who has written in and called. And we hope that you'll continue to do so,” Clark said. AKCGR is holding a legislative conference to help people learn how to interact on this type of legislation. The conference is scheduled in St. Louis on Saturday, June 14. “We will give updates on legislation around the country, provide fun, interactive sessions on how to be effective advocates for your dogs and our sport, and discuss how clubs can make a difference in their community,” Clark noted.

Are pricey bespoke guns worth their stratospheric prices? My friend and Field & Stream's shotgun editor Phil Bourjaily has an answer and he should know. He's been writing on the subject for decades and now we get the lowdown. Phil also shares what he looks for (and so should we) when buying any shotgun, the joys and limitations of heavy and light guns, grouse hunting with a Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel, and the real reason shotguns were originally engraved. We'll also cover Phil's hunting season, reminisce about some dogs, and get sound advice on hunting strategy. "Fix It" covers a way to dial down your dog's energy level to make training more productive, and listeners offer suggestions for our reading list in honor of World Book Day.

Martin was one of the first guests we had on the show when we launched over 8 years ago and we are so glad to have had the chance to talk to him again. In this conversation Martin shares the story of Sammy the Cocker Spaniel, who had a very rough go but wound up living to an estimated age of 18 with love and care. Since that time Martin has been instrumental in spreading the word about other animal neglect and abuse cases and helping many of these animals get a happy ending too.

Ep. 184: In this solo Q&A, I'm giving you all the IVF updates—what's working, what's frustrating, and the little rituals I never expected to care about (yes, Arnold is involved). I'll share the one wellness rule I swore I'd never follow, why I'm suddenly rethinking caffeine and ice water, and how I'm handling the emotional side of this process. Plus, we need to talk about baby names—because I think I've decided, but now I'm second-guessing everything. Let's chat! Leave Me a Message - click here! For Mari's Instagram click here!

Timdavisonline (00:51.184) All right. Hey everybody, Tim Davis here and today on the coaching tip, I'm going to give you how I use social media to generate a massive amount of leads. And look, there's lots of ways to do it on social media. There's plenty of classes and seminars you can go to, and they're all great. Not taking anything away from them. I just want to tell you what's been working for me. And I know it will work for you because we can put the cookies really low on the shelf. And when we do that, everybody has a chance to eat and win. So here's the deal. It's called social media, not, give me a loan today media. Timdavisonline (01:21.066) And because it's called social media, stick with the social part quite a bit. Probably 90 % of what I post is social related. It's things that I'm doing that I'm having fun with, hobbies, interests, but for me, hands down, it's the pets. I've got two German Shepherds and a Cocker Spaniel. The German Shepherds far and away are social media superstars and I can take a picture and post of the German Shepherds and I can get lots of comments and lots of hits. Here's one thing about social media. One of the things that go viral, why is humor? Timdavisonline (01:51.574) so I posted a picture one day of me and Landry, she's my female German shepherd. went over to Chick-fil-A and she had this wide look in her mouth when I got that bag of chicken nuggets. And I was like, man, this is what happens when you take your best girl out to get some Jesus chicken. Well, that, that post went crazy, right? People were commenting on it. I love Landry and I love Chick-fil-A or whatever the case was. Here's what I do to convert that into. Timdavisonline (02:15.47) referrals and opportunities. actually wrote a book on this called Conversations Equal Contracts. And if you ever come to one of my events, you're going to be saying conversation equal contracts to the point you're going to want to get a tattoo on your forearm that says conversations equal contracts, because it's true. At some point you've got to talk to people, right? You can try to avoid it all day long, but if you're going to win, you've got to have conversations. So these people are commenting on this post and I'm seeing them and I'm like, Hey, I think I'll call this one. And I think I'll call that one. And I literally pick up the phone and call them. Timdavisonline (02:44.76) And lot of times I'll just go to their Facebook profile and if their phone number's in there, it's just two clicks, boom, they're on the phone. And I just have a conversation with them like, Hey Susan, Joe, Bill, how's it going? And they're like, my God, I was just on your social media looking at Landry. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you know, she's fine. And we just have a conversation and it is strictly relationship building. I'll ask them probing questions, see if there's anything going on. And if I've got a need in my life, I'm going to ask them to help me with it. I might say, Hey, you know what? Timdavisonline (03:14.5) I'm really looking to expand my business right now and meet financial planners. Do you work with a financial planner that you're friends with you'd introduce me to? Always looking for opportunities to grow my business, grow my network. That's how I use social media. I use it to generate outbound phone calls that I'm responsible for. I'm going to pick up the phone. I'm going to call the people that liked, hearted, comment, laughed, all that kind of stuff. You make a good, funny social post, you'll get a lot of hits. Timdavisonline (03:43.344) Call those people, have those conversations. Listen guys, somebody's going to get a loan today in your town. Are they going to get it from you? Probably just one conversation away from making that happen. Make sure you go find, lock that loan, have a successful day. And if you need coaching, check out theoriginatorsguide.com. $1 gets you in the door, 30 days. Check it out. Keep listening. Talk to you guys real soon. See you. Bye.

It's our 400th episode! I had big plans for this episode, but circumstances have forced my plans to change; hopefully, we will be on track to celebrate this worthy milestone in a big way with a listener-focused livestream episode very soon. I can't think of a better substitute than my friend, Dr. Eileen Forrestal. She joins us to talk about the concept of courage–and who doesn't need a healthy dose of courage in today's world? Join us!Dr. Eileen Forrestal is a retired consultant anesthetist and the co-founder of Get Up and Go Publications Ltd, publisher of the award-winning inspirational Get Up and Go Diaries, Journals, and Events. Having spent 20 years “putting people to sleep,” Eileen is now at work “waking people up.” She is continually inspired to make a greater impact on personal health and well-being with words rather than drugs and one pair of hands. In her memoir, The Courage to Shine: Find Your Voice and Discover the Healing Power of Your Words, Eileen shares her personal story of “waking up” to encourage others to explore their authentic self-expression and engage in new conversations for wellbeing and vitality. Plagued by a childhood stammer and a reluctance to speak publicly for many years, Eileen is now developing herself as a personal coach, entrepreneur mentor, and speaker to encourage others to overcome their fears and shine their light in the world. With a Foreword and enthusiastic endorsement by Jack Canfield, Eileen's memoir touches on her challenging relationship with her mother, the source of her “yes” in life. Her upcoming book is Embrace the Edge: Life is Bigger When You Say Yes. An avid traveler with an adventurous spirit, Eileen's thrill-seeking highlights include summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Everest base camp, cycling in Cambodia, rafting the Zambezi, riding an ostrich, and hypnotizing a chicken!She is a recently accredited Thought Leader with the All-Ireland Business Foundation, and she liberally shares her thoughts through Sparkles of Wisdom and Pocket Pearls on social media platforms, blogs, and articles.

Pete and Justin chat with Ash from The Wednesday Week about all things Sheffield Wednesday and quite a lot of random nonsense as well.We hear about the new manager they do like and the old one that they didn't plus an owner that makes the Watford regime look calm and reliable!!! We relive the semi-final of their play off triumphs last season and how they are now lining up and playing before we descend into the inevitable confusion that is the prediction league.

Many dog owners have learned to recognize the telltale signs of an ear infection: whining, scratching, and head shaking are often the first symptoms of the problem. Ear infections are common conditions in dogs, especially those with floppy ears such as Basset Hounds and Cocker Spaniels. An estimated 20 percent of dogs have some form of ear disease, which may affect one or both ears. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce the length and severity of these episodes for your dog. There are dog ear care products to help prevent issues from reoccurring. There are three types of ear infections, known formally as otitis externa, media, and interna. The most common is otitis externa, in which inflammation affects the layer of cells lining the external portion of the ear canal. Otitis media and interna refer to infections of the middle and inner ear canal, respectively. These infections often result from the spread of infection from the external ear. Otitis media and interna can be very serious and may result in deafness, facial paralysis, and vestibular signs. That's why it's important to prevent infections and seek early treatment when problems arise. Symptoms of Dog Ear Infections Some dogs show no symptoms of ear infection aside from a buildup of wax and discharge in the ear canal. But ear infections often cause significant discomfort and affected dogs may show signs such as: Head shaking Scratching at the affected ear Dark discharge Odor Redness and swelling of the ear canal Pain Itchiness Crusting or scabs in the ears What Causes Ear Infections in Dogs? The canine ear canal is more vertical than that of a human, forming an L-shape that tends to hold in fluid. This makes dogs more prone to ear infections. Ear infections are typically caused by bacteria, yeast, or a combination of both. In puppies, ear mites can also be a source of infection. Factors that may predispose your dog to ear infections include: Moisture, which can create a prime growing environment for bacteria and yeast Allergies, which lead to ear disease in about 50 percent of dogs with allergic skin disease and 80 percent of dogs with food sensitivities Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease Autoimmune disorders Wax buildup Foreign bodies Injury to the ear canal Excessive cleaning Precise Diagnosis Needed for a Dog's Ear Infections If your dog is showing any of the common signs of ear infections, it's important to consult with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Quick treatment is necessary not only for your dog's comfort (these conditions can be painful!), but also to prevent the spread of infection to the middle and inner ear. Don't try to treat ear infections at home. Be prepared to provide your vet with a thorough history of the problem. This is especially important for first-time infections, or if you are seeing a new veterinarian. Your vet will want to know the following: Duration of any symptoms, such as pain, swelling, discharge, and odor If your dog has any allergies or other underlying medical conditions If your dog is on medication What your dog has been eating How often you clean your dog's ears and which dog ear cleaning products you use If you've trimmed or plucked the hair in your dog's ears Recent activities, such as baths, grooming, or swimming If your dog has a history of ear infections, when they occurred, and how they were treated After obtaining your dog's history, your veterinarian will perform a physical examination. In severe cases, your vet may also recommend sedating your dog to facilitate examination deep within the ear canal. Your vet will evaluate both ears, and the exam may include: Visual assessment to look for signs such as redness, swelling, and discharge Examination with an otoscope, which allows evaluation of the ear canal and eardrum Gentle palpation of the ear to assess level of pain Microscopic examination of samples taken by swabbing the ear Culture of samples from the ear Biopsies or X-rays in severe or chronic cases How are Dog Ear Infections Treated? Your veterinarian will thoroughly clean your dog's ears using a medicated ear cleanser. Your vet may also prescribe your dog prescription ear drops for you to use at home. In severe cases of dog ear infections, your vet may prescribe oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Most uncomplicated ear infections resolve within 1–2 weeks, once appropriate treatment begins. But severe infections or those due to underlying conditions may take months to resolve, or may become chronic problems. In cases of severe chronic disease where other treatments have failed, your veterinarian may recommend surgery such as a Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA). A TECA surgery removes the ear canal, thus removing the diseased tissue and preventing the recurrence of infection. It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions closely and return to the veterinary hospital for any recommended recheck appointments. Lapses in your dog's treatment may lead to the recurrence of the infection. It is especially important that you finish the full course of your dog's medication, even if your dog appears to be getting better. Failure to finish the full course of treatment may lead to additional problems such as resistant infections. Can You Prevent Ear Infections in Dogs? As with most diseases, prevention is always best. Excess moisture is a common cause of ear infections, so be sure to thoroughly dry your dog's ears after swimming and bathing. Ask your veterinarian if a dog ear powder would be a good option for helping keep your dog's ears dry. If your dog is prone to chronic or recurrent ear infections, identifying and managing any underlying causes such as allergies can also help prevent new infections from occurring. Cleaning your dog's ears at home can also help prevent ear infections. Jeff Grognet, DVM, a columnist for AKC Family Dog, advises the following steps for ear cleaning: “First, fill the canal with a dog ear cleaning solution and massage the vertical ear canal from the outside. Wipe out the canal with absorbent gauze. Don't use paper towels or cotton because these may leave fibers behind, and those could cause irritation.” Cotton swabs may also be useful for cleaning your dog's pinnae (the external ear flaps) but avoid using them in the ear canal, which may inadvertently push debris deeper into the canal. You can also find dog ear cleaning wipes that are helpful for clearing away dirt and debris from the external ear flaps. Ear infections are a common and often recurrent problem in many dogs, but, with your veterinarian's help, you can keep your dog's ears clean and comfortable. If your dog is showing signs of an ear infection, always talk to your vet and seek treatment right away to ensure the problem does not become serious. Visit your local Veterinarian if you have any of these symptoms.

Managing canine diabetes Giving your dog a long, happy life Symptoms of diabetes  Excessive thirst (drinking water)  Increased urination Weight loss (even if eating well)  Decreased appetite  Cloudy eyes  Chronic or frequent infections, including skin and urinary infections  Learning your dog has diabetes can feel like a punch to your gut. Up to 1% of all dogs may develop diabetes during their lifetime. While this is a serious diagnosis, treatment options and management strategies can give your dog a long, quality life.  Diabetes mellitus revolves around a lack of insulin or a lack of the body's response to insulin. Insulin therapy is a mainstay of treatment. Understanding your dog's prognosis As with so many canine health problems, early diagnosis is key to your dog living a full life. Caught early, with treatment started right away and careful monitoring, many dogs with diabetes live full, active lives. The battle will be more difficult with dogs who have these issues:  Phosphate levels Dogs who have high levels of phosphate in their blood at the time of diagnosis tend to have a slightly less positive prognosis. The exact reason for this is unknown, but it emphasizes the need for a complete blood chemistry panel at the time of diagnosis.   Medical history Dogs who are more than 10-years-old, overweight, have a history of pancreatitis or are battling hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) are more likely to have problems.  Dogs with hypothyroidism have a slightly higher risk of becoming diabetic, and any dog who has required treatment with glucocorticoids for long periods of time is also at risk.   Breeding A study from the United Kingdom suggested that Border Terriers, West Highland White Terriers and Cocker Spaniels had lower survival times than Border Collies.  Tibetan Terriers, Cairn Terriers and Samoyeds are also considered high-risk breeds for diabetes.   Females  While female dogs have a higher risk of developing diabetes, if they are spayed, they can be managed quite well.  Starting therapy After your dog has been definitively diagnosed with diabetes, treatment with insulin will be the starting point. Dogs who are ill may need to be hospitalized and started with rapid-acting insulin injections. Most dogs will be feeling relatively well and can start treatment at home under veterinary guidance.  Customizing treatment for diabetics is essential. Individual dogs may respond to one type of insulin but not another. Some dogs become resistant to a certain type after time and need to change. Dosages can vary greatly among dogs, as can the timing of dosages. Typically, dogs will start off on insulin injections twice a day, around their feeding times. But be prepared for the experimentation necessary to find the ideal protocol for an individual dog.  Veterinary staff will explain how to handle and store insulin, and how to correctly use the syringes. Different strengths and types of insulin come in different units, and you need to carefully match the syringes you use with the insulin type. Insulin is sensitive and must be stored carefully, not too cold or too hot. Even shaking it too vigorously can harm this medication. Some insulins need to be rolled rather than shaken. Never use insulin past its expiration date.  Finally, you will learn how to give the injections. Some clinics have you practice on something like fruit until you are comfortable with doing the injections properly. Injections are given subcutaneously, reaching the fat between the surface skin and muscle below. The needles are a small diameter and very sharp, so most dogs handle the injections well. Needles and syringes need to be disposed of properly. You will need a sharps container and to learn how to dispose of the needles in your town.  Types of insulin There are many versions of insulin available for treating diabetic dogs, and your veterinarian will guide you to the best choice for your individual dog.  FDA-approved for use in dogs:  Porcine lente (Vetsulin)  Zinc insulin (ProZinc)  Used off-label with good results:  Detemir (Levemir)  Glargine (Lantus)  Isophane insulin, known as NPH (Novolin-N, Humulin-N)  All insulin drugs should only be used under the guidance of your veterinarian, with regular check-ups. Insulin costs will vary among products.  Insulin-glucose response curve Once you have the basics down, you will help fine-tune your dog's treatment. Trial and error is used to determine the best insulin, the ideal dose, timing and how to coordinate feedings with the dosing schedule. For the first week or two, while your dog's body adjusts to the insulin and you get your routine down, your veterinarian may have you monitor your dog via urine glucose strips. These give you a rough idea as to whether your dog is handling the insulin without getting their glucose levels too low. The ideal method for determining all these factors is to create a glucose response curve. Glucose is one of the main factors influenced by insulin. Tracking results of glucose in the blood is an easy way to know if your insulin dose is correct. Urine glucose monitoring can also help but is not as precise.  To create a glucose curve, blood glucose levels are checked about every two hours over a 12-hour period, if possible. That many blood tests can be expensive, but it is worth it to get your dog on the right track. Using the glucose curve, your veterinarian will see when the insulin starts to act, how long a single dose provides treatment, when the insulin is at its highest level of activity and when it fades out. While running the glucose curve, your dog's feeding (timing and portions) are carefully controlled. Based on the highs and lows of the curve, adjustments may be made in dose, timing of meals and amount fed.  Normal blood glucose levels in healthy dogs are 80-120 milligrams per decilitre (mg/dl). Most dogs can handle levels going as high as 250 with minimal side effects. Post mealtimes, some dogs may normally go up to 400 but that is a temporary effect. Once blood glucose levels go over 200, glucose will be detectable in the urine.  Factors influencing insulin dosing Because glucose is a basic nutrient, many factors can affect a dog's requirements. Obese dogs need to lose weight, so that should be factored in. If your dog has a successful weight-loss program, insulin amounts will decrease. Activity levels also require different amounts of insulin. A dog who is running agility trials will end up with a different dose than a dog who strolls sedately around the block once or twice a day. Female dogs who go into heat will often have different insulin needs than a spayed dog ( — it is generally recommended to spay an intact diabetic female to even out insulin requirements). If your dog is sick or becomes hypothyroid (low thyroid hormone production), their insulin needs will change. If your dog skips their morning meal and doesn't eat, you need to contact your veterinarian to discuss adjustments in the insulin dose. Insulin needs the “raw material” of the food to be effective.  Monitoring your diabetic dog  If your dog is not showing any clinical signs of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar or glucose levels), such as drinking more than usual, being extra hungry or urinating excessively, then your dosing should be in the right ballpark. Even so, periodic blood testing is recommended.  Having hypoglycemia (low blood sugar or glucose levels) is more serious. If your dog is very lethargic, sleeping more than usual and resisting activity, then they may have hypoglycemia. Some of these dogs will have tremors, difficulty walking and can collapse into a coma.  The brain is very dependent on glucose for its nutrition, so any changes in mental state could mean hypoglycemia. If you suspect this, you can put corn syrup or honey on your dog's gums. If they are alert, a meal of cooked pasta with some syrup or honey can help to quickly raise their blood sugar. The response should be fairly rapid. Contact your veterinarian if you suspect that your dog has high or low glucose levels. Fairly new on the scene are continuous or flash glucose-monitoring systems. These high-tech systems use an electrode inserted in the subcutaneous tissues of your dog. They give off a small current determined by the amount of glucose in the interstitial tissues. That charge is then converted to a glucose amount and displayed on a monitor.  Two systems have been used successfully in veterinary medicine: the MiniMed iPro2, a continuous monitoring system, and the Abbott Freestyle Libre, which is a flash system. These systems can provide a picture of your dog's daily blood glucose levels while they are at home and doing normal activities.  Best management practices The goal with your diabetic dog is to mimic a healthy dog's glucose status. You want a normal rhythm with no clinical signs of too high or too low. That means a steady routine, ideally feeding your dog the same diet, at the same time every day. Plan your dog's activity for each day. If you have an unusually active day planned, ask your veterinarian ahead of time about any recommended adjustments in insulin or food. A steady state minimizes long-term damage from diabetes to organ systems like the heart, liver and kidneys. Even dogs who are well-managed may eventually develop cataracts, but it takes longer in dogs who have relatively well-controlled glucose levels.  Once your dog is on a set schedule, costs and complications are minimal.  Side effect cataracts Cataracts are a common side effect of canine diabetes. These cataracts tend to mature quickly and may be associated with inflammation. A veterinary ophthalmologist can evaluate your dog's eyes to determine if cataract removal would improve vision.  If the ophthalmologist recommends removal, a well-regulated diabetic dog can have general anesthesia and surgery to remove the damaged lens. An artificial lens may be put in place at that time. If your dog is not a surgical candidate, don't despair. Blind dogs usually adjust well to their loss of vision.  Prognosis With careful monitoring, many dogs with diabetes live full, active lives. It is important for owners of diabetic dogs to keep a notebook charting daily dosage, diet, and activity. Doing so can alert you to any developing problems.  This article has been reprinted with permission from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's DogWatch newsletter, published by Belvoir Media Group.

The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a once-majestic suspension bridge, stretched across Washington State's Puget Sound like a steel spider's web. It served as a vital link between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. However, on November 7, 1940, the bridge succumbed to a deadly dance with gravity, collapsing into the watery depths below.Dubbed "Galloping Gertie" by its builders, the bridge was known for its mysterious vertical undulations in the wind. Despite attempts to tame its movements, it met its demise in 40 mph winds that morning. The twisting motion grew increasingly violent until the deck tore apart, leaving only remnants of towers and cables as silent witnesses to the catastrophe.The fallen bridge now lies beneath the waves as an artificial reef while its successor, built in 1950, stands proudly upon the original pedestals. This tragic collapse served as a catalyst for advancements in bridge aerodynamics and aeroelastics, shaping future suspension bridge designs.As early as 1923, engineers like Joseph B. Strauss and David B. Steinman were consulted for ideas to connect Tacoma with the Kitsap Peninsula. However, funding challenges and disagreements on design approaches plagued the project from its inception.The innovative design proposed by Leon Moisseiff ultimately won out over Clark Eldridge's conventional design due to cost savings and elegance. Moisseiff's theory of elastic distribution promised to absorb wind pressure and transmit energy to anchorages and towers. Unfortunately, this approach proved insufficient in preventing disaster.The Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse remains a cautionary tale for future generations of engineers and scientists alike – an unforgettable reminder that nature's forces can humble even our greatest creations.On September 27, 1938, construction commenced on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a $6.4 million marvel stretching 2,800 feet as the world's third-longest suspension bridge. The slender structure, designed with only two lanes and a mere 39 feet in width, earned its nickname "Galloping Gerty" from the workers who witnessed her dance amid moderate winds.Despite attempts to steady her rhythmic swaying - from anchoring cables to concrete blocks or installing hydraulic buffers - all efforts fell short. Professor Frederik Falkenhusen proposed drilling holes for airflow or adding deflector vanes for aerodynamics, but fate intervened; the bridge collapsed five days after his recommendations.Leonardo Coatsworth, the last driver on the trembling titan, recounted crawling on hands and knees towards safety while the bridge crumbled around him. His car and Tubby, his daughter's Cocker Spaniel, plunged into the abyss below - the sole fatality of this disaster.Captured on film by camera shop owners Barney Elliott and Harboring Monroe, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse now serves as a cautionary tale for engineering and architecture students worldwide.Silent film, etched in monochrome, danced at mismatched tempos. Monroe's lens captured 24 frames per second, while Elliott's waltzed at a languid 16. The bridge's oscillations - a frantic ballet, pirouetting 50% faster than reality. In 2019, a second reel surfaced - Arthur Leach's view from Gig Harbor's edge. A civil engineer and toll collector, he bore witness as the last soul to cross westward before the collapse. Determined, he halted others from stepping onto the disintegrating stage.#cars #car #collectorcars oldcars #cartalk #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #gigharbor #tacoma #NaPosPoMo

IPN suspende clases este miércoles en sus planteles de la CDMX Las familias no deben normalizar el consumo de drogas: López-Gatell La raza de perros más agresivos del mundo es el Cocker Spaniel inglés

Virginia Lyne on Merry and Expressive English Cocker Spaniel [caption id="attachment_12260" align="alignleft" width="431"] English Cocker Spaniel[/caption] Virginia Lyne joins host Laura Reeves for a Love the Breeds episode on the merry and expressive English Cocker Spaniel. A resident of British Columbia, Lyne has been breeding the Ranzfel English Cocker Spaniels since 1960. Her passion and undying love of the breed is evident in this wide ranging and thoughtful discussion. “You have to be prepared for a companion that's going to follow you everywhere,” Lyne said. “(One that) likes to go to the bathroom with you. It likes to wander outside with you if you get up and go somewhere. He or she doesn't seem to make any difference. They have to be with you. They're not prepared to sit on the couch and say, ‘I know where you're going, I'll be here when you get back,' which we have whippets as well, and that's more their style most of the time. So, this is a Velcro dog generally, they love to go in cars, they love to ride with you. They adore going for walks. One of their pitfalls (is that they are) inclined to be very greedy. Most of them will steal with no conscience table counter if they can reach it. “(They are) very, very easy to live with (and) most of the time relatively healthy. The grooming maintenance for a pet home is “just average,” Lyne noted, “where you have to accept hair, definitely is manageable if you're prepared to do your brushing and combing.” “They love hunting when you're walking with them. If they're unleashed, you have to make sure that you've taught your comeback and come back and retrieve. They will retrieve. They love to carry balls. Generally they like to fetch. They're not big water dogs, which is not part of their history. “(The breeds) were originally separated (by how they hunted) …. springing spaniels and “cocking” or field spaniels. It was a height, weight and how they hunt that made the difference … the cocker was developed by hunters because they wanted an animal that could go into any one of those hedges that run across the fields. Those are thick, dense and they're wonderful hiding places for birds, Woodcock in particular, which is where the name came from. “Geraldine Dodge was very instrumental in her work with the breed. If you ever come across a Geraldine Dodge copy of the English Cocker book, it's quite fascinating, with early pictures, color plates and breed standard descriptions, and so on. Anyhow, in 1946 the AKC recognized the separation of the American Cocker." “He will, on the slightest invitation, leave the cream cakes to follow the guns.” Lyne shared the following excerpt to describe the breed: “In Sport, as in ladies' hats, fashions have changed with each decade… Though fashions may change, we find that the merry little Cocker has always maintained his place in the esteem of the public and sportsmen alike, by dint of his extreme adaptability and courage and, let us face it, also by his hardiness to withstand the rigors of our English climate. He should never have been allowed to become a pampered pet, although the vast majority are, nowadays just that. Again, blame his adaptability and lovable nature: but anyone who has ever seen these game little dogs working in the field must admit that this is their rightful heritage and the place where they are truly happy. A Cocker that has once tasted the delights of bustling in and out of the hedgerows and thickets and has had the scent of hare, pheasant, partridge, or the humble rabbit in his nostrils is lost forever to the drawing room. He will, on the slightest invitation, leave the cream cakes to follow the guns.” Quote from "The Dual Purpose Dog" by A.W. Collins, circa 1950 (Collinwood Cockers, Kent, England) Watch the entire discussion, including expanded comments on judging the breed,

We hope you have the most magical birthday ever.

In this episode, we scour through the archives for irresistible stories behind breed names. Breed names are a vital tool for classifying our canine companions, yet it's the individuals, the Lunas and Maxs, the Rovers, Spots, and Fidos who breathe meaning into who these breeds become in our lives. Many breeds acquired their names from the prey they hunted, the location in which they were discovered, or by inheriting the names of the people who developed or fancied them. The names we give dogs highlight times, places, and people in every chapter of the human story. Dogs accompanied our earliest ancestors and will undoubtedly be there to guide our descendants.   Bonafide Bits: Huskies were not named for their strong, hefty physiques or sled-pulling abilities. Elvis, a beagle, sniffs polar bear poop at zoos to detect pregnancies. There is no such breed as a “French” Poodle, as Poodles were originally developed in Germany. A heart-wrenching story of Abraham Lincoln's dog popularized the name Fido. Luna and Max top the AKC's list of most popular dog names for 2022.   Featured Breeds: Cairn Terriers Cairn Terriers are happy, busy little earth dogs originally bred to fearlessly root out foxes and other small, furred prey in the rocky Scottish countryside. Curious and alert, Cairns like having a place where they can explore and dig. The Cairn's unique qualities, called “Cairnishness,” include a short, wide head and a free-moving, short-legged body that exudes strength but not heaviness, topping out at about 10 inches high and about 15 inches long. The double coat is harsh and wiry on top and downy beneath. A Cairn presents as a small, shaggy, alert dog, with head, tail, and ears up, and eyes shining with intelligence. A British breed club promotes Cairns as the “best little pal in the world.” Cairns are small enough for a laptop snuggle and sturdy enough for a good romp on the lawn. They do best with lots of close family contact. For owners who cherish the terrier qualities of gameness, independent thinking, and true-blue loyalty, no other breed will do. Discover more about Cairn Terriers at AKC's Cairn Terrier Breed Biography.   Siberian Husky The graceful, medium-sized Siberian Husky's almond-shaped eyes can be either brown or blue and sometimes one of each, and convey a keen but amiable, and even mischievous expression. Quick and nimble-footed, Siberians are known for their powerful but seemingly effortless gait. Tipping the scales at no more than 60 pounds, they are noticeably smaller and lighter than their burly cousin, the Alaskan Malamute. As born pack dogs, they enjoy family life and get on well with other dogs. The Sibes' innate friendliness renders them indifferent watchdogs. These are energetic dogs who can't resist chasing small animals, so secure room to run is a must. An attractive feature of the breed: Sibes are naturally clean, with little doggy odor. Discover more about Siberian Huskies at AKC's Siberian Husky Breed Biography.   Beagle Not only is the Beagle an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion, but it is also happy-go-lucky, funny, and — thanks to its pleading expression — cute. They were bred to hunt in packs, so they enjoy company and are generally easygoing. Discover more about Beagles at AKC's Beagle Breed Biography.   Scottish Deerhound Stand back: You need a little distance to fully appreciate the majesty of this ancient beast. In silhouette we see a noble coursing hound struck from the classic Greyhound template. Deerhounds are, though, much larger and more substantial than Greyhounds; a good-sized male can stand 32 inches at the shoulder and weigh 110 pounds. The crisp coat is seen in several colors; breed aficionados prefer the dark blue-gray coat. The tapered head and long neck add extra lift to an already stately hound. Discover more about Scottish Deerhounds at AKC's Scottish Deerhound Breed Biography.   American Foxhound American Foxhounds are good-natured, low-maintenance hounds who get on well with kids, dogs, and even cats, but come with special considerations for prospective owners. They are closely associated with Revolutionary heroes and the rolling estates of old Virginia. Discover more about American Foxhounds at AKC's American Foxhound Breed Biography.   Otterhound Big, boisterous, and affectionate, the Otterhound was bred in medieval England for the now-outlawed activity of otter hunting. This scarce breed is known for its dense shaggy coat, webbed feet, an acute sense of smell, and affinity for swimming. Discover more about Otterhounds at AKC's Otterhound Breed Biography.   Norwegian Elkhound The Norwegian Elkhound is a robust spitz type known for his lush silver-gray coat and dignified but friendly demeanor. The durable Elkhound is among Europe's oldest dogs. They sailed with the Vikings and figured in Norse art and legend. Norwegian Elkhounds are hardy, short-bodied dogs standing about 20 inches at the shoulder. They have a dense silver-gray coat and a tail curling tightly over the back. The deep chest, sturdy legs, and muscular thighs belong to a dog built for an honest day's work. The eyes are a dark brown and the ears are mobile and erect. Overall, an Elkhound is the picture of an alert and steadfast dog of the north. Elkhounds are famously fine companions and intelligent watchdogs. Agility and herding trials are good outlets for their natural athleticism and eagerness. Reserved until introductions are made, an Elkhound is a trustworthy friend ever after. These strong, confident dogs are truly sensitive souls, with a dash of houndy independence. Discover more about Norwegian Elkhound at AKC's Norwegian Elkhound Breed Biography.   Cocker Spaniel The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained wide popularity as all-around companions. Discover more about Cocker Spaniels at AKC's Cocker Spaniel Breed Biography.   Bernese Mountain Dog Big, powerful, and built for hard work, the Bernese Mountain Dog is also strikingly beautiful and blessed with a sweet, affectionate nature. Berners are generally placid but are always up for a romp with the owner, whom they live to please. The Bernese Mountain Dog is a large, sturdy worker who can stand over 27 inches at the shoulder. The thick, silky, and moderately long coat is tricolored: jet black, clear white, and rust. The distinctive markings on the coat and face are breed hallmarks and, combined with the intelligent gleam in the dark eyes, add to the Berner's aura of majestic nobility. A hardy dog who thrives in cold weather, the Berner's brain and brawn helped him multitask on the farms and pastures of Switzerland. Berners get along with the entire family and are particularly gentle with children, but they will often become more attached to one lucky human. Berners are imposing but not threatening, and they maintain an aloof dignity with strangers. Discover more about Bernese Mountain Dogs at AKC's Bernese Mountain Dog Breed Biography.   Portuguese Water Dog The bright and biddable Portuguese Water Dog was bred to be an all-around fisherman's helper. The robust, medium-sized body is covered by a coat of tight, low-shedding curls. They are eager and athletic companions built for water work. Discover more about Portuguese Water Dogs at AKC's Portuguese Water Dog Breed Biography.   Sealyham Terrier The Sealyham Terrier is brave and spirited, but not as spiky as smaller terriers. These sturdy, outgoing companions are recognized by their “fall,” the mass of hair covering the forehead. Sealy fans enjoy their dog's sly sense of humor. Standing less than 11 inches at the shoulder and weighing about 24 pounds, Sealys are not big enough to be considered medium-sized dogs, but they stand among the strongest and most substantial of what we think of as small dogs. A typical Sealy is well-muscled, built low to the ground, and moves easily with long, determined strides. The weatherproof coat is predominantly white, and a long, broad head is furnished with lavish facial hair. Despite their rep as the bruiser among short-legged terriers, Sealys are cute, funny, affectionate, outgoing, and trainable, if a bit stubborn. Their alertness and a big-dog bark make Sealys excellent watchdogs. Blessed with an adaptable nature, Sealys are amenable to city dwellings or country life. Discover more about Sealyham Terriers at AKC's Sealyham Terrier Breed Biography.   Staffordshire Bull Terrier From his brawling past, the muscular but agile Staffordshire Bull Terrier retains the traits of courage and tenacity. Happily, good breeding transformed this former gladiator into a mild, playful companion with a special feel for kids. Discover more about Staffordshire Bull Terriers at AKC's Staffordshire Bull Terrier Breed Biography.   Berger Picard The Berger Picard is a lanky herding dog of strong bone and sturdy build. Picards spent centuries as take-charge independent problem-solvers, so early socialization and positive training are necessary to cope with their stubborn streak. Discover more about Berger Picards at AKC's Berger Picard Breed Biography.   Czechoslovakian Vlcak An alert, primitive canine that resembles a wolf in appearance. They are highly intelligent, powerful, active, loyal, and devoted to their owner. They have superior eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell and are known for having excellent stamina and endurance. The Czechoslovakian Vlcak (CSV) was originally bred for working border patrol in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s. They are currently used in Europe and the United States for search and rescue, tracking, obedience, agility, drafting, herding, and working dog sports. The CSV is bred for versatility and hardiness in harsh elements and is much more independent in nature than many other working breeds. They are an excellent choice for tracking or trailing sport/work or as a companion for active owners who enjoy spending time doing outdoor activities such as biking, running, or hiking. They are not, however, recommended for first-time owners. Discover more about Czechoslovakian Vlcaks at AKC's Czechoslovakian Vlcak Breed Biography.   Rhodesian Ridgeback The Rhodesian Ridgeback is an all-purpose “Renaissance hound” whose hallmark is the ridge, or stripe of backward-growing hair, on his back. Though the breed was made famous in its native Africa for its skill at tracking and baying, but never, ever killing, lions, today Ridgebacks are cherished family dogs whose owners must be prepared to deal with their independence and strong prey drive. Discover more about Rhodesian Ridgebacks at AKC's Rhodesian Ridgeback Breed Biography.   German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC's German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography.   Poodle Forget those old stereotypes of Poodles as sissy dogs. Poodles are eager, athletic, and wickedly smart “real dogs” of remarkable versatility. The Standard, with his greater size and strength, is the best all-around athlete of the family, but all Poodles can be trained with great success. Discover more about Poodles at AKC's Poodle (Standard) Breed Biography.   Affenpinscher The Affen's apish look has been described in many ways. They've been called “monkey dogs” and “ape terriers.” The French say diablotin moustachu (“mustached little devil”), and Star Wars fans argue whether they look more like Wookies or Ewoks. Standing less than a foot tall, these sturdy terrier-like dogs approach life with great confidence. “This isn't a breed you train,” a professional dog handler tells us, “He's like a human. You befriend him.” The dense, harsh coat is described as “neat but shaggy” and comes in several colors; the gait is light and confident. They can be willful and domineering, but mostly Affens are loyal, affectionate, and always entertaining. Affen people say they love being owned by their little monkey dogs. Discover more about Affenpinschers at AKC's Affenpinscher Breed Biography.   Peruvian Inca Orchid Agile, smart, and swift, the Peruvian Inca Orchid is an elegant sighthound that developed in Peru. The breed can be hairless or coated and comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Lively and alert, these dogs can be very good hunters and do well in lure coursing, rally, and agility. In the hairless variety, the skin can be of any color. In the coated variety, all colors are accepted including black, brown, gray, pink, tan, and white. Discover more about Peruvian Inca Orchids at AKC's Peruvian Inca Orchid Breed Biography.   Yorkshire Terrier Beneath the dainty, glossy, floor-length coat of a Yorkshire Terrier beats the heart of a feisty, old-time terrier. Yorkies earned their living as ratters in mines and mills long before they became the beribboned lapdogs of Victorian ladies. Discover more about Yorkshire Terriers at AKC's Yorkshire Terrier Breed Biography.   For more information about a specific breed visit the breed's parent club or AKC.org.   Shareables: Of all the 200 AKC-recognized breeds, more than half are named to reference the place they were first noticed by Europeans or North Americans. Several dogs still retain the name of a country that no longer exists such as the Rhodesian Ridgeback and the Czechoslovakian Vlcak. The AKC recently published the top dog names for 2022 and they are Luna (female) and Max (male).

Tonight, we chatted with our good buddy, Dr. Joe Spoo (The Gun Dog Doc... check him out!), about all things sporting dogs. First, we talk about chasing upland birds and hear about Joe's lab (that he said he'd never own... and he explains why). Then we dig into a couple of Joe's late dogs. We chat a little about why chukar are great for training but overall, they're just the worst. Then we hear about Joe's newer dog, a Cocker Spaniel and how she's just the coolest little dog. Joe's spent some time at Spaniel trials and highly recommends anyone in the dog world check them out. We continue chatting with Joe and talk about sporting dogs and how they're athletes and how you can adjust your hunting to match (and support) each stage in the dog's life. Joe has years and years of experience as a Vet and has interesting thoughts on keeping your dog healthy and in the field longer. We talk about tick-borne diseases and common injuries and his thoughts on them. Joe also gives Bob some interesting thoughts on Memphis and her struggles from her tick-borne disease. One of the quotes from Joe that really struck me was when he said "age is not a disease" and he's right. We need to take care of our dogs so they not only live a long life but can live one with as much time in the field as possible.

Welcome to September 23rd, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate presidential pooches and great American pie.  When Richard Nixon ran as Eisenhower's Vice President in 1952 he was accused of receiving money and gifts illegally. He told his critics that if they found that he'd done anything wrong he would return everything except a black and white Cocker Spaniel named Checkers. Even politicians have a soft spot for animals. Many presidents have had pets while in the White House, but there were some truly strange ones. Herbert Hoover had an opossum, Calvin Coolidge a raccoon that he walked on a leash, and Teddy Roosevelt had snakes, dogs, cats, a badger, birds, guinea pigs, and even a pony. On National Checkers Day And Dogs In Politics Day, we celebrate presidential pooches, and remember there aren't just people living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. While pot pies have been around since ancient Rome, today we celebrate our love of this perfect comfort food that we find truly American. Almost every culture has a recipe for savory filling baked between two flakey crusts, but some of these recipes are best left behind. For example, it may seem crazy that anyone would enjoy a dinner that included a live bird bursting out of a pie, but this Roman tradition existed up until the 16th century in England. Today we take pride in our rich heritage of hearty stews baked into flaky crust that make many Americans nostalgic. On National Great American Pot Pie Day enjoy this delicious national treasure.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Veterinary Internist Dr. Andrew Woolcock joins the podcast to discuss a 6 year-old Cocker Spaniel with an acute onset of lethargy, inappetance and depression. She also had a single collapsing episode that might or might not have been a seizure. Could this actually be IMHA? Dr. Woolcock talks through his diagnostic workup of choice and a variety of treatment options.

Card Game: https://drandyroark.com/training-tools/ Dr. Andy Roark Swag: drandyroark.com/shop All Links: linktr.ee/DrAndyRoark ABOUT OUR GUEST: Dr. Andrew Woolcock is a veterinary internist. He's from the Midwest and did his schooling at Michigan State University, where he graduated with his DVM. After an internship at North Carolina State University, Dr. Woolcock completed a residency in small animal internal medicine at the University of Georgia. He joined the faculty at Purdue University in 2015, and is currently an Associate Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine. Dr. Woolcock loves the complex puzzles that internal medicine patients present, and loves working with students as they put the pieces together. He loves all-things-medicine, because physiology is so fascinating, but he especially gravitates toward immune-mediated diseases and endocrinology. Dr. Woolcock enjoys his clinical practice, but also his research in oxidative stress, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. When he's not at work, Dr. Woolcock is likely watching old movies with his husband and their dog, Auggie (not sure of what breed he is, so they invented one for him – a Miniature Fluftoffee).
