But along came Rose to the rescueA couple of months ago Rose Radel submitted a wonderful article about saving time, and I for one was amazed. What good ideas Surely even someone like myself could learn to save time with Roses plan. And so I launched a campaign calculated to make my days longer and more beneficial.First things first, I thought. Try to do certain tasks at the same time, if possible. Well, one of the cars needed servicing, and I had some research to do...so, I thought, Ill kill two birds with one stone.Happily I packed my books into the car, and took off for the garage. A beautiful, sunny day, it was, and then another thought struck me...I hadnt had time to be out in the sun for a while, and since I had to drive anyways...why not kill another bird And so I whipped the sun roof open and felt the breeze riffling through my hair. Now, this was going to be great Of course, all my notes immediately blew out through the roof, but I didnt care...I was saving so much time that I could certainly reconstruct them - no problemAfter about ten blocks, I realized that the breeze was riffling through too much hair - another task to be undertaken While they were working on the car, and I was reading, I could be getting the haircut I neededFeeling very organized and time-smart, I dropped off the car, picked up the books, and started off in search of a barber. Now, most of the businesses near the service garage are strange to me, but I figured, how much difference could there be between barbers Little did I know.The rock music blaring from approximately four hundred speakers might have given me a clue, had I not been engrossed in a particularly interesting chapter, but it did not occur to me at the time. Let me explain. I am one of those unfortunates or fortunates, depending upon how you look at it who, when concentrating, can ignore the whole rest of the world. This came in very handy in the dorm at school, but can get me into trouble in other places. I have missed planes, alarms, and almost didnt make it into the Group ring once because I was reading. And so you can see that reading is probably what I should not be doing when trying to do anything else simultaneously.But I was reading anyway. At one point this fellow cutting my hair asked, How do you like your hair cut which is probably a valid question. But, I was busy and mumbled Do whatever you think.A half hour and sixty-two pages later plus 18.00 and a three dollar tip, I zipped out the door to go pick up the car.The mechanic gave me a funny look -1 dont know why. And then he said Weve been calling you at home for an hour - we needed an O.K. for some additional work. It might take another hour. Well, I thought to myself, if I had waited for the car to be done, and then gone to get my hair cut, that would have taken an hour, so Im still ahead of the game. So I smiled and said, Do whatever you think. And I went to read in the waiting area. It was your usual waiting area twelve half-empty cups of coffee, three full ashtrays, a soda machine, a machine with inedi- The Pom Reader August 1985ble, dry crackers, and a mirror on one wall. At one point I glanced up from my book, and thought to myself, Gosh, who would have thought that Rod Stewart would have his car serviced at the same place that I do Then I looked again...and went into shock. That was meA rapid exit brought me to within sight of another barber shop -1 was too embarrassed to return to the original place. I sheepishly inquired how much they would charge to repair the damage done to the outside of my head, while inwardly wondering what damage had been done to the inside of my head to let a thing like this happen. What do you want me to do to it the lady inquired. And I said, Do whatever you think. Well, an hour later my hair what was left of it was back in shape. That reminds me of a joke I heard once Do you know why they call it a Home Permanent Because after you get one, you have to stay Home. Permanent.Well, I didnt get a permanent, and I figured that the mess would grow out before the Specialty in Houston, so I thought to myself, Well, if you divide the time by two haircuts, Im still doing allrightThat extra hour had given the service manager plenty of time to find other things wrong, it was a slow day so I learned that there would be yet another wait. That was okay -1 could surely find something else I could do while reading and waiting. And then it hit me - a shoe shine You can always use one, and you can read while they shine So off I went in search of a shoe shine shop.Which I presently found. How nice, I thought, taking care of these little details while still working I am surely saving time. Another fly in the ointment of efficiency landed just then. Oh, excuse me, said the shine person, I got polish on your light blue socks. Knowing better than to say Do whatever you think, I said Never fear. Ive saved so much time today that I can buy new socks, and the taxi ride to my favorite department store will be great for reading And so I journeyed to the store, found the socks, and...there was the most beautiful Navy double- breasted blazer...on sale I had to have it, it would be great for Houston. ALTERATIONS WHILE YOU WAIT they said, and I was delighted -1 would not have to waste time coming back to pick it up if I waited, reading, while they worked.It seemed just a moment until they were finished, and off I went to pick up the car. There it was, shining and obviously ready, except for the fact that the joint was now closed. Oh well, thats okay, I thought, I can just stop by to pick it up tomorrow when I go back to get the books I left at the department store on my way to pick up the pen I left at the shoe shine shop before I stop to retrieve my checkbook thats at the second barber shop...but NO WAY AM I GOING TO GO BACK TO THE FIRST BARBER SHOP. That place is a waste of timeBut I didnt, unfortunately, make it to Houston but alls well that ends well. Joann Reilly called in the results just in time, and our Houston correspondent Nora Doll covered the festivities.

Gale Road Davison, Ml 48423 or- Shu-ShuC0 The Pom Reader 8848 Beverly Hills Lakeland, FL 33805vSHU-SHU SHANNONThe Pom Reader August 1985CAJUN CHATTERThis has been one of the most unforgettable yet forgettable months I have spent in a long time. The secret words here are diarrhea and gastroenteritis. Somehow, either from contact at the last shows attended or from an unfortunate bird who chose to expire in my yard naturally my dogs presented me with their trophy...ugh one of my dogs came down with all the symptoms of gastroenteritis - diarrhea, offset by vomiting and eye discharge. Though I isolated the sick one at once, the next day I had 3 more cases, and my dogs began, one by one, to get this awful mess.My first fear was Parvo, but by sending a fecal sample to LSU we not only found that there was no Parvo or Corona virus present, but that there werent other problem-causing viruses present either. We then took a fecal culture and sent this to a local laboratory, but neglected to ask that all bacterial organisms be listed. The results showed that my dogs did not have salmonella or shigella, but did not tell me what the offending bacteria was. Dogs can have severe, even fatal cases of gastroenteritis from organisms such as Proteus Mirabilis, Escheria Coli, And Staphylococcus Aureus, which are commonly found in dog stool. Normally these organisms dont cause us much problem in themselves they are found almost everywhere and on all surfaces, but once they invade a dogs intestinal tract they become contagious and are easily passed from dog to dog.My problems came to an end when my veterinarian noticed that my dogs were responding to injections of Diathal a form of procaine penicillin used in treating diarrhea which has gotten out of hand. From this I asked if amoxicillin might not help to clear up the problem, and within 24 hours everyone was getting better after being put on amoxicillin.Because of going through the problem with this, I did a little research about diarrhea and found that it can be caused by a number of things. One is malabsorption of food, which usually happens when you get a bad bag of dog food. This kind of diarrhea usually goes away promptly if the food is changed after a 24 hour fast. Another cause of diarrhea is nervous upset, which clears up when the cause of nervousness is removed, but the causes which are most troublesome are those from bacterial and viral infections, and those from parasite and protozoa infestation.The danger of allowing diarrhea to go unchecked is that your dog can develop acidosis, dehydrate, and lose significant amounts of potassium from his system. All of these things are dangerous, and can cause death.During this problem, which lasted 3 weeks, I had the opportunity to use a great many products which aid in controlling diarrhea. Usually neomycin sulfate found in products like Biosol and Biosol-M will clear up minor bacteria-caused cases unless the bug responsible is not sensitive to it.Penicillin found in Diathal and used in the form of amoxicillin, ampicillin, and clavamox is another good choice, principally because of its wide range of effectiveness and using it is less likely to destroy necessary gut bacteria.Two veterinarian-dispensed drugs which aid in diarrhea control are darbazine and donnatol. Both medications slow down intestinal action, and sleepiness can be a side effect from using them. I liked the darbazine a little better as it comes in a time-released form it also comes in combination with neomycin known as neodarbazine. Donnatol is also very good, but the liquid form can cause problems when administered to the brachycephalic breeds as the taste is one of strong alcohol and can make the animal aspirate and set up a fluid problem in the lungs.Some of the best products I found were over-the-counter medications used for humans. One of the best is Pepto- Bismol. Be prepared, however, for the stool to turn blackish green. Another good standby is Kaopectate, which can be given in large doses and will not hurt the dog.One surprise which I discovered was the fact that Emetrol was very effective to control sour stomach and vomiting - I found that it really helped without making the dog sleepy. Another good application of Emetrol is its use to lessen the nausea of a bitch who has whelped or has gotten a sour stomach from being too fastidious in cleaning up after her newborns. It is simple carbohydrate and can not cause a problem given in a proper dose.If your dog develops diarrhea which does not check itself within 24 hours, the first thing to do is have a fecal examination made. It also doesnt hurt to put your dog through a worming I like Panacur as it gets almost all worms and the dog doesnt have to be starved even if the check is negative as in some instances the dog can have a severe case of whipworms and not have it show up in a stool sample. Naturally, if the dog still doesnt respond, veterinary assistance is a must. Depending on the accompanying symptoms, a fecal culture can help determine if the cause is bacterial and give which antibiotics the organism is sensitive to. A check under an electron microscope will tell if a virus is causing the problem. However, these are further steps which can be taken if yor veterinarians standard procedures dont help to check the problem. The key phrase here is WORK WITH YOUR VETA good practice I developed as a result of my experience is using a Clorox solution as a follow-up to scooping the yard. One part Clorox to 20 parts water will go a long way in stopping the spread of infectious diarrheas. Two words of caution here...Clorox can give a burn to a nosy critter who cant resist checking out what it is youre up to. Use your solution after the dogs are put away. The other caution involves the use of clorox without protecting your eyes...the stuff burns, believe me Also, if youve worked hard to cultivate a nice green lawn for your dogs to run on, clorox solution will kill your grass. Well, enough said about this subject except to say that I hope none of you ever has to go through such an ordeal.

John L. Ashbey PhotoEdna Girardot and I are both in bad moods today. I just hung up the phone from talking to her again, and we were consoling each other about the fact that neither of us got to go to Houston. But each of us are very disappointed. And disappointment is the one thing that Edna hates.Edna has always said Never give up. There will be setbacks and disappointments, but you must always keep on going. It may be easy to look at Ednas tremendous record in the breed, and wonder what she could possibly know about disappointment. I can assure you that the lady knows.The Pom Reader August 198515I am not talking about the disappointment one might feel when you lose at a show. I am talking about tragedy, the kind that makes you wonder whether to continue or not.For example 1960 Ch. Scotia Pot of Gold, known to his ny friends as Toby. At two years of age, Toby was starr- . ^ in the Schenectady Civic Playhouse production of Tobias and the Angel, drawing rave revues and admiration from all involved A most proficient actor. He was on stage a great deal, he never barked or fussed. He enjoyed people and lights and applause, but stayed quietly and even went to sleep if the action on stage did not concern him. from a tribute written by the cast of the play entitled Appreciation of an Actor. Killed in a freak accident. The cast of the play could not bear to replace their canine co-star, and substituted a toy animal instead. Edna swallowed her disappointment and carried on.For example Ch. Scotia Cavillers Nans Can-Can finished very young. Back to Back Toy Group Firsts, and the next weekend out...poisoned at a dog show. Edna swallowed her disappointment and carried on.For example 1984 Scotia Command Performance. Young red sable male, just starting out. Two shows, Winners Dog both times 2 3 points. At an Oklahoma show, an official came over to admire the little dog, they stood talking the clipboard the man was holding slipped out of his hand, and hit Ednas dog in the head. Command Performance died instantly. Edna quietly picked up the dog and walked away - what could you say And again Edna swallowed her disappointment and carried on.C ded on with what she has made her lifes work. Breeding v ery best Pomeranian that she can.The Pom is a very interesting breed. I especially love their loyalty to their owners. I have tried to keep the loyalty, the temperament, and strived to get perfection in comformation. I like expression - I like small eyes. I dont like too much of a baby face I have found some very bad mouths on them. I want good movement, good legs, good head, good ears. Tail set is very important to me. I like a substantial dog. Some of them you can press down on their back and they will cave in. I like a dog that can really push back.And I want a good, stand-off coat.I like a AVz - 5 pound Pom. I dont care much for the tiny ones. And this extreme stuff - thats no good.Im proud of what Ive done, but the bottom line is that everyone has the same chance. You must continue to strive. And again today, the lady is faced with disappointment. Edna had been looking forward all summer to the Houston shows, and at the last minute, became ill. When I called her last Friday in the hospital, I said I just wanted to check up on her, and wouldnt bother her for long to which she replied Oh, please do Im bored to death And so we talked more about Poms. We talked rather late about Poms. Edna is home now, and as Ive said, tremendously disappointed about having to miss the Houston shows. One might think that this one last disappointment might just have been gh to make even Edna Girardot give up. But is this the caseWell, I had to miss Houston, but Im going to the Carolina shows - no matter whatLLL KENNELS PRESENTS LLL NUGGET OF GOLD SHORT STUFFFOR SALEShorty is 4, ornage, good bone, right up on toes, good coat, attractive head.

JMcG The Pom Reader August 198516Midwest NewsJean StaffordHas another month really gone by Its hard to believe that its time to write another article, but here goes.June was a quiet month for us compared to the excitement of May. We attended only two shows, one being that of our kennel club. I spent the day stewarding a new experience for me and rushing around like a crazy fool, jumping from one ring to the next to show my Bernese Mountain Dog and Springer Spaniel. Does this sound familiar You have three different breeds entered at a show. What are the chances of the judging to be close One in a million, right WRONGOne week before the show, you get your judging schedule...What The Springer goes in at 1130 after 11 dogs, the Berner and Pom both go in at 1200, first Thankfully, we have several good friends that volunteered their help. I showed my Springer, rushed to the Berner ring the other side of the building, of course just in time to switch dogs with my friend standing ringside with my Berner. After I showed her, I rushed upstairs to the Pom ring just in time to see the Breed judging.I was thrilled to see my husband in the ring with our puppy - he took Winners Dog Why does Bob look so upset This meant two more pointsOr so I thought. The other three males scratched, so there werent any points involved at all. Oh well, it proved to be an interesting dayMillamors Country Music is making quite a splash in this area. He is owned by Chuck Veronica Boudreau, and in very limited showing has 11 points and both majors. Country and our Jammer are racing each other to finish, but I believe Country will win because Jammer has decided that it is time to blow his coat, the bratCh. Jamols Fudge Royale and Ch. Hi Times Kaleidoscope have both taken Group Placements in June. Both are owned by Olive Lancey and handled by Gene Sue Talsma.I consider myself a novice breeder, having only bred 4 bitches in the last two years. Three of the four only whelped one puppy each, the other having two puppies. Out of the three single litters, two pups were stillborn, the third had to have a C-Section. All three pups were rather large, causing the problems, I believe. Our one litter of two was a success. Our bitch free-whelped both of these without problems.Now, this is where I need your help. Could my bitches be lacking something in their diet Is there anything I can do to prevent these one-puppy disaster litters from happening in the futureI would appreciate any input that anyone can supply. Let me hear from youUntil next month...happy showingJean Stafford, 1436 Powers Ct., Niles, Ml 49120^ FLASHAMERICAN POMERANIAN CLUB SUMMER SPECIALTYAugust 7, 1985 Houston, TexasJudge Mrs Barbara JarmolukBEST OF BREEDCH.

Pomirish Robins Top Shelf.The Pom Reader August 198518Generally SpeakingSusan WadeFUN MATCHES SHOULD BE FUNMatches are or should be our greatest educational tool in training our pups. Training classes are great, but matches are a must. Going from training classes directly to a show with its tensions and commotion is not fair to your dog. We could compare training classes to elementary school, matches to high school, and the shows are the college campuses.WHY do you go to matches Wins are nice, anywhere, but hardly important at matches. Each time I judge a match, I am amazed at the attitude of some of the participants One gets the impression that those match wins are going to count toward a title of some kindWhether as a judge or as an exhibitor, my aim is to make a match as pleasant an experience as possible. Starting from the minute you leave the driveway, until you come home. Try to arrive early - this is often a pups first encounter with the big outside world. Take time to put himher on a lead and wander around all that space. After the pup checks things out, there is time for a drink and a rest in their crate where they can watch everything and everybody.When its ring time...off we go If there is anything more irritating to me than a person at a match with a perfectly trained puppy, Im not sure what it is. A first match is when you can make a perfect ass of yourself with impunity - chirping to the pup as you go around the ring backwards holding liver under the pups nose, or using two leads on a particularly young one. Thats right - two leads one under the belly and one around the neck. Dont laugh - it works WHATEVER it takes to get them around the ringNo matter what happens, this is always a GOOD PUPPY Keep telling them that...or say whatever is on your mind, just as long as the tone is loving All the way back to the crate with a ribbon or without, keep up the loving and praise. A good drink and a barking romp in the ex-pen before getting back in the crate is in order.From start to finish, the day should be a meeting of the Mutual Admiration Society of which you and your pup are the only members The greatest compliment I ever had after judging a match had nothing to do with the placements I made or the choices that were made in the group - it was from an exhibitor thanking me for making his pups first experience a happy oneRemember...any match, whether A or B, should be a Fun Match ^ FLASHPOMERANIAN CLUB OF GREATER HOUSTON SUMMER SPECIALTYAugust 8, 1985 Houston, TexasJudge Mr. Fred BassettBEST OF BREEDCH.

I had a wonderful time and met a lot of nice people. Their new Pom Club The Greater Baltimore Pomeranian Club hope thats correct is really going great guns. They have a lot of talented people who really seem to care.I was impressed by the fact that everyone cheered each other on, regardless of who won or lost, and if a club member won the Breed they stayed to cheer them on in the Group.Also enjoyed the gab sessions we had at lunch or dinner after the shows.

Hwy 4, Stockton, CA 95205The Pom Reader August 198520FROM A LOW POINT OF VIEWBy CH. BRICKENS PENELOPE LDear Duane and Joe,I notice in your magazine that you ask for suggestions and comments. It has occurred to me that the titles that we canines can earn are all human-conceived and human- granted. There should be some kind of awards that are devised by Canines, for Canines. Therefore, I have formulated the requirements for just such an award. The first Canine- Granted Award for Canines shall be the BB and the BBX Bed Buddy and Bed Buddy Excellent.The first requirement shall be to show the ability to get up onto the human bed. Most beds are of a standard height, therefore some of the breeds, such as Toys, or close-to-the- ground breeds, may have some difficulty. An assist for these breeds will be permitted, whether in the form of a stool, bench, or a hand-up by ones Master or Mistress.The second requirement will deal with Speed. One must have a sufficient head of steam to reach the pillow at the head of the bed BEFORE the Master or Mistress As long as the subject of pillows has arisen, we shall deal with it.Pillows are important in attaining a BB-BBX. One must have the ability to gain possession of at least one half of the pillow without being obvious about it. This can often be done by gradually insinuating oneself snugly against the head of the Master or Mistress and using a cuddling motion to gain the desired one-half. Herein will lie our first fault for which points must be deducted this MUST be done without waking the human The speed with which this can be done will be a definite factor in qualifying.The third requirement will deal with Stealth sneakiness. As in the above Pillow Possession Exercise, stealth is needed - however, the Under Cover Exercise requires even more. In this exercise, one must have the ability to lift the covers with ones nose and VERY CAREFULLY work ones way beneath the covers. Remember - points are taken off in the even your human awakens The closer to the foot of the bed you can get, the more points toward qualificationThe RETURN is a simple exercise and should not cause much concern in performance. There are times when one must answer the calls of nature or need to see about some noise during the night...or suppose you are thirstyYou must get down from the bed to take care of these things. No assist is allowed in getting down, but the Exercise of the Return involves getting back into the bed. The larger or taller breeds should have no problem with the actual getting there, but points off if you wake anyone For the Toys and low-slung ones, you must make your desire known and get your Master or Mistress to lift you back. Points are added to your score when you have your humans well enough trained that they do this automatically - in their sleep, so to speakThe Sand Box Exercise is not used too often, but it must be conquered. There are times when all of us carry in sand on our feet the point of this exercise is to distribute this sand as evenly as possible across the bed. Extra points for doing this between the sheets If the distribution is done evenly,there is little discomfort to your human.The Long Sleep is probably the most fun exercise to practice and perfect. You must deposit yourself exactly bed- center Then proceed to sleep peacefully throughout the whole procedure of human bed-making. The only permissible moves are those that will facilitate your human in her endeavor. At the end of the exercise the bed will be made the human way and you will again be bed center, on top of the spread, and sleeping peacefully. This exercise is usually accompanied by much under-the-breath-grumbling on the part of the human - but - that is part of the gameDisqualifications all involve waking your human. Wakening him in any way, whether it is by snoring, breathing in his face, too much motion, or chewing loudly on a squeaky toy or chew chip, is a disqualificationHappy practicing to all you canines, and strive diligently for that BB-BBXCh. Brickens Penelope Land Susan Wade, CTX Canine Translator Xtraordinaire P.S. If any canines feel that they are ready for their BB-BBX, they can notify me at Route 1, Box 340, Auburndale, FL 33823, and I will be pleased to send them a certificate. Notification should be accompanied by a note signed by their human. Please include your registered name and all titles. - P.Pet PortraitsCALL OR WRITE FORFREE FULL-COLOR BROCHUREDept.
