Anyone with any records at AKC is subject to such a visit at any time. Areas of most concern are PROPER IDENTIFICATION OF EVERY DOG, and...PROPER RECORD-KEEPING PROCEDURES.Record-keeping should not be such a problem, as we must absolutely MUST keep reasonably good records, lest we lose track of what the heck we are doing A good friend asked, Wonder if AKC will accept my record-keeping system...hundreds of little pieces of paper, scrap pad pages, backs of envelopes, all piled into a huge drawer in my bureau I would guess not.Regarding proper identification of every dog, there seems to be some confusion as to what AKC considers acceptable identification. Obviously, if we keep one doggie in one cage, with name, description, registration data, history, etc., that should certainly be perfect. However, when several or all your canine kids go out into exercise yards to run together for a while...or in kennels or places where 3 or 4 are housed together in a pen, exercise run or some such...what then And in lots of cases, folks have several doggies running about in the house, with little individual toys, beds, chewsticks and things...what then I feel the American Kennel Club might frown on identification such asThat one is Tommy...I know its Tommy cause he NEVER sleeps in his own bed...That tan one is Jackie...I know its Jackie because his teeth show on the right side when he snarls at you...watch...yesThe Pom Reader October 1991Thats Jackie for sure Sorry about the bite and the blood...There is little Fifi...no problem in identifying her.. .she is 13 years old and only has 3 teeth left...but then she wont let anyone open her mouth but me, so take my word for it...Oh, here come Jeffie and Joey...cant miss those boys cause theyre brothers They kind of look alike, but Joey has one white foot, and Jeffie has a cute cowlick on top of his head - see Easily identifiedI have 24 doggies, and I know every one by heart, and probably my husband could tell you the names of maybe 7 or 8 of them. Just anytime you want to know, just ask me and Ill be glad to identify every one for youNaaaaahhhh.......somehow I dont believethe AKC would consider that PROPER IDENTIFICATION...More seriously, many consider tattooing dogs an excellent method for identification of all our animals. This is usually done on the tummy and is supposedly an easy, painless and permanent method. A companyorganization known as TATTOO-APET operates a reputable tattooing service, with representatives all across the country. Additionally, they maintain an excellent network for rescuing and locating the owners of any misplaced animal with an identifying tattoo. While it is improper for me to advertise for anyone, I can say that our Pomeranian Club recently purchased a tattoo machine from this tattoo registry and we have received excellent attention, instructions, and cooperation. The machine costs about 23000 and is guaranteed forever. You may get full details by calling 1-800-TATTOOS 828-8667 and MOST IMPORTANTLY TO ALL OF US, THIS REGISTRY IS DEFINITELY ACCEPTED BY AKC AS PROPER IDENTIFICATION.TATTOO-A-PET provides an audio tape with explanation of its services and instructions for tattooing your animals. I agreed to try first to tattoo our doggies, with machine to then be passed to other members of the Club.On a recent weekend Darrell and I found ourselves with NO DOG SHOWS, NO TRAVELING, so we had a lovely, leisurely, quiet, romantic Sunday morning to sleep late, have breakfast in bed, luxuriate with the Sunday paper and crossword puzzle...our favorite kind of day, right Later still piled up in the middle of our bed, we took out the tattoo machine, turned on the audio tape, read the booklet, and tried to learn how to operate this creature. They recommend you first ALWAYS PRACTICE ON GRAPEFRUIT until you have mastered the skills necessary to do your little animals. We closely adhered to instructions, with the little buzzing machine, ink, etc...must say we got some pretty good-looking tattoos on several grapefruit. First were a little sloppy- looking, but by the 4th or 5th grapefruit, they began to look quite professional. I also tattooed a tiny heart on my own foot, just to see if it hurt it didnt. Now we feel-ready to do our little canine-kids, but weve procrastinated a bit on THAT.I so love being a FIRST...I would wager a bunch of money that Darrell Baker and I are the FIRST PEOPLE IN HISTORY WHO EVER PRACTICED TATTOOING GRAPEFRUIT UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR BED ON A SUNDAY MORNING. That is very likely a distinction we will always have and treasure.Till next time, SMILE A LOT, AND MEAN ITOlga Baker207 Shirleen Drive, Seabrook, TX 77586713 326-225]9P-JS PomsPatti Barnett 316 W.

Hollywood Road Baileyville, IX 61007The Pom Reader October 199110AKA Lois CilibertoTraveling with EdnaFond memories of Edna GirardotThere we were...me, my mother, my husband Bemie, and Edna Girardot, frantically trying to catch up with our train to Westminster. We missed it in Tampa we missed it in Plant City, we missed it in Lakeland, and our jet-propelled drive to Orlando would be our last resort. Thats when the policeman stopped Bemie, and Bemie discovered he had forgotten his drivers license. And thats when I reached behind me for the grooming box...In it was a small flask of brandy for the dogs. These were the days before NutriCal, and even though sugar or syrup worked, a lil brandy on the tongue can do wonders. Edna looked at me, I looked at her. Smokey was coming toward the car. Ber- nie was climbing out of the drivers seat. Mom was just sitting there with her wig over her eyes. Pretty soon she also stuck her fingers in her ears. Edna looked at the nip of brandy. She fumbled in her purse for an emergency flask of water she always carried. We tipped one together. Purely medicinal. Between her apoplexy and my heart attack we had to have some medical aid.OT Smokey was nice. He was fascinated. He looked in the window. Bern was giving him a long song and dance about this famous lady Edna who had not missed Westminster since 1929 and Smokey was listening with one ear and looking in the window and listening to the Pommies bark with the other. He apprised Mom with her fingers in her ears and bewigged eyes. He apprised Edna who was mumbling some unintelligibles about somebodys garden. He apprised me, who was sucking on a breath mint and sitting on the brandy flask. He apprised the back end of the wagon. 2 ice chests, 16 pieces of luggage, 2 ex pens, 2 grooming tables, 2 tack boxes, 2 wig boxes, 6 barking dogs and one kitchen sink...Yall been on radar since Lakeland. Did ya have a nice trip over was what Smokey said. My mom took one finger out of her ear, pushed up the wig and said, Oh, youre a nice gentleman Yes, we did. Couldnt have done better in my 4-on-the-floor, myself, if I do say so.Edna swooned then. I patted her back and got off the medicinal bottle and waved itThe Pom Reader October 1991under her nose. Smokey started to grin. His teeth were white and very, very big. He backed away from the car. So, that lady in there, shes been going to the Westinster show since 1929, huh Bern nodded, his Italianate tan faded to white. Yes, sir, and we missed the train in Tampa because of my shoelaces and then in Plant City and then in Lakeland, and now its rolling into Orlando and were never going to catch it. Smokey looked pointedly at his watch. He looked back at Edna. Her eyes were glazed, but they plainly begged for mercy.Smokey went up to his patrol car, got on his radio and we all just sat with baited breath. Smokey came back to the wagon. He handed Bernie a piece of paper. He peered in at Edna. Little lady, he said, have a nice time at the dog show. If you win, send me an autographed picture. And if you drive, he turned to Bernie, who was wiping sweat off his brow, if you drive within the speed limit and follow the shortcut I mapped out there, he motioned to the paper, you should make the train with 5 minutes to spare. Even as I talk its pulling into the platform and the station master, who says your mad chase has been hot on his wires all momin, is gonna hold it for you for fifteen minutes. Hurry...but dont break the law, this timeWhew www ww.Celebrities, we arrived at the station. All available red caps turned out to get our luggage aboard, people were staring out the windows, crowding the windows, some came out on the platform to watch and a special loading engineer appeared from within the station. He came to supervise the red caps and stood there taking count of the luggage that went into the baggage car and the baggage, and dogs, that went into the passenger car with us. The station master came out and shook our hands and asked Edna for her autograph. MY mom was in the wagon, wig perched gaily on her head, fiddling with the gizmos on Ednas wagons dashboard and checking out the power brakes. Never used to automatics I wondered, as I watched her depart the station from my train window, what she was going to do without a clutch and a gear shift- Part IIContinued from Septemberand if Smokey was just waiting for her to come hauling down 1-4 on her way back to Tampa. I shrugged. Mom had always been able to take care of herself. At any rate, I was sure when I got to New York thered be a message waiting from her. For better or for worse.Settling the 6 dogs in the 2 compartments took a while, as the train slowly picked up speed and headed for Sanford and Jacksonville, beyond. Edna finally came to our room and said, Well, lets get into that ice chest. Im famished. Its amazing what Italian sausage and cheese with crackers will do for ones attitude. All our troubles were behind.Until we began to perspire. A little at first, then heavily. Bernie opened the train window. Edna began to worry about her dogs. I put mine in the bathroom on newspapers, the crates having become too hot. Then came the porter, knocking on doors. Air conditioning is on the fritz. Gonna change cars in Jacksonville. Be ready to disembark and get aboard the new car.Great. It took 4 red caps and 3 porters and 1 engineer to get us aboard and now we had to re-get aboard I thought Edna would die laughing. She just kept laughing and laughing. She was still laughing quite a bit when we chugged into Grand Central Station at 9 a.m. the next morning. I could still hear her laughing as our porter took us out one door of the car and hers took her through another. Then Bern and I were in the mob scene at Grand Central and our porter was leading us fast, faster, and slam, we were in a taxi and I couldnt find Edna anywhere Oh, my God. Dont worry, Bemie kept saying, Remember Edna knows her way around. She has attended the Garden every year since 1929We were still standing in line arguing over the room reservations with an uncooperative desk clerk, along with about 50 other Pom fanciers, who were arguing with equally uncooperative desk clerks, when the front doors of the lobby were opened by a doorman, snow swirled in and here came Edna, walking and puffing, behind a Grand Central Porter pushing a cart full of luggage and dogs, with the ice chest and the kitchen sink very precariously balanced...Continued11,9lir Edna Girardot with Ch. Scotia Caviliers Leader, Ch. Scotia Dividend, and Ch. Scotia End of the Rainbow in 1963 Photo William BrownTraveling with Edna continued... Edna, everyone yelled in chorus. She was no longer laughing. And neither was the porter when he looked at the tip Edna had pressed into his outstretched paw. He looked at the bills and then at her. Lady, he said, and everyone was listening, Lady, whats this Your tip, came her reply. Lady, cmon. Its 75 cents per package and youve got- he turned to count - 15 packages and THEN we count the tipEdna peeled off more bills and turned around to me. Im flying home, Lois, I swear. No more trains for me This isnt civilized. I have no idea how to this day, but somehow our station porter got us nonworld-wary travelers out of the mob scene and into a taxi and Ednas station porter somehow got her out of the mob scene and onto the streets of New York, where she had traipsed to the hotel through the snow, porter in tow. Plus, she has lost her grooming case with all the expensive scissors and so forth and a wig case. She had the wig, but no case. This was, mind, in the days in the early 70s when wearing wigs was quite haute couture and I was equipped with same - it had nothing to do with Ednas ageOur hijinks in the Big Apple during our stay for the specialty and the benching at the Garden were on the same par as our attempt to arrive there. But we had loads of fun. Edna shared a room with Mary Jane Wilson, deceased now some years, who had in her young years been a lead singer with the Tommy Dorsey band, and Mary Jane, living in Connecticut came to the hotel equipped with 3 more ice chests Our adjoining rooms became a very popular night spot. Food, food and more food. But there is never enough food. We and a group set out for Momma Leones Italian Ristorante. That was a marvelous experience. Except cabbies always know who is a New Yorker and who isnt. We had to split into two large limo taxis. The one with several New York natives in it arrived at Momma Leones at the proper time. The one I wound up in, minus Edna and Bemie, took 45 minutes. We went the round about, tourist-you-pay route. Edna got a big kick out of that. It was snowing again as we retrieved our coats from the hat check gal. The maitre d mosied over to our group. He spied short, dark, and very Italian Bernie. He began bowing and scraping. He kept saying things in Italian to Bernie. Then he ran out the door and down the middle of the snow-covered, vacant street. It was very late. Next thing we knew two limo taxis pulled up and we were ushered in by the huff-puffing, street-running maitre d.What was going on Bernie finally told us. The poor guy mistook Bemie for someone else. He had been saying in Sicilian Italian that he was very sorry about the last time, and he wanted no more broken noses. He would do anyting we wanted. Anything. Bernie said all we needed were taxis...and we got em, f-a-s-t. Edna never laughed so hard. Everytime we ate spaghetti and Italian sausage she remembered Momma Leones and their famous cheeses and the Sicilian maitre d with the twice-broken nose.Edna did come home on the train with us. She changed her mind at the last minute. We got home without further incident, but her claim for her lost groom and wig case went unanswered. They never showed up. The next 2 trips we took together we flew. We doped Bern up on valiums slipped in his morning tea and loaded him in the plane and unloaded him when we got there. And when we went to local dog shows, Edna drove. Always, though, with one eye on the rear view mirror and possible Smokeys. She told me some years later that she did sent that trooper, who had left his address on the paper he gave Bern, an autographed picture of the bitch she went BOS with at that Garden.Edna was like that. She never forgot a kindness. She loved being with people. She never mentioned her handicaps, never mentioned her somewhat sad early life nor spoke much about Charlies death, although it must have left her very lonely. Charlie was an avid dog fancier and a prudent geneticist. He mapped out the program that led to the ScotiaPom success. Edna is buried now beside him. Had we known of the funeral we would have been there to say goodbye. Yet, again, maybe that would have been too sad, too final. During our time together we had ups and downs, even personality clashes. Our friendship was not a totally smooth bed of roses. No friendship ever is. But our respect for one another and our pleasure in sharing some of the fun things in life was always there in the shadowl. Edna did not like goodbyes. In our minds, there never will really be one.And this small tribute to her and our old friendship is but too scanty. It would take a book to recount all the thick and thin, the fun and the merriment, the fortunate and the unfortunate that we shared. Scanty as it is, mayhap there are those who will know a little more about the Edna who so many thought cared for nothing but dogs and wins and success. Edna did care highly for those things her very success proves it. But she also cared for everyone out there in the Pom world. Never had she a sorry word to say about anybody. And she listened with patience when sorry words were said about her. She listened and cleaned it out of her mind. She just went on. If she has an epitaph, I hope it readsNever give up. There will always be setbacks and disappointments, but you must always keep on going.

All this means it that he has characteristics of both signs.2 Without casting a real horoscope, one cant tell what sign is rising. Another sign rising gives a slightly different personality. If your dogs is bom in, say, Gemini, yet acts more like a Scorpio, chances are he has Scorpio rising. For now you might as well disregard the rising sign.Beginning with the Fire signs, we find this group to be a lively, fiery, self-centered bunch, full of a certain pride and stateliness not found in the other signs.ARIES. The Aries dog is apt to be too full of fight, and tends to lose its head quickly. He is not timid or flighty, but rather bold, strong-willed and noble. The Aries dog thinks himself the family wonder-child, and will push his people around if not trained properly.LEO. The Leo is a magnificent, showy dog, with the bearing of a king. He loves admiration above all else, and his loyalty is strong. In training, appeal to his love of praise and fair treatment and you will be well rewarded. SAGITTARIUS. To the Sagittarius dog, the show ring is a great game. The excitement all around him attracts him, so he is a great lover of good friends and good times. He is a confident, good-natured chap.The Earth signs differ in that they tend to be much more stable, and more interested in doing a good job right the first time. They excel in Obedience.TAURUS. The Taurus dog loves the outdoors, good food, and lots of exercise. He takes to Obedience work well, since his love of perfection comes out under such training.The Pom Reader October 1991ARIES TAUJRUS GEMINI CANCER LEO VIRGO LIBRA SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS CAPRICORN AQUARIUS PISCESHe can be stubborn.CAPRICORN. The Capricorn, like the Taurus, is an advocate of the great outdoors. When guarded well against sickness in pup- pyhood, the Capricorn dog tends to live a very long life. He could excel as a tracker, since he takes such delight in the having discovered something or outwitted someone. VIRGO. The Virgo dog loves perfection. He loves to do a task exactly the way it is to be done. As a puppy he may seem almost to absorb knowledge, or breathe it in. Never give too much sympathy to an ailing Virgo, or he will imagine himself much sicker than he really is.The Air signs have a tendency to flightiness or nervousness, as do the water signs. The friendly Air sign is very endearing, and they love activity and travel. GEMINI. The Gemini is ever-shifting in mood, and can be rather nervous. Training to a Gemini must be gentle and friendly. The Gemini enjoys the shows, travel, and companionship. The dull life is not for him. AQUARIUS. Friendliness is the trademark of the Aquarius. He loves harmony and good friends. He is not one to take much abuse, verbal or otherwise, in training, and will only learn with lots of praise and no losing of the temper. Be your Aquarius good friend as well as master, and you have the key to hisA fire sign An earth sign An air sign A water sign A fire sign An earth sign An air sign A water sign A fire sign An earth sign An air sign A water signloyalty.LIBRA The Libra is best trained in short lessons, or he may lose interest and do poorly. Be gentle and fair in training, or your Libras composure may be lost. He is a loving creature, and very friendly socially.The Water signs must be handled even more gently. They are among the sweetest, most loyal of dogs, and need you more than you would think.PISCES. The most sensitive of all, the Pisces dog must be raised in a quiet, loving atmosphere. Take care to train him without letting him fear you. He can be rather lazy, and has a tendency to become overweight. SCORPIO. The Scorpio dog is active, high- strung, domineering, and can be very jealous. Dont excite this jealousy. Training should be kept quiet and gentle. CANCER. The home is the true place of the Cancerian dog. While generally peace- loving, he will fight with terrible fury for his home and master. Loyalty runs strong here. Keep your training kind, so that he never learns to fear you. Most flighty, unstable water signs learned this temperament from unkind or short-tempered masters.Sally Baugniet 9411 S.

What should you expect and look for in a veterinarian Foremost to me is the ability to be able to talk to my vet and have him really listen. If you have a sick animal no one is able to assess the situation and symptoms better than the owner. Your vet should be willing to answer any questions you might have and be able to explain any necessary procedures to be performed. So there are no surprises, the fees should be discussed before you agree to the service to be performed.Before you choose a veterinarian, be sure to ask friends and fellow dog owners for recommendations. In my case, I interviewed three vets and toured three clinics before I made a choice. Of extreme importance to me were the hours and the emergency care facilities. Evening and weekend hours are important to working career people. Also, emergency care services are vital to a breeder. You need to know what emergency clinic is available if your vets office is closed. Also, the staff and facility are important. A friendly and happy staff reflect pleasant working conditions and a good employer. A clean facility also indicated dedications to the profession.Of importance are the services that are offered and what services are available through referral. Examples would be cardiologists, dermatologists, and surgical services. Be sure your vet clinic is a full-service operation and can meet your needs. Anesthesia For C-Section By Dr. William Martin, DVM Submitted by Mark Lenhart The following article is written by Dr. William Martin DVM of Fletcher, NC, with all toy dogs in mind. The subject is Caesarian sections, as many of us know, too many bitches are lost to C-sections not to the surgical procedure itself, but from the anesthetic.The Pom Reader October 1991So, with this in mind I asked my vet, Dr. Martin, if he would be interested in writing an article on his procedures and the problems of anesthesia.Dr. Martin is a fine man who puts his career first. He cares very much about animals and their treatment. He is also a certified acupuncturist and has helped many animals with this treatment but thats another story. Dr. Martin has been a veterinarian since 1961. He has performed hundreds of Caesarian sections on toy dogs with great success. Never has a dog been lost on Dr. Martins table due to anesthesia.I hope the following article can help save some of our beloved animals. The article is printed as written by Dr. Martin.ANESTHESIA FOR C-SECTIONDr. William Martin, DVMCaesarian sections have twice the problems that most surgeries have due to the problem of the anesthetic crossing the placental barrier. As the anesthetic crosses the barriers, the pups can be removed from the uterus already anesthetized before their lungs have ever been exposed to oxygen. Pups in this state have to be maintained through massage artificial respiration andor a positive oxygen flow until the anesthesia agent is metabolized. As a result of anesthetic crossing placental barriers, a lot of pups die during Caesarian section.Since 1961 I have tried many anesthetic procedures. The first was morphine with atropine, which was how we were taught in vet school. The morphine a narcotic was for sedation and the atropine was to stop bronchial secretions and salivation. Then we gave lidocaine, a local anesthetic, at the incision line. Owners reported that the bitch and puppies cried a lot for 24 to 72 hours before they seemed to return to a normal state.In 1968 I started using an anesthetic gas called Fluothane using acepromazine a tranquilizer plus atropine as a pre-anestheticand then intubating the bitch for fluothane. This worked fairly well but the tranquilizer kept the bitch and pups sedated for 24-48 hours. Owners would have to be available at all times to be sure the bitch looked after the pups and did not crush them.Innovar vet, another pre-anesthetic medication which enhances barbiturates and reduces the requirements for general anesthesia plus the atropine and fluothane were my third choice the bitch and puppies still remained in a prolonged, soporific state.Choice number 4 consisted of light doses of sodium thiopental a barbiturate administered at the minimal dosage required to relax the bitch for intubation followed by inhalation therapy with fluothane. This regimen was promptly abandoned because of the same unfortunate results of prolonged sedation experienced with other anesthetic combinations.After reviewing all the combinations of anesthesia that I had tried, I decided to try masking the bitch down with fluothane only. This is where we actually put a rubber mask over the bitchs muzzle and physically restrain her until she is anesthetised. At this point we intubate her with an endotracheal tube and continue with fluothane anesthesia - sometimes I give dexamethasone intravenously and start a flow of lactated Ringers I.V., too. This is to prevent shock.When anesthesia is administered by a mask only, the pet or in this case the bitch goes through a voluntary excitement stage at first. Then when she is partially anesthetized she goes through an involuntary excitement stage. I feel this is very traumatic to the pet, therefore I like to have the owner with the pet as she is being anesthetized. As an added precaution I use the fluids and dexamethasone to prevent shock. I also do not give atropine until the bitch starts to wake up. This way the pups do not receive any atropine effects. This type of anesthesia was fantastic pups would come out crying and mother would walk out within 15-20 minutes after having the gas turned off.This method of anesthesia, was great on small to medium dogs large dogs andAnesthesia and the C-Sectioncontinued...large dogs and brachycephallic dogs created problems. Large dogs that could not be restrained to be masked down were given enough pentothal to relax and then they were masked on down to the point we can intubate them. At this point I leave the large bitch on fluothane very lightly to let the liver start to detoxify the pentothal before I start surgery. With the brachycephallic breeds Pekingese, Pug, etc. that do not have a muzzle to put a mask over, I use a plastic bag. The plastic bag that boxes of syringes come in are ideal. They are tough, and hard to tear. I cut a hole in the end and tape my anesthetic tube to the bag. I put a very large amount of ophthalmic ointment in both eyes fit the bag over the bitchs head and have an assistant secure it while having a hand place over the eyes. This forces her to close her eyes to prevent any possibility of corneal damage due to the fluothane. When she is relaxed we then intubate her with an endotrachial tube and proceed as above.After using fluothane for twenty years I learned that chronic exposure would cause liver problems in the operator and sometimes the patient. I mask most of my bitches down so therefore I was exposed more than most vets. In 1988 I converted my anesthetic machines to a new gas called Isoflurane. It is supposed to be easier on old vets and old pets. Puppies do not wake up quite as fast unless we keep the bitch very lightly anesthetized. I have not had any trouble so far with Isoflurane using the procedure I described earlier. I myself feel safer using this anesthetic gas.I will not describe the surgical procedure in this article because each vet has his or her own technique. I strongly feel that pets are not lost most times due to surgery but due to anesthesia, therefore, performing surgery as quickly as possible to shorten the time spent under anesthetic is of the essence.Stud Dog Lamentby Nancy BottMy job is making puppies and I get two tries at that.They pat me on the head and say Good Boy and that is that.Its half my job to give them teeth and toplines, fronts and otherRemember, its only half my job... they also have a Mother.Its not my job to carry pups, and make em grow and nurse emAnd feed and clean and make em strong Thats for mother and a Person.
