The other day a friend said to me,I heard a rumor that your property is for sale. Well, we have been thinking about it, due to several reasons one, there is so much building going on all around us that we are no longer in the country two, we are getting very tired of maintaining a large piece of property with numerous buildings with roofs that need to be routinely replaced, and...three, those damn kids down the road. I mean it I get so mad at those kids Id like to strangle them. They careen up and down the road at incredible speeds they swerve in and out of the ditches and spin doughnuts on peoples lawns. One day not too long ago Duane went out to get the mail. He collected the days arrival, took two steps, and...the mailbox disappeared. It reappeared on the grill of the car that had just knocked it down. Duane is lucky that hes light on his feet.Speaking of which, a fine time was had by all at the Central Florida Kennel Clubs Rock and Roll 50s dog show and party. This event, in the middle of a three-show cluster, is underwritten by Kal Kan and coordinated by Diane Albers, President of the Club. You will remember that last year the theme was the Roaring Twenties Everybody roared and nobody was twenty. This year everybody rocked and rolled and everybody was...in a good mood. It was a gas, and next month we will have photos to prove it.But back to those kids. The other night they decided to have even more fun, and spray painted quaint little sayings on our white board fence and the fence of our neighbors. Real cute things, like I hate Kelly, and love Sean. Then they painted the traffic signs Go Go Go, instead of Stop, and 95 instead of 25 mph. But the best thing they did was this...on the pavement out on TC Road they wrote their names. Now, I dont know about you, but I know about me were I to decide to deface property, Im not sure Id sign my name. Extremely intelligent are these little punks.But just when you think that you have trouble, you, you hear really bad news, and you realize just how good you have it. I want to take a moment to wish our deepest condolences to Cheryl Jackson and Joel Taylor on the death of Cheryls brother, Joseph Jackson, in a tragic accident over the July 4th Holiday. Our thoughts are with you and your family. But back to the little maniacs down the street I just dont understand. You see, when 1 was a kid we had a lot of fun, and none of it had to do with wrecking or demolishing anything. We always thought of more innovative ways to get our kicks. And the most innovative of all was my crazy friend Michael.Michael was really crazy, although in later years I learned the term Emotionally Disturbed. Boomerang family finances and alcoholic parents had made deep ruts in Michaels mental road at a very early age. But I didnt care I liked him better than anyone else around and he was a lot of fun. Of course, sometimes his fun approached the maniacal. Like the games he would play in Woolworths. We hated this one waitress, who had a very irritating voice. Well, Michael, an extremely good mimic, decided to have some fun. One day, while we were eating our banana splits, this waitress roared up to the little window out of which the food came and yelled Hot Dawg and Ralishl. And out came a Hot Dawg and Ralish. A little while later, she repeated the order and the order was repeated. A chill went up my spine I knew that Michael was going to switch into his fun mode. And that he did hiding behind a menu, he screeched Hot Dawg and Ralish and it magically appeared. In fascination, I watched as he repeated it Hot DawgThe Pom Reader July 1988and Ralish and an additional frankfurter was forthcoming. When the fifth hot dog appeared I was on my bike and out of there.One day a neighbor lady was sunning herself and Michael was mad at her. He snuck up, quiet as a mouse, crawled under her chaise and made noises like a rattlesnake. You should have seen old Bertha haul it out of there. But the best little caper Michael pulled off was the Bathroom Trick, and it is not for the fainthearted, so if you cant handle it, turn the page. Down the street there was a University Professor who, like many scholars, was very intelligent and extremely dumb. We played a lot of tricks on this fellow, but they paled in comparison to The Bathroom Trick.Of course, not all of Michaels capers came off without a hitch. One time we were bored in the library. We got on the elevator, waited until the doors were closing, and then screamed, for some reason, Everyone knows its Windy The doors slammed shut, we collapsed with laughter, and in our glee forgot to push the Down button. The doors opened and we popped out...right into the arms of one Irate Librarian. But Michael made up for that one with...The Bathroom Trick.One afternoon Michael and I were skulking around the neighborhood, and found ourselves, not surprisingly, in Mr. Meyers back yard. Suddenly Michael got that familiar glint in his eyes, and I thought, Uh oh, here comes trouble. Michael pulled a trash can up to one of the back windows, hopped on top and in a kindergarten voice yelled, Mr. Meyer Mr. Meyer What are you doing I hissed. Michael said, Just a second - this is gonna be great Then Michael again hollered through the window, Mr. Meyer Mr. MeyerAs realization dawned on me a muffled voice came through the door on the other end of the bathroom into which Michael was yelling. Yes Michael then said, Mr. Meyer Mr. Meyer There is no toy-lit tiss-yoo At this point I was writhing on the ground trying to contain my mirth. We heard nothing for a second, so I stood up to peak through the window. And as a I looked I saw...a hand, poking through the door, holding a roll of...you guessed it.I dont know how long Mr. Meyer stood there delivering toy-lit tiss-you to an empty bath, because was in my own back yard, at the top of a tree, reading an Archie comic book. And looking very innocent.But not everything about Michael was hot dogs and giggles. He had deepset problems and a volcanic atmosphere at home. Down the road he was removed to some facility or other, then to a foster home, and I lost track of him. Many years later a young man walked into a tour home I owned in Galena, Illinois. He looked familiar. Sure enough, it was Michael. I hugged him and expressed my pleasure in seeing my old friend and accomplice in mischief. We went down the street for a Coke. And he was subdued. Quiet. No spark in the eyes. No smirk on the lips. Nothing. Wherever they had taken him, they had normalled him numb. And that great creative mind was dead.Ive never worried too much about running with the pack and fitting in. They made Michael fit in, and look where it got him. Michael, wherever you are, I hope youre laughing.But nobodys laughing about those kids down the street...but just wait. There are several of us around here that remember how to have fun, and were planning some surprises for those kids. And believe you me, they wont forget right away.Until August, stay cool, and dont fall for the Bathroom Trick.With apologies to the whole neighborhood.JMcG7JDS POMPOUS POMSChampion JDs Bella DonnaBell is our second home-bred Champion in just over a monthThis SUPER Sound little girl loves to perform for an audience and even though she can be a naughty little stinker, she wins the hearts of one and all.Our deepest gratitude goes to her handler, Timothy Reese, who shows these little Toys to perfection.

As most all serious Pomeranian fanciers are, in one way or another, involved in campaigning their Poms for AKC Championship points, we feel that it is important to keep tabs on the Pomeranian doings in this area.The procedures for tallying the point scale are as followsThe source for all points is the official show awards book of the AKC Gazette. Only this publication will be used for point credits. Exhibitors are credited with all AKC Championship points won in the Gazette year, and published monthly according to appearance in the Gazette. As keeping track of each and every AKC show in the UnitedStates is an onerous task accomplished diligently by AKC, many times the actual show dates will vary from the date of publication i.e.- a September show may not be published until December.. The Gazette year, as a rule, runs from about November of the previous year until September of the present calendar year.Points are allotted to THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE DOG AT THE TIME OF COMPETITION.Statistician Susan Wade.

Readers must bear in mind that the average airline employee is not a dog lover, and is less than enthusiastic about shipping dogs. The only way we can protect our animals in flight is to make it extremely uncomfortable for the airline when they do not HANDLE WITH CARE. JMcG]In the last issue I talked about the preparation for shipping our Poms by air. It is very important that you insure the dog for the purchase price. This is done at the Air Cargo counter prior to shipping, for a small fee.The second part of this article will deal with the sick or dead Pom on arrival and what procedures you should take.MEETING THE POM AT THE AIRPORTAlways check the Pom over for any signs of stress. In my case the pup was weaving and had difficulty standing. If you suspect the pup is sick, tell the Clerks in the Cargo office. Take the Pom out of the crate immediately and give himher a drink of WATER and some NUTRICAL you have these with you from home. If its dehydration from the flight, the pup should perk up within minutes. If the Pom was shipped C.O.D., make sure you pay before you leave the Cargo office. Do not refuse to pay regardless that the pup arrived sick. You are only covered by the insurance providing you pay the C.O.D. as previously arranged. If the shipping and insurance is prepaid, you are insured.From the airport take the dog directly to the nearest Veterinarian. Do not take the dog home first, as it could mean losing your insurance claim should the dog die. Take the crate with you when you go to the Vet and have him make a report on all his findings.EXAMPLE If the dog was a tiny pup shipped in a bare crate with no blanket, etc...then the Vet might say the dogs condition was due to the shippers neglect. If this were the case,I would send a copy of the Vets report to the shipper along with the bill.This is an example just to show the importance of a Vets report. In this instance, the claim would be a personal one between the buyerseller, the airline would not be involved.WHAT TO DO IF THE POM IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL OR DIES SHORTLY AFTERIf the dog arrives dead, inform the clerks at the Cargo office. This is a good time to throw a tantrum should you desire As devestated as you would be, it wouldnt be hard to do. The more attention you demand wont allow them to forget you two months later when they are doing their inquiry. Also make sure they know it was a Pom. If the Breed registers, it helps. After paying your shipping bill, take the dog to the nearest Vet. Again, the dog should be with his shipping crate. Explain to the Vet that the dog arrived in this condition and that you require a full report in order to claim your insurance. Request four copies of the report.Have the Vet send the dog away for an autopsy, requesting five copies of that report. A Government Lab is the best. Usuallythe Vet and Lab will send their reports directly to the Airline Claims. You should also have the Vet call the Air Cargo office and Claims office immediately after the dog dies if it dies in his office or if the dog was Dead on Arrival. This just backs up your claim when it is fresh in everyones mind and it also confirms your observation of the dogs condition at the time of arrival. It also alerts the claims Officer that there was a mishap. You should be there with the Vet when he makes his call just in case you are required to answer any questions.Explain everything in detail on the phone and in writing to the Airline Claims. This includes the time the pup left the shippers residence to the time you picked up the dog. Always explain, in detail, what you did for the dog if it was still alive to help it before it died. No detail or observation on your part is too small to mention. Always inform the shipper of the mishap no matter how painful it might be.Here are a few tips that can help1 Before shipping have the dog examined by a Vet. Get a Health Certificate. This should be done a few days prior to shipping.2 Make sure you get a receipt for the total purchase price of the dog.3 FOUR copies of the Vet report. FIVE copies of the Autopsy report. The following is a list of who should get copies.1 Vet2 Air Claims3 Shipper4 Receiver you5 Laboratory just Lab report4 Send a letter to the Claims Office with every detail in writing. Including Vet visit and phone calls made, etc. Always use your Airway Bill number on all correspondence.5 Should you receive a notice stating that you are not covered, re-write them with more details. You may also state in your second note that you wont use their airline again to ship or receive dogs [Ed. note - better yet, not use the airline for any service, including human travel. J]6 Airlines only insure for loss and damage of goods. Only under some circumstances will they insure for Death. This is why a Health Certificate is vital. If you can prove that the dog was healthy before shipping, you stand a better chance for claiming damages.7 If the dog arrives with broken bones, etc., you would follow the same procedure as for sick. Only I would throw a real tantrum.I hope this in some way will help any of you who may have to deal with Insurance claims, when shipping by air. In my case the Airline was Air Canada and they did indeed pay in my favour and were quite apologetic.Karen BradshawThe Pom Reader July 198815ALLAYNS offer for salerBESTOF VJMCRSALLAYNS SWEET SORCERYCh.

In humans, there are adult doses, pediatric doses, doses for patients with renal kidney disease, doses for patients with liver disease, doses for patients with cardiac heart disease, etc. In veterinary practice, there are cat doses, wild animal doses, dog doses, horse doses, etc. Should a Bullmastiff receive a similar anesthetic dose as a Chihuahua The answer is NO But here lies another problem. Is just a dose by weight and age the answer Again, NOIt has been found that cats are more sensitive to medications than dogs, and it takes less to do the same. It has been found that the sighthound breeds are more sensitive than other breeds their size and weight and are easily over-anesthetized if dosed by weight. Why To over-simplify the answer, it is due to a difference of bone density between breeds and species and the different bone-mass-to-muscle-mass ratio ratio. Dogs that are speedy have lighter bones, having more air spaces in them, making the animal more capable of speed.Valuable insight was gained into how this relates to Toys through my own misfortune. My Papillon, Ch. Josandres The Masters Touch traumatically ruptured an intervertebral disc slipped a disc and was operated on not once, but twice. The second surgery was necessary because the repair of the area from the first surgery did not hold because of the lightness of the bone involved. Master is a young dog and there was no evidence of disc disease or prior injury to the area. Subsequent repair was done similarly to the procedure the veterinarians use on cats, with great success. Bone samples from the surgery were studied because I had told the anesthesiologist about deaths under anesthesia and he was intrigued, as was a colleague at another veterinary school in Georgia. The bone samples showed density and trabeculation the way the bone is laid down and air trapping were similar to sighthound bone density. So if Toys are dosed by weight, they may be getting too muchNot only is the dose of a medication or anesthetic agent important, but the type of medication is also important. Most anesthesias involve premedicating the dog with a secretion drying- up agent and a sedation agent. Narcotics and barbiturates both suppress breathing respiration. Narcotics and their effects on the dog are reversible with the narcotic antagonist agents Narcan and Naloxone. Barbiturates and their effects are not reversible and the animal must metabolize use up the drug and excrete it from the body by way of the liver andor kidney.Premedication to reduce secretions and block vagal nerve reflexes, like spasm of the windpipe trachea and low heart rate bradycardia, is also necessary for the safety of the dog. For Toys, both anesthesia departments at the two consulting veterinary schools recommend a drug called glycopyrrolate or Robinul brand name. This is like the human drug atropine used most frequently before surgery in man. This drug, when given pre-operatively, reduces salivary mouth, tracheobronchial lung and pharyngael throat secretions reduces the volume and free acidity of gastric stomach secretions and blocks cardiac heart, vagal nerve inhibitory reflexes bradycarcia and bronchospasm during induction of anesthesia and intubation placing a tube in the throat. The drugmay also be used intra-operatively during surgery to counteract drug-induced or vagal nerve reflex-induced arrhythmias irregular heartbeat. The onset of action when given by vein is one minute. It cannot be used with the older gas anesthetic agent cyclopropane. Also, there are medications available to reverse the effects of glycopyrrolate if necessary.The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Health Newsletter Volume 4, No. 6, August 1986 reported on a relatively new gas anesthetic agent that may save future dogs ISOFLURANE. This agent was originally developed for use on horses, who also have a sensitivity to anesthetic agents. It has been found to work equally well on smaller animals such as dogs and cats. Unfortunately, while it has SIGNIFICANT advantages over other anesthetics for small animals it is less likely to produce heartbeat irregularities than halothane and less likely to cause kidney or liver toxicity than methoxyflurane, it is expensive. It also requires the use of a different type of gas anesthesia delivery apparatus than the other two mentioned gases. THE EXTRA COST IS WORTH IT Many of the veterinary hospitals in my hometown of Houston, Texas, have switched over to this agent because of its SAFETY when compared to the other agents.On the issue of premedication, barbiturates, the time-honored agent used to premedicate humans as well as animals before surgery or teeth cleaning in dogs, should not be used on some Toys except in doses suitable for cats or not at all, because the effects are not reversible. Barbiturates are the agents used when we put a dog down. The veterinary college anesthesia departments consulted recommend narcotics, in particular NUMORPHAN. This is oxymorphone hydrochloride and is a semi-synthetic narcotic substitute for morphine, and is reversible with Narcan if too much is given. This drug is currently a human product, but Pittman- Moore, a veterinary drug company, will be bringing it out under veterinary labels shortly. Another new generation drug that will do well is BUTORPHANOL, another synthetic narcotic reversible by Narcan.Many veterinarians have claimed that one cannot adequately clean a dogs teeth without the dog being completely asleep with gas anesthesia, as the ultrasound cleaning device disturbs most animals. This is simply not true. I persuaded my own veterinarian to try teeth cleaning under only very light sedation with a narcotic and Voila...he is now a believer. I have even had puppy teeth extracted under local anesthesia or very light narcotic sedation. While the new drugs are safer and veterinary knowledge becoming more fine tuned, it is still wisest not to put a Toy under gas anesthesia or barbiturate anesthesia unless absolutely necessary.If your veterinarians have any question, please have them contact me and I will try to answer all questions or forward them to the appropriate authorities at the veterinary colleges.I hope this information can help prevent future anesthetic deaths in our dogs. BUT, nothing is ever completely safe in medicine, and unfortunately, we will always lose a few.DSuzanne B.

We now have 55 members and are still growing. We held our first ALL TOY MATCH on 327 at the Holiday Inn, Akron, Ohio. It went just great lots of entries lots of happy people...and 15 POMS represented our Breed quite well. Two Poms placed in the Groups ANIMATIONS BABY HUEY owned by Damella Powell, and IDLE ACRES AMERICAN TALE owned by Shari Stoffer. The facilities were just fantastic all indoors and all went very smoothly. Were hoping to have another here in the fall.In July, OVPC will hold our Annual Picnic and YardGarage Sale near Strasburg, Ohio. We hope many people will come and see us. For more information, get in touch with Lorinda Vasuta or Secretary Betty Lepera. 216 733-1453.The June meeting hosted our first annual Awards Banquet as well as our election of officers. I will have more about that later...We are very proud of our OVPC members that have been doing such outstanding things in the show ring...Olga Baker, who is one of our charter members, is, as everyone knows, co-owner of THE GREAT CH. GREAT ELMS PRINCE CHARMING II. We congratulate her again on Princes wonderful win at Westminster. What a super tribute to our terrific little breed. But...did you know that right here in Ohio, another of our club members has a Pom that has won THREE BESTS IN SHOW in the past 2 months Bonnie Stetson of Akron, Ohio and her CH. GREAT ELMS PRIDE AND JOY who is handled by Karen Albrecht have been rolling right along. They won their first BIS in Minneaspolis in March, then in April they took BACK-TO-BACK BESTS IN SHOW here in Ohio. We certainly hope they continue their winning ways.Lorinda Vasuta and Darren Lane have just finished two lovely little girls...both are charmers. Ron Feyh just finished his nice little male. Ron is a super guy - he has done so much for our club. Whenever he and Larry Rookstool are around, there is NEVER a dull moment. Both are always coming up with great ideas for new things. For our recent Anniversary meeting and Toy match, they went together and surprised all of us by bringing TWO beautiful anniversary cakes one to the meeting and the other one to our Match where judge Dorothy Kralik helped cut it.Well, the weather here in Ohio is typical Spring one day hot and muggy, the next day chilly and wet. [Ed. note What does chilly mean JMcG] But there are those few in-between beauties that make the rest worthwhile. Clean, fresh air that smells so good gentle wind that rustles the sheets that are finally hanging OUTSIDE on the line...lots of green grass growing too fast to keep up with but it smells so good after it is first cut...welcome, warm sun shining in through windows that could use another squirt of Windex...yes, thats spring in Ohio, and I love it so. The Poms are full of it as they run and play in the fresh green grass...they roll rear chase each other across the yard. Its great to watch them tumble around...then lay down with little back legs all stretched out behind them, belly deep in the cool green grass.Like all the Seasons, Spring is special in its own way. Its like everything gets a chance to start all over again. Happy Spring to all, and HAPPY POMS TO ALL even though it will be summer by the time you read this. Bobbie StofferThe Pom Reader July 1988LETTERSDear Duane Joe,I just wanted to drop a note and let you know about the recent Fun Match I attended. It was sponsored by the South Carolina Federation of Dogs Clubs and was held in Columbia, South Carolina. The Match was a judges training match. A licensed judge and 4-5 trainee judges went over each dog entered. I was fortunate enough for an adult Pom and a puppy Pom to place in the Group judging with a Group I and a Group II. By the time the day was over at least eight judges had gone over my dogs. It was excellent exposure for my dogs plus valuable ring experience.I highly suggest every exhibitor take advantage of this type of Fun Match if one is ever held in their area.Sincerely, Sharon Masnick, Huger, S.C.To Whom It May Concern,I have enclosed a check to continue my subscription to your fabulous magazine The Pom Reader.

Pegdens Cactus Jack, a 2-yearoldmale Wirehaired Dachshund, took a long leap forward on his short, sturdy legs by winning the Best in Show award at the third annual Purina Invitational Dog Show May 2, 1988, in suburban St. Louis.With Reserve Best in Show being won by a 3-year- old female DobermanPinscher named Ch. Royal Tudors Wild as the Wind, the Purina Invitational has now showcased six different breeds in the top two positions in its first three years of competition. All proceeds from the Invitational once again benefit The Dog Museum, which relocated from New York City to the Jarville House, an historic 19th century house located in Queeny Park in suburban St. Louis County last November. The 15,000 raised at this years show brings the total amount raised for the Dog Museum from the first three Purina In- vitationals to more than 57,000.The Purina Invitational Dog Show, the only invitational held for the top dogs in all breeds in the United States, featured 323 entrants from 40 states and Canada. Representing 137 of the total 151 breeds and varieties recognized by the American Kennel Club, the entrants were ranked among the top dogs in their respective breeds, as determined by AKC records for 1987 competitions.This years Invitational was filmed by the USA Cable Network and will be telecast on Tuesday, July 26 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern, and rebroadcast from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Wednesday, July 27. Dorothy Welsh, president of The Dog Museum, provided color commentary of the proceedings.Agent Mark Stephenson led Ch. Pegdens Cactus Jack through his paces at the Best in Show competition following successful Best of Breed and Group participation earlier in the day. Cactus Jack is owned by Carl G. Nancy Jo Fein of Tacoma, Washington. Reserve Best in Show Ch. Royal Tudors Wild as the Wind, whose agent is Andy Linton, is owned by Arthur Susan Korp and Beth Wilhite of San Jose, California.An eminent panel of eight judges, including Best in Show judge Mrs. Robert V. Lindsay, participated in breed and group judging at the Invitational. All judging was done in accordance with American Kennel Club rules and regulations, with the exception of Reserve Best in Show."The diversity of championship caliber dogs has been very much evident at the first three Purina Invitationals, said George P. Cook, Director of professional programs for Ralston Purina. Having six different breeds finish first and second over the three years indicates the high quality of breeding and showing across the spectrum of American Kennel Club recognized breeds and varieties.Along with 2,500 in prize money, Cactus Jack will have his name engraved on the Silver Loving Cup that is permanently displayed in the lobby of the Dog Museum. Cactus jack joins last years winner, the German Shorthaired Pointer named Ch. NMKs Brittania V Sibelstein, and inaugural winner Ch. Devon Puff and Stuff, the Bichon Frise, on the Cups honor roll.Winners in the seven Variety Groups included Herding Group, judge Mrs. Maynard K. Drury Ch.

With our wonderful new facilities at the Jarville House in Queeny Park in St. Louis County, we anticipate steady growth in appreciation by the dog fancy, as well as the general public, says Welsh. Well be able to plan exhibits, such as our current The Dog Illustrated, to better serve our constituents and further educate dog lovers about the extensive treasures housed at the museum.The Purina Invitational was supported by Roy Jones Dog Show, Inc., and the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation Department.
