We have so much to be thankful, merry and happy from here at Majestys Poms. We are a work in progress.Our home is in the town of Cleveland in East Tennessee. We have ten acres just outside of the city limits. Ourneighbors are a bunch of cows who dont seem to mind the Poms being next door, or at least they havent complained as ofyet. Our kennel, if you would call it that, is in the basement of our home. This last year we renovated the downstairs forthe adult dogs so they could have their own space. They have their own couch, chairs, and of course a big screen television.The puppies stay upstairs until they are old enough to mingle safely with the older ones. We have two different fenced insections that allow us to separate the dogs as needed.RANDYHOUSTONandCHUCKWHITTEMOREI work in the home healthPhysical Therapy field. Hopefully bythe time you read this story, I will alsohave my Massage Therapy license. Ilove to write, mostly for my ownenjoyment, and plan events in whattime I have left.Randy is currently unemployedafter losing a job he had for 30 yearsdue to his company closing andsending the work overseas. Right nowhe is working on getting a degree inWeb Development and using his talentsas Graphic Designer, to create one ofkind websites. He also has a playedpiano for years as well as sings and hasa little group he sings with whichperformed the National Anthem at ourdog show.We began our journey in Pomsabout seven years ago. We bought MajHer Majesty as a pet. We had hopedto breed her, but due to some veryunfortunate circumstances, that wasntto be. You can read her story atwww.HerMajestyspoms.com. Maj isthe Matriarch of the house and nowoversees all of the business. Since Majwasnt able to produce, we begangoing to dog shows looking for afemale that would be able to havepups.

The first thing we decidedto do was get involved. We had tobecome part of the Pom world. Wejoined the Chattanooga Kennel Cluband the American Pomeranian Club.This, as any other business, is anetworking business. As we tried togrow, we found that others werewilling to help us in our venture. Ourfriends and contacts in the Pom worldare better than those in our everydaylives. Some of our best friendships andacquaintances have come from thePomeranian National Specialty. TheNationals provide us with a group ofpeople who love Pomeranians. Weonly see some of these people once ayear, but I guarantee you if we had aneed, they would help. We have yet toshow a dog there, we have mainly gonefor the fun and friendship. It has alsobeen a place to make contacts withpeople and exchange ideas. TheNationals have been part of ournetworking in where people can tell weare serious.We are especially proud thatwe have grown our own program. Weare now in our fourth generation. Eachgeneration is a little better than the last.Thanks to our mentor, David Gilstrap,who has been there with helpthroughout our growth, we havelearned a lot. The best thing thathappened to us, was finding a personwho not only was willing to help, butknew what he was talking about. Mygrandfather said, Get all the adviceyou can, then make your own decisionbecause ultimately the success orfailure will be yours. We have foundeveryone has ideas of what is right andwhat is wrong, as well as prejudices.The Pomeranian world is no different.One wise friend told us, Like whatyou show and believe in the dog. Dontworry about what others think. Thissage advice is some of the best advicewe have been given. We have made apractice of not judging the other dogsin the ring if they win, good for them.It may not be a dog that I would wantto own or show, but it is not mine.Making and keeping friends is moreimportant than our opinion of theirdog. We want a good name not onlywith our dogs, but also for ourselves.We are proud of what we haveaccomplished and grown. Penelope,Our good friend Bronya Johnstonshowing Ch Majestys PrinceDaschael to his championship.Sam, Grandpa Randy and PenelopeChucks parents, Charles Henry and Tommie,sister and brother-in-law Dayna and Chris enjoying our cruise.our black and tan little girl finished thisyear and is expecting her first litter.Eliza Blue is also expecting her secondlitter. She has been producing mostlyblue and tans with really nice coats.We are concentrating on orange, red,sable, black and tan, and blue and tan.The blue and tan line came alongunexpectedly, but it has been a nicesurprise. We are finally climbing thatgeneration hill and producingcompetitive dogs. We know what wehave in great lines, now its justconnecting it all together.Randy has also been workingwith Dr. Frank at the University ofTennessee with Alopecia X and theHer Majestys Serenade of CastileGeCory will be in the ring very soon.2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10142007, 1256 AM18 INI I I I mmm4Lm \44NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 19coat problems our breed has. Two ofour first dogs that we bought have it.Neither have been bred. Dr. Frank isdiligently working for us. Her thoughtsare that we probably will never have acure, but hopefully we will be able tofind the cause and be able to medicinallytreat the dogs who have the problem.When she spoke at the APC nationalsthis year, many were upset that no curewould be found. If we think about it,many cures for humans havent beenfound, but the problems have beenimproved and even stopped withmedicine. It is important that we havesomeone like Dr. Frank working on ourside. She is only one in a small numberworking on this problem. If she is tokeep working on this, she has to alsoknow we are interested in her. You arewelcome to contact her atLFrankutk.edu and let her know howmuch you appreciate what she is doing.We have decided that educatingourselves is just important as anythingto win. We have sought out the bestseminars we can find. I have even takenclasses in appraisals, which has helpedme even in the dog world. I wishsomeone would step out of the shadowsas a personal trainer for trimming andhandling. Classes are great, but one onone would be even better.Up until this year, we had thementality that these were our babieswhich they are and that is how wewere showing them. It was like puttingyour kid in a pageant, primping them upand expecting the judge to say, Oh,what a cute little kid you have. Wewere losing in the ring because wewerent playing with the big boys. Ahandler takes the dog in, shows it anddoesnt have the emotional attachmentsthat an ownerhandler has. They areshowing their dog and lookingprofessional. It took us a while, but weare learning to be more professional inthe ring. We are learning to show thedog. This takes time and effort tochange your ways. To show a dogcorrectly, in my opinion, is an art. Anartist knows the flaws in his work.

When wetake our piece of art out in the ring,we are taking it to show it off, not tobe judged. With this mentality, we areimproving our showing ability. If welose and we have done everything tothe best of our ability, then we havewon. Judges are just like people.Each has hisher own taste in art.Some people admire the artwork.Some people admire the artist. Somepeople admire the art dealer. We allhave different tastes and we havedecided to enjoy ours.We began our experiencethinking that all you had to do is buya dog and jump in the ring. Sincethen we have learned so much moreand will always be a work inprogress. Your vacations become dogshows. You take the dogs to thedoctor more than you take yourself.There is pain and heartbreak. Thereis joy and happiness. There are winsand losses. The road to success isntovernight, but that makes the rewardsso much sweeter. A breeder isnt aship in the night, but a voyage thatnever ends.To everyone that has becomeour friend, we are thankful for you.We arent going to name our friendsand the people who have helped usthrough, as we dont want to forgetanyone. You know who you are ifyou have encouraged us. We cantthank you enough for helping us andeven taking us to eat when we didnthave a vehicle at the shows or askingus to sit at your table with you.

The breeder referralcommittee also will be addressed here in this issue. We have suggestions from members concerning business card ads on our website thatwe can sell to the club members for a fee but have not determined how much. This will be decided in the near future. If anyone is interestedin placing an ad on the website would you please let me know so we can determine how many and for how much.We are also in the process of setting up a standard revision committee. At this point it is still in the planning and we hope to have it goingwithin a few months, as it just does not happen overnight. The process is setting up how many on the committee and submitting namesand then voting to select just who is going to be on this committee.As a board that is dealing with one ill member we are trying to carry on and make this club work. Thank you all for your patience.Jane Lehtinen, Acting APC PresidentPomeranian Charitable TrustPat Hastings Puppy Puzzle at the National Live and In PersonThe presentation of Puppy Puzzle The Hastings Approach to Evaluating the Structural Quality of Puppies hasinformation to benefit everyone working with dogs and every puppy out of a conscientious breeding program. Thesingle most important decision we can make for our puppies is to determine whether each puppy is structurally soundenough to do what we will ask of it in its lifetime. Whether the hope is for the show ring and whelping box or obedience,agility, or flyball, we owe it to our dogs to know in which lifestyle each may best flourish.For nearly 20 years, Pat Hastings has been one of the most respected educators in the dog world. An AKC judge for theWorking, Herding, and Non-Sporting Groups, as well as Junior Showmanship and Best In Show, Pat has been a veryactive member of the Fancy since 1959. With her late husband, E.R. Bob Hastings, she researched and developed thestructural evaluation process, discussed in detail in the PUPPY PUZZLE. This process has revolutionized how breedersmake life decisions for the puppies they produce.This three-hour seminar will be held in Kentucky on Sunday, March 9, 2008, between 1 and 4 PM. Your invitation willbe assured for a 30.00 donation to the Pomeranian Charitable Trust. Afterwards look forward to relaxing at theNationals hospitality night. Plan on this for your travel arrangements now and more details about sign up will comelater.2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10152007, 1253 AM32rn 111 the President- - Cynthia C.

The Board should mount an educational program about the health hazards ofbreeding Merle Pomeranians.At the present time, the standard should not include a penalty or disqualification for Merles, since all colors are nowallowed. But should there be a revision of the standard in the future, we should include that Merles cannot beexhibited, but can be registered and bred, as is the case with white German Shepherd Dogs and Parti-colored Poodlestoday.Respectfully submitted,Erika K.

Is it safe How does it workIn August of 2005, 4 fatal airplane crashes in Europe and South America claimed the lives of hundreds ofpassengers. This unfortunate string of events sparked many questions about airline safety. People began towonder if the saying Flying is the safest way to travel was really true. The good news is that airline travel stillseems to be the safest way to travel, and the safety record has only improved over the past 25 years. Accordingto International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO figures, in 1979 there were three fatal accidents per millionflights compared with one fatal accident per two million flights in 2004. Safety improvements are due to bettertechnology, compulsory industry audits and tougher competition.Pet air travel remains controversial. The Humane Society of the United States strongly recommends against airtravel largely based on the fact that many animals have been transported in the cargo hold of airplanes resultingin an unacceptable number of injuries and deaths. Fortunately it is now possible to choose an airline that has alive animal compartment, which is heated, cooled, and pressurized just like the passenger areas. This type of liveanimal compartment means that the animals on board travel in the same safety and comfort as the humanpassengers. Additionally, in 2000, congress passed the Safe Air Travel for Animals Act, which requires airlines toreport to the Secretary of Transportation any incident involving an animal that is injured, lost, or killed duringairline transport. The secretary must then make the information available to the public in the Department ofTransportations monthly publication. The act also specifies that baggage handlers be better trained in animal careand safe transport techniques.I have had very good luck using Continentals Pet Safe program and Deltas Pet First service to ship mydogs. The Continental Web site states Continental handles all specialty shipments, especially pets, with thegreatest care. We understand the special requirements of shipping animals, and we adhere to the U.S.Department of Agriculture USDA regulations, as well as International Air Transport Association IATAregulations. In my experience, this really has been true. To book a live animal shipment with Continental, call800-575-3335.Deltas Web site assures the following At Delta, we take the time and care to ensure every animal travels safelyand comfortably with our Delta Pet First service. I have also found this to be true. To book a live animalshipment with Delta, call 888-736-3738.Continued2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1210 PM36--'-rNOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 37gIn over 10 years of shipping live animals, Ive never had any type of harm come to any of them.Occasionally, a flight has been delayed, and the airline staff has taken excellent care of my dogs while they werewaiting for the next flight. I once had a gal who worked for Delta take my puppy to her house for the night. Shecalled me several times, letting me know that the puppy was safe and happy.A health certificate is required for a dog to fly. Most veterinarians offer this service for 30.00 - 60.00. You willalso need an airline-approved carrier complete with food and water dishes an absorbent crate pad. Pet Stores,Feed Stores, and even WalMart carry good, airline approved carriers. A good trick for water is to put ice cubesin the water dish or to fill the dish 34 full of water and then keep it in the freezer overnight. This avoids waterspillage on the way to the airport.I always tape a baggie of extra food to the top of the carrier so the airline staff can have my dogs usual foodavailable if feeding is necessary on a longer flight or due to a flight delay.Our next question is My Pom puppy keeps eating her stools.

I have no kennel. My dogs are allhouse raised.I have a very long life gone to the dogs. My sisters and I started showing in 1948 English Cocker Spaniels. Wedid not have a clue about points or majors and made many mistakes. We had very few shows back then. Angie and Ishowed several dogs a few times not knowing that we should concentrate on one at a time. When we wised up we did finishCh. Wayside Blue Lilac. Who was the first dog I ever handled in the breed ring. Our first show we walked out with a fivepoint major win under Judge Alfred Lepine. Well, I was very much hooked from that day right up to the present time.My former husband and I showed many very nice Poodles and we also finished a number for other people. I neverbred much. We were on the road too much.My sister, Angela, has bred a number of champion English Cockers and is now an AKC licensed judge. SisterShirley was an AKC all breed handler and gave it up to be a mother and homemaker.I have co-owned many dogs with breeders from coast to coast. They included Basenjis, Toy Manchester Terriers,Pugs, American Cockers, Scotties, Italian Greyhounds, Smooth Fox Terrier, Springer Spaniels and I am sure some others Ihave forgotten. Breeding was not my first love.After my divorce I was not able to continue to show or breed for several years. When all of my retirees were goneand the children grown up, I decided to get back into dogs. I looked at several breeds of dogs and could not find anythingavailable that I liked. I mentioned this to my sister Angela and she told Joyce Baker Winkels who with her sister Jean BakerHanle bred a few Poms. I was offered a finished champion. A son of Ch. Rock N Tradition of Oakridge and out of theJake daughter Ch. Brilliant Golden Glory ROM SBISS Group Winner. His name is Ch.

What if there is a small entry and Idont find anything I like Besides thisis the first time I would go in the ringand not be openly bribed to help influencemy decision. Recall all those funcostume contests to help raise fundsWas Hurricane Dean going to rain on thisparadeI was pleased when I walked into theroom to find a wonderful large ring thatday and decided to take advantage of thisby planning to ask for a triangleindividual pattern. Enter the first puppydog class and all those jitters disappeared.All entries are present and they are a veryrespectable representation of Poms. Eachclass followed in this same fashion. Iteased my 12-18 class puppy dog classbecause both were parti and darn niceones at that about being an AOAC classin Sweepstakes.I had 29 Pom youngsters in all toevaluate. The overall quality was good.They were typey. They appeared to haveappropriate coat for their age. Size wasappropriate. I believe I found only oneopen fontanel. They are less round eyesthan what was at one time yes, that is agood thing. And probably related to that,ear sets were better than in the past. But,there were far too many bad or not-goodbites. There was a time that exhibitorswould just not exhibit a dog with a badbite. It is a time that they need to strivefor that. There were also one or twounacceptable top lines. Individuals made up the normal Bellcurve in movement. Rear movement wasbetter than it had been in past years justa few stifle weaknesses. Side movementwas fairly good. There were a few closefronts a few that tended more toward ahackney or just exaggerated movementwatch the upper arm length does not gettoo short. But most were just better fromthe side that dead straight coming.So my decisions got more difficult as thejudging continued. I was very happy withmy Best Junior Puppy and Best SeniorPuppy. Now, I needed to pick a Best ofSweeps. See the judge squirm. I wouldhave liked to divide the ribbon. But thatis not what judging is about. It is aboutthe easy and not-so-easy decisions. Iconcluded by consoling myself with thestatement which in this case was veryappropriate, For today, it shall be..Now, I would like to set aside my judgesbadge and comment on the Specialty fromthe Parent Club perspective. TheHouston Club hosted a very nice summerspecialty. The hotel was veryAmerican Pomeranian ClubNational Summer SpecialtyJudges Commentary - Thursday, August 23, 2007nicefacilities, food, and service. Andtheir members had the knowledge of howto run the technical aspects of the showand the willingness to do the dedicatedwork in preparation. The graciousness oftheir Texan hospitality was exemplaryThis winning combination spelled a goodtime had by all.Darrell Baker, Regular Class JudgeThis was an event to be long-rememberedby all attendees breeders, exhibitors,professional handlers, and spectators. Thismost important show was in conjunctionwith three equally fine events ThePomeranian Club of Houstons ownSpecialty Show, then two Toy Dog Shows.Four days of viewing top-of-the-line toy dogsfrom across the NationContinued2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10142007, 1257 AM52V ^vt O3fJ- NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 53It was an honor to be a part of the JudgingPanels. Barely recovered from a rigorous30-day hospital stay and a tough recoverytime, I was able to judge the very large entryof Pomeranians for the first day. ThePomeranian Club of Greater Houston is tobe commended for such a large entry,incredible hospitality and fun entertainmentsprovided to everyone who came to Houston.The Houston Club is a large, healthy,compatible, hard-working bunch ofmembers, all of whom were chipping in onevery duty required. I would like to givethanks to all those who made this perfect,but time and space will not allow that. Tothose of you who were unable to be here forthese shows, we missed you and know youalso would have been part of the fun.Down to business. Judging the classes in thislarge impressive entry was a pleasure, NOTa chore. Looking down line-ups in each classwas pure pleasure. Reflecting on dogsshown, my opinion was that Poms haveimproved in quality, type, and conformationdramatically over our many years of interestand participation in the breed. Head andface types, while varied, were moreconsistent than in years past. Judges mustrealize some muzzles are a bit longer, someeyes differently shaped, some ear placementsand size a little varied. However, the basicsstill apply. I loved observing dogs with greatmovement, front and rear. I also observed afew Poms with wide, narrow, or misplacedfronts wide, way-too-close or cow-hockedback assembly also still with us. Good newswas, I saw many with perfect structure toallow perfect movement.I saw a couple of bites on dogs that were notdrastically wrong, just not the nice scissorsbite we all prefer. Breeders should watchout for this a little more. Begin watchingfor bite first, when baby teeth are coming,then, again when baby teeth are beginningto be replaced with permanent teeth Ipersonally feel bite deformity is a hereditarydefect, and should be watched.Coats so much better than we have beenseeing in recent years. Congratulations onthat. Saw no evidence in my ring of anysuspicious-looking coat textures, often ofconcern regarding the black skin diseasetoo prevalent in our breed. Some were a bitout of coat, but normal and associated withage coat losses.Short, short backs were ever present. Tailsets mostly good. Woolly legs, very desirable,at least to me. Saw no evidence ofmonorchidism an undescended testiclewhatsoever.Size should not be a consideration in judgingdogs our standard calls for 3 to 7 lbs. asacceptable, meaning simply that you CANshow a larger than 7lb. dog, or smaller thana 3 lb. dog and be within regulations. Here,we find a concern. As a Judge, I am notallowed to judge on the basis of theFUTURE of the dog. This is to say that mypersonal feeling is that a 3 lb. female likelywould not be a producing female.Conversely, a 7 or 8 lb. dog probably shouldnot be considered a good choice as a sire.Yet, remember, Judges are expected to judgeon THAT DAY, not down the road in thefuture. This is tough, as a breederjudgehas in hisher mind Would this be a goodchoice to breed This is a difficult call forany judge. But we should at least TRY torecognize the limits in the size area.There is lots of talk about trimming. Asthose of you who know me know, I am NOTa fan of over-trimming, heavy scissoring,chopping off and sculpting Pom coat. Yes,there were a few that were trimmed morethan I personally like, but I viewed the dogsindividually, and tried NOT to undulyconsider the over-trimming unless severein my selections.Dogs were beautiful, and I thank you all forbeing there, for showing, for participating,and the loud crowd support for just aboutevery dog. A special thanks to my excellentring steward, Erika Moureau. I could nothave done it without YOUMy wife, Olga, and I enjoyed it allimmensely, and we hope you did too.Judges Commentary ContinuedThe Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston SweepstakesBy Judge Audrey RobertsFirst Id like to thank the Pomeranian Club of Greater Houston for inviting me to judge their 40th AnniversarySweepstakes. It was a privilege and an honor to be asked. I had a wonderful time judging all the lovely Poms broughtto me by so many exhibitors and I thank you for bringing your entries.I had five puppies in my Puppy Dog 6-9 class. My 4th place dog was Reigning Poms King of Hearts owned by Gailand Bill Bertrand. He was a pretty little cream boy with a very cute face. My 3rd place dog was Prized BourresPromise Tim Sue owned by Donald and Alice Savoie. He was an orange, lovely coated nice size boy with a very niceprofile. My 2nd place boy and my first place boy were very hard to decide between. Both were black and tan andsmaller, cobby with tight tailsets, my 2nd place boy was Sirens First Impression owned by Lorelei Sibet SuzanneBerney. He had a face to melt your heart and barely got beaten out by the other on movement. Both had picture perfect profiles and were veryshowy. My winner of this class was Suber and Lynnwrights Stugots owned by Suzanne Berney and Donna Lynn Wright. He became my BestJunior In Sweeps.In my 9-12 class I also had 5 entries. This class was filled with excellence and was very tough to judge I finally placed 4th, Sofines Outta MyWay owned by Mary Latimer.

Although not in great coat this was a very sound and showy boy.

He became my Best Opposite Senior In Sweeps.Then came the ladies In my 6-9 class I had 6 entries. In 4th place I put Majestics Jackelina owned by A. Rister, C. Creed, B. and T. Turner.

We were in anew venue this year at the Portland Expo Center in Portland, OR, not outside as we have been in past years. The facilitywas very nice and we had plenty of room to decorate for our fun theme this year, Mardi GrasWe started off on Thursday with one of our good friends as ring steward and she was one of the best we have hadvolunteer. We just want to say a big thank you to Roxeanne and Bill for being our ring stewards. Roxeanne made sure all ofour many entrants had their Mardi Gras beads and were ready to hit the ring. Bill was so at ease and professional. We couldnot have asked for better stewards. It was a lot of fun and made enjoyable by people who were happy to be there andvolunteered their time and efforts to make our specialty one of the best we have hadOur judges this year were so superb, even with our last minute airline dilemma. We all just want to say a great bigthank you to Mrs. Susan Plouff, Mr. Fred C. Bassett, Mr. Chuck Murray and Mr. Michael Heflin.CPC offered two different seminars this year, and a great obedience and rally demonstration presented by our ownAnne Griffith. It was very informative and a lot of fun to watch these talented people and very talented dogs, including aPomeranian. Those of us who own Poms know that they are not always the easiest to train But Anne showed that it waspossible, not difficult and definitely a lot of funNext year we will also be hosting two more exciting seminars, Handling Tips and Tricks with Terry MacIntryre andCanine Chiropractics with Lisa Piccioni.Of course we had our raffle and potluck as usual. This years potluck offered a traditional Mardi Gras cake,brought by Teresa, all the way from Louisiana. It was very delicious, as was the wonderful home cooked turkey donated byour own Darlys. Tish brought her very famous Fumi Salad and was so kind to bring the recipe, I can tell you every year thisis one of the things I look most forward to when it comes to the potluck. Thanks to everyone who brought his or her tastytreats.Our raffle offered a lot of wonderful prizes, including some hand painted glassware by our own President ChristyMurphy, who is so multi-talented. Artwork, by the late Jess Stephens, was donated by Dorothy.Our club is so thankful and appreciative of all those who entered and joined us for our fun specialty We will seeyou all again next year for another exciting CPC SpecialtyOWNER Julie Clemen.2 RISE N SHINES THE PERFECT STORM.OWNER Deborah Stoehr.3 JAN-SHARS SERENGETTI.

A gland is a type of tissue, whichproduces and secretes something. There are two main types of glands. There areendocrine glands, which secrete their product into the bloodstream to eventuallyreach a target tissue. Examples of endocrine glands are the adrenal glands, the sexorgans, the pituitary and the thyroid gland. There are also glands known as exocrine glands, which secrete their products via a duct,or tube. Examples of exocrine glands are the glands, which produce sweat, tears, saliva, and digestive enzymes, and the mammaryglands, which produce milk.The thyroid gland is a butterfly shaped endocrine gland located in the front of the neck, just below the larynx voice box. There aretwo lobes of the thyroid, one on each side of the trachea. The thyroid gland produces a hormone called thyroxine. Thyroxineregulates the bodys growth, metabolism, digestion, body temperature and heartbeat. A deficiency of thyroid hormone in the body isknown as hypothyroidism, while an excess of thyroid hormone circulating in the body is known as hyperthyroidism.Hypothyroidism is one of the most common medical disorders affecting dogs. It is estimated that one out of ten dogs will develophypothyroidism in its lifetime. Certain breeds are highly disposed to develop hypothyroidism. Middle-aged dogs are at increasedrisk. In one study, mean age at diagnosis was 7.2 years. Spayed females and neutered males are at increased risk over intact animalsfor developing hypothyroidism.Hypothyroidism usually comes on gradually, over several months or years. Because the thyroid hormone supports the metabolism ofall body systems, the symptoms can be numerous and varied. The early clues may be scarcely noticeable or may be attributed to othercauses. Symptoms may include low energy, weight gain, depression, intolerance to cold, infertility, dry skin, brittlethinning coat,frequent infections, especially of skin, ears and eyes. Your veterinarian may notice enlargement of the gland, a slowed heart rate,anemia and elevated blood cholesterol. An ultrasound of the enlarging thyroid may be useful for early diagnosis of thyroid problems.Under normal conditions, the brain senses and detects drops in thyroid hormone blood levels. When thyroid hormone levels in thebody start to drop, the hypothalamus portion of the brain nudges the pituitary gland to send out a hormone known as ThyroidStimulating Hormone TSH. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to step up production of the thyroid hormone known as T4. T4 issubsequently converted by the body to T3, which is the active form used by the cells of the body. When the brain detects a surplus ofthyroid hormone in the bloodstream, it drops the production of TSH, and then with lower TSH levels, the thyroid gland in turn slowsproduction. When thyroid hormone levels again drop a bit, TSH levels rise to stimulate the thyroid gland to once again step upproduction. This relationship between TSH and thyroid hormone is the ongoing natural feedback process by which thyroid hormonelevel remains optimal for proper body metabolism.Sometimes there is the temptation to supplement your dog with thyroid hormone in the belief that it will boost metabolism andpromote weight loss or enhance fertility. This is not a good idea in a dog with normal thyroid function, because in so doing youdepress the production of TSH by the brain, and upset the bodys delicate natural feedback mechanism which is necessary for properthyroid balance and function. When the supplement is withdrawn, it is difficult for the body to regain balance of these hormonesagain. Also, diagnostic thyroid testing will be inaccurate if the dog is receiving a thyroid supplement.When your vet does a blood test for thyroid function, he will usually check the T4 level and the TSH level. If the T4 is low and theTSH is high, a diagnosis of hypothyroidism can be presumed. The brain is trying to stimulate the thyroid gland, but the gland is not2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1215 PM68i i i i nA t INOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 69able to respond, hence the high TSH and low T4.T4 testing is a simple technique that is relatively inexpensive however, it is not always reliable, as the results can appear falsely lowdue to the effects of medication or other medical conditions. As a result, another technique known as Free T4 or FT4 testing may berequired. This test is much more reliable and is far more reflective of the thyroids true state and function. This method of testing ismore expensive than basic T4 testing, but it may be required in order to make a confident diagnosis. T3 levels fluctuate widely, andare not generally useful in diagnosis.According to a recent MSU study, the majority of canine hypothyroidism is the result of an autoimmune process known asautoimmune thyroiditis. The bodys immune system develops antibodies against its own thyroid gland cells. As the thyroid glandcells are attacked and destroyed, the remaining cells work harder to compensate. Finally, when the gland is about 75 destroyed, theremaining cells are unable to produce enough thyroid hormone, and the dog begins to display symptoms of deficiency.Autoimmune thyroiditis is felt to have an inherited basis. This makes testing for the disease marker in breeding dogs important forreducing its incidence.The best current marker for this disease is a positive TGAA test result. TGAA is a test specifically for thyroid auto antibodies, and isusually diagnostic of autoimmune thyroiditis. This is a useful test because it can predict development of thyroid dysfunction manyyears before the dog actually develops any symptoms.These TGAA auto antibodies are present when there is active thyroid disease or inflammation. Assuming a single gene disorder andrecessive trait, TGAA will be positive only in dogs having both genes for thyroiditis. TGAA will not be positive in the carriershaving only one gene for the trait and may not be positive early in the life of some dogs that become affected later.Studies in a laboratory suggest that vaccination may also cause stimulation of the production of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.Whether other variables such as viral infections can also cause transient thyroiditis is unknown.The OFA established a registry for canine hypothyroidism. The purpose is to assist breeders in selecting sound dogs for breedingpurposes and to develop and maintain a database for the study of hypothyroidism in dogs. The dogs owner takes the dog to theirregular veterinarian who draws blood for submission to a certified laboratory. The laboratory performs the tests and reports to theowner, his veterinarian and the OFA. At the time of submission, the owner has the option of placing results in an open or closedregistry. A certificate and breed registry number will be issued to all dogs found to be normal at 12 months of age.While a blood test can detect the disease before the appearance of clinical signs, a single negative blood test will not guarantee that adog will never develop thyroid disease. A dog that is negative at 2 years old can still become positive at 6 years old. It isrecommended that re-examination occur at ages 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 years.From studies done on all breeds of dogs at Michigan State University MSU it was concluded thatVery few dogs developed TGAA antibodies under the age of 1 year, so testing should be started after 1 year.The majority of dogs who would go on to develop thyroiditis tested positive for high TGAA between the ages of 2 and 6 years.After the age of 6 years, dogs with immune mediated thyroid disease had enough damage to the gland that there was not enoughtissue present to stimulate the production of TGAA, which would cause measured levels of TGAA to fall within the normal range.Recommendations for breedersAll breeding stock can be tested for early autoimmune thyroid disease by measuring only TGAA between the ages of 12 and 30months.Between 30 months and 6 years a TGAA along with a T4 and TSH levels should be measured to rule out immune mediated thyroiddisease and early hypothyroidism.If the dog is negative for TGAA after 6 years and there is no abnormality of the T4 and TSH, the dog will probably not developautoimmune thyroid disease.Dogs positive for TGAA should have a T4 and TSH run annually to monitor thyroid function. When clinical signs develop the dogshould be put on thyroid supplementation.Carefully consider whether the dog should be used in a breeding program. If dogs with high TGAA are bred it should be to dogs thatare negative for TGAA andor tested clear normal T4 and TSH levels for thyroid disease as older dogs.Once a diagnosis of hypothyroidism is made, the standard treatment is oral thyroid hormone supplement for life. In most cases thismeans a T4 supplement. A periodic check of thyroid levels will assist with determining the optimal dose. Several medicationsavailable are used as a replacement for T3, T4, or their combination.Levothroid, Levoxyl, Synthroid are brand names of the chemical compound levothyroxine sodium T4. Cytomel is a brand name ofthe chemical liothyronine sodium T3. Euthroid and Thyrolar are names for the chemical liotrix a combination of T3 and T4.Armour Thyroid is the brand name of a desiccated thyroid, which is not normally recommended for replacement therapy, since itcontains significant amounts T3, the active form of the hormone. Synthetic T4 is preferred by veterinarians.Trying to regulate doses when using the active form, T3, is almost impossible because T3 is rapidly metabolized and depleted from2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1215 PM694 i i i i n4 4470 - NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWthe body. T4 blood levels remain more stable and are more useful in regulating treatment. Remember, T4 is converted by the body tothe active form, T3, as needed. Supplementing with T3 instead of T4 can result in over stimulation of the hypothalamus-pituitarythyroidaxis, due to lack of T4 in the feedback chain. This can provoke a thyroid storm or hyperthyroidism see below if there ismuch functioning thyroid tissue remaining. In some rare cases your vet may need to prescribe T3 or a T3-T4 preparation if T4 aloneis ineffective.Other conditions are associated with hypothyroidism, such as Cushings disease and diabetes. High levels of steroids in Cushingsdisease can cause low levels of circulating thyroid hormone. Administration of steroids such as prednisone or cortisone over aprolonged period of time can affect thyroid hormone levels.Many drugs, medication, toxins and preservatives can adversely affect thyroid function. There is also a condition known as euthyroidsick syndrome. Thyroid function is depressed temporarily due to another illness. Once the underlying illness is resolved, thyroidfunction will usually also recover.A little information about canine hyperthyroidism.Hyperthyroidism occurs when there is excess circulating thyroxin. This condition is not common and usually occurs in dogs withtumors of the thyroid gland. The T4 will be above normal and the TSH is below normal in this situation. A symptom of caninehyperthyroidism is weight loss despite an unusually ravenous appetite. Sometimes the dog will eat so quickly that he ends upvomiting. Some dogs may also experience diarrhea. Also, excessive thirst may accompany the characteristic voracious appetite.Other very common warning signs of this disease include hyperactivity and nervousness. Your dog may become more active andrestless than normal and may also show signs of irritability. These symptoms are often accompanied by an elevated heart rate. Inaddition to beating faster, an affected dogs heart may also exhibit stronger beats, which you may be able to feel by placing your handagainst your dogs chest. Some dogs that are suffering from hyperthyroidism also tend to breathe more rapidly than usual. Thesegeneral symptoms are due to an increase in the metabolism of the body.A dog with hyperthyroidism may also experience changes in its coat. The coat may become dull and appear unusually unkempt, andthe dog can eventually develop bald patches.ReferencesHypothyroidism by Susan Thorpe-Vargas, PhD, and John Cargill, MA, MBA, MS Diagnosis of Canine Hypothyroidism andThyroiditis, by J.

End of discussion, regarding the wedge atleast.In an honest attempt to show a picture of how the wedge should be seenover the head for the CD, a triangle of less than accurate dimensions was superimposed over the heads of several pictured Poms in order to show the generaldimensions for evaluation. This is a near impossibility allowing for camera head angles and computer limitations. Thewhole concept has given rise to misunderstanding and misinterpretation.Back to the Drawing Board - The first standard appeared in 1916. From that standard to this one, on eachrevision the head has been described as wedge shaped. In some past standards, the term foxlike is added. Currently,foxlike refers to expression. In earlier years, when evaluating heads, I put the dogs or puppys muzzle between theindex finger and middle finger of my hand and if the nose fit nicely in the circle against the base of the hand, the rest ofthe muzzle and head filled the opening between the fingers, the wedge was acceptable. After some time, the worldseemed to need a clearer explanation of the wedge. In order to clarify, the standard revision committee used the LINE.A triangle was never intended. The top of the skull is slightly rounded, but not domed.The Line is to start at the center of the nose and move through the eye preferably the center or as close to thecenter as is reasonable and continue on its up and outward slant to the ear ending reasonably close to the center.Try visualizing with the heads shown below. They are all good heads.2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1216 PM71 INI i i i inr.remJm'\ M972 - NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWThe Dallas Fort Worth Pomeranian Clubs Annual Specialty Show was held onSeptember 14, 2007 at the Sterling Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

If thisnatural retrieve can be captured and reinforced at this age, it makes later Obedience retrieve trainingmuch easier. But many good breeders thats you, right dont send their puppies to Obedience homes atthat age, for whatever reason. I think, myself, that separation from the litter at an early age 5 weeksUGH is likely to provoke lifetime bad behavior, such as biting. And then, how are you to know at 8weeks whether this little puppy is really going to be Conformation material or not Youre more likely tohave a definite negative answer than a definite positive one. It is mostly possible to tell at this age whetherhe will be Obedience material, but thats another story.Whether you are the breeder holding onto the puppy past the crucial retrieve age or an Obedience trainerwho gets a puppy at the right age, here is what I recommend. This method can also be used with olderdogs, though it will be more difficult to establish the behavior. And remember that this is NOT theObedience retrieve, just a good preparation for it.Choose a small toy. It can be a small soft ball or a small squeaky toyjust something that your puppylikes to play with. Take the puppy to an area away from other puppies and dogs. Play around with the toyin front of the puppy, getting him really wound up about it. Let him have it and play with it a bit when hedrops it, take it back and play with it again. Now throw the toy a short distance. When he picks it up, callhim to you, clapping or patting your legs. You can say, Puppy, puppy, puppy, or whatever gets himexcited. He will probably come toward you and drop the toy. Pet him and praise him. Repeat. After twoto three times, take the toy before he drops it and play a little tug game with it, using the command, Tug.Then let him have the toy to play with. This should be repeated as many as five times a day to set thebehavior in his mind.Your goal should be that the puppy 1 chase and pick up the toy, 2 bring it back to you, 3 drop itsomewhere in your vicinity, 4 as a reward get to either chase the toy again or play with it by himself. Notethat you are not requiring anything. It is just a way that you can interact with your puppy that will makeany subsequent Obedience training much easier. And if this does turn out to be your next breed Champion,he will still have learned that you are a lot of fun to be with2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1217 PM784r n4 4Wa . TVlIii i i n 4 nnnn^^^mNOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 79Performance ContinuedINADVERTENT TRAINING AND THE POST HOC FALLACYYou may or may not remember whatever Logic you were taught in high school andor college, but I amnow going to refresh your memory. Remember the Post Hoc fallacy The long version of the term isPost hoc, propter hoc., which in Latin means after this, therefore because of this. It is the source ofmuch superstitious thinkingAs sure as I say the picnic will be rained out, it will, so I wont say it andmaybe it wont happen.Dogs are very big on the Post Hoc fallacy. I ran to check out that toy, and there was a big clap ofthunder that is one scary toy This is one thing that makes a lot of dog training possible, using eitherreward or punishment. I have trained a large number of Rescues to not bark in the crate at night bystanding several feet away in the dark, behind the blind side of a plastic crate and therefore out of sight ofthe dog, and throwing a Readers Digest toward the crate. The dog reasons, Every time I bark, there is ascary noise. Id better be quiet or the boogie man will get me. I call this the power of the press. Itcan cause some very bad training to take place also. This happens when the dog runs away. I frequentlyget calls from people wanting their dog to come when called. I ask what happens when they do finally getthe dog back, and often the answer is I WHUP him The last thing the dog did was to either come to theowner, or let the owner catch him. Post Hoc tells the dog that coming or letting himself get caught causesbad things to happen, and the result of this training can be very difficult to eradicate.WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR DOGMany years ago, in Front and Finish, the dog trainers news magazine, I saw an article about what mighthappen to your dog if you are in a fatal or incapacitating accident. I copied the form suggested by thecolumnist and adapted it to suit myself. This form, filled out, goes on my refrigerator, into my wallet, intoa luggage tag attached to each crate, and into a notebook I keep in the car or motorhome that holds themedical information and rabies certificates for each dog, as well as a list of family and friends addressesand phone numbers. My veterinarian also has a copy of this form in my dogs files.Remember that many people do NOT want to pay for surgery or other emergency care for their dog thisis sometimes how we get a Pom into Rescue, and veterinarians can be reluctant to treat a dog extensivelyand expensively if no money will be forthcoming to pay for the treatment. This form can save your dogslifeIN CASE OF ACCIDENTIn an emergency, please notify __NAME_____________________at ____PHONE_________, or _______NAME_______________at _______PHONE_____________________.In the event that I, _________NAME__________________________,am incapacitated and unable to make my wishes known regarding my__COLOR BREED dog, NAME,please honor the following requests NAME is to be contacted as soon as possibleat PHONE .

At about six weeks I say, Table, I would like you to meet puppy.Then I say, Puppy, I would like you to meet table. Now what is so hard about thatAnonymousI keep a table beside my computer with a non-skid mat on it I use the kind of mat you put in a bath tub. I always have adog sitting next to me when I am on the computer. From the time they are very small, 6-8 weeks old, they are used to beingon the table. They get attention and treats when they are up there, so they learn to like it. As soon as they are completelycomfortable being on the table, I start training to stack with treats. This usually starts about 10 or 12 weeks. If you hold apuppy with one hand on their chest and the other under their tail and bounce them lightly straight up and down on their fourfeet a couple of times, they will stand still easier. I am not sure why this works, but it almost always does. I use thecommand Wait or Stay. Once they hold still and look at the treat for even a split second, I am lavish with praise. Aftera couple of sessions, they usually hold a stack like they were made of stone.Carolyn Bonin, Rivendell Poms,I have started my babies at 8 weeks on the table and on the lead. I reward with food and lots of praise. My babies are in thekitchen where they get all kinds of exposure to noise and everyone in the family gives them hugs and lots of kisses. Whenthey graduate to free time in the living room they are encouraged to follow me for treats. Going to the lead is stress free andthe table is used just for stacking. I do nails and brushing with them in my lap. When they are around 4 months old we startgrooming on the table but nails are never done on the table. This has worked for me since my very first litter. My dogs arehappy and show it when it is time to start their show careers.Patricia Murk Pawegre PomeraniansI start mine on the table between 6-8 weeks, nothing serious, just start standing them on it and getting used to it. As they getolder I start putting the lead on and baiting with a little chicken.Linda Pelz, DreamWeaver PomsI start putting them up on EVERYTHING and making them stand while I look quickly at the teeth, I play with their paws alot also. I usually start this around six weeks. It does not really matter if they are show prospect or not. I feel that it shouldbe a very casual thing for all Poms to stand as they are placed for grooming and examination. As a matter of them learningpatience, everyone gets stacked on the washer and dryer, a bed, the grooming table etc. If there is a fear of heights, theyusually overcome it at an early age.Even if they do not have a future in the ring, your vet will appreciate it the most.I apply the same to dogs on the floor. No dog is allowed to rear up, or touch me if I am offering treats. If they stand backand look at me they get the treat.By the very nature of learning patience, you develop a self-stacking dog quickly.At this time my friend, Kathy teaches them to step forward or back with a simple hand signal that works great in the ring.Kelley Scott, Petite Acres Pomeranians2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1217 PM84I I I I NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 85Suggestions and techniques in this article are the opinion of each individual contributor.

I have started working with the puppies very young. I placethem on a table as soon as they stand up and know what is going on. I check their bite and brush their tail and just holdthem there for a couple minutes.Depending on the puppy I advance forward to longer on the table and doing more.I also give them treats on the table and try to do nothing bad on the table at all. It does seem to help and yet I am sure it isnot a 100 foolproof thing.I try to do things more often and not for long periods of time. Puppies just cant sit still. LOL.Kay Chaney, Kayra PomsTable training begins long before my puppies get their eyes open. Sounds strange, huh It all begins with the Early NeurologicalStimulation process introduced by Carmen L. Battaglia, PhD. The methods were originally developed by the U.S. military intheir canine program called Bio Sensor, later known as the Super Dog Program. When beginning this method of stimulationat only 3 days of age, dogs tends to have superior advantage to non-stimulated pups in socialization and training throughoutlife. No, I dont begin to show-stack my puppies on the table at 3 days of age, however, by using the stimulation process theyare less stressed when table training, lead breaking, brushing, and it is a superb foundation on which to grow the show dogBrenda Segelken, Fame PomsOur question for the next issue will be...

My name is Rebecca Silverberg. I am14 years old and I live in southern California in thedesert resort area of Palm Desert. My mom and Ihave had Poms for 7 years now. I live with mytwo older brothers who are 15 and 17. I also haveanother brother who is 26, but doesnt live with usAt what age did you begin to show inJunior Showmanship I started showing in juniorsin the summer of 2006 prior to my 13th birthday.My first experience at showing was not a positiveone. I trained the dog for three months everyday.We would go to malls parks, etc. She walkedperfectly and baited perfectly. When we got to theshow she didnt walk or move a foot. It was reallyupsetting for me and I didnt want to go back. I was entered the next day but I didnt go due to me being so upset Itwasnt until November when I returned to the ring for a comeback I had a different dog. I won my class both daysand it made my feelings about showing more positive. I am currently the 3 Pomeranian Junior Handler and mystats tell me I have 92 points nowWhywhat made you want to go into the junior ring Why a Pom I wanted to show in juniors and in breedbecause I watched some shows and it interested me very much. How I started with Pomeranians It was due to mymother owning and breeding Poms as a hobby so it all kind of went hand in hand .She had bred and shown Arabianhorses for 15 years prior to getting PomsWhat are your plansgoals in life In the future, I would like to attend college. Im not sure, at this point,what the future will be for me. However I know that I want to keep showing dogs for as long as I can because I loveit and wish there was a show everydayHave you helped breedwhelp litters I have helped breed and whelp several litters and I know its reallyhard and the breed has many problems associated with breeding but I love raising the puppies.What is the hardestrewarding part of showing in Junior Showmanship Since then Ive been to manyshows and I love them more and more every single time . Sometimes its really hard to walk out of the ring withnothing and work so hard to see the others win but most of them deserve their win and I dont give up. I always havethe next show to work for. Ive met many wonderful people at the shows and on the Internet so its almost like afamily to me. Showing dogs gives you such a great social life, alsoWho are your best friends in the junior scene Tell us what you do at the shows in the off time. A few of myfriends are from the bestjunior.com message board as well as people I met at the show.

Its a full day. Its fun aswell as hard work, but I love it. Youhave to be hardworking and verydedicated to be in this business.What iswas your favoritedog to show in Juniors and why Myfavorite dog to show is our littleParker daughter FINCHSSWEET TALKIN PARTI whomwe got from Diane Finch. She has awonderful attitude and she loves toshow. I am very thankful to have heras my juniors dog because shehappens to have a lot of patience forthe juniors ring. I know for somedogs its hard to have the kind ofpatience to show all day, so I amvery thankful to have her It is hardto show Poms in juniors. Theyhappen to be very long classes and it can be very competitive. Its difficult to compete with the large breeds in juniorsbecause most judges wont even look at the junior with the little dog. So it can be very hard for me but then Ill geta time where Ill suddenly get a 2nd, 3rd or 4th placement out of 15 juniors. Then Ill be surprised but I guess it alldepends on the judge. And sometimes us show people can underestimate ourselves. To me this happens to be a fact.We have to understand that we never know what a judge is going to pick. We have to understand that we are notalways going to win and not always going to lose. Everyone gets their chance to get what they want. We just haveto be patient with ourselves and I know that many people can feel like just giving up because of this reason. But youcant give up. I learned in this business not to give up no matter what because I could lose everything for one yearstraight. And after all that I could suddenly get BJH, BOB or BIS. Then all the suffering and frustration will all beworth it because all I needed was one win, just one to make me happy Showing dogs requires a lot of patience. I would like to give thanks to many of my friends. I would first like to say thanks to Diane Finch forproviding me with a juniors dog. A thanksto Leesa Molina, Diane Dawson, AlaneLevinsohn, Amanda Seitzer, Tish Cannonand Al Lapuz for supporting me. And aspecial thanks to Diane Finch and Al Lapuzfor sponsoring me into the AmericanPomeranian Club.Hopefully my story has giveninsight to others thinking about showingand I hope you enjoyed it We welcomeyour thoughts or comments on our web siteat cnrpoms.com.

Katie Gammill - Lerna, Illinoisindcrk13011consolidated.netwww.indiancreekshelties.comA TIMEFOR ALLSEASONSIt is never easy to make a final decision for your pet.When we choose to accept pets into our household, we alsochoose to eventually make a decision as to their quality oflife. This is extremely difficult.However, as difficult as we find it is to let our pets go, it is even harderfor the person watching the light fade from their eyes as life slowly ebbs away.This responsibility and courtesy, we owe our pets. The sick and feeble deserveto be relieved of their pain.Last weekend was one of such a dreaded decision. Our house petIndian Creek Energizer Bunny went to her final resting place. Bunny wasapproaching 15 years old. My constant companion for all these years, it wasno longer an option to keep her alive for ME She turned her nose up atsliced wieners, raw venison, her favorite Pedigree, chicken, rice, and otherspecial offerings. She even lost her taste for fried fish. That was when weknew. My husband of 50 years explains he did it for me. I understand this.That Thursday I bathed and blew Bunny dry. I cuddled her before leaving tojudge the dog shows that weekend. My heart broke as I walked away, knowingBunny was fading fast. It was just a matter of time.It is normal procedure to locate favorite toys and blankets as timeshortens. Bunny, being deaf and blind, had few teeth left. We did the Rimadylroute and ceased heartworm and flea treatments. Her life was a delicatebalance and they seemed to have an adverse effect. As many small breeds do, her trachea began to collapse. She chokedand spit up. We at one time called Bunny Old Iron Kidneys. Now herfastidious potty habits were slipping. Her breathing was distressed and wesuspected heart problems. Despite her infirmities, she continued to be alphabitch to the end.My husband and I often discussed it was almost Bunnys time.However, upon my arrival home, the fact it was over and done, stunned me.Greeted by a stressed out husband, he said to me, This was a bad weekendTo begin with, the neighbors cat whotends to gamble on nine lives with aflagrant disregard that amazes us all,crawled up to sit on my husbandstruck tire and ended up with a brokenleg. This same neighbor asked myhusband to take their goat to the vet.Complying with their wishes, the goatdied before he could get it there.Some friends boarded a racemare on our farm for close to 30years. Mels deteriorated conditionand painful movements when she didmove prompted my husband to callthe vet. There were bad days and gooddays for both Mel, and Bunny.Recently, the bad outweighed thegood.Upon examination, the vetassured my husband this is thehumane decision. Mels owners hadbeen concerned regarding her welfarefor some time. They discussed thiswith my husband. He assured them,when the time came, he would do whatwas necessary to alleviate her pain. While here, my husband2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1218 PM88i i w mw.' JNOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEW - 89asked the vet to examine Bunny. Hisprognosis was grave. Bunnys timewas now. Thus, my husband, at theveterinarys suggestion, made thefinal decision and both animals diedwith dignity. Digging a large holewith the backhoe to bury MelaniesPride, she lies next to Jalapeno Rose,another race mare we boarded foryears for the same people. A largerock with Mels name marks her finalresting place.My husband also dug asmaller grave for Bunny. It is next toPoco Bolo de Fuego, Bunnys lifetimebuddy. They rest near the pond underthe oak tree with all our furry friends.My husband engraved two smallstones to mark their graves. Granted,this week has been extremely toughfor all concerned.Personally, I feel any time ananimal remains on his or her own turfwhen death is imminent is a plus.There is comfort in familiarsurroundings. They avoid the stressof waiting in a veterinarians office.Sitting on the floor that evening, ourdogs gathered around my husband.They sensed the loss. Dynamics werechanging. When it comes time for myhusbands beloved cattle dogs to go, Iam the person taking them to the vetfor euthanasia. They return home. Webury them with the rest under the bigtree. This is our gift to each other.We each must find our ownway. My friend has a Germanshepherd and Golden. Both well upinto years, they came down withcancer. Both are treated with chemoand radiation. She keeps them on aBarf diet and wraps herbs, vitamins,and medication into cheese balls.Having her yard sprayed yearly, toolate she learns chemicals can triggercancer. Perhaps a certain amount ofguilt enters in to this situation,however, being a nurse, nurturer, andtown person, she looks at lifedifferently.There is an old saying, Anyday above ground is a good day Iam not convinced of that. After thousands of dollars in treatment at theUniversity of Illinois, the old Golden looks at me with pleading eyes, beggingto be relieved of her suffering and pain. The German shepherd breaks down inthe rear quarters. Temporarily cancer free, he now has neurological problems.The Chihuahua perks right along with an occasional bout with kidneys due toteeth going bad, a plague to toy dogs. My friend pulls rugs up from the floordue to incontinence. She builds special steps and takes precautions for safety.The dogs plug along, day after painful day. I do not know the answers. I amnot sure who she is doing this for, her beloved pets, or herself. I do not makejudgments. I simply sympathize and ride with her to the University for theanimals treatments.Country folks like us live with life and death on a daily basis. Wewatch wounded wild animals struggle to exist. We see the balance of nature.We understand survival of the fittest. There IS a time for all seasons. Weaccept the inevitability of the death of all Gods living creatures, both largeand small. Quality of life is very important to us. We do not like to watch thewalking wounded and are often relieved when a coyote dispenses the finalcourtesy.I am not convinced there is a right or wrong way. Each person mustlook death in the face and make the decision for him or herself. There is noeasy way. I recall Bunny standing and barking at my reading chair for herdinner. I was NOT sitting in it. I was in the kitchen. She merely saw thereading light on and smelled my presence. It was heartbreakingly funny. Ipicked her up and directed her to her waiting food bowl. How she knew whenI moved from one room to another, I will never understand. I would leave thecomputer room and go into the living room. Shortly after, she would shuffle inand lie at my feet.I still look for Bunny. No longer will her little fuzzy butt sit on mysurge protector and shut down my computer. The wind no longer blowsthrough her brilliant red coat. Yet, somehow I know she will wait for ussomeday with all the other furry Indian Creek animals. Free from pain, hereyes will sparkle. Without a doubt, when she arrives, this 13 sheltie willestablish her position of alpha bitch and rule the others with her tiny ironpaw.One cannot replace a friend such as Bunny. When people come to meto buy a new puppy with pictures of their faithful companion, I suggest theybuy another color and sex. There is no way another dog will fill the pawprints of something so loved. We should not even try. We should value everyanimal for his or her uniqueness. Bunny is gone now. In my litter of 3-weekoldshelties, there is a tiny male. He snuffles with a cold, the rest are thriving.He is worming his way into my heart with his courage and determination tolive a full life. My husband sees it coming. He says, Here we go again. Iguess it wont eat too much. These words have a familiar ring. I heard themonce before, so many years ago. Rest well, old friend. We miss youdreadfully.In honor of Indian Creek Energizer BunnyThe tide recedes and leaves behind bright seashells on the sand,The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers over land.The music stops, the melody goes on in sweet refrain.For everything that passes, something beautiful remains.Author unknown2007 NOV DEC Pom Review.p65 10122007, 1218 PM89m90 - NOVDEC 2007 APC POMERANIAN REVIEWSaturday dawned bleak and rainy, but theAmerican Kennel Club had already emailedeveryone to let us know that theevent was on.
