How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
<TABLE title="" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="95%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD title="" vAlign=top align=middle colSpan=2 height=5>1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, checked to make sure I haven't missed any, and made just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture..
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
11. Chihuahua : Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or 'We don't need no stinking light bulb.'
12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
13. Australian Cattle Dog: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy-ride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!
As we once again head into spring and what looks like being another long, hot, dry summer now is the time to start, if you already haven’t, protecting your dogs and cats against fleas and ticks. With our “Queensland Winters” year round prevention is highly recommended. Ticks are a serious problem for our pets as they can cause serious illness and even death. The two most common ticks we come across on our pets are the Paralysis Tick and the Brown Dog Tick. However, it is the Paralysis Tick that is by far the most dangerous. It causes paralysis in a variety of forms but a ‘typical’ case can start with weakness of the hindquarters that progresses to total paralysis of all four legs. Other typical early signs include an altered bark or meow, retching, coughing or vomiting and difficult or rapid breathing. If your pet shows any signs you should search for and remove the tick and seek veterinary attention as quick as possible. If you have removed a tick take it with you to the vet for positive identification. Preventing tick paralysis is a much safer and cheaper alternative than treating the condition once it has occurred. The most effective prevention is a thorough, daily search of your pets skin and coat combined with the use of products like ‘Preventic Collars’, ‘Frontline Plus’, ‘Advantix’ and ‘Proban’. For more detailed information on which of these products is most suited to you and your pet talk to your Vet.
Fido Forensics
After all these years of telling people their dog’s a labradoodle or a “collie-cross-rottweiler-cross-shetland-cross-alsatian . . .”, some Americans have put their money where their mouth is and decided to get some scientific proof. Doggie DNA testing has proven to be a popular pastime for dog owners in the United States since it was first introduced less than a year ago. Those with pet mongrels have embraced the do-it-yourself tests to find out which breeds produced their pet, and owners who spent a large chunk of their salary on “designer” breeds have used to test to make sure they got exactly what they paid for. The “canine heritage test” was originally developed by the veterinary division of Mars, and was quickly made available in vets throughout the U.S. Since then, other companies have begun to offer the do-it-yourself versions which owners can do from home. After taking a swab of their dog’s cheek, pet owners simply send the DNA sample for analysis at an increasing number of commercial databases that contain the genetic blueprints of almost 130 breeds accepted by the American Kennel Club. Aside from satisfying some natural curiosity, veterinarians believe that the test will also help owners of mongrel puppies prepare for the characteristics of particular breeds, such as a predisposition toward fighting by pit bulls or the herding tendencies of sheepdogs.
