Happy Birthday, Sofie!

Heather — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:46:36 +0000

We remember you when you were THIS big:

Sofie at 12 weeks (with Zooey)

And now you are a big girl!

Sofie

Your mom says you’re getting filet mignon tonight. What does filet taste like when you have a nose like yours?

Happy birthday, little girl. We Love You!

This is Ed Juda!

Ah HA! See, you do know him — in his capacity of Head Zone Gardener for the North Meadow of Central Park. He greets each of us every morning.

Here he is getting an earful from morning regular, Cleo.

And this is also Ed, in his normal human capacity as owner of three beautiful dogs.

Homemade dog cookies from Ed

This tuna cookie recipe just in from our very own Ed Juda. Who is Ed Juda? You all know him! (See next post.) He calls them Eileen’s Tuna Treats (after his first dog trainer). He says, the dog just LOVE these inexpensive treats. Give it a try. We will and we’ll test them out on our boarders and report back.

Eileen’s Tuna Treats

2 6oz. cans of tuna in water not drained
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of flour (rice works well, but any will do)

Mix all the ingredients in either a blender or food processor. Spread onto a greased brownie sheet or pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minuets until golden brown. The texture should be like putty. Cool and cut into small pieces. Place what you need into a plastic bag, and freeze the rest.

Does Mason sniff out cancers? Not that we know of. That was the news story. Christa and Mason were there for their 15 minutes.

Does your dog have chronic ear infections?

Heather — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:44:03 +0000

Maybe you need an ear blower. This is an ear blower:

Ear Blower (or “Powder Blower – Model 119”)

Animal General (www.animalgeneral.com) prescribed an ear blower for Winston, our Standard Poodle friend, after what seemed a continuous cycle of infection followed by antibiotics and ear cleansers. It’s very simple. Every other day, Winston’s “mom” puffs boric acid in each of Winston’s ears and he has not had a recurrence of ear trouble in a year.

Want more information? This product is made by DeVilbiss and it’s official name is “Powder Blower – Model 119” http://www.micromedics-usa.com/products/rhinology/devilbiss.htm

Caveat: I am no vet! Ear infections can have many causes. But, if you’ve tried everything, ask your vet about this.

Meantime, here’s what one of my go-to sources for doggie medical advice (Drs Foster & Smith) has to say about ear infections in general: http://peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2091&aid=273

If you haven’t seen this, you should!
