The Joneses have a very friendly golden retriever named Sparky. But he is left off leash in the common areas of his homeowners association and the pooch walks up to the neighbors and jumps on them to greet them. The neighbors like the Joneses and Sparkys, but they have asked you to remind them to follow HOA rules and put their dog on a leash.

Or maybe you’re in a condo association that allows cats, but residents have complained that Mike in unit 249 has 13 of the feline creatures and the smell is becoming noticeable.

If your community association allows pets, but with restrictions, you need a plan for dealing with criminals. Here are five rules for dealing with negligent homeowners in your homeowners association.

1) Enforce the rules. Although you may like pets yourself, people have accepted your HOA in part because they liked the rules governing owner behavior. It’s your job – and fiduciary duty – as a board member of your homeowners association to enforce those rules. It doesn’t matter that Sparky is friendly. If neighbors are breaking the rules, and your neighbors’ ability to live in peace has diminished, put on your enforcement hat and do your job as a member of the HOA board.

2) Document the problem. If the Wilson family lets their dogs out at 6 a.m. every day and allows them to bark until they go to work at 7:30 a.m., start taking notes. Create a record of incidents and document them in as many ways as possible. Take pictures, record the barking, and ask unhappy neighbors in your Homeowner’s Association to write a complaint. Only when you have strong evidence that there is a problem should you approach the owners to resolve it.

3) Request compliance. Before you fall like an anvil on your HOA owners who don’t realize the stress their pets are causing, taste the honey first. Either in person or by letter, explain the problem and ask for it to be corrected. It’s hard for homeowners to get angry or dismissive if you’re in front of them, so a personal discussion can resolve the issue more quickly. However, if you go that route, document the discussion immediately afterward. Be specific in explaining the problem and the actions you need landlords to take, and don’t threaten them with fines or other punitive actions. The time for threats may come, but at this stage they can backfire.

4) Follow-up. After informing the owner of complaints and requesting a resolution, check back to see if the problem has been corrected. If not, get tough. Now is the time to remind homeowners of the rules and the penalties for breaking them. Review the governing documents to make sure you know your options. Then write a letter explaining the problem, your efforts to solve it, and the fact that it has not been fixed. Explain that if the problem is not corrected within a certain time, the HOA process will begin to deal with non-compliant homeowners. Keep that promise and take whatever steps are necessary to keep homeowners compliant.

5) Be compassionate. If the owners are in a difficult position, perhaps they have too many cats or dogs, but they don’t want to give them up because they fear they will be euthanized, volunteer to help. You may be thinking that’s beyond the call of duty, and you’re probably right. But if you don’t have the time or temperament to help the owners, ask an animal lover from your homeowners association to accept the point. The job may require phone calls to local shelters or posting information about the pets on adoption websites, but the result is likely to be positive. If you take that route, everyone wins.

If you are looking for a Pug puppy, know that you are getting a very dependent breed of dog. Due to their unnatural squashed faces, Pugs tend to have a lot of respiratory problems. Due to their wrinkled skin and flattened faces, they have trouble cleaning themselves. Due to their large eyes, they often injure their eyes. All Pug puppies are cute, but keep in mind that you are designing a dog, not designed by nature.

If you are still looking for a Pug puppy after considering all the Pug information, go to an American Kennel Club licensed breeder or a Pug breed rescue group. At least you will have the healthiest and healthiest version of this less natural dog possible. Since Pugs are so popular, you will likely find Pug breeders throughout most of the continental United States. But not all Pug breeders are the same.

The most important questions to ask a Pug breeder may sound a bit rude at first, but a good Pug breeder won’t mind being asked. You should ask if they send their puppies. The answer should be no. You should ask if there is a contract to sign. The answer should be yes. You should also ask for references from other people who have bought puppies from them in the past.

Never buy a Pug puppy without being seen. You should not only see the puppy, but also the puppy’s mother and the kennel in which the puppy was raised. A good Pug breeder rarely has puppies for sale, they only have a couple of litters a year, so you should be on a waiting list. A good Pug breeder will be more than happy to have visitors in his kennel or home (in most cases, Pugs are raised indoors and live in the same houses as their owners).

You should also ask the Pug breeder why they are breeding Pugs as they are such an unnatural breed. Hopefully, you’ll get responses from breeders hoping to promote healthier Long-nosed Pugs rather than one that wins ribbons and trophies. Along with their Persian cat faces, Pugs also have amazing personalities. It is possible that they were simply charmed more by the Pug’s company than its appearance.

They should also ask you lots of questions about your Pug information store and any past Pug experiences you may have. There should be a waiting period and a contract, which states very clearly for which medical conditions the Pug puppy is justified. The final word as to who gets which Pug puppy is from the Pug breeder, not yours. You should also ask if you can call for future training advice at no additional cost. Knowing all of this now, reconsider a puppy and adopt an adult Pug from your local animal shelter.

Many of us, myself included, tend to slip our dogs a piece of table here, a piece of table there: a piece of meat, a piece of cheese, a stalk of broccoli ol ‘Fido will spit on the carpet and make us clean up. While most of our offerings may seem harmless, there is one thing we should never give our dogs: wine. No matter how much our dogs beg, beg, or promise to clean up their own backyard mess, wine is one thing that just isn’t for canines.

Now most dogs probably wouldn’t even drink wine if it was offered to them. I imagine many would just stick their noses in and walk away and lick each other. But, there are some dogs that will simply consume anything that is placed near their mouths. My dog, for example, once ate a Starburst wrapper and begged for another, letting me believe that if I ever offered him wine, he would toast me before quickly gulping it down.

But my dog, and yours, simply must live a life not knowing what good wine tastes like (ironically, many dogs think humans should live a life without knowing what good cat poop tastes like). The reason why wine and dogs don’t go hand in hand is simple: Wine, or anything that contains grapes, is potentially harmful to dogs. Drinking it can cause them to develop kidney failure, an inability to produce urine and, of course, bark with difficulty. Some dogs with this type of reaction can survive, but unfortunately, it can also prove fatal.

Science isn’t sure why wine has this effect on canines, and it’s not sure why some dogs don’t react badly to wine and others do. The source of the blame is supposed to be a mycotoxin, a poison that can be generated when a fungal infection attacks vines. This type of poison can be prevalent in a variety of grapes: those that are grown in the backyard and those that are bought in the market, those that are red and those that are green, those that have seeds and those that do not, those that are dried (like raisins) and those that are fresh.

The potential toxicity of each glass of wine if consumed by a dog depends on two things: the number of grapes used to make the wine and the size of the dog. Wines made solely from grapes, without other fermented fruits, are potentially more dangerous than apple wine or apricot wine. The size of the dog is the other factor: just as a smaller human will be more affected by a glass of wine than a larger human, a smaller dog can get sick from a little wine, while a larger dog can be okay. Still, even if you have a 160-pound Saint Bernard, you could possibly get sick from just one sip. Wine seems to affect many dogs differently.

If a dog consumes wine, perhaps licking a puddle accidentally spilled on the floor or, less likely, obtaining a key to the cellar, there are certain symptoms to look for to warn you that your dog is sick. The dog may initially experience vomiting or loose stools only to progress to symptoms of lethargy, refusal to drink, and poor appetite. Full-blown kidney failure can start in as little as 48 hours after consuming the wine.

In the event of symptoms, you should call your veterinarian or animal poison control center immediately. If the dog consumed the wine within a few hours, treatment may include inducing vomiting. The vet may also give your dog something to soak up the rest of the venom and start with intravenous fluids. Various medications can also be given to protect the stomach, dampen the kidneys, and ignite the flow of urine.

Even if your dog receives prompt and efficient treatment, there is no guarantee that the kidneys will not fail. For this reason, your best option to keep your dog free from this fatal disease is to keep wine, grapes, and raisins out of his mouth. This allows him, with a bottle of wine in hand and a dog at his side, to keep his two best friends.

Taking care of your pet is the highest priority. As with children, any pet parent has a lot to worry about. From bathing to nail trimming, the pet’s parent has to find the necessary time along with their daily schedules to make their pets happy.

Just as a human being can develop allergies, pets can present adverse health symptoms due to exposure to fleas, environmental and dietary allergens. Allergens can be inhaled, ingested, or come in contact with a pet’s skin, resulting in a variety of digestive, respiratory, or skin symptoms. Fortunately, there are reliable testing methods available to accurately diagnose and treat allergies in pets. Possible solutions include pet medications and hypoallergenic diets.

Diagnosing pet allergies

Allergens and the reactions they cause may differ from animal to animal. Reactions to food allergens are rare and affect less than 10% of dogs or cats. Environmental allergens include those found indoors, such as dust mites and mold spores, and outdoors, such as pollen spores and grass. Animals can also be exceptionally sensitive to flea bites. Even a small amount of flea saliva can cause widespread irritation to the animal.

Pets can display a number of symptoms that can be indicative of an allergic reaction, including:

• vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Sneezing, coughing, or wheezing

• Snoring caused by a sore throat

• Swollen paws or when chewing the paws

• Itchy ears or ear infections

• Itching on the back or the base of the tail

Some of these symptoms, while common allergic reactions, can also be indicative of other health problems. Before a pet is tested for allergies, it must be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian. Once the veterinarian has determined that the animal is exposed to allergens, they can administer a sufficient allergy test.

Allergy Medications for Pets

Human medications, such as over-the-counter antihistamines, should never be given to a pet unless specifically prescribed by a licensed veterinarian. These drugs can cause adverse effects in animals if taken alone or mixed with another drug. Extreme drowsiness, seizures, or other symptoms may occur.

Pet medications will be prescribed based on individual symptoms, severity of symptoms, and any pre-existing conditions the animal may have. As for food allergies, the animal can be put on a special diet that limits or eliminates the reactive ingredient. Medications, such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, or allergy shots, may be prescribed to control other allergies. For skin reactions, topical medications such as shampoos or creams may also be prescribed.

Unfortunately, as of now, there is no cure for pet allergies. However, there are treatment methods, including pet medications, that can successfully control symptoms and allow the animal to enjoy a better quality of life. A licensed veterinarian can accurately diagnose and properly treat pet allergies.

The Cairnoodle is a mixed breed developed from the Cairn Terrier and the Miniature Poodle, so it has an appearance that includes characteristics of both breeds. It weighs about 15-20 pounds and is between 10 and 15 inches tall. They are found in different mixes of cream, red, black, and gray. Their life expectancy is 12 to 16 years.

The Cairnoodle’s coat can be either frizzy or slightly wavy. It is generally sparse and short throughout the body. The coat is longer and more abundant on the face.

Friendly, affectionate, good companion and loyal, the Cairnoodle can possess the fearlessness of a Terrier, the sensitivity of a Poodle, or both. Although the Cairnoodle cross can draw behavioral characteristics from both the Poodle and the Cairn Terrier, the Cairnoodle is best known for its playful demeanor and poodle-like coat. These high-energy pups are independent too. They require a lot of attention and do not work well if ignored or left alone for long periods of time. They will become destructive if they get bored or lonely. They do well with children, dogs, and the non-canine pets that they have been raised with. The Cairnoodle is alert, wary of strangers, and will bark to announce visitors or unusual sounds.

They are often at their best with children, as their intelligence, sensitivity, desire to please, and amazing ability to play make them excellent companions for children. Its natural protection is also an advantage for a family pet.

Cairnoodles require frequent grooming and the coat should be brushed several times a week. It also requires regular washing. Nails have the potential to grow large and must be trimmed regularly.

They adapt well to apartment life and like to play indoors.

Cairnoodle puppies are compact in size, wonderful with children, as cute as can be, and they are also very friendly.

Their litter size is from 3 to 8 puppies.

What more could you ask for in a perfect family?

Pet shoppers have many options today. Those in the market for a purebred German Shepherd should research the details before purchasing. This article will cover the history of the German Shepherd, characteristics, where to buy, and how to avoid illicit breeders and sellers. In addition, buyers should know how to care for a purebred German Shepherd and be prepared for it well in advance of purchase.

The history of the German Shepherd dog begins quite recently compared to other breeds. Although there were several sheepdogs in Germany, the first was classified as such in 1899. A German cavalry captain, Max von Stephanitz, noticed a fine example of a sheepdog at a dog show. That dog, Hektor, was renamed Horand von Grafath, and he was the first German shepherd. Stephanitz founded The German Shepherd Dog Club of Germany and became the first German Shepherd breeder in history.

The German Shepherd Dog has a relatively short history. The first German Shepherd breeder, Max von Stephanitz, registered the breed in Germany in 1899. The breed was registered by the American Kennel Club in 1911. German Shepherds are sheep herding dogs and are still used in some countries for that purpose today. , but it is more likely to be used in the workforce for a variety of purposes, including police work and as helpers for the visually impaired.

German Shepherds, closely followed by Labradors, are one of the easiest breeds to train due to their high intelligence, trainability, and physical and mental stamina. This breed is also known for being loyal, courageous, and protective. Because of these inherent traits, it is very important that they begin life in an environment where they receive stimulation, attention, discipline, and training. Reputable breeders take great care to provide a foundation on which German Shepherds can grow up to be intelligent, socialized working dogs.

A bad German Shepherd breeder only breeds dogs for cash and nothing else. They see puppies and parents as merchandise, not living creatures. The term puppy mill or backyard breeder is the name given to these illicit breeders. Females are bred in each and every season, leading to a shorter lifespan and poor health. They are confined in very small cages and have no socialization of any kind. Puppies are kept in the same kinds of conditions, which can lead to physically and emotionally unhealthy litters. These are the type of puppies found in pet stores.

The best advice is to find a reputable German Sherperd breeder who really cares about the puppies they produce. This type of breeder will ask potential buyers questions to ensure the well-being of the puppy in his new home. They will have all the proper documentation, such as the American Kennel Club registration and veterinary health reports, as well as lots of care information to pass on to the new family.

We came to the land of 1000 languages ​​and 1000 gods. At the Intercontinental, the women in my group are greeted with marigolds and marked with the typical red dot on their foreheads. This hotel is an oasis of luxury in a polluted city of 14 million people.

We spent two days touring Delhi. Mandatory sites include Gandhi’s Tomb and many UNESCO World Heritage sites. Nowhere have ancient traditions mixed with modern ones on such an obvious scale as in Delhi. The fat and holy bulls of Brahma block traffic creating delays. In this Hindu land, cows rule. Dogs, monkeys and children cross at their own risk.

I love spicy food and start each day with a 3-alarm breakfast and curry. We drive by coach to Rajasthan, the beautiful desert state where cows are replaced by camels. The air is sweeter and everything more colorful. Here is a microcosm of all that is India.

The people are gentle with a humility without spirit and still light up at the sight of foreigners. We continually greet through our windows those who look curiously and seem to say, “Why have you come here?” As a third world fan, this place has been on my dream list for years. I now enter vividly into that element of the journey that amazes me.

We come to attend the annual Pushkar Camel Fair which has been going on for a thousand years. As the largest in the world, it has attracted 50,000 camels with 200,000 traders at its peak. We unpack at our camp called Exotic Adventures. Our Spartan tents had toilets, but toilet paper was in short supply. There was a 24-hour guard outside who was stingily rationing our quota.

In the desert, the nights are freezing and the afternoons suffocating. I confided to a guest from the US Embassy that I felt like I was in an episode of “Survivor.” She laughed assuring me it was worth it. Soon my surprise turns to amazement when I enter the fairgrounds.

Set on miles of shifting sand dunes with ornate camels and an avalanche of pilgrims, the scene seems totally surreal. It’s like a state steroid fair. There’s a flurry of horse, ox, and camel races, milking contests, animal decorating, tying turbans, tattooing, and snake charmers, free carnival rides, mystics, astrologers, and dazzling craft stalls at draw prices. The ground resonates with activities. Thousands of Rajasthani women have arrived dressed in their best clothes in colors close to neon. I see trained monkeys, painted cows and cobras dancing. There are no words that can adequately describe how this outrage overwhelms my 5 senses. Others may have Europe with its cathedrals and museums. For me, this exotic exhibition and cultural immersion is the best trip!

Covered in dust, we returned to camp. Every night there is entertainment under the stars with musicians, folk dancers, puppet show or fire eater. Alcohol is not allowed here and all meals are vegetarian buffets. An Ayurveda Center offers us treatments to purify body toxins. We reject them: induced vomiting, enemas, nasal drainage and bleeding.

We tour the holy city of Pushkar with its sacred lake created by Lord Brahma. Pilgrims come from afar to bathe in the ghats and worship 24 hours a day. Here we learn about religions: Zorastrism, Sihkism, Sufi mystics, Jains who don’t kill a mosquito, Hinduism that doesn’t claim absolute truth, and the caste system. We visit temples on the lake; some are “blessed” by priests. Later, the highlight for me was an hour-long Camel Cart Safari behind the scenes of the fair. Children line our path yelling at us “hello, hello, a pen please!”

We see a sacrificed camel and half-naked people washing themselves. Back inside the grounds, we visited an orphanage and dispersed individually to lose ourselves in the feverish revelry. We ride huge spitting camels that give us a broader perspective of everything. I buy a dozen garnet necklaces and silver anklets. The teens come up to Terry to photograph him. One politely like him, “Sir, what do you eat?”
There are endless food courts, however, we must pass all the attractions to avoid “Delhi Belly”. I find the cacophony of chaos delicious. Pushkar is truly a party affair for the locals and we are just observing guests. I am very grateful to experience this, but it is time to continue our busy schedule.

We arrived at the famous “Pink City” of Jaipur, now more garnet with pollution. As we tour its palaces, forts, and architectural wonders, we learn of the great Amber rulers and Maharajas of the Moghul empire. The story comes to life and I find myself so interested in what I never cared about. And here is a paradise for buyers of silk saris, gems, jewelry and marble handicrafts. I visited an animal sanctuary called “Help in Suffering”. The worst cases of various species are treated here by volunteer vets. Forty-five stray dogs are sterilized daily and I witness surgery. Continue to see the great Fatehpur Sikri, “Akbara Ghost Town” which was abandoned due to water shortage. We finally reached Agra, a broken city of 2.5 million. Street vendors harass us. Chained bears dance for rupees in the street. Hungry children beg. We are grateful to stay at the luxury Sheraton here with its affordable $ 20 Western cuisine and massages. It was like a galaxy change from downtown.

After witnessing plenty of wonders along the way, we’ve saved the best for last in the world’s greatest tribute to love. I get goose bumps when I walk through the majestic door of the Taj Mahal. The morning sunlight illuminates it like a flawless pearl. 22 years to build by 200,000 men with 2 million pieces of inlaid semi-precious stones. After a lecture on why this perfect symmetry was created for Queen Mumtaz, we spread out to photograph what appears to be a mirage. It is poetry in architecture and as magnificent as you can imagine.

Back in Delhi, we all enjoyed a day off at leisure to explore as we choose! Most go shopping because the prices are outrageously low, but how many Pashmina shawls do you need? For our last night we enjoyed a show called “Dances of India” followed by a farewell party to our Last Supper (India).

Remiso another trip well done with excellent guides, drivers, assistance and accommodation. I remember my favorite moment that took place at the fair when I hired two “bodyguards” to help me get through the crowd, Jamal and Ranshi. These two 11-year-olds joined me like barnacles and their beaming, smiling faces will forever be etched in my memory of India. This trip has renewed my curiosity about the world, reminding me once again that my love for travel is multiplying. The more I see, the more I want to see.

This country is for the seasoned traveler. I am very impressed with the strength and patience of my group of 60 people in a land of erratic infrastructure. For some it was their first visit to the third world, but all persevered as professionals. Witnessing suffering firsthand is the most complete way to appreciate home. We saw scary and joyful things. However, the word “fascinating” would sum up the entire trip. I must go back again.

Some birds are born abnormally and develop abnormalities in their beaks. These can cause a beak that is too large, so your upper or lower beak grows too large. We call this a scissor beak. These can be caused by genetic and nutritional deficiencies during development. Typically, conditions as such can be fixed with dental braces, which work similarly to human braces to straighten the beak and correct bites.

Birds can also develop beak cancer, mainly squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. This can manifest as erosion, discoloration, and masses on the beak. If discovered early, tumors in the beak can be surgically removed.

Nutritional deficiencies can cause liver disease from excess fat, and poor dietary nutrition can cause raised, scaly spikes. Lack of calcium and vitamin D can cause soft, rubbery beaks, mainly in smaller birds. Therefore, give the bird a proper diet and these symptoms can be reversed.

Infectious diseases such as viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens can directly infect the bird’s beak or infect another part of the bird’s body and cause problems secondary to the beak. Some major problems here include scaly mites on the legs and face and feather disease and fowl pox. Bacterial and fungal diseases are generally treated successfully with antibiotics or antifungal medications. The key to treating any of these conditions is careful observation and quick action on your part. If you notice anything unusual about your bird’s beak, contact your vet immediately. The sooner you analyze the problem, the sooner your bird will be safe and treated, and the more likely there is a good prognosis.

Many bird owners have more in common than just their love for their feathered friends, they are also in love with kittens, dogs, etc. While birds and cats are natural enemies in nature, there are ways to train them to successfully live together in the same home. Here are some tips to keep the peace between your feathered friend and your furry feline; You may find that keeping the birds and cats together is not as difficult as you might think.

o If the cat shows interest in hunting your bird, give your cat a quick spray with a bottle of water.

o If the bird shows interest in your cat, use the same technique

With constant training, both pets must learn to tolerate each other fairly quickly. Birds can contract certain diseases from cats, and direct exposure to a cat’s fur through bites, for example, can put your bird at risk. Therefore, you should try to avoid any physical contact between a bird and a cat, if possible.
