Luis don't be silly. Cows don't wear moo moos. All I know is they say MOO 
MOO. However I am not sure about Hawaiian cows. But I am sure happy that my 
cagdu e-mail works, because we have a lot of work ahead of us before our 
seminar.
Love,
JC

Hi y'all.  Emily was just here for the entrance interview.  While here, she noticed that Gulliver might have a neurological problem in that he doesn't correct the position of his foot and stands with his paw facing up.  He makes the correction as soon as we start walking, but it is a concern.  So it's off to the vets office.  Gulliver'll like that.  They always give him a biscuit for being so brave on the table.  Bye for now.  Ken

Guide dogs in a war zone
MICHAEL FIELD - The Dominion Post | Friday, 4 May 2007

JOHN SELKIRK
TAKING THE HITS: Petrus Tuerlings with 11-year-old
Leo. Both have been attacked by pit bulls and Leo has
also been shot in the leg by someone with an air
rifle.

Leo is one tough and loyal old companion. Three times
in the past 18 months, the West Auckland guide dog has
been savaged by pit bull terriers.

Another time, while guiding handler Petrus Tuerlings
along the street, Leo was shot in the leg by somebody
with an air rifle.

The 11-year-old great dane-pointer cross is a symbol
of the increasingly violent climate in which Royal New
Zealand Foundation of the Blind dogs have to
work.

It's an expensive battle. Dogs cost the foundation
$22,500 each to breed and train and, after an attack,
many have to be retrained or withdrawn. For their
handlers, that can be a catastrophe. There is a long
waiting list for trained guide dogs and an injured dog
cannot quickly be put back into action.

Foundation dog instructor Angie Coupar said that, in
the past year, 15 dogs - worth about $330,000 - had
required significant veterinary treatment after
dog attacks. "Menacing behaviour toward guide dogs
happens on a daily basis somewhere in New Zealand."

The foundation says both dog and handler suffer crises
of confidence after attacks. Mr Tuerlings now gets
nervous when he hears dogs barking ahead.

He was with Leo when the dog was shot and managed to
get him to a vet quickly. The pit bull attacks, on
both Leo and Mr Tuerlings, have been more frightening.
"I am more frightened for him than for me."

In the last attack, in December, a pit bull charged at
Leo, tearing his stomach. "There was no warning, he
just came running out."

Though a big dog, Leo did not fight. "He was giving
little whimpers and little nips at the dog, because he
was latched on to the stomach, but he wasn't
really fighting at all."

The foundation breeds and trains its dogs not to be
aggressive. "If one of our dogs shows aggression, they
cannot be used," Ms Coupar says. "It makes it
more difficult for one to defend itself.

"It's not used to that kind of behaviour. They have
been socialised all their lives with other friendly
dogs. They are restricted in a harness; they cannot
jump or leap out of the way."

Leo is now facing retirement. Mr Tuerlings is keeping
him, though; he found him as a youngster at a dog
pound and the foundation's Guide Dog Services later
recognised his guiding talents.

Age has barely wearied him, though his handler says he
no longer goes to restaurants because Leo is not keen
on lying under a table for an hour or so. "He's
lost his patience for all that."

Hi Julie.  Gulliver's been to the vet.  There is some degeneration, but the doc thinks it's from arthritis or some other inflammatory condition.  He's put Gulliver on Remedil.  He says we'll know in a couple days if that treatment will work.  If not, there's nothing to do.  I don't find that reassuring somehow.  In any case, we'll be at convention, but I don't think we'll be on the march to the capitol.  Thanks for your thoughts and words.  Ken PS If anybody on this list has had experience with Remedil, I'd like to hear about it.  KV

Hey Ken, my previous guide Hershey was on Remidill. It did help relieve
allot of the smelling and pain in his joints. He was able to work allot
better. That particular drug seems to work wellwith our guides. If you have
anymore questions, please ask. We're pulling for you and Gulliver. 
Love

see the vet?

Hi y'all.  Emily was just here for the entrance interview.  While here, she
noticed that Gulliver might have a neurological problem in that he doesn't
correct the position of his foot and stands with his paw facing up.  He
makes the correction as soon as we start walking, but it is a concern.  So
it's off to the vets office.  Gulliver'll like that.  They always give him a
biscuit for being so brave on the table.  Bye for now.  Ken

Thanks Tina.  That's good to know.  Right now, I'm so close to the issue I don't know what to do.  Gulliver's work seems to be just fine, but there's a class opening in June at the Boring campus.  Logically, I should just go to that class, but I have family in San Rafael.  My cousin might even be persuaded to bring his garage band over and play for us on an otherwise dull Saturday night.  

    Shortly, I'm going to walk down town and meet a friend for lunch.  There are some apartments along the way, and I'm going to test Gulliver's ability to negotiate stairs.  Bye for now.  Ken

  Hey Ken, my previous guide Hershey was on Remidill. It did help relieve allot of the smelling and pain in his joints. He was able to work allot better. That particular drug seems to work wellwith our guides. If you have anymore questions, please ask. We're pulling for you and Gulliver. 
  Love

  Hi Julie.  Gulliver's been to the vet.  There is some degeneration, but the doc thinks it's from arthritis or some other inflammatory condition.  He's put Gulliver on Remedil.  He says we'll know in a couple days if that treatment will work.  If not, there's nothing to do.  I don't find that reassuring somehow.  In any case, we'll be at convention, but I don't think we'll be on the march to the capitol.  Thanks for your thoughts and words.  Ken PS If anybody on this list has had experience with Remedil, I'd like to hear about it.  KV

Hi y'all.  Well, we're in the admitions process now.  There's an opening in August, or I can go on standby and maybe get a replacement dog a little earlier.  Just a new medical report and I'm done with the first part of the process.  

    As to how Gulliver is doing, Remedill did help, but not so much as clipping his toenails especially on his  left hind paw that had been the cause for all this concern.  We spent a great day shopping on our miracle mile.  It was a day that could pass for that last day when you walk with your guide that one last quiet time.  Lots of parties today.  I just think we might make it on the March for Independence after all.  Ken

Maybe I'm missing the point of your question, but I chose my school in part 
because they use clicker training rather than compulsion.  My dog is a great 
worker.  I certainly don't have any reason to feel like she was not 
well-trained.  I would definitely repeat my experience.  Hope this helps.

Hi Shannon.  I don't think my first email went through, so I'll try again. 
I have a lot of questions about clicker training.  I said in my "clicker" 
message that it introduced some variables that didn't need to be there.  I'm 
sure willing to give it a try, because GDB is my school and I'm an eager and 
willing student.  I do have a couple questions though.  Where did you get 
your dog from?  If this is not your first dog, did you notice a difference 
either in your dog's behavior or confidence?  Thanks for taking the time to 
answer my posting.  Ken

Hey guys,
   I don't think Clicker training is good. Alabama is not a clicker
dog we missed by a few classes. I've even seen the petco or petsmart
trainers using it when I've been in the store. It sounds good.
   At last national convention I went to a workshop hosted by GDB.
They taught the fundamental principles of clicker training. I think we
were there for about an hour to an hour and a half. Definitely not
enough time to be an expert but what I saw was pretty cool. My opinion
is it seems to bring out the initiative in your dog.
   I'm not sure what dangerous components may be associated with
clicker training. The only thing I can think of is the dog's possible
mistaking the clicker sound. The sound is pretty distinct and comes
from a specific area. From what I understand the clicking comes from
your right hand holding the harness and or leash. I don't think dog's
are that confused.
   I hope I was helpful. Ken could you be a little more specific about
your concern so you could get a clearer answer. I've got plenty of
those.

Subject: IAADP Call for Action on California AB 1634

 

Dear California IAADP member, 

 

A bill will be heard by the California State Assembly that will have a negative impact on the assistance dog movement if passed.  Assistance Dogs International,

Guide Dogs for the Blind and Canine Companions for Independence in addition to IAADP are all opposed to AB 1634. 

 

Below is the letter I sent to the Speaker of the Assembly, Fabian Nunez.  It would be very helpful it you added your voice to the growing opposition to

this bill. Please contact your assemblyperson.

 

Thanks for your help. Hope you and your canine partner are doing well.

Re: OPPOSED - Levine AB1634 California Healthy Pets Act, 

              the May 9,2007 amended version and all versions 

 

Dear Speaker Nunez, 

 

As president of the International Association of Assistance Dog 

Partners (IAADP), I am writing in strong opposition to AB 1634. 

I request inclusion  in the listed opposition to this ill- 

conceived legislation being considered by your committee. 

 

IAADP is a cross-disability consumer advocacy organization with 

more than 1,700 people with disabilities working with guide, 

hearing and service dogs.  Our independence, safety, mobility and 

an improved quality of life are interwoven with our trained 

canine assistants' ability to mitigate some of the effects of our 

disabilities.  AB 1634 threatens the very foundation of the 

relationship between us and our canine partners in independence. 

 

Many assistance dog programs rely on breeding their own stock to 

supply puppies for future guide and service dog work.  Among 

these are Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB)in San Rafael, the 

largest guide dog training program in the country, and Canine 

Companions for Independence, (CCI) in Santa Rosa, the originator 

of the service dog concept.  

 

AB 1634 requires neutering or spaying at 4 months of age, 

considerably earlier than dogs demonstrate their ability to work 

as canine assistants.   GDB and CCI, as California-based 

internationally recognized programs, would face virtual 

annihilation.  My wife and I have guide dogs trained at Guide 

Dogs for the Blind, and we, as well as more than 2,000 blind and 

visually impaired GDB graduates throughout the United States, 

would face a future without successor canine assistants if AB 

1634 were implemented.  This would threaten our ability to safely 

travel, work and enjoy other aspects of daily life. 

 

Exemptions in AB1634 are not provided for assistance dog training 

programs breeding their own future working dogs.  However, 

exemptions are recommended for commercial and for profit 

breeders, thus excluding not-for-profit programs Like GDB and 

CCI.  Since only registered pure-bred dogs would be permitted to 

breed, successful working dogs, such as Golden/Labrador 

Retriever, Labrador/Poodle and other cross-breeds, would be 

eliminated. 

 

The suggestion in the bill that active working assistance dogs be 

used for breeding purposes shows a lack of understanding of the 

assistance dog movement.  Working assistance dogs are spayed and 

neutered to guarantee that sex drives will not interfere with 

their work ethic.  Thus, they are eliminated from the breeding 

and gene pool. 

 

Although some training programs breed their own stock, many 

smaller programs rely on hobby breeders, most of whom are not 

commercial or for profit breeders,  to donate puppies as future 

working dogs.  This is the case for Guide Dogs of the Desert of 

Palm Springs and Pawsitive Teams of San Diego.  Here again, AB 

1634 threatens future recruitment of dogs to help disabled 

people. 

 

California is not only the home for more than 15 guide, hearing 

and service dog programs, it is also the home of more disabled 

people partnered with assistance dogs than any other state.  If 

AB 1634 is passed, it will have a negative impact on disabled 

Californians, but also on people with disabilities throughout the 

United States.  

 

   The basic premise of the bill is that mandatory spay and 

neutering will result in a decline in animals brought to 

shelters.  Actually, animals in California shelters have shown a 

significant decline during the last two decades based upon 

continuing educational efforts.  A large number of dogs and cats 

are brought to shelters between the ages of 18 and 36 months by 

their owners because of behavioral issues and AB 1634 would have 

no impact on these relinquishments.    

 

Instead of being called the California Healthy Pets Act, this 

piece of misguided legislation should be the California Deprive 

People with Disabilities of Their Assistance Dog Act! 

 

Thank you for taking the views of IAADP into consideration 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Ed Eames, Ph.D., President 

IAADP

EXCLUSIVE: Lab Reports Cyanuric Acid In Unrecalled Dry Food

UPDATE: The company that tested the food requested that we remove the image
of the report from this post after being contacted by Proctor & Gamble, the
parent company of Iams.

UPDATE 2: We received a call from an Iams spokesman. We have update the
story with their response.

ORIGINAL POST: Itchmo has learned that a toxicology test reported the
presence of cyanuric acid in an opened bag of what is alleged to be Iams
Large Breed dry dog food.

According to the report obtained by Itchmo, the results have been certified
by a forensic toxicologist. We have obtained a copy of the toxicology
report. Iams Large Breed does not list rice protein concentrate or wheat
gluten as ingredients.

In response, Iams says they are ?fully confident? that no cyanuric acid or
melamine entered their products. They also defended their ?exceptional
response? to handling customer complaints. When asked if they were testing
for melamine and cyanuric acid after the manufacture of their products, Iams
said that they were ?constantly improving their quality control processes.?

We cannot stress this point enough: This test was performed on a sample from
an opened bag. We do not know if this is an isolated case of contamination
before or after the sale, or if it is widespread.

This information requires verification and we are asking for your help.

Itchmo is asking you to find an unopened 20 lb. bag of Iams Large Breed dry
dog food that matches the lot number: 260608 70574173 F4 US30940 with the
expiration date of 6/26/08.

If you find an unopened bag, please email us at 
tips at itchmo. <mailto:tips%40itchmo.com> com
and we will provide further instructions. If it?s the right bag, we will pay
for the cost of the bag of food, shipping and testing. There will be no cost
to you.

If an unopened bag is found and tested, we will release the results as soon
as they become available regardless of the outcome.

Remembering war dogs

Monument heralds important work canines did in past
conflicts

By
Carma Wadley
Deseret Morning News

Some 4,000 dogs served in the Vietnam War. Their work
was directly responsible for saving an estimated
10,000 American lives. Yet their story is a largely
forgotten part of the war.

Michael Brandy, Deseret Morning News

American Fork veterinarian Alan Cunningham is one of
those who is hoping to change all that. Cunningham
recently erected a memorial to war dogs and their
handlers at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park near Camp
Williams.

"A few years ago, I read about the war dogs and was
both impressed and saddened by their story," he says.
"Fewer than 200 of them ever returned home. Some
325 died in the line of duty, while another
approximately 600 succumbed to tropical disease. But
at the end of the war, the rest were considered
military
equipment and were either euthanized or left behind.
They deserve to be remembered."

The memorial is one of only a handful of such
monuments around the country, most of which are on
military bases. "This is the first one to be placed at
a veterans cemetery, but I think it is a fitting place
for it," says Cunningham.

It is a simple monument, with a bronze dog sitting on
a sandstone slab. Cunningham purposely did not want to
show the dog in halter. "I wanted it to be
a dog, not to be working." Because, he says, as
important as the work was that the dogs did, when they
were not working, they offered companionship and
love that were also important to the soldiers.

The monument was installed in April, without ceremony
or dedication. "I just wanted it to be a quiet, humble
thing," says Cunningham, "but I hope, with
Memorial Day coming up, some people will want to come
visit it."

He pretty much footed the cost of the memorial
himself. "I tried to get donations, but not many
people were interested. I did get some from the Bank
of
American Fork. But I decided I could just work more
and get the money myself."

That speaks to why the memorial is important and
needed, he says: Too many people don't realize what
war dogs have done. "When I tell people about the war
dogs, some are amazed, but some say, 'So what?' But
you think that if those other 10,000 soldiers had died
in Vietnam, maybe one of them would have been
a person that has had an impact on your life, or my
life, directly or indirectly."

There is now a push to have a national memorial to war
dogs placed in Washington, D.C. Increased interest in
the story of the war dogs has grown out of
a 1999 documentary, which first aired on the Discovery
Channel but has aired worldwide since, says Mo
Johnson, who works with the War Dog Memorial Fund,
which is raising money for the effort. The film tells
"the heart-wrenching story of the bond between the
dogs and their handlers and the great lengths
they look to save one another from the tragedies of
war," she says. (The documentary is free with a
donation of $10 or more to the fund. For more
information,
visit
www.war-dogs.com.)

"I believe the dogs should be recognized. Their
stories are stories of love. I've met many of the
handlers, and they all say that if it wasn't for their
dogs, they wouldn't be here today," she said, in a
telephone interview from their California
headquarters.

There is also a push to have the dogs honored on a
commemorative postage stamp. Two requests have been
denied, but a third one is going on now. "It's pretty
sad that cartoon dogs can have a stamp, but we can't
get one for real-life service dogs," said Johnson.

Decades later, handlers who served in Vietnam still
break down and cry as they tell of their dogs'
heroics, says Cunningham. "The courageous canine
soldiers
worked for food, water and the love and companionship
of their handlers. They never gave up on the
battlefield."

Dogs were used extensively in Vietnam, but that is not
the only time they have been called into action.
They've been used for centuries, says Cunningham,
and certainly in every modern war, including the
current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Military Working Dogs, as they were called then, were
used in World War I but became increasingly important
in World War II. Shortly after the attack on
Pearl Harbor, the American Kennel Club and a new group
calling itself Dogs for Defense appealed to dog owners

Deseret Morning News archives

Starting in March 1942, the Quartermaster Corps
handled the Army's so-called K-9 Corps and undertook
the necessary training.

By 1945, they had trained approximately 10,000 war
dogs for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
Fifteen war dog platoons served overseas in World
War II; seven in Europe and eight in the Pacific.

In 1951, responsibility for the dogs was shifted to
the Military Police Corps, as they continued to serve
in conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and
other military operations.

The most commonly used dog breeds were German
shepherds and Doberman pinschers. Later on, Labradors
began to replace the Doberman.

These dogs were able to detect the presence of the
enemy at distances up to 1,000 yards - long before the
soldiers could see them. When a scout dog detected
the enemy, it would stiffen its body, raise its
hackles, prick its ears and hold its tail rigid.

"They could detect the wind blowing over a trip wire
or smell underwater saboteurs," says Cunningham. There
are also documented cases of dogs lying on their
handlers to protect them and of dragging wounded
soldiers to safety.

"They were so effective in Vietnam that the Viet Cong
placed a bounty of $20,000 on the heads of dogs and
their handlers," he says.

In recent years, the military has changed its policy
on the dogs. They are no longer considered
"equipment," and when their tour of duty is done, they
are
brought back. "They may be assigned to help with
rehabilitation," says Cunningham. "They are very
effective at that, as well."

War dogs, he says, "have been forgotten service
animals. They often get overlooked. But like Seeing
Eye dogs and police dogs, they all have such an
important
place."

His memorial honors them all, he says. "I hope one day
I can look back and say I left something good on the
face of the Earth. I hope that here, at least,
these dogs will be immortal."

I wonder which program Mayor is from?

A sense of style

Nearly blind interior designer shares his command of
color, shape, texture

Sue Doerfler
The Arizona Republic

When Robert Kizere meets with clients, he brings along
something other interior designers don't have: a
Seeing Eye dog.

Three years ago, a tennis ball-size tumor left Kizere
with optic nerve damage and 2 degrees of sight, the
equivalent of looking through a piece of construction
paper that has a pinhole poked into it. Normal-seeing
persons have 180 degrees of sight.

"I call it my tennis-ball accident," said Kizere with
his characteristic sense of humor. "It's an easier
icebreaker than saying a brain tumor."

Despite his limited sight, the designer can
distinguish color, shape and texture, the elements of
good design.

"Color has always been really important to me," said
Kizere, who recently started his own business, Robert
Vaughn Designs, after working for Norwalk Furniture
& Design in Tempe. (Vaughn is Kizere's middle name.)
"If you're a shade off, it doesn't look right."

Kizere, who has more than 30 years of interior design
experience, works out of his Tempe house, but his
briefcase really serves as his home office. He spends
a lot of time traveling across the United States to
help clients, many of whom are referrals or repeat
customers. Around town, he takes buses to clients'
homes.

"I have my laptop, a digital camera and my dog and I
can do anything," he said.

His Seeing Eye dog, a golden retriever named Mayor, is
like a mini marketing manager for Kizere.

"People just love him. They start talking to me just
because of him. (Once they do,) I've got them hook,
line and sinker," he said, referring to how he
often attracts clients. Because of Mayor, he met one
client while on an airplane and two others at
restaurants.

Norwalk co-owner Mike Schoor said that Kizere's
abilities stand on their own.

"He's a great natural salesman," he said. "He is an
absolute master in networking his way to become his
client's single source for everyone in his home.
He is very prideful of being self-sufficient and
working toward ultimately satisfying his clients
without depending on anyone in that process."

It took three buses recently to get to client Janet
Drummond's Tempe patio home, where Kizere was to help
flesh out ideas for a bathroom and den. He already
had helped coordinate the decor of her living room and
dining area by making the small rooms feel larger. In
the dining area, he placed two mirrors on
top of each other, adding depth to the space. Built-in
plant shelves, lined with decorative pottery, draw
your eyes upward. In the living room, which features
a baby grand piano, Kizere artistically placed a
sectional sofa and lounge chair so the space wouldn't
seem so small.

"I always thought I was pretty good at decorating, but
Robert opened my mind," said Drummond, who has been
pleased with her home's transformation. "I'm
impressed with his amazing intuition. He can feel a
room."

Nevertheless, being blind and a designer hasn't been
easy.

Because of his limited vision, it takes him longer to
do the work he needs for each project, he said. That
he is good at math has helped.

"I'm a walking calculator," he said. He uses adaptive
equipment to read and often will ask a client to be
his assistant in tasks such as measuring.

"I want to preserve my eyesight for color, shape and
texture," he said.

Kizere's health problems began as headaches, which he
thought were due to sinus pressure. When the headaches
turned into dizziness, he went to the hospital,
where he was told he had a slow-growing tumor the size
of a golf ball. Surgery was scheduled for a month
later. In that time, the tumor enlarged to the
size of a tennis ball.

Before the operation, Kizere, now 55, had retired.
After the surgery, however, he had second thoughts
about not working.

He took college design classes, just to see if he was
able to do the work.

"I had to prove to myself," he said. He also wanted to
keep his brain active.

Now, when something goes wrong or doesn't look right,
he has an excuse, he said, laughing. "I say, 'Oh,
darn, that's what happens when they take the part
of your brain that works.'

"That's probably the best thing I have going for me:
my attitude."

Hello CAGDU Community,

It is beautiful! right on the beach! It is in a small park, so there is a lot of grass around!It also has a nice kitchen and tables and chairs. I need to ask about a microphone, so I can sing :Walking My Dog Name Marly", just kidding.   
* The Cosco food letter committee has already send their letter! We are still planning on coffee, muffins, in the morning and pizza and salad for lunch. 
* I already have my gift donation letters ready to get out this week, so we can have door prices!
* I have already contacted  the North County Transit Disability Coordinator,  to speak and she has agreed!.
* Peter is trying to get a gorgeous tanned lifeguard to come and speak. Sorry ladies he is not a door price.
* Robert is ready and waiting to get the mailing list ready and the posting on the list serve done, but guess what? We need to come up with a title, I want your  input!

PLEASE ONCE AGAIN SEND YOUR TWO CENTS IN! I want titles suggestions and  any ideas you may have for our announcement. Don't forget we are planning on ending with a very cool walk on the  beach (the board walk)! . I plan to have this ready for Robert by Monday so hurry!     

Thanks for all your help,

Subject: [Cagdu] Fare well to Cinamon
Message-ID: <008401c7a3d2$e6a2ff50$fbc86f44@user1b3ecca35d>

Hello beach family and friends,
This is my second attempt  of sending this e-mail to you all. May 26, 2007-- 
 I have to share my sad news. Today I had to put my sweet baby cat,  Cinomon to sleep. She became very ill yesterday and stopped eating, so I rushed her to the vet today. The diagnoses was terminal, she had jondus in the last stages. The vet said there was no cure, she was already shutting down by not eating and she would just die in a few days. Rather than finding her dead, I decided to set her free of her illness. She was put to sleep at 3:45 pm. Marly and I are having a hard time without her tonight. Cinamon was wonderful, loving and Marly's littlest  sister.  All of you who met her and had the opportunity to cuddle her I know agree. 

In memory of CC,
Love,
JC and M
