**Update: This puppy is no longer available, she’s found a great home!
We may have a litter this winter, for early spring puppy placement.

We have a 7 month old salt and pepper female available. Please email Beth at [email protected] if you are interested!

We have a nest of barn swallows and the babies are very close to fledging. Parents are not happy the dogs are out this evening. The rest of the crew is on the porch with me and not engaging.

She’s been the best dog on this long road trip. No room for a crate so a seatbelt harness it is. 2400 + miles roundtrip.

Information

Some interesting and important findings related to grape and raisin toxicity in dogs - tartaric acid! We all know not to feed grapes or raisins to dogs, but I guess this means, no snickerdoodles either.

Could't link to the full article (you have to be a CIVT member) but here's the jist.

Toxicity of Cream of Tartar and Tamarinds in Dogs - Potential Links to Grapes and Raisins

"A team of researchers from the USA recently studied the exposure history, clinical signs, treatment, and diagnostic findings in four dogs following ingestion of tamarinds, and in two dogs following ingestion of cream of tartar. They investigated tartaric acid, the common denominator, as the proposed toxic principle in tamarinds and grapes.

Reports in which dogs developed acute kidney injury following ingestion of cream of tartar or tamarinds were identified from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center electronic database. In these cases, decontamination was not performed, and treatments were delayed. Despite IV fluids and symptomatic and supportive care, two of the dogs became anuric and one became oliguric. Four dogs were euthanized, and the outcome is unknown for two of the dogs. Necropsies were performed on three of the dogs. Clinical signs, laboratory findings, and histopathologic lesions were similar to those reported in grape and raisin toxicosis.

The researchers believe that acute kidney injury may develop following ingestion of cream of tartar or tamarinds in dogs. Connecting these reports with findings in grape and raisin toxicosis and the sensitivity to tartaric acid in dogs, tartaric acid is identified as the likely toxic component in grapes and tamarinds. Awareness of the potential toxicity of cream of tartar and tamarinds in dogs will allow for prompt decontamination and proactive IV fluid diuresis, which could lead to improved outcomes. In addition, recognizing tartaric acid as the potential nephrotoxic component in grapes and raisins may enable advancements in research, diagnostics, and treatment of grape and raisin toxicosis in dogs."

PSA if a Miniature Schnauzer has blue eyes, IT’S NOT A MINIATURE SCHNAUZER.

**Update: I have one puppy who can pull this out of the bowl, don't know how as it's hard for me to pull up LOL. However he doesn't do it until the kibble is gone so its still serving its purpose.

If you up are looking for a puzzle bowl to slow down gulping dogs I really like this one. It’s made of food grade silicone which I think is gentler on teeth and gums. It can be cut down to fit the size of your dogs bowl. So far it’s a 👍 for me. FYI spiral shape does not spin.

Like letting your kids be bratty, disrespectful hellions the majority of the time, and then heading out for that fancy dinner and hoping the stern pre-dinner convo, and the during dinner empty posturing will hold back the tsunami of bad behavior you’ve given the green light to for years.

Haha, good luck with that, and good luck allowing your dog to be the equivalent canine hellion the majority of the time, and then hoping that stern pre-walk convo and the on the walk “Leave it!” will hold back the tsunami of nonsense you’ve trained your dog to engage in.

Do the hard work when you “don’t need it”, so the benefits are there when you do need it.

A great video on why agility dogs in particular but all dogs in general can enjoy great health benefits by their owners keeping their nails trimmed short! Dr. Leslie Woodcock, a specialize of performance dog's rehabilitation shares amazing insights.

So true.

Every moment you spend with your dog is training. If they are asleep at your feet it is training. If they move with you towards the door it’s training. If they are watching you prepare their meal it’s training.
It’s ALL training!
Try to be cognizant of living in the moment with the dog.
There is always learning taking place.
I assure you that the dog knows this but do you?
Are you being aware of the lessons you teach each and every day both intentionally and unintentionally?

Be intentional and slow down and enjoy the moment.
