Queen of Mean leaves billions to dog care
Queen of Mean leaves billions to dog care
Hotel maven Leona Helmsley, who died last year after a life spent amassing a fortune in the hotel business, may have left somewhere between $5 and $8 billion to dogs.
Helmsley definitely left her Maltese, Trouble, a $12 million trust fund. The dog reportedly blew it all on a six-dollar box of Milkbones, barking a message that the cashier interpreted as "Keep the change."*
There's some question as to the legality of the statement Helmsley left behind instructing that these billions be used to care for needy dogs, but if it happens, it'll provide more funding for dog care than all the other animal charities in the country, combined. (Or so this article claims.) Has Helmsley, nicknamed the Queen of Mean, redeemed her reputation with one fell swoop? You decide.
*I made up the Milkbone thing. But the $12 million trust fund is true.
Adoption and Rescue
Adoption and Rescue
Fans of the Shiba Inu puppy webcam are preparing to mourn the departure of several of the adorable little squirts. However, San Francisco-based fans are in luck. The San Francisco SPCA has unveiled their annual holiday windows at the Macy's store downtown. Now the sidewalks are crowded 24/7 with shoppers gaping at the puppies and kittens playing in their (separate) windows, in holiday-themed worlds created just for them.
The windows are part of an annual adoption push, and in the past the SPCA has had huge success in adopting out that doggy in the window, along with his furry little friends.
Grooming for Dogs in Liverpool
Grooming for Dogs in Liverpool Reasons for grooming
Grooming is an important part of dog care. Depending on the breed, age and health of the dog, grooming may be a daily activity. Many breeds require significantly less grooming than this, but regular grooming helps to ensure the dog is healthy and comfortable.
The main reasons for daily grooming include:
* improved health of the skin and coat
* decreases the chance of various health problems such as thrush, scratches, and other skin problems
* cleans the dog
* allows the groomer to check the dog's health, such as looking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or a change in temperament (such as depression) which could indicate the dog is sick
* helps to form a relationship between dog and owner
Tools used for grooming
Various types of currycombs
Curry or Currycomb: A tool made of rubber or plastic with short "teeth" The tool is rubbed or "curried" in a circular motion to loosen dirt, hair, and other detritus, plus stimulate the skin to produce natural oils. Metal currycombs are also available, but are designed for use on show cattle.
Shedding blade: for grooming certain types of harsh coats, a metal shedding blade with short, dull teeth is used to remove dead hair. The shedding blade is not used to cut the hair.
Scissors and Clippers: used to remove hair on certain types of coats or in sensitive areas.
Bathing
Dogs can be bathed by being wet down with a garden hose, using a hand-held shower head, or with water from a bucket. Many types of shampoos and conditioners formulated for dogs are available. Most dogs do not require frequent bathing: too-frequent shampooing can strip the hair coat of natural oils and cause it to dry out.
Hair removal
The coats of many breeds require trimming, cutting, or other attention. Styles vary by breed and discipline. While some hair removal has its origins in practical purposes, much is based on the taste of the owner, whether or not the dog will be shown, and what work the dog does.
Stripping
Stripping or hand-stripping is the process of pulling the dead hair out of the coat of a non-shedding dog, either by using a stripping knife or the fingers. A hard, wiry coat has a cycle where it starts growing and then sheds as it reaches maximum length. Hand-stripping coordinates the shedding and makes room for a new coat to grow.
