Brags

Dan is the former Chairman of the Department of Communication & Theater Department. His 4 Ridgebacks are very proud of him !!
Health
Sun Safety
Play it safe in the surf with these beach tips.
Dogs get sunburns too, so have a shady spot and plenty of water available. Cover fair dogs with sunscreen on their ears and nose. Dogs that drink sea water can get sick, and salt water should be rinsed off after swimming to avoid irritation. If your dog is out of shape, running on sand may be too strenuous, so take frequent breaks to rest. Make sure you don't spend too much time on hot sand, which could injure your dog's paws.
Reading Assistant
Pets can help children improve their reading skills.
The R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs) program pairs specially trained therapy dogs and children who are struggling with reading skills. The dog serves as an audience as the child reads aloud. Dog owners volunteer to take their trained dogs to schools and libraries throughout the U.S. and Canada. Contact your local R.E.A.D. organization to participate .
Pet Parking
Even if the weather is cool, it's still not safe to leave your pet in the car.
As long as the sun is shining, a car acts like a greenhouse, with the temperature rising to dangerous levels within a half hour. Cracking a window or running the air conditioning before parking only delays the rise in temperature for a matter of minutes. Never leave your dog unattended in the car for more than a few minutes, and always carry water for your dog to drink.

Dog discrimination could end in Ohio! |

Take Action for Animals Today!
|
To the citizens of the State of Ohio; The Ohio House overwhelmingly passed an amendment to current law that will remove the “vicious” label from “pit bull breeds.” The House voted on bill, HB55 in late May which increases the penalties for animal cruelty. Included in this vote was an amendment to remove “a breed that is commonly known as a pit bull dog” from the definition of a “vicious dog.” Matt Szollosi, (D., Oregon) is the House Representative who brought the amendment to the House floor. “I’m offering this amendment to ensure that we’re not capturing, impounding and terminating an animal simply based on its breed,” said Szollosi in the Toledo Blade. “It is unjust to punish owners by taking their pet even if they have raised a well-behaved, family friendly dog,” Szollosi continued. The amendment was passed by a vote of 86-10, and went unchallenged when brought to the House floor. The bill has been passed on to the Senate, where it has been referred to the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice. Currently, Ohio is the only state that discriminates against a breed of dog. Twelve states outlaw canine profiling. Thank you for taking action for animals! ~ Sent in by Jamie Thompson |
