"They eat every bite, every day!"

Queensland Heelers Eat CANIDAE2/9/2009 - Here is a picture of my 5 Queensland Heelers, who are not photogenic! Their ages are 16, 3 are 9 and one is 10. I have had them on CANIDAE PLATINUM for over 2 years. They are doing very well on it with nice healthy coats, healthy stools and in general, over all good health, including the 16 yr old. They eat every bite, every day. I highly recommend this product to anyone owning dogs and feel the company is trustworthy and they stand behind their product 100%. Keep up the good work, CANIDAE!

ACD Therapy Dog Retires

Retiring with honor

Published:

Beloved local therapy dog hangs up leash

By Stephen Woodward/Staff Writer

EWING, Va. — When Pam Phillips talks about her dog Scout, it’s like she is talking about an old friend. While he may not be human, they’ve been through a lot together.

Phillips began training Scout when she found out he could do tricks. “The tricks just started when we were playing around in the yard... Her first trick was roll over,” said Phillips, who worked in Circulation at the Middlesboro Daily News for 10 years. “If you teach the basics, you can go right into tricks. She just picked up on things so quick. Smartest dog I’ve ever had.”

And with practice and training from Phillips, Scout soon entered show business.

“She always worked the crowd and performed tricks,” said Phillips. Together, she would take Scout to parades, parks, libraries, and schools. The dog could jump through a hoop, balance a cookie on her nose and catch it on command, and play dead after being shot. A lot of Scout’s best shows took place at Wilderness Road State Park, near where Phillips lives in Ewing, Va. Scout would dress up in a fringed jacket with a coon skin hat and do his best Daniel Boone impersonation. The number of tricks she could do was only beaten by the smiles of people she entertained.

Later, Phillips found out about a dog therapy program called Therapy Dog International. “She passed her test and we started doing therapy from there,” she said. “Been doing it ever since.”

Phillips explained the positive effects that Scout had on people as a therapy dog. “A lot of people that don’t talk or move hardly will begin to stroke a dog,” said Phillips. “It lowers blood pressure, and helps their hands and arms. I take a brush and ask them if they want to brush a dog. It’s a therapeutic thing for people.”

As a certified therapy dog, Scout has also helped children to read. “You can take a therapy dog to children who have trouble reading,” said Phillips. “They’ll read to a dog. It helps their skills [because] the dog doesn’t criticize. It gives them confidence and develops their reading skills.”

Phillips’s love for dogs began as far back as she could remember, and even before she could. “My first word was dog,” said Phillips, who was born in Hazard, Ky. “I started working with dogs at 21. When I was a kid, I would sneak and get on my bicycle and go downtown to the Armory and watch them train dogs. Then I’d come back home. I had a mutt, and work with her.” Phillips has trained dogs for over 12 years.

Phillips and Scout grew together even more when they were both diagnosed with cancer — and both survived. Now, they walk together in Relay For Life events.

But now the 10-year-old dog is beginning to show her age. Scout was recently diagnosed with Progressive Retina Atrophy, an eye problem that has made the dog go blind.

“Of course, there’s a lot of her tricks that she can’t do anymore,” said Phillips. “She can’t see the hoop anymore or my leg to jump over. It just went so fast.”

Physically, Scout is in good health, said Phillips. But now, because of the blindness, Scout is retiring after 8 and 1/2 years of therapy work. For the people who have loved Scout, and especially for Phillips, that’s not going to be easy.

“She’s very close, like my shadow,” said Phillips. “It’s going to be hard when the time comes. I think it’s for her best interest that I retire her.

Newspaper article from the Middlesboro, KY newspaper.
The dog in the article was bred by me 10 years ago. She is a Boomer (CH.
Briarmoor's Bugle Boy) x Cheala (CH. Chelsea's Chaela of Van Haley, CD, RN, CGC, OA, NAP, OAJ, OJP) puppy. This lady has really given her a great loving
home. Wouldn't it be nice if all our puppy homes were this great? I still have
her mother who is almost 15 years old now and beginning to slow down but
still kickin'. I thought some of you might enjoy reading the article.

Thank you first of all to everyone that sent names of animal

communicators, Caramee is working with one now in an attempt to locate

"Hilda". Hilda is missing from Saint Joe, Indiana, she has been

missing for 24 hours, according to the animal communicator she is

moving east and is already more than 2 miles from her home. She was

taken to Columbus, OH by Julie last Friday so she may be heading in

that direction.

Hilda is wearing a red nylon collar, she is

microchipped, she is a blue female with a lot of tan, she is very sweet

and would likely crawl in your lap if you called her to you. Caramee

has done all the right things to locate her regarding flyers, phone

calls, etc., now we just need a sighting.


If you have any information please email me or call me at 704-753-2271,

704-904-8129 or Caramee at 260-337-5741 or 260-705-1892

Norm Herbel Crosses the Bridge

NORMAN LEO HERBEL, son of Carl and Elsie (Kaufman) Herbel, was born December 7, 1936 at Lucas, Kansas. He departed this life on Sunday morning August 10, 2008 at the Woodward Regional Hospital at Woodward, Oklahoma. He was 71 years of age.

Norman was raised and educated at Lucas, Kansas and graduated from Lucas High School with the class of 1955. He furthered his education at the University of Kansas in Lawrence where he graduated with a Bachelor degree in Physical Education.

He was united in marriage to Carolyn Ann Heinze on June 6, 1956 at Lucas, Kansas. They had two children: Carmen and Kent. Norman taught physical education classes in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania school system. Norman and Carolyn became dog enthusiasts, especially with the Lhasa Apso breed and German Shepherd Dogs. Norman and Carolyn spent their lifetime enjoying the German Shepherd Dogs. Later in life, “Charm”, a special German Shepherd, BIS, BISS, A.O.E., Am Sel. Ex. Can Sel. Am/Can Ch. Kaleef’s Silver Charm of Tabu, HT, ROM, was the light of his life. Together he and Carolyn wrote three books on the Lhasa Apso dogs. He traveled all over showing and judging all breeds of dogs and was known as a multi-group judge. He was a world renowned dog judge. Before retiring to Oklahoma, Norman and his brother Clayton bred L1 registered Hereford Cattle. The breeding program they developed has influenced Hereford Cattle all over the United States. Recently
he was instrumental in helping Mark and Lacey Herbel Syzemore and Kent and Lori Herbel begin an exciting brood mare band of registered Quarter Horses. He was also a lover of the land and in 1987, they purchased a ranch in southern Dewey County in the Putnam community where they moved and have lived since. He was a devout Christian man who loved his family dearly.

He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Herbel of the home; one daughter: Carmen Spears and husband Max of Putnam; one son: Kent Herbel and wife Lori of Putnam; two granddaughters: Lacey Herbel-Syzemore and husband Mark of Putnam and Kelli Herbel and her fiancé Waylon Bausch both of Hoyt, Kansas; one great grandson: Warren Syzemore; dear friends: Nancy and Jim Plunkett of Greencastle, PA; his mother-in-law: Anna Marie Heinze of Putnam; one sister: Barbara Reeves of Russell, KS and one brother: Clayton Herbel and wife Kathi of Lucas, KS. He is also survived by many other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and two grandsons: Matthew Spears and Clay Herbel.

A private family service will be held at a later date.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorials and cards be sent to Carolyn Herbel at Rt. 1, Box 50-Putnam, OK 73659.  Service arrangements are under the direction of the Redinger Funeral Home in Seiling.

Erika Werne, Director of Canine Education, Communications, and Club
Relations for the AKC Canine Health Foundation, welcomes Dr. Sarah Stone of the Ohio
State University to this edition of Genome Barks. One of the most common
health issues facing both humans and their canine companions is cataracts. While
cataract surgery is the most frequently performed intraocular operation,
there is a nearly 100% incidence of capsular scarring post-surgery in dogs. Dr.
Stone's research, funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation, focuses on devel
oping new techniques to decrease this occurrence, and in turn improving the
lives of dogs. At the Ohio State Breeders' Symposium jointly sponsored by
the _American Kennel Club _ (http://akc.org/) and the _AKC Canine Health
Foundation_ (http://www.akcchf.org/) , Dr. Stone discusses her research and the
progress made thus far.

We would appreciate Australian Cattle Dog Club of America’s support of our show by including a mention during your regular meetings, in your newsletters and on your http://www.acdca.org .

We would, of course, reciprocate by acknowledging your participation during our regular meetings, in our newsletters and on www.gmkc.org .

It is our goal to dramatically increase every breed count in our show! If there is anything I can do to further facilitate your membership’s participation, please feel free to let me know at your nearest convenience.

Respectfully-

Robert Tarkington
