Dogs in the military serving our country.

Dog in the military serving our country. Military dogs giving their lives to protect our soldiers from bombs.
UN RECOGNIZE FOR THEIR HEROISM AND COURAGE IN THE LINE OF DUTY.



Sparky is a robic dog that helps teach children about fire safety but they use a real dog for bomb detection. Which i feel should be a robic dog to detect these bombs.
This would eliminate putting any dogs in danger of being blowup by a bomb.
Why does a live dog need to be put into danger? When a robic device could be used in their place.
The need less death of these dogs is senseless. When there are other decoyes that could easily replace them. something doesn't seem right.
There are metal detectors which can find metal objects embedded in the ground. Than here is another gadget that could be used to detect bombs.
Animals sense less deaths caused by humans lack of concern.
Let's get realistic. Even a remote control device could be used to debtianate these bombs even more quickly. It would save allot more lives. When traveling on a convoyed. These
devices could also detect hidden bombs before the vehicle would be in danger.
The military should have these robics available and in use. There is no reason for any soldier or animal being hurt.
these devices have already been invented because they are used in demonstrates for these children on fire prevention safety.
this is what Sparky is capable of preforming maneuvers.
He operates on batteries. He can flash lights,sound siren,squirt water, play songs, dance, and wink at you. He can even talk with a hidden microphone and system that allows distant of 100 feet to speak for Sparky. This dog is remote controlled cost $9,000. but well worth the money.
There are less expensive robots that cost far less money to operator and be control to detect or detonate the bombs or devices.

The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs
Lisa Rogak’s The Dogs of War sheds light on why the dog, more than any other animal, holds a special place in our history, and our hearts.

It's inspiring and beautifully written."

Gradually get your pet accustomed to spending time in the carrier.

Place your pet in a secure place either in the house or placed in the carrier.
Make sure movers know the room is off limits. Place a notice on the door just in case they forget. You could place the pet in a special room during the time of the move.
Be prepared for your car trip. Cats especial should be in a carrier because most cats do not like ridding in a car. Have a harness on your pet during the trip.
Never leave your pet unattended or alone in the car when

Doggie bags and shovels.

Doggie bags and shovels. Pickup your invisible doggie bags and shovel. How many pet owners
taking their dogs for a walk have these invisible bags and shovels?

In our city of note we have doggie bags that are available for free with a Dumpster near by located along the lake Michigan beach. This was to help control waste that has been left on the sidewalks and grass areas surrounding the Sandie beach. In an efforts to help illuminate the problem.

Do you think the pet owners have taken the hint to use these free doggie baggies? Their still using those invisible doggie bags and shovels. I've been wondering were you can purchase them? Because i sure would like to know..

Some Pets owners claim its their dog who is naughty, but i think
if they don't bother to pickup after their pets. They just might
be a naught pet owner. i know they wouldn't want their pet waste left in their yards maybe that is why some of them take their pets for walks. Free dumpster and baggies didn't work for these pet owners. So their doing it deliberate.
I know there are a lot of good pet owners but when a city provides for cleaning up after their dogs and still it doesn't work. Than these owners are just not nice to do it on other people property and that includes our parks and Beach's.

If you have a friend who does this maybe for a Christmas buy either their dog baggies and a shovel. You never know they just might take the hint and use it.
After all they wouldn't like others leaving a messes in their yards, would they....
Maybe signs would work..
Help keep our public places clean for those who use them which includes their pet.
Thanks for reading.
Best!

Cleaning up after your dogs is important.

Cleaning up after your dogs is important. When taking your dog for
a walk, it is important for you as their owner to clean up after them.
You could before taking a walk let them go in your own yard and than
they will be less likely to need cleaning up after.
But it is still a good idea to take a scooper and bag along just in case.
You wouldn't want other pet owners to leave a mess in your yard or sidewalk. let's be honesty.
Common sense would tell anyone its just the neighborly thing to do.
The reason I mention this issue because our cities public works provide
bags and receptacle's for dog deposits.
People in the area still found that they were not making use of these.
The problem still persists. They still are not cleaning up after their pets.
Let's use those booper scoopers.

Pets keep out of toilet water.

Pets keep out of toilet water. Your pets shouldn't drink contaminated water from your toilets.
It's up to you to keep the lid down or don't let them into the bath room by shutting the door.
Most pets are attracted to water because as stated by pet care expert Gina Spadafori, they
think its a wonderful drinking fountain that you put in for them.
Twice a day put fresh water in their dish or buy a pet fountain that will automatically refill their water dish. You can find them at any pet store but call first to make sure they have them.
Animal instinct attracts them to fresh water sources.

Gina Spadafori and veterinrian Marty Becker have co authored pet books.

Older horses are sent out to. Do you honestly think horses live out their old age.
Most are sent away alright but not to a horse farm. I've left this to thought.
Nor are they sent to a special farm to live out the rest of their lives.

Horses can be taught a new profession. Shiloh is one of these horses that was rescued from
being destroyed. She still has a lot of love and ability to be retrained as a special carriage horse.

Pets need protection from frigid weather.

Pets need protection from frigid weather. Pets need extra attention during cold winter months.
Animals can suffer from hypothermia, frostbite and other injuries that are caused by the frigid weather conditions.
Harsh cold weather conditions can weaken your pets immune system. that will leave them more susceptible to illnesses.

Here are some tips for cold weather protecting your animal when outdoors.

Pets kept outdoors need to be feed good quality dog food. This will help produce body heat.
Animals need a dog house or shelter outside. It should be bid enough for your pet to stand, sit and lay down comfortable. It shouldn't be to big of a house that its
hard for your pet to keep warm. Installing the house is another good idea.
Put straw or marsh hay both are good to put onto the floor. Put the house on brick to get it off the ground.
Should use a heater for the water bowl. Fill the bowl twice a day but do not let your
pet depend on snow or ice for his water this can be unhealthy.
Pets need their paws protected from salt which can burn or ice that could lead to cuts. Either put on booties or clean their paws off.
Short haired dogs need to wear sweaters or some kind of coat while out side in the cold.
It's a good idea to either honk the horn or bang on the car to alert any animals that
might have taken shelter under your car. You could even look under it if you don't want the neighbors to complain.

What ever the weather either hot out or cold weather do not leave your pet inside the car alone especially when its freezing.

These are just tips to take into consideration when cold weather comes and what you should be prepared to provide for your loving pet protection.
Hope I've provided you with some helpful advice on caring for your pets.
