Speaker 7 (03:58):
Welcome back to the Pan Pooch on Tetlife Radio.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
You know, Christine, as I was coming in today to record,
I was thinking about the window clings decals you have
on the outside of your home, several windows that in
case of an emergency, your pets need to be rescued.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, I got those not long ago. There's a lot
of different companies that sell them. The ones I like
the best were by a Pet Safety Alert Incorporated. You
can go to their website at pet alertdcal dot com.
And it's really nice because in case there's an emergency
when you're not at your home, you can put one
(04:37):
on your windows and it basically just tells the like
fire and rescue, how many pets you have inside your home,
so that way they know how many to look for.
You can save the number of dogs, cats, birds or
other animals and it will you know, it could save
your animals life and also could save the fire or
you know, rescues life if they're if they're like, say
(04:59):
the house burned, and they're going and trying to find
how many you have, and you know, if they've found
four and and you say that you have for they
know they don't have to look any longer. So that's
something I recommend. And I think you could even like
write in to the window cling like an emergency number
if you want, which is a good idea because if
(05:22):
you aren't home and you need someone else to be
contacted or maybe your cell phone or something like that.
And so that's that's something I suggest to everybody.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
I saw those right away. They're bright red and says
pet alert.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, you know, kind of going along with that one
of the things that I've done. You know, some people
could say maybe I'm just you know, being over prepared,
but either way, I like it. I have a list.
My list includes a lot of different information about my dogs.
If something where to happen to say me and my
husband at the same time, you know, a car accident, whatever,
(05:58):
I want to make sure that my dogs can make
for our family does don't live close to us, so
I want to make sure that I have either one
I have information for the family to get here and
somebody that's closer that can help us out. But my
list includes, you know a lot of different things, like
all about their meals. You know, how much to feed
(06:20):
them and win maybe what kind of food not to
give them, any kind of treats that they can have
dangerous foods because some you know, some people that might
be having to take care of our dogs and a
pinch might not know that, you know, caffeine and chocolate
and garlic, and onions and stuff like that are harmful
for a dog. I talk about like the routine basically,
(06:41):
you know what they're used to as far as you know,
going to the bathroom or being home alone. You know,
I just remind them. I personally do not suggest people
let their dogs outside of a fenced in yard without
a leash on. You know, everybody's dog is going to
be different, and they might say, well, my dog good.
You know, it's never gonna you know, run away. But
(07:03):
there's always that case, you know, like something grabs their
attention to squirrel or whatever. I actually have a neighbor
who you know, said their dogs would never like run
away from them, and not long after we moved in,
it ran across the street and got hit by a car.
So I mean that's just you know, one example, but
I've I've heard many people say they've never ran before.
(07:27):
So that's another safety thing I suggest is always make
sure your dog is either in a fence in yard
or is always on a leash. Some of the things
that I include on my list in case of an
emergency or any medications that they're taking, how often, which dogs,
where to find the medicine. I also include on their
(07:48):
all of the identifications. You know, if you're using a microchip,
what's the microchip number, where are they registered through? How
do you contact that company if you have any like
just I also use what's called an id tag dot com.
It is basically it looks like a little charm, but
(08:09):
on the back of it has an ID number and
I register with id tag dot com. And if the
dogs are ever lost, if somebody that finds them doesn't
realize they have a microchip, that id tag is a
you know, they can look at the back of it
and say, oh, okay, I see I can go to
this website or call this phone number and you know,
(08:31):
find out more information. And one thing good about using
that is is if your dog ever does come missing,
then you can notify the website and they will put
an alert out for you, which is really nice.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It is great.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, let's see another couple of things that you might
want to put on your list. I would put like, say,
for example, your vets information, any like poison control hotline information.
Maybe if they have a daycare that they go to
or a boarding facility, I would put that on there.
If your dog has pet insurants, you might want to
(09:06):
put that information on. So that's just something I recommend
is having a list in case of your own emergency
and to make sure that your dogs are well taken
care of.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
And that note Christine, in case of emergencies, you have
something set up that is great because it's step by step.
I also have something set up called a pet trust.
And I've heard a lot of people talk about the
pet trust and what they should do at the event
that something happens to you or you and your spouse.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
What's going to happen with your dogs.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Mike and I have set up a pet trust, designating
someone to be the trustee. We've set money aside for
the dogs to be taken care of and probably till
the rest of you know, their natural life, and that
if the person the trustee we've named cannot adopt them
or keep them themselves, that they would be adopted together.
(10:00):
They would not be split up because they are used
to being together. And I think it's important and basically
what a pet trust is and you're probably wondering why
do I need a pet trust? It just allows you
to provide care for your pets in the event of
your death or you and your spouse's death. A trust
is different.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
From a will.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
You may not want to leave money directly to a
pet in a last will or a living trust because
the law generally classifies pets as personal property. As such,
pets cannot directly receive money. A pet trust, on the
other hand, allows for money from your estate to be
managed as you direct by a person that you choose
for the purpose of providing long term care for your pets,
(10:42):
or the person that's adopting your dogs out. And I
think it's very important that you give it a lot
of thought, you talk thoroughly with the person that you
want to be the long term caregiver trustee. There's a
lot of good information on creating a pet trust and
things like that at www dot pet trust plus dot com,
(11:05):
p E T T r U S T P l U.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
S dot com some really good information.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
And that was one of the first things Mike did,
when Mike and I did when we had our first dog,
probably six months because we, you know, not having knowing
the children were young and I don't have any natural children,
so we our dogs are our kids.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We wanted to get that taken care of.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, it's a really good idea, and you don't have
to be rich to do that, not at all, because
you just want to make sure your pets are taken
care of. It's not that you have, you know, millions
of dollars and you're trying.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
To leave that exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, very nice. You know, we briefly touched on the
subject of making sure your dogs have identification. You know.
Of course, there's the standard dog tag, the tag I
mentioned micro chipping. I really suggest that you try more
than one method with your dog because attack can come off.
People might not know about the micro chipping, so I
would try several different things. Of course, do your own research.
(12:02):
There are other options out there. There are, you know,
like a dog tattoo. I don't know much information about it,
but something you can look into. There are GPS callers.
If you have a little dog, you might not want
to get a GPS caller because I think the GPS
device on the collar is pretty big. But do Yeah,
but maybe you know, maybe not, Maybe you don't mind
(12:24):
that it's a little bit bigger, or if you have
a bigger dog, you know, it's probably not gonna seem
like too big of a deal. There are a lot
of different GPS callers out there, so I'm sure you
can find one that would be the right size. That's
probably a really good idea because it's probably not gonna
come off as easily. Might be a little bit more expensive,
but hey, you know, finding your dog and keeping them
safe is definitely worth the cost. And the other thing
(12:47):
that I briefly heard a little bit about is basically
like a dog nose print. Yeah, I don't really know
a ton about it. You can find out some more
at dog nosid dot com And basically they say that
your dog's noseprint will never change regardless of the you know,
(13:09):
weather or any kind of precipitation or their age. So
that's something you can maybe look into, just.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Like people's fingerprints.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, that's pretty much what it's supposed to be like.
So yeah, those are some things that I would try
on keeping your pet id and keeping your pet safe.
One thing I really quickly wanted to mention too, is
that with micro chipping, there are probably a lot of
different companies. You can go through two of the major
ones on the market or Home Again. An Avid. I
(13:39):
wanted to point out that with home Again you have
to register every year, yes, and it's really important for
people to know that when I first got Sugar, I
was registered with home again. The time expired and they
never sent me a reminder and she went without having
registration for a while before I realized it. So since
then I've gone with Avid just because you know, I
(14:02):
can always be registered. You pay one time, right if
you move and you have to update your information. It
costs like six bucks. I mean to me, it's worth it.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, I also have three or four I have under
that one microchip.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You have to do it every year.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, so that's something. If you have a dog that's
registered and home again, just please check your records to
make sure that they're current on their registration.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You know, Christine, earlier we talked about the pet decal klings.
In the event of a fire or your pets need
to be rescued, I have found a wonderful product that
I actually have myself and met the owner and proprietor
that made this what it is. It's called the Panic
Line for dogs and in case of emergency. The gist
(14:46):
of the panic line is it allows for multiple dogs
to be removed at one time. I had asked the
owner how she originally started or why she made this
Panic line, and she said that she had an acquaintance.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That was traveling.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
They were in their camp or going from state to state,
and they had eight big dogs. Someone were working dogs,
some were show dogs that kind of thing. Well, while
they were traveling, the camper started on fire, and while
it was burning, they had to go in keep getting
one dog out at a time because they didn't have
the leashes clipped and all that, and they had eight
big dogs they had to take care of. They didn't
(15:23):
have a system to get those dogs all out at once.
The good news is the dogs got out. But this
is why the panic line was invented, and I think
it's a great system.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It basically is a long.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Bright orange webbed leash and it has four different attachments
coming off the lead line, okay, through ring clips and
their bell crow together, so you pull the bell crow
off and they fall. There are additional add ons available
that they make. The reason that she told me they
did four is because they tested it out and four
(15:59):
big dogs could be managed on a ten foot lead line.
So the lead line is ten feet long and it
can easily be tied around a trunk of a tree
that's three feet tire of a car. Telephone pole. And
because it's bright orange, the lead is bright orange, responders
to the fire can see that the dogs are all
(16:19):
secured and then the responders can proceed to help you
as needed, put out the fire, et cetera. This panic
line comes in three sizes small, medium, and large, and
again custom sizes can be made. But it's for multiple dogs.
This is a great product. It comes in its own
little yellow bag. It says Panic Line for Dogs, and
I hang it right by my door that we go
(16:39):
in and out, so that way, whether it's my husband,
Mike or myself, we can grab it, flip it, open,
clip those dogs and go.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
She says.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
It's using grooming slans, vets, offices, kennels, and private homes.
Everybody would benefit from this. So for more information on
the Panic line, go to www. Dot season cat A
l I S season cat O, L l A r
S dot com. That's Calli'scollars dot com and click on
(17:12):
Panic Line for more information. Great safety product.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You know, Vicky, I really like the idea of the
fire line like that. It's definitely a good idea for
multiple dogs, good idea for big pets, an alternative of
something I've been using thankfully we have had at any emergencies.
But just in case is I have like a bag
actually it's the pet Jet center that we've talked about before.
I kind of double it as an emergency bag. And
(17:38):
if there's ever like a fire or some something that
we need to get out of the house, you know,
pretty quickly. We are from one end of the house
and the other end of the house is where the
releases are usually kept. So I usually keep like some
like cheaper ones that can fold down pretty you know,
tightly into the bag to put on them in case
we need to get out quickly. I also have like
(17:59):
a first aid kid in there. I've got like some
water in case, you know, again you have to get
out quickly and you need something with you know, for
the dogs. And we also have some other stuff it use,
like a carabiner in case you want to put the
leashes all. You know, I have small dogs, So if
I want to put the leashes in you know, somewhere
outside maybe like the neighbor's deck or something, you can
(18:21):
put the carabiner around a pool or whatever you know
that you need to do in a quick hurry. So
that's some stuff that people might want to think about.
I know, in the first aid kit you have some
of the stuff that you recommend. Would be like, guys.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
I've got the hydrogen peroxide.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
I've got a sterile eye wash, an instant cold compress.
I have a small thin nylon lead in case I
need it. I got I have first aid antiseptic and
burn cream.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
You know the wet.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Wipes, antiseptic wet wipes. I've got a digital thermometer, latex gloves, tweezers,
and scissors if I need to cut the gau And
then I have a little information packet just the vetinaries,
numbers in here, the emergency VET by me, and a
little information the CPR ABC's what if you know a
(19:12):
dog ass heat stroke, dehydration, what are you supposed to do?
What about drowning, burns, bleeding, choking, those kind of things.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
It's just right there. Everything's right in this little box.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's a good idea. That sounds pretty similar to what
I've got for my first ake kit for the dogs.
I also have some like diarrhea medicine for the dogs
in there, good idea, and some liquid die free benadryl.
It has to make sure that I forget exactly what
they recommend that it does not have. But if you're
using the children's die free allergy, that will be a
(19:45):
safe one for the dogs, according to what I've been told.
Another thing I have in my kit is a muzzle.
Good idea, because one thing I learned in the pet
to First Aid and CPR class that I attended was
that even if you've got a great dog, good number
bite if it's legs been broken or some kind of yeah,
severe pain, it could bite you while or trying to
(20:05):
help it. Yeah, So that's something that I keep in
there just in case. Hopefully I never have to use it,
just in case. It's a good idea to have. So
that's that's another thing people might want to think about.
You could take your first ake kit with you while
you're traveling and have somewhere in your home, maybe keep
it in your car, whatever works for you.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I have a couple, you know, a little.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Bit further into having your vets information in the emergency kit.
Something I do, and you know, maybe it's just a
little bit like over prepared or whatever, but it makes
me feel comfortable is to have my vaccination records with
me pretty much all the time. I keep it in
my purse, You could keep it in your car or
(20:47):
wherever it is convenient for you. That's kind of useful
in a few different reasons. Maybe there's an emergency in
your area, not just your house. It could be something
like nine to eleven. God forbid. I think during that
time frame a lot of people were separated from their pets.
No clue, but if there was ever a time when
you needed to have records for your pet and you
(21:09):
didn't have them, that would be the time that would be,
you know, that would be the time when you would
need them. Or perhaps maybe you are traveling and there's
an emergency you need to take your pets somewhere to
be boarded that you're never you know, you've never been
to before, and they don't want to take them, and
it's a Sunday and your vet's not open. So that's
just an idea. I also include with that directions to
(21:31):
the closest emergency twenty four hour facility. And mostly that's
because if I did ever have to have an emergency
and I got to take my dog somewhere quickly, I
don't want to have to stop figure out what's the
closest place, and I really don't want to have to
stop and figure out directions to that place, right. You know,
time is of the essence, so having that prepared ahead
(21:51):
of time would be a good idea. And along the
same lines, if you are traveling, a book that I
have is called the pet Er Guide. It's made by
Trailer Line Books. It's a directory of twenty four hour
and after hour veterinary facilities in the United States. It's
written by Melinda Lord and basically it lists list by
every state and some of the cities that you might
(22:14):
be visiting near. It will list the emergency animal facilities
you can go to. It lists all kinds of information
on how to contact them, what their hours are, et cetera.
It's a good idea to keep with you when you're
traveling and you know you don't have to worry about
finding a place near vacation spot or wherever you're at.
(22:35):
You know, speaking of so much traveling and emergency preparedness,
some of the things you can do, you know, on
a safety level of travel is, you know, instead of
letting your dogs go loose in the vehicle, you can
use a seat belt made for pets. You use the
lookout seats that we've talked about before. I have my
(22:58):
dogs in harness and then I have them attached to
the harness is a tether what's called. But one end
of the tether attaches to the safety bar in between
your seats and the other end attaches to their harness.
So it gives them some room to be able to
move around, but they're not gonna go like flying somewhere. Yeah,
(23:21):
And by attaching it to the harness, it's not bad
on their neck, you know, with the collar. So that's
one thing you can try. You know, it's good if
you have you know, only a few vehicles or excuse me,
a few animals or a big vehicle. Putting them in
the crate is a good idea too. That will probably
keep them them, I'd say, even the most safe having
some muddle around them, or for whatever reason the vehicle's damaged,
(23:46):
maybe they won't be able to run loose in the car.
So anybody that can do the crates a great thing.
Another thing that would be a good idea would be
a window clean for your vehicle. It is made by
the National Pet Sitters and it basically just lists a
emergency contact in case you are in a accident. In
(24:09):
your vehicle. You know that's something to consider.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
I carry a laminated card Christine right behind my driver's
license that said, in the event of emergency, I am
a pet owner, please call this number whoever my two
or three emergency contacts or to let them know that,
you know, get my my pets. Good idea something small
you can have.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But in addition to the window.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Clane right, you know, another thing I do is I
keep in my car an extra collar and a lease
just in case one of my dogs were to break
or in case I'm somewhere and I see a string
animal that you know you can't find. Obviously you can't
find the owner right and you want to help the dog.
Usually when you have strays, they don't want to come
to you on maybe on their own. Maybe they need
(24:54):
a little bit of coxing with, you know, a lease
or something that's something you might want to think about.
We also carry like food and water dishes. You can
get like the classical kind that go right in your
golf compartment if you want, and.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
Welcome back.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
We're talking about traveling with your pets pet safety. Christine
was just talking about safely transporting your pets from here
to there and what can work.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
A small addition to that.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Would be I take my eighteen month old nephew around
quite a bit, and I have one of those window
shades that has the color on it, the red button
that says if it gets too hot. Suction cups that
works rate for dogs, your pampered pooch too. They're five
dollars at your local Mire or I'm sure you can
pick it up at any Walmart store and it would
(29:09):
keep the car cool and kind of alert you. Again,
we never recommend that you ever leave your dog unattended
in a car. I don't care if the windows down
in sixty degrees. That is not something we are recommending.
But while you're traveling with them, keep the shades down,
keeps the car cool. Maybe they'll be sleeping and enjoying
themselves and you know how the temperature is getting in
the back. And as we're talking about travel and summer
(29:32):
and things that happen if you're taking your dog somewhere,
either you're going up north or going to friends or
family's house, they may have a pool. This is something
I think to be really careful about pets and pools.
Everyone assumes that all dogs can swim and that they
love the water.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Not necessarily so that's true, I guess.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Just most pet owners assume that they know how to swim,
but many do not. Many pets do not. Dog, especially
the first time and they find themselves in a pool
can be really try dramatic if they're not introduced to
it slowly. A lake is a little bit different. A
pool can be very unsafe for your dog. If your
dog's running around or the kids are running around, and
(30:10):
the dog's excited, and the dog falls in, how does
the dog get out? On those sides, the dog can
lose his life. There is such a thing called a
scamper matt, scamper ramp, scamper ramp, I'm sorry, scamper mat,
a scamper ramp that actually was invented for your dog
to be able to climb up and out of the
water from the sides of the pool.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
One of the Chris's family members did actually have that
unfortunate incident where she didn't realize the dog had gotten
outside and then unfortunately drowned in the pool because it
wasn't big enough to get out of the pool. So yeah,
I mean, you know again, if it's your own backyard,
(30:50):
we recommend some kind of device that the that the
dog can get out on a ramp.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
It's got holes, it's haired plastic, it can grip.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
If you want to find out more information about the
Scamper ramp, go to www. Dot Scamper s k A
m P E R hyphen ramp r a mp dot com.
And there's also if you're like me and you have pool,
I have little life jackets for my dogs just to
get them in the water.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
You know, Mateoki does really good with the pool and likes.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
To be in the water, and I didn't want it
to be traumatic for him.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Maybe you're going on a boat out on the lake somewhere.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Yes, they do have dog life jackets.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
They even have some designer dog life jackets Christine, which
is amazing for your pampered pooches. But you know, the
life jackets just make sure your pets safe around the
water the boat pool. It's great for working dogs or
older dogs if they're in and out of the water
a lot. They're available and small to three X sizes
and you can, you know, measure your dog that kind
of thing and order the size that works. They have
(31:51):
little nautical ones and pink polka dots.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They're so cute and usually on the back of the
life jackets there's like a a loop where basically you
can pick them up quickly if we need to write.
So that's something that's a nice little extra safety feature.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Yes, big or small, and you know how things weigh
less in the water. Even if you've got a big dog,
you can still use that loop. You can find these
cut safety life jackets at www dot pets p E
T S t R e E T M A l

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, this is Christine Latham with the Pampered Pooch and
I'm here with Mary. She's the co chair of the
Puppy Mill Awareness meetup group and that's basically located in
the metro Detroit area and we are at again the
Fight at Us for NIL event. And Mary, what are
you hoping to basically do at today's event.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
Well, we hope today's event will draw a lot of
people into our booth to be able to educate them
about the puppy mills and the link to the pet stores.
There's still a lot of people who don't have any
idea that pet stores do sell puppy mail puppies and
that even though the pet stores say that they're a
(33:12):
USDA license breeder, that still means poppy mil So the
pet stores try to, you know, skirt the issue, and
we want to make everybody aware of that. And the
puppy mail puppies are kept in some really inhumane conditions.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You know, the feces in the.
Speaker 12 (33:29):
Urine drop from one cage to the next. The cages
are have wire floors and oftentimes they're too large for
the dogs and their feet fall through the through the
wire and then they can get injured. And the other
part is is the breeding dogs are kept in crates,
oh for two three years at a time. They never
(33:50):
see the outdoors, they don't know what grass is, they've
never been socialized with people or other dogs. Sometimes puppy
mill puppies are hard botty train because they've always gone
in their create. They don't understand the indoor outdoor kind
of a situation. So we're hoping to limit commercial breeders. Actually,
(34:13):
we'd like to be able to shut down some puppy
mills because what they do is there's such an overpopulation
of dogs already that it's really not necessary to have
these breeders do mass breeding of poppies. There's so many
purebreads and shelters and rescues, even purebread rescues, that it's
(34:37):
not necessary to have these puppy mills just churning out
puppy after poppy. They don't concern themselves with the health
of the of the poppies that they produce, and then
the unsuspecting customer buys the poppy and then before you
know what, you got hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in
bad bills. Yeah, So our goal is education and to
(35:02):
encourage people to go through rescues or shelters if when
they're looking for their next pet, and they make great pets.
You know, so many people say that they're probably some
of the most grateful pets around, and it just seems
to be that way. So we're hoping we can get
people back into the shelter step the euthanizing. You know,
there's a lot of dogs who are just really stressed
(35:25):
in the shelters, really need to be in a home.
Do so much better in a home, you know than
the shelter. And so if we can you know, step
the puppy mill breeding, we won't have so many dogs
being euthanized or being stressed in shelters.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, it sounds good, you know. I actually have two
puppy moil survivors of my own. One is Princess. She's
actually just turned six, but she was in a puppy
mil for three years, used as a breeder, and he
her after life wasn't as bad after she got out
and was rescued. She had a lot of separation anxiety
and it's still shy and very fearful of men still,
(36:02):
but she's she's done pretty good. So there definitely can
be really you know, rehabilitated so people don't have to
worry about getting them putpa maal dogs, you know, their pet.
And then I have Louis. He was in a puppy
mill for nine years, and it's a little bit harder
for him, Like he's one that we haven't all the
way gotten to train, like you mentioned, because he spent
so much time you know, just being able to go
(36:24):
to the bathroom where we wanted. So he does sometimes
have to wear a belly man, you know. But again,
like he's just been a little bit slower of a progress,
but he has come around. You know. They're definitely make
great dogs.
Speaker 12 (36:36):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
The puppy mills.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
I've got one from a Pennsylvania puppy mill and one
from a Missouri puppy mill. And the one guy spent
an entire year in a cage, and they are initially
very fearful, but as they become more socialized. Now for
these guys, my guys are younger than yours, so that's
(37:00):
little bit easier to rehabilitate because they're so much younger.
But they do rehabilitate, and they do make great pets,
So nobody should be afraid of you know. It just
takes a little more patience, a little bit more understanding,
but nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Absolutely definitely form.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
A really good bond with these dogs.
Speaker 12 (37:26):
So that's definitely the way to go. And trying to
get a dog out of a pet store, you know,
and even some people feel like they're rescuing the dog
by purchasing it from the pet store, and that's really
not the case, because.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
As long as there's a buyer, there's going to be
a seller.
Speaker 12 (37:43):
And if you think you're helping that poor dog by
getting it out of the pat store by buying it,
you're really not.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
You're just putting money back on the puppy miller's hand.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, because it's gonna be replaced by another dog for
sale basically, So.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
Oh yeah, you buy one, spot opens up and there's
ten more waiting to drag it.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
So what we really would like to say see that stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah, And you know, the great thing about what you're
doing today is that you're doing it in a very
non evasive way. You know, you just have a booth
with some information for people to come up. You're doing
free face painting. We've got some examples of pap painting,
you know, some of the rescues have you know, just
basically done portraits with their paws with paint. And you know,
(38:22):
you're just doing a nice, friendly way. And that's the
good thing about the group, I think.
Speaker 12 (38:27):
Yeah, our goal in that regard to is just to
be very warm, very friendly. If somebody doesn't want to
agree with us, you know, that's perfectly fine. We're not
here to impose our opinion on people's. We're here to
share the information and the facts that we have and
then we let the public do what they want with it.
(38:50):
You know, not everybody's gonna buy it, and I'm sure
there's a lot of pest our owners out there that
are just gonna say, yeah, this is you know not
They're gonna try and to credit it, but of course
I expect it because that's their business. So we're really
a very peaceful group. We're not confrontational, absolutely, as I
(39:14):
think education is the is the education is power. So
if we educate the people, that's pretty powerful.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Good, well, thank you so much, Mane. I appreciate your time.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Thanks. Our favorite pooch of the week is Monituc. Monituke
is a three year old, well almost three and a
half Great Dane. Her mom, Cheryl, was basically in search
of a playmate for their other Great Dane, and they
drove up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and found
what they thought was really deplorable conditions that the puppies
(39:48):
were living in. They really wish that they could take
home all the puppies, but you know, they couldn't quite
do that, as all of us would probably not be
able to do that. Monituke really had and still has
many medical problem but they would not give her up
for the world and they do not regret ever getting her.
Some of the things that Manitukee really likes to do
(40:09):
is she likes to run. She really likes to chase
and be chased, and her favorite toys. Outside is a
purple jolly ball. She pretty much carries it around with
her head held high and with pride. And inside is
a pillow that she kind of commands as her own.
She will find it in the bedroom and take it
(40:31):
wherever she wants to lay down. She'll nod on it
and like soak it in saliva. Sounds pretty cute and
basically like her favorite food. Well, she's due to her allergies,
she's pretty much limited to what she can eat like.
She's not given any kind of human food or no
unauthorized treats, which I completely understand. I try not to
let anybody give them unauthorized treats, so I can, you know,
(40:53):
limit to what kind of food they're getting. But she
likes the food that she is getting. She's the happiest
when she can dig and create a creator in the
blink of an eye. She doesn't know any tricks, just
kind of like the basic commands. If you can get
her to listen to you, then she's pretty much you know,
the mom's pretty much happy with that. Some of the
ways that she's pampered. She doesn't have a wardrobe of
(41:17):
such because as a great day and she's just too
big for that. But she is pampered in many other ways,
pampered in ways that some people don't really consider pampering,
Like when she broke her leg and needed immediate surgery
to save her leg. They definitely took you know, great
care of her. She that costs quite a penny. She
has a dermatologist specialist for her allergies and unfortunately she
(41:38):
has to get weekly injections, and her skin has to
be tended to and her ears have to be tended
to on a weekly basis. So those are some you know,
health ways that her mom likes to pamper her. Many
things over the years that have been done to help
build her confidence with humans. So the pampering isn't really
in like material things, but it's more like the care
(42:00):
and love that she gets from her family. And of course,
you know, above and beyond what is considered reasonable, the
money and the time that's invested in her have been
reason enough for others to maybe want to have terminated her,
but her family has, you know, loved her, has never
looked back since she came into their life, and they
(42:20):
know that it's for a reason. And really that's the
best kind of pampering, I think definitely. Yeah, she sounds
like a really great gal. And our picture is so cute.
It's a picture of her lane on the sofa with
probably the pillow that they're talking about. She's very cute.
Speaker 8 (42:36):
And this week's pooch waiting to be pampered or adapted
looking for their forever home is Shorty, a Boston Terrier.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Shorty is so cute.
Speaker 8 (42:45):
He is a small senior, approximately eight to ten years old.
He's a black and white and brindle. Of course, he's
a neutered male. He weighs eighteen pounds. He's really good
with dogs, not sure about cats. He's great trained, housebroken,
great temperament, active energy level, good with kids of all ages,
(43:07):
and he's working on his basic commands. He's being fostered
in Michigan and his adoption fee is one hundred and
seventy five dollars. They tell us the foster mom says
that Shorty may be a senior, but he's a very
young at heart senior. He still loves to play gopher walks,
but he really enjoys his cuddle time. Also, he's a
friendly little guy that loves people and loves to have
(43:27):
attention poured on him. Shorty says, come play with me
and I'll give you lots of kisses. If you're interested
in Shorty so cute, go to Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Welcome back to the Pan Pooch on Tetlife Radio.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
You know, Christine, as I was coming in today to record,
I was thinking about the window clings decals you have
on the outside of your home, several windows that in
case of an emergency, your pets need to be rescued.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
You talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, I got those not long ago. There's a lot
of different companies that sell them. The ones I like
the best were by a Pet Safety Alert Incorporated. You
can go to their website at pet alertdcal dot com.
And it's really nice because in case there's an emergency
when you're not at your home, you can put one
(04:37):
on your windows and it basically just tells the like
fire and rescue, how many pets you have inside your home,
so that way they know how many to look for.
You can save the number of dogs, cats, birds or
other animals and it will you know, it could save
your animals life and also could save the fire or
you know, rescues life if they're if they're like, say
(04:59):
the house burned, and they're going and trying to find
how many you have, and you know, if they've found
four and and you say that you have for they
know they don't have to look any longer. So that's
something I recommend. And I think you could even like
write in to the window cling like an emergency number
if you want, which is a good idea because if
(05:22):
you aren't home and you need someone else to be
contacted or maybe your cell phone or something like that.
And so that's that's something I suggest to everybody.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
I saw those right away. They're bright red and says
pet alert.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, you know, kind of going along with that one
of the things that I've done. You know, some people
could say maybe I'm just you know, being over prepared,
but either way, I like it. I have a list.
My list includes a lot of different information about my dogs.
If something where to happen to say me and my
husband at the same time, you know, a car accident, whatever,
(05:58):
I want to make sure that my dogs can make
for our family does don't live close to us, so
I want to make sure that I have either one
I have information for the family to get here and
somebody that's closer that can help us out. But my
list includes, you know a lot of different things, like
all about their meals. You know, how much to feed
(06:20):
them and win maybe what kind of food not to
give them, any kind of treats that they can have
dangerous foods because some you know, some people that might
be having to take care of our dogs and a
pinch might not know that, you know, caffeine and chocolate
and garlic, and onions and stuff like that are harmful
for a dog. I talk about like the routine basically,
(06:41):
you know what they're used to as far as you know,
going to the bathroom or being home alone. You know,
I just remind them. I personally do not suggest people
let their dogs outside of a fenced in yard without
a leash on. You know, everybody's dog is going to
be different, and they might say, well, my dog good.
You know, it's never gonna you know, run away. But
(07:03):
there's always that case, you know, like something grabs their
attention to squirrel or whatever. I actually have a neighbor
who you know, said their dogs would never like run
away from them, and not long after we moved in,
it ran across the street and got hit by a car.
So I mean that's just you know, one example, but
I've I've heard many people say they've never ran before.
(07:27):
So that's another safety thing I suggest is always make
sure your dog is either in a fence in yard
or is always on a leash. Some of the things
that I include on my list in case of an
emergency or any medications that they're taking, how often, which dogs,
where to find the medicine. I also include on their
(07:48):
all of the identifications. You know, if you're using a microchip,
what's the microchip number, where are they registered through? How
do you contact that company if you have any like
just I also use what's called an id tag dot com.
It is basically it looks like a little charm, but
(08:09):
on the back of it has an ID number and
I register with id tag dot com. And if the
dogs are ever lost, if somebody that finds them doesn't
realize they have a microchip, that id tag is a
you know, they can look at the back of it
and say, oh, okay, I see I can go to
this website or call this phone number and you know,
(08:31):
find out more information. And one thing good about using
that is is if your dog ever does come missing,
then you can notify the website and they will put
an alert out for you, which is really nice.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It is great.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, let's see another couple of things that you might
want to put on your list. I would put like, say,
for example, your vets information, any like poison control hotline information.
Maybe if they have a daycare that they go to
or a boarding facility, I would put that on there.
If your dog has pet insurants, you might want to
(09:06):
put that information on. So that's just something I recommend
is having a list in case of your own emergency
and to make sure that your dogs are well taken
care of.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
And that note Christine, in case of emergencies, you have
something set up that is great because it's step by step.
I also have something set up called a pet trust.
And I've heard a lot of people talk about the
pet trust and what they should do at the event
that something happens to you or you and your spouse.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
What's going to happen with your dogs.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Mike and I have set up a pet trust, designating
someone to be the trustee. We've set money aside for
the dogs to be taken care of and probably till
the rest of you know, their natural life, and that
if the person the trustee we've named cannot adopt them
or keep them themselves, that they would be adopted together.
(10:00):
They would not be split up because they are used
to being together. And I think it's important and basically
what a pet trust is and you're probably wondering why
do I need a pet trust? It just allows you
to provide care for your pets in the event of
your death or you and your spouse's death. A trust
is different.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
From a will.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
You may not want to leave money directly to a
pet in a last will or a living trust because
the law generally classifies pets as personal property. As such,
pets cannot directly receive money. A pet trust, on the
other hand, allows for money from your estate to be
managed as you direct by a person that you choose
for the purpose of providing long term care for your pets,
(10:42):
or the person that's adopting your dogs out. And I
think it's very important that you give it a lot
of thought, you talk thoroughly with the person that you
want to be the long term caregiver trustee. There's a
lot of good information on creating a pet trust and
things like that at www dot pet trust plus dot com,
(11:05):
p E T T r U S T P l U.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
S dot com some really good information.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
And that was one of the first things Mike did,
when Mike and I did when we had our first dog,
probably six months because we, you know, not having knowing
the children were young and I don't have any natural children,
so we our dogs are our kids.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We wanted to get that taken care of.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, it's a really good idea, and you don't have
to be rich to do that, not at all, because
you just want to make sure your pets are taken
care of. It's not that you have, you know, millions
of dollars and you're trying.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
To leave that exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, very nice. You know, we briefly touched on the
subject of making sure your dogs have identification. You know.
Of course, there's the standard dog tag, the tag I
mentioned micro chipping. I really suggest that you try more
than one method with your dog because attack can come off.
People might not know about the micro chipping, so I
would try several different things. Of course, do your own research.
(12:02):
There are other options out there. There are, you know,
like a dog tattoo. I don't know much information about it,
but something you can look into. There are GPS callers.
If you have a little dog, you might not want
to get a GPS caller because I think the GPS
device on the collar is pretty big. But do Yeah,
but maybe you know, maybe not, Maybe you don't mind
(12:24):
that it's a little bit bigger, or if you have
a bigger dog, you know, it's probably not gonna seem
like too big of a deal. There are a lot
of different GPS callers out there, so I'm sure you
can find one that would be the right size. That's
probably a really good idea because it's probably not gonna
come off as easily. Might be a little bit more expensive,
but hey, you know, finding your dog and keeping them
safe is definitely worth the cost. And the other thing
(12:47):
that I briefly heard a little bit about is basically
like a dog nose print. Yeah, I don't really know
a ton about it. You can find out some more
at dog nosid dot com And basically they say that
your dog's noseprint will never change regardless of the you know,
(13:09):
weather or any kind of precipitation or their age. So
that's something you can maybe look into, just.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Like people's fingerprints.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, that's pretty much what it's supposed to be like.
So yeah, those are some things that I would try
on keeping your pet id and keeping your pet safe.
One thing I really quickly wanted to mention too, is
that with micro chipping, there are probably a lot of
different companies. You can go through two of the major
ones on the market or Home Again. An Avid. I
(13:39):
wanted to point out that with home Again you have
to register every year, yes, and it's really important for
people to know that when I first got Sugar, I
was registered with home again. The time expired and they
never sent me a reminder and she went without having
registration for a while before I realized it. So since
then I've gone with Avid just because you know, I
(14:02):
can always be registered. You pay one time, right if
you move and you have to update your information. It
costs like six bucks. I mean to me, it's worth it.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, I also have three or four I have under
that one microchip.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You have to do it every year.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, so that's something. If you have a dog that's
registered and home again, just please check your records to
make sure that they're current on their registration.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You know, Christine, earlier we talked about the pet decal klings.
In the event of a fire or your pets need
to be rescued, I have found a wonderful product that
I actually have myself and met the owner and proprietor
that made this what it is. It's called the Panic
Line for dogs and in case of emergency. The gist
(14:46):
of the panic line is it allows for multiple dogs
to be removed at one time. I had asked the
owner how she originally started or why she made this
Panic line, and she said that she had an acquaintance.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That was traveling.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
They were in their camp or going from state to state,
and they had eight big dogs. Someone were working dogs,
some were show dogs that kind of thing. Well, while
they were traveling, the camper started on fire, and while
it was burning, they had to go in keep getting
one dog out at a time because they didn't have
the leashes clipped and all that, and they had eight
big dogs they had to take care of. They didn't
(15:23):
have a system to get those dogs all out at once.
The good news is the dogs got out. But this
is why the panic line was invented, and I think
it's a great system.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It basically is a long.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Bright orange webbed leash and it has four different attachments
coming off the lead line, okay, through ring clips and
their bell crow together, so you pull the bell crow
off and they fall. There are additional add ons available
that they make. The reason that she told me they
did four is because they tested it out and four
(15:59):
big dogs could be managed on a ten foot lead line.
So the lead line is ten feet long and it
can easily be tied around a trunk of a tree
that's three feet tire of a car. Telephone pole. And
because it's bright orange, the lead is bright orange, responders
to the fire can see that the dogs are all
(16:19):
secured and then the responders can proceed to help you
as needed, put out the fire, et cetera. This panic
line comes in three sizes small, medium, and large, and
again custom sizes can be made. But it's for multiple dogs.
This is a great product. It comes in its own
little yellow bag. It says Panic Line for Dogs, and
I hang it right by my door that we go
(16:39):
in and out, so that way, whether it's my husband,
Mike or myself, we can grab it, flip it, open,
clip those dogs and go.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
She says.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
It's using grooming slans, vets, offices, kennels, and private homes.
Everybody would benefit from this. So for more information on
the Panic line, go to www. Dot season cat A
l I S season cat O, L l A r
S dot com. That's Calli'scollars dot com and click on
(17:12):
Panic Line for more information. Great safety product.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You know, Vicky, I really like the idea of the
fire line like that. It's definitely a good idea for
multiple dogs, good idea for big pets, an alternative of
something I've been using thankfully we have had at any emergencies.
But just in case is I have like a bag
actually it's the pet Jet center that we've talked about before.
I kind of double it as an emergency bag. And
(17:38):
if there's ever like a fire or some something that
we need to get out of the house, you know,
pretty quickly. We are from one end of the house
and the other end of the house is where the
releases are usually kept. So I usually keep like some
like cheaper ones that can fold down pretty you know,
tightly into the bag to put on them in case
we need to get out quickly. I also have like
(17:59):
a first aid kid in there. I've got like some
water in case, you know, again you have to get
out quickly and you need something with you know, for
the dogs. And we also have some other stuff it use,
like a carabiner in case you want to put the
leashes all. You know, I have small dogs, So if
I want to put the leashes in you know, somewhere
outside maybe like the neighbor's deck or something, you can
(18:21):
put the carabiner around a pool or whatever you know
that you need to do in a quick hurry. So
that's some stuff that people might want to think about.
I know, in the first aid kit you have some
of the stuff that you recommend. Would be like, guys.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
I've got the hydrogen peroxide.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
I've got a sterile eye wash, an instant cold compress.
I have a small thin nylon lead in case I
need it. I got I have first aid antiseptic and
burn cream.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
You know the wet.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Wipes, antiseptic wet wipes. I've got a digital thermometer, latex gloves, tweezers,
and scissors if I need to cut the gau And
then I have a little information packet just the vetinaries,
numbers in here, the emergency VET by me, and a
little information the CPR ABC's what if you know a
(19:12):
dog ass heat stroke, dehydration, what are you supposed to do?
What about drowning, burns, bleeding, choking, those kind of things.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
It's just right there. Everything's right in this little box.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's a good idea. That sounds pretty similar to what
I've got for my first ake kit for the dogs.
I also have some like diarrhea medicine for the dogs
in there, good idea, and some liquid die free benadryl.
It has to make sure that I forget exactly what
they recommend that it does not have. But if you're
using the children's die free allergy, that will be a
(19:45):
safe one for the dogs, according to what I've been told.
Another thing I have in my kit is a muzzle.
Good idea, because one thing I learned in the pet
to First Aid and CPR class that I attended was
that even if you've got a great dog, good number
bite if it's legs been broken or some kind of yeah,
severe pain, it could bite you while or trying to
(20:05):
help it. Yeah, So that's something that I keep in
there just in case. Hopefully I never have to use it,
just in case. It's a good idea to have. So
that's that's another thing people might want to think about.
You could take your first ake kit with you while
you're traveling and have somewhere in your home, maybe keep
it in your car, whatever works for you.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
I have a couple, you know, a little.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Bit further into having your vets information in the emergency kit.
Something I do, and you know, maybe it's just a
little bit like over prepared or whatever, but it makes
me feel comfortable is to have my vaccination records with
me pretty much all the time. I keep it in
my purse, You could keep it in your car or
(20:47):
wherever it is convenient for you. That's kind of useful
in a few different reasons. Maybe there's an emergency in
your area, not just your house. It could be something
like nine to eleven. God forbid. I think during that
time frame a lot of people were separated from their pets.
No clue, but if there was ever a time when
you needed to have records for your pet and you
(21:09):
didn't have them, that would be the time that would be,
you know, that would be the time when you would
need them. Or perhaps maybe you are traveling and there's
an emergency you need to take your pets somewhere to
be boarded that you're never you know, you've never been
to before, and they don't want to take them, and
it's a Sunday and your vet's not open. So that's
just an idea. I also include with that directions to
(21:31):
the closest emergency twenty four hour facility. And mostly that's
because if I did ever have to have an emergency
and I got to take my dog somewhere quickly, I
don't want to have to stop figure out what's the
closest place, and I really don't want to have to
stop and figure out directions to that place, right. You know,
time is of the essence, so having that prepared ahead
(21:51):
of time would be a good idea. And along the
same lines, if you are traveling, a book that I
have is called the pet Er Guide. It's made by
Trailer Line Books. It's a directory of twenty four hour
and after hour veterinary facilities in the United States. It's
written by Melinda Lord and basically it lists list by
every state and some of the cities that you might
(22:14):
be visiting near. It will list the emergency animal facilities
you can go to. It lists all kinds of information
on how to contact them, what their hours are, et cetera.
It's a good idea to keep with you when you're
traveling and you know you don't have to worry about
finding a place near vacation spot or wherever you're at.
(22:35):
You know, speaking of so much traveling and emergency preparedness,
some of the things you can do, you know, on
a safety level of travel is, you know, instead of
letting your dogs go loose in the vehicle, you can
use a seat belt made for pets. You use the
lookout seats that we've talked about before. I have my
(22:58):
dogs in harness and then I have them attached to
the harness is a tether what's called. But one end
of the tether attaches to the safety bar in between
your seats and the other end attaches to their harness.
So it gives them some room to be able to
move around, but they're not gonna go like flying somewhere. Yeah,
(23:21):
And by attaching it to the harness, it's not bad
on their neck, you know, with the collar. So that's
one thing you can try. You know, it's good if
you have you know, only a few vehicles or excuse me,
a few animals or a big vehicle. Putting them in
the crate is a good idea too. That will probably
keep them them, I'd say, even the most safe having
some muddle around them, or for whatever reason the vehicle's damaged,
(23:46):
maybe they won't be able to run loose in the car.
So anybody that can do the crates a great thing.
Another thing that would be a good idea would be
a window clean for your vehicle. It is made by
the National Pet Sitters and it basically just lists a
emergency contact in case you are in a accident. In
(24:09):
your vehicle. You know that's something to consider.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
I carry a laminated card Christine right behind my driver's
license that said, in the event of emergency, I am
a pet owner, please call this number whoever my two
or three emergency contacts or to let them know that,
you know, get my my pets. Good idea something small
you can have.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But in addition to the window.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Clane right, you know, another thing I do is I
keep in my car an extra collar and a lease
just in case one of my dogs were to break
or in case I'm somewhere and I see a string
animal that you know you can't find. Obviously you can't
find the owner right and you want to help the dog.
Usually when you have strays, they don't want to come
to you on maybe on their own. Maybe they need
(24:54):
a little bit of coxing with, you know, a lease
or something that's something you might want to think about.
We also carry like food and water dishes. You can
get like the classical kind that go right in your
golf compartment if you want, and.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
Welcome back.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
We're talking about traveling with your pets pet safety. Christine
was just talking about safely transporting your pets from here
to there and what can work.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
A small addition to that.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Would be I take my eighteen month old nephew around
quite a bit, and I have one of those window
shades that has the color on it, the red button
that says if it gets too hot. Suction cups that
works rate for dogs, your pampered pooch too. They're five
dollars at your local Mire or I'm sure you can
pick it up at any Walmart store and it would
(29:09):
keep the car cool and kind of alert you. Again,
we never recommend that you ever leave your dog unattended
in a car. I don't care if the windows down
in sixty degrees. That is not something we are recommending.
But while you're traveling with them, keep the shades down,
keeps the car cool. Maybe they'll be sleeping and enjoying
themselves and you know how the temperature is getting in
the back. And as we're talking about travel and summer
(29:32):
and things that happen if you're taking your dog somewhere,
either you're going up north or going to friends or
family's house, they may have a pool. This is something
I think to be really careful about pets and pools.
Everyone assumes that all dogs can swim and that they
love the water.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Not necessarily so that's true, I guess.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Just most pet owners assume that they know how to swim,
but many do not. Many pets do not. Dog, especially
the first time and they find themselves in a pool
can be really try dramatic if they're not introduced to
it slowly. A lake is a little bit different. A
pool can be very unsafe for your dog. If your
dog's running around or the kids are running around, and
(30:10):
the dog's excited, and the dog falls in, how does
the dog get out? On those sides, the dog can
lose his life. There is such a thing called a
scamper matt, scamper ramp, scamper ramp, I'm sorry, scamper mat,
a scamper ramp that actually was invented for your dog
to be able to climb up and out of the
water from the sides of the pool.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
One of the Chris's family members did actually have that
unfortunate incident where she didn't realize the dog had gotten
outside and then unfortunately drowned in the pool because it
wasn't big enough to get out of the pool. So yeah,
I mean, you know again, if it's your own backyard,
(30:50):
we recommend some kind of device that the that the
dog can get out on a ramp.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
It's got holes, it's haired plastic, it can grip.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
If you want to find out more information about the
Scamper ramp, go to www. Dot Scamper s k A
m P E R hyphen ramp r a mp dot com.
And there's also if you're like me and you have pool,
I have little life jackets for my dogs just to
get them in the water.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
You know, Mateoki does really good with the pool and likes.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
To be in the water, and I didn't want it
to be traumatic for him.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Maybe you're going on a boat out on the lake somewhere.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Yes, they do have dog life jackets.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
They even have some designer dog life jackets Christine, which
is amazing for your pampered pooches. But you know, the
life jackets just make sure your pets safe around the
water the boat pool. It's great for working dogs or
older dogs if they're in and out of the water
a lot. They're available and small to three X sizes
and you can, you know, measure your dog that kind
of thing and order the size that works. They have
(31:51):
little nautical ones and pink polka dots.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
They're so cute and usually on the back of the
life jackets there's like a a loop where basically you
can pick them up quickly if we need to write.
So that's something that's a nice little extra safety feature.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Yes, big or small, and you know how things weigh
less in the water. Even if you've got a big dog,
you can still use that loop. You can find these
cut safety life jackets at www dot pets p E
T S t R e E T M A l
L dot com. That's Petstreetmall dot com.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, this is Christine Latham with the Pampered Pooch and
I'm here with Mary. She's the co chair of the
Puppy Mill Awareness meetup group and that's basically located in
the metro Detroit area and we are at again the
Fight at Us for NIL event. And Mary, what are
you hoping to basically do at today's event.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
Well, we hope today's event will draw a lot of
people into our booth to be able to educate them
about the puppy mills and the link to the pet stores.
There's still a lot of people who don't have any
idea that pet stores do sell puppy mail puppies and
that even though the pet stores say that they're a
(33:12):
USDA license breeder, that still means poppy mil So the
pet stores try to, you know, skirt the issue, and
we want to make everybody aware of that. And the
puppy mail puppies are kept in some really inhumane conditions.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You know, the feces in the.
Speaker 12 (33:29):
Urine drop from one cage to the next. The cages
are have wire floors and oftentimes they're too large for
the dogs and their feet fall through the through the
wire and then they can get injured. And the other
part is is the breeding dogs are kept in crates,
oh for two three years at a time. They never
(33:50):
see the outdoors, they don't know what grass is, they've
never been socialized with people or other dogs. Sometimes puppy
mill puppies are hard botty train because they've always gone
in their create. They don't understand the indoor outdoor kind
of a situation. So we're hoping to limit commercial breeders. Actually,
(34:13):
we'd like to be able to shut down some puppy
mills because what they do is there's such an overpopulation
of dogs already that it's really not necessary to have
these breeders do mass breeding of poppies. There's so many
purebreads and shelters and rescues, even purebread rescues, that it's
(34:37):
not necessary to have these puppy mills just churning out
puppy after poppy. They don't concern themselves with the health
of the of the poppies that they produce, and then
the unsuspecting customer buys the poppy and then before you
know what, you got hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars in
bad bills. Yeah, So our goal is education and to
(35:02):
encourage people to go through rescues or shelters if when
they're looking for their next pet, and they make great pets.
You know, so many people say that they're probably some
of the most grateful pets around, and it just seems
to be that way. So we're hoping we can get
people back into the shelter step the euthanizing. You know,
there's a lot of dogs who are just really stressed
(35:25):
in the shelters, really need to be in a home.
Do so much better in a home, you know than
the shelter. And so if we can you know, step
the puppy mill breeding, we won't have so many dogs
being euthanized or being stressed in shelters.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, it sounds good, you know. I actually have two
puppy moil survivors of my own. One is Princess. She's
actually just turned six, but she was in a puppy
mil for three years, used as a breeder, and he
her after life wasn't as bad after she got out
and was rescued. She had a lot of separation anxiety
and it's still shy and very fearful of men still,
(36:02):
but she's she's done pretty good. So there definitely can
be really you know, rehabilitated so people don't have to
worry about getting them putpa maal dogs, you know, their pet.
And then I have Louis. He was in a puppy
mill for nine years, and it's a little bit harder
for him, Like he's one that we haven't all the
way gotten to train, like you mentioned, because he spent
so much time you know, just being able to go
(36:24):
to the bathroom where we wanted. So he does sometimes
have to wear a belly man, you know. But again,
like he's just been a little bit slower of a progress,
but he has come around. You know. They're definitely make
great dogs.
Speaker 12 (36:36):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
The puppy mills.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
I've got one from a Pennsylvania puppy mill and one
from a Missouri puppy mill. And the one guy spent
an entire year in a cage, and they are initially
very fearful, but as they become more socialized. Now for
these guys, my guys are younger than yours, so that's
(37:00):
little bit easier to rehabilitate because they're so much younger.
But they do rehabilitate, and they do make great pets,
So nobody should be afraid of you know. It just
takes a little more patience, a little bit more understanding,
but nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
Absolutely definitely form.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
A really good bond with these dogs.
Speaker 12 (37:26):
So that's definitely the way to go. And trying to
get a dog out of a pet store, you know,
and even some people feel like they're rescuing the dog
by purchasing it from the pet store, and that's really
not the case, because.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
As long as there's a buyer, there's going to be
a seller.
Speaker 12 (37:43):
And if you think you're helping that poor dog by
getting it out of the pat store by buying it,
you're really not.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
You're just putting money back on the puppy miller's hand.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, because it's gonna be replaced by another dog for
sale basically, So.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
Oh yeah, you buy one, spot opens up and there's
ten more waiting to drag it.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
So what we really would like to say see that stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah, And you know, the great thing about what you're
doing today is that you're doing it in a very
non evasive way. You know, you just have a booth
with some information for people to come up. You're doing
free face painting. We've got some examples of pap painting,
you know, some of the rescues have you know, just
basically done portraits with their paws with paint. And you know,
(38:22):
you're just doing a nice, friendly way. And that's the
good thing about the group, I think.
Speaker 12 (38:27):
Yeah, our goal in that regard to is just to
be very warm, very friendly. If somebody doesn't want to
agree with us, you know, that's perfectly fine. We're not
here to impose our opinion on people's. We're here to
share the information and the facts that we have and
then we let the public do what they want with it.
(38:50):
You know, not everybody's gonna buy it, and I'm sure
there's a lot of pest our owners out there that
are just gonna say, yeah, this is you know not
They're gonna try and to credit it, but of course
I expect it because that's their business. So we're really
a very peaceful group. We're not confrontational, absolutely, as I
(39:14):
think education is the is the education is power. So
if we educate the people, that's pretty powerful.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Good, well, thank you so much, Mane. I appreciate your time.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Thanks. Our favorite pooch of the week is Monituc. Monituke
is a three year old, well almost three and a
half Great Dane. Her mom, Cheryl, was basically in search
of a playmate for their other Great Dane, and they
drove up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and found
what they thought was really deplorable conditions that the puppies
(39:48):
were living in. They really wish that they could take
home all the puppies, but you know, they couldn't quite
do that, as all of us would probably not be
able to do that. Monituke really had and still has
many medical problem but they would not give her up
for the world and they do not regret ever getting her.
Some of the things that Manitukee really likes to do
(40:09):
is she likes to run. She really likes to chase
and be chased, and her favorite toys. Outside is a
purple jolly ball. She pretty much carries it around with
her head held high and with pride. And inside is
a pillow that she kind of commands as her own.
She will find it in the bedroom and take it
(40:31):
wherever she wants to lay down. She'll nod on it
and like soak it in saliva. Sounds pretty cute and
basically like her favorite food. Well, she's due to her allergies,
she's pretty much limited to what she can eat like.
She's not given any kind of human food or no
unauthorized treats, which I completely understand. I try not to
let anybody give them unauthorized treats, so I can, you know,
(40:53):
limit to what kind of food they're getting. But she
likes the food that she is getting. She's the happiest
when she can dig and create a creator in the
blink of an eye. She doesn't know any tricks, just
kind of like the basic commands. If you can get
her to listen to you, then she's pretty much you know,
the mom's pretty much happy with that. Some of the
ways that she's pampered. She doesn't have a wardrobe of
(41:17):
such because as a great day and she's just too
big for that. But she is pampered in many other ways,
pampered in ways that some people don't really consider pampering,
Like when she broke her leg and needed immediate surgery
to save her leg. They definitely took you know, great
care of her. She that costs quite a penny. She
has a dermatologist specialist for her allergies and unfortunately she
(41:38):
has to get weekly injections, and her skin has to
be tended to and her ears have to be tended
to on a weekly basis. So those are some you know,
health ways that her mom likes to pamper her. Many
things over the years that have been done to help
build her confidence with humans. So the pampering isn't really
in like material things, but it's more like the care
(42:00):
and love that she gets from her family. And of course,
you know, above and beyond what is considered reasonable, the
money and the time that's invested in her have been
reason enough for others to maybe want to have terminated her,
but her family has, you know, loved her, has never
looked back since she came into their life, and they
(42:20):
know that it's for a reason. And really that's the
best kind of pampering, I think definitely. Yeah, she sounds
like a really great gal. And our picture is so cute.
It's a picture of her lane on the sofa with
probably the pillow that they're talking about. She's very cute.
Speaker 8 (42:36):
And this week's pooch waiting to be pampered or adapted
looking for their forever home is Shorty, a Boston Terrier.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Shorty is so cute.
Speaker 8 (42:45):
He is a small senior, approximately eight to ten years old.
He's a black and white and brindle. Of course, he's
a neutered male. He weighs eighteen pounds. He's really good
with dogs, not sure about cats. He's great trained, housebroken,
great temperament, active energy level, good with kids of all ages,
(43:07):
and he's working on his basic commands. He's being fostered
in Michigan and his adoption fee is one hundred and
seventy five dollars. They tell us the foster mom says
that Shorty may be a senior, but he's a very
young at heart senior. He still loves to play gopher walks,
but he really enjoys his cuddle time. Also, he's a
friendly little guy that loves people and loves to have
(43:27):
attention poured on him. Shorty says, come play with me
and I'll give you lots of kisses. If you're interested
in Shorty so cute, go to Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue.
