Motel
6: "Dogs are welcome in this
motel. We never had a dog that smoked in bed and set fire
to the blankets. We never had a dog who stole our towels,
played the TV too loudly, or had a noisy fight with his traveling
companion. We never had a dog that got drunk and broke up
the furniture. So, if your dog can vouch for you, you're welcome,
too!!!! " The Management |

Through the Animal Bill of Rights, we are
working to show Congress a groundswell of support for legislation
that protects animals and recognizes their rights. Ultimately,
we hope the petition will be a bill. In the meantime, the
thousands of signatures on this petition send a clear message
to our legislators that Americans strongly support legal protection
for animals. When animal-related legislation is proposed,
Congress will remember the huge number of signatures on the
Animal Bill of Rights. With that in mind, they will cast a
vote for the animals. |

Pet
vaccine bill deserves support! "Because
many veterinarians have failed to disclose that most core
veterinary vaccines protect for seven or more years, pet owners,
unaware that their animals don't need multiple yearly vaccinations,
have overvaccinated their companions -- taking an unnecessary
toll on their finances and animals' health. Rep. Peter Rines
of Wiscasset has introduced legislation -- LR883, An Act to
Require Veterinarians to Provide Vaccine Disclosure Forms
-- to solve this problem" Online
Petition (ed note: this was in last newsletter,
but is considered important!) |
Dr. Wayne Potts of the University of
Utah is doing research into hypothyroid, diabetes, and hemolytic
anemia (CHF Grant #305). He is trying to figure out how to
predict which dogs may be stricken with these devastating
autoimmune disorders and how we might catch it early enough
to prevent the worst effects.
Malamutes reportedly have a high prevalence of thyroiditis
and, to a lesser extent, diabetes and hemolytic anemia.
If you have a dog with any of these disorders, please go
to http://www.malamutehealth.org/grant305.htm to find out
how to get involved. The research doesn't cost anything
except, perhaps, postage, and is entirely painless for your
dog.

Doggie
News: "You may have heard of "PETsHOTEL",
a day care facility for dogs and cats operated by PETsMART.
There are 18 such hotels located in PETsMART stores across
the country. PETsHOTEL is marketed as an upscale daycare facility
using photos of dogs romping together in a playpen, making
phone calls to their owners, and getting pampered by hotel
staff. After the newest PETsHOTEL opened
near Austin, Texas, News 8 Austin went there to run a story.
They produced a video
report which you can view on their website. The
video does show dogs playing together, and it does show one
dog placing a phone call to its owner, but for the most part
it seems the dogs spend most of their time resting in cages."
