Well hello, my name’s Carley! I was brought in to the shelter as a stray, and can be a little shy around new people at first. However, it doesn’t seem to take me long to start warming up to people. When you first go to pick me up, I tend to be a little leery of it at first; however when you start petting and talking to me, I start to calm down, and am okay with it. Loud noises and fast movements tend to scare me, so as a result, I think that I would do best in nice, calm, quiet environment that give me unconditional love. Even though I’m not an overly playful gal, I still like to run around and play with soft squeaky toys from time to time. I’m not sure if I was ever an inside dog in my past, but I’m doing pretty well about not having very
Dr. Bruce Perry, MD, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. Dr. Perry is also the senior fellow of The Child Trauma Academy, a not for profit organization based out of Houston, Texas. With the assistance of Co- Author Maia Szalavitz, an award-winning journalist with a specialization in Neuroscience. They worked together to co write “The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog”, an up to date source of information for individuals interested in childhood trauma. I found the book full of valuable knowledge and stories regarding childhood trauma and experiences, that I feel would be a great resource for anyone in the Human Service Work, Social Work or Teaching profession.
Antibiotic treatments have always found a threat in drug-resistant superbugs, like E. coli and Salmonella, which have evolved to make many of the antibiotics of our grandparents useless. But light-activated nanoparticles called quantum dots could boost antibiotic effectivity against such superbugs, according to new research from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado. Some pathogens evolve their defenses faster than new antibiotics are developed as potential treatment, and the production of superbug killers cost the United States around $20 billion in direct healthcare costs, and another $35 billion in wasted labor in 2013.
In the book, “The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog” by Bruce D. Perry, M.d., Ph.D. and Maia Szalavitz we are provided insight into the world of traumatized children and the effect in which trauma has on the development of children. Throughout this 263-page book, Dr. Perry provides different situations, methods, solutions and outcomes in relation to specific children who have been exposed to traumatic experiences from birth through adolescents. In this paper, I will provide a summary as well as a critique of the book. I will also include my personal perspective in regards to the contents of Dr. Perry and Maia Szalavitz’s book.
Hi, I'm Alyssa! I'm a student in NYC studying Economics. I've always loved dogs and growing up, I've had Keeshonds and my current Labradoodle, Jack! I've trained Jack in my free time to not do only basic tricks (sit, stay, high five), but to bark on command and put his toys away. I've taken care of both dogs and puppies for friends and gala events and volunteered at Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Walnut Creek, CA for 3 years to which I've had experience walking dogs, and caring and socializing with dogs. I can't wait to get to know you and your dog!
As George Carlin once said, “Life is a series of dogs.” In the book, A Dog’s Purpose, by W. Bruce Cameron, shows just that in the dog’s perspective. A Dog’s Purpose is a about a dog that goes through several lives trying to find his purpose. During each life he fulfills his purpose, once as a pet for a boy, a search and rescue dog, and other lives as a dog helping and changing people’s lives. Everything has a purpose in life. However, it is what you do to fulfill that purpose that makes you a good person.
Hi the name’s Tate, and I’m a very sweet, loving little guy, and I can’t wait to go home with you, and cuddle up in a chair right next to your thigh. I absolutely love to receive attention and affection, and if you pet me, especially on my belly, I’ll wag my tail and give you a few kisses, and you’ll see that we’re creating a special connection. I don’t have much interest in toys and am not very playful, though that might all begin to change once I get into an environment that is more stable. I’m not sure if I’ve only lived inside or outside, but I do have accidents inside from time to time, however I’m sure that I can become completely housebroken, all we got to do is give it a try. I know the command sit, but with some further training I’m
I feel the intent of this story is to show conformity. In the very beginning the author mentions “dogs”; and to contrast my theory here is a statement from the story “ These dogs lacked the wheedling complicity of their tamed brother” (Benioff, David.”The devil comes to orekhavo”when the nines roll over. New York: Pengnin,2004.) . The meaning I get from this is that the soldiers leski is around are “untamed”. They don't think like he does, they no longer respect moral and ethical laws, they have reached the point of we have to do whatever it takes to stay alive. The story also mentions one of the dogs having a collar, and leski felt the others made fun of her for it. Which is very similar to the action that took place with Liski and his helmet.
Well hello beautiful person my name’s Moxley! I’m a very playful, curious, rambunctious, and trusting canine. Take me out for a big walk every day, take me outside where I can run around and play, or just give me something fun and entertaining to do. Speaking of playing some of my favorite toys to play with are ropes and stuffed toys, while playing I’ll even challenge you to see who’s stronger in a good ole game of tug-of-war. However, sometimes I get so caught up in the moment while playing, that I’ll start to play just a little too rough, so you’ll just have to let me know when I do. In my previous home I spent an equal amount of time outside and inside, so a result, I am house trained, and I’m also create trained. I have had a little training
Hi, my name’s Baba! When you come into visit with me, I might be a little shy, and go towards the back of my cage at first. However, once I get out of my cage, and start interacting with you, the more I’ll start warming up to you. I don’t really care to be picked up, and will jump up in your lap when I want to be held. Even if I’m not quite ready to jump up on your lap, I love to receive affection. I don’t think that I was leash walked a whole in my past, because I don’t like leashed up or have my collar area messed with. I was only ever around men and women in my previous home, so as result I would probably do best in a calm, quiet environment that didn’t have young children. I’ve only been an inside dog in my past, and only seem to have
Once upon a time there was a young boy named jack. jack was 15 years old and lived in austin, texas. He has been wishing for a dog for a very long time now. While decorating the Christmas tree in the family room, a blue Dog jumped out from behind a couch and tackled jack to the ground. But just when he was about to let out a scream for help, jack realized that the blue Dog was only licking his face, not trying to bite it off. At that moment, jack decided to keep the blue Dog as a pet. Since it was Christmas Eve he decided to name his pet clifford the blue Dog ''.'' Then he heard a noise from the front porch. That's right, it was jack's mother, susan. And boy was she surprised to see a blue Dog next to jack by the Christmas Tree! ''What in world is that?'' shouted susan. ''It's a blue Dog,'' answered jack. ''ah, I can see that, jack, but what on earth is it doing here?'' said susan. ''It's my new pet!'' answered jack. ''Oh you think so do you?'' remarked susan. ''I wouldn't get your hopes up. You know how your father hates blue Dogs. But, well, I suppose you can keep him until your father comes home.'' And with that jack grabbed by the scruff of the neck and led his new pet into the kitchen--even though he knew his father was probably going to dissaprove. Once in the kitchen, jack and his dog played and played, that is until jack's favorite television show, ''spongebob,'' started.
Never a cheery place, The Point was particularly bleak at twilight. Even the dusk's faint light illuminated too much, accentuating the bar's distinct charmlessness. Tess could see dust on the tables, the smeared glass in the jukebox, an odd assortment of stains on the floor. She couldn't blame this on Spike's absence. The truth was, the place looked marginally better under Tommy's care.
It's awful. I hate going to vet because I'm so fearful they will give us similar news or just try to sell us something we don't need. It's so sad doggies don't live longer. Our doggies have been there thru good times and bad and true members of the family. I truly feel your pain. A couple months ago when Decky almost passed I was basket case and it hurt more than I ever could of imagined. So sorry for you guys. I know flames knows she is
Hello everyone, my name’s Rascal! When you come into visit with me I may come off a little shy at first but once you get me out, I’ll warm up to you pretty quickly. In fact, I love being around playing with men, women, and children. I’m still a young gal, and would like it if could find a family that would be willing to take me out on walks or even jogs on a regular basis. Though I also like to burn off some of my energy by playing with toys such as stuffed squeaky toys. In my previous home I was mostly an indoor dog, and I was created when I was left alone. I’m not completely potty trained, but if someone was willing to continue to work with me on it hopefully I eventually can be. In my previous home I lived with another dog and was friendly
The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions
I’ve kissed Kai on his head plenty of times and sometimes he leaves a strange lingering taste of dirt on my lips. This day he had showered and i didn't leave much of a taste on my lips from what i remember. It was a plain taste, kind of like drinking water and not being able to identify it as anything else but water. In all Tasting a dog isn’t pleasant , But since kai showered he also had a slight taste of soap to his fur.
