Dogs shoot man on hunting trip
CHICAGO (AFP) — A pack of hunting dogs shot an Iowa man as he went to retrieve a fallen pheasant, authorities said.
James Harris, 37, was shot in the leg while hunting with some friends on Saturday afternoon.
The group shot a bird which landed on the other side of a fence, the Iowa Department of Natural Resource said in a press release.
"Harris reportedly went to retrieve the bird, placed his gun on the ground and crossed the fence near the muzzle end," the press release said.
"When he crossed the fence, hunting dogs stepped on the gun, which discharged and struck Harris in the left calf at a distance of roughly three feet."
Harris was treated at a regional medical center and later transported by helicopter to an Iowa City hospital.

Dog and People Etiquette
LIDOG has a lot of good information about dogs, pet etiquette, dog runs,etc. Here's a sample of the group's advice about using the town or county dog parks. Personally, we like the Coindre Hall site better than the one on West Hills Road one in Huntington but everyone has his favorites. We haven't tried any other parks. To read the full list of tips, go here.
by Ellen Rassiger
DO keep a regular collar WITH ID TAGS on your dog at all times, even at the park.
DO bring fresh water for your dog if there is none available (and be willing to share).
DO educate your fellow dog owners, politely and discreetly, if you see that their dog is wearing an inappropriate collar, or if they haven’t picked up after their dog.
DO make sure your dog is fully vaccinated and licensed before bringing her to the park.
DO keep your dog on leash until you reach the off-leash area.
DON'T bring your dog to an unfenced dog park if he/she must be kept on a leash for fear of running away.DON'T let your dog run in the dog park while wearing a choke chain OR prong collar.
DON'T bring small children to a dog park. They can easily be knocked down or injured by running dogs.
DON'T bring a dog to the dog park that has aggression issues toward other animals OR people. This is NOT the place to work on it!
DON'T allow your dog to stand and bark at the double-gate area when a new dog is coming in – it is polite to call your dog away so the new dog can enter with ease.

K-9 Death
Wow. I wonder how this happened or how this guy ever got to be on the K-9 unit in the first place.
Sergeant barred from unit after dog's death

Chandler police Sgt. Tom Lovejoy will serve a two-day suspension without pay and never work on the department's K-9 unit again, police announced Friday after an inquiry into the death of his K-9 partner, Bandit.
Chandler Police Chief Sherry Kiyler said in a statement that the suspension was for "conduct unbecoming and neglect of duty."
Bandit died in August after being left in a car for more than 12 hours.

Am I Crazy?
Does anyone, anyone at all, think this DeGeneres dog thing is a prank? OK, that's nuts, I know. Apparently, the shelter people could claim the dog because their name was on the dog's microchip. But what kind of screening did they do--did they not know that DeGeneres had cats?
Meantime, the folks at yourpurebredpuppy.com say that children and Brussels Griffons aren't a good mix, though I don't know if by children, they mean pre-teens.

Dog Run, Round XXXXIII
Dear fellow dog owners,
This Thursday, the Suffolk County Parks Board of Trustees will meet at Coindre Hall at 1 p.m. for the first time in almost two years. The last time the Parks Trustees met at Coindre Hall, several people from the surrounding neighborhood spoke out against the presence of dog owners and their dogs at Coindre Hall and asked the County to come up with a plan for dealing with the situation.
LI-DOG plans on attending the meeting this Thursday in order to respond to any complaints made by neighbors against dog owners at Coindre Hall. We also will reiterate LI-DOG's readiness to sit down with other park users to come up with a workable solution that will allow all of us to enjoy the park.
We are asking our fellow dog owners to:
Join us at 1 p.m. on Thursday to stand up for the right of dog owners to be at Coindre Hall!
Let the Parks Trustees know the presence of dog owners and their dogs have made Coindre Hall a SAFE county park
Let the Parks Trustees know the presence of dog owners and their dogs makes Coindre Hall a CLEAN county park. No other waterfront property is clean of goose droppings! And, we clean up after our dogs.
Let the Parks Trustees know that dog owners are willing to Share the Park and that we are ready to sit down with other park users to come up with a solution at Coindre Hall that works for everyone
- If you can't join us, please help us make sure that:
o The park is Clean on Thursday morning!
o Dogs are on-leash Thurs. from 1 until 4 p.m. while the Trustees meet
o There are no aggressive dogs in the park
o The park is free of excessive barking

Ellen DeGeneres under fire for giving away dog
By BETH HARRIS, Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES - Ellen DeGeneres is in the doghouse with a pet rescue agency after giving a pooch away to her hairdresser because it didn't get along with her cats.
The talk show hostess and her partner Portia de Rossi adopted Iggy, a Brussels Griffon mix, on Sept. 20. But when things didn't work out, DeGeneres gave the dog to her hairdresser.
In doing so, DeGeneres violated an agreement with the Mutts and Moms dog rescue agency by not informing them of the handoff.
When the agency called DeGeneres to ask about Iggy, she said she found another home for the dog. The agency sent a representative to the hairdresser's home Sunday and took the dog away.
DeGeneres went public about the situation Monday while taping an episode of her show to air Tuesday. She admitted she didn't read all the paperwork involving the adoption.
DeGeneres said she spent $3,000 having the dog neutered and trained to be with her cats. But the dog had too much energy and was too rambunctious, she told her television audience.
"I guess I signed a piece of paper that says if I can't keep Iggy, it goes back to the rescue organization, which is not someone's home, which is not a family," she said in a show transcript provided to The Associated Press.
"I thought I did a good thing. I tried to find a loving home for the dog because I couldn't keep it."
DeGeneres said her hairdresser's daughters, ages 11 and 12, had bonded with Iggy and were heartbroken when the dog was taken away.
"Because I did it wrong, those people went and took that dog out of their home, and took it away from those kids," a sobbing DeGeneres said on her show.
"I feel totally responsible for it and I'm so sorry. I'm begging them to give that dog back to that family," she said. "It's not their fault. It's my fault. I shouldn't have given the dog away. Just please give the dog back to those little girls."
Mutts and Moms, a volunteer nonprofit organization in Pasadena, does not have a listed phone number and didn't immediately respond to an e-mail request for comment.

Blog Action Day: Going Green
You wouldn't use these items directly on the dog--except for diluted vinegar to get rid of fleas--but all of these products work to clean around the dog's crate and floor to keep your pet healthy.
It’s time to get rid of the unhealthy cleaning products in the house and use such natural items as borax, distilled white vinegar, baking soda, salt, washing soda (sodium carbonate), also known as soda ash, and lemons. Note that most of these products are readily available. We had trouble finding Borax for a while. I went to seven supermarkets over a period of weeks, looking for Borax but was met by blank looks by the 20-somethings.
I did find one manager who knew what I was talking about but said that Borax, like other products, such as Brillo and Spic-and-Span, had pretty much disappeared. (Stop and Shop, in particular, seems determined to reduce the number products it offers).
Then, suddenly, Borax reappeared on the shelves of the Waldbaum’s store near me, so I’ve been scooping up the boxes as I can.
If it’s not available in your nearest store, try Soaps Gone Buy, which offers Twenty Mule Team Borax, Fels Naptha and other seemingly lost products.
If you need convincing that shifting to these products is a good idea, study the labels of your commercial soaps. One day, when I had an especially ugly, sticky spill on my kitchen floor, I used bleach and a little dish soap and immediately felt sickened by the fumes. It turned out that the dish soap contained ammonia, and mixing it with bleach is a terrible idea.
I was further surprised to discover ammonia in some shampoo! So read those labels or just switch; it’s easy.
Here are some uses:
Lemon juice: We’ve also used lemon to clean the inside of the car. I frequently found myself coughing hard in the car, especially when the heat came on. Just spraying the air didn’t help; we keep a lot of papers and clothing in the car for different reasons and so the air is frequently dusty from those items. So applying some lemon to clean off the dashboard, reaching into the air vents and sprinkling some baking soda and then vacuuming it up helped the air quality a lot.
It also can dissolve soap scum. We have hard water in our neighborhood and soap scum remains on the bathtub. It works well to remove it, especially if mixed with vinegar or baking soda. You can also let it soak in the kitchen sink and pour it down the drain to remove odors. It also works to clean the kitchen floor.
Borax: all kinds of cleaning: countertops, laundry, floors. Boosts cleaning of clothes—will definitely brighten your clothes. We didn’t realize how dingy our bed covers had gotten from the dog—we washed the covers, of course, and they looked fine. Then we used Borax to supplement laundry soap and things looked much, much better, almost new.
Baking soda: Use about a half cup of baking soda, followed by a half cup of vinegar, as a drain cleaner. Those over-the-counter drain cleaners are about as toxic as you can get in a household product. It’s far less abrasive than commercial products.
Hydrogen peroxide: mix with water, spray on grout and areas subject to mold; let sit for an hour and then wash off with water. Kills mold and germs.
Vinegar: We use this for all kinds of projects: we use a bit to clean the dishwasher to kill germs, to kill mold or mildew, as a fabric softener (add a little during the rinse cycle), countertops, kitchen and bathroom floors. There may be a strong smell when first used but it dries and the scent disappears very quickly. And the temporary smell is nothing compared to the odor of bleach or ammonia, and there’s no harm remaining from using it.

Squirrels Get Their Moment
Having falsely accused the squirrels of digging up the tulip bulbs when the energetic Lab was actually the guilty party, I thought I'd give the critters their own moment of glory. Thanks to my friend at Grey and Red
What should people know about squirrels and getting along with them?
A few simple things will do. Squirrels are wild animals. Cute as they may be as youngsters, and cute and clever as they may be as adults, they are not meant to be kept captive. It is not only illegal but inhumane. These are wild animals
built to live in the wild and they can get into more trouble in captive care because they are not designed for it.
Squirrels are best appreciated from a distance, even a short distance. True, some will approach you, take food from your hands and even sit on your lap (I've experienced this myself), but it's best not to encourage this kind of behavior. You could inadvertently get bitten and you might also get the squirrel accustomed to a kind of behavior not universally welcomed by humans. If, on the other hand, a juvenile squirrel ever approaches you unsolicited and climbs you, it is an almost definite sign the mother squirrel is dead or missing and the little one needs to be taken into the care of a rehabber. This is not normal behavior.
Always remember: squirrels are smart, photogenic, tough and beautiful.
And they are wild, through and through.

Dog vs. Cat for the Environment
I'll admit that I never thought about this issue before but obviously, some people have.
Cat or dog - which is the best choice for the planet?
EVERYONE knows the world is divided between cat people and dog people and that, to paraphrase Kipling, pups are pups and pussies are pussies and never the twain shall meet. But perhaps it is time we began choosing our pets on another basis altogether - the environment.

Dogs and the Garden
After about a week of blaming the ever-present squirrels for the disappearance of several tulip bulbs, guess what? The kid and the neighbor ratted out the dog. The bulbs have been moved out of her reach.
Oddly, she didn't seem interested in munching on the bulbs but the blood meal and freshly dug dirt certainly grabbed her attention.
Reporter Nzong Xiong of the Fresno Bee recommends keeping your dog's habits in mind when planting.

Fatal Pit Bull Attack
This happened today in Florida
Middleburg woman killed by her pet pit bulls
By Alice Wallace
Sun staff writer
A Middleburg woman died Tuesday after she was attacked by her own pet pit bulls, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office. Tina Marie Canterbury, 42, was fatally attacked by her two pit bulls around 8 a.m. Tuesday, and both dogs were later killed by police when they continued to be aggressive, according to Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Mary Justino.
The attack occurred at Canterbury's home, at 2445 Cosmos Road in Middleburg. Justino reported that the pit bulls apparently attacked the woman while she was alone in the yard, and then once family members came outside and found her injured, the dogs prevented the family from providing aid.
Canterbury's son, Christopher Canterbury, 21, received minor injuries when one of the dogs bit him while he was trying to reach his mother, and a family friend finally scared the dogs away by firing shots from a handgun, Justino reported.
The first deputy to arrive on scene Tuesday shot one of the dogs when it tried to attack him. The other dog remained loose in the neighborhood for about two hours before it was located and killed by Sheriff's Office personnel, Justino reported.
