Hair Loss in Dogs: Is it Normal or Atypical? Resources Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Introduction Some breeds of dogs are prone to hair loss. Greyhounds for example. See "Daz" above on the front page. Can you see how bald he is going on the top and the inside of his back legs and his belly? He might look a bit odd but he is a happy chap and perfectly healthy. Whilst greyhounds are subject to hair loss, and dog can lose hair for any number of reasons. It's not uncommon, has many causes and can generally be treated. What we will take a look at on this web site are some of the causes, symptoms and treatment of dog hair loss. Please remember that this web site is for informational purposes and to ALWAYS consult a vet if you are concerned about your dog's health A note of thanks to "Daz" for his inspiration. Hair loss in humans is seen by some as devastating from a vanity point of view. Others, however, do not have a problem with it. For humans, hair loss is often associated with genetics and is not linked to illness – although, of course, sometimes it is. In dogs, hair loss can, indeed, be a result of poor health and can signal illness. Usually, it offers a red flag to dog owners, warning them that there is an underlying condition and that veterinary intervention is probably required. On the following pages we will take a look at hair loss in dogs, some of the possible causes and some prevention/treatment tips. Be advised that this ebook is not intended as any form of substitution for professional veterinary advice. It is for informational purposes only. If you are in any way concerned about the health of your dog it is suggested you consult with your vet. Save Money Making Your Own Dog Toys! Learn How To Keep It Safe! Turn Trash Into Hours of Fun!

These are similar to human allergy sufferers. Food, pollen and dust produce allergies that can lead to hair loss in dogs. Flea bite is another common allergy in dogs. Rather than the dog being allergic to the actual flea, it is the saliva that the dog reacts to. Food allergies are often indicated by itching, hair loss and the licking of their feet. The itching can also result in infection as a result of relentless scratching. Other allergies arise from substances in the atmosphere (such as pollen) and environment (such as household cleaning products or rubber). Hereditary Causes. Genetic inheritance to specific conditions can also be a cause of hair loss in dogs. Some of these conditions include Black Hair Follicular where puppies lose their dark hair. Another inherited condition that causes hair loss is Color Dilution/Mutant Alopecia. This occurs at about six months of age, and the blue and fawn colored hair is lost. Pituitary Dwarfism, a condition that interferes with the normal development of the dog, also causes hair loss. Parasites. Another nasty cause of hair loss in dogs is that of parasites, such as fleas or mites. Fleas enjoy moist and warm conditions and, with the use of indoor heating, the perfect environmental conditions exist for infestation. If your dog has an allergy to fleas, the symptoms can be far more problematic. There are many products on the market that interfere with the lifecycle of the flea. All bedding, floors and yards should also be treated to eradicate infestations. Mite is another parasite that causes hair loss in dogs. Mite produces mange and three types include: Sarcoptic, Demodectic, and Cheyletiellosis. The mites responsible for Sarcoptic mange do not bury themselves as deeply under the dog's skin as the Demodex mite, so treatment is easier. Demodectic mange is most likely in those dogs that have a low immune system. It is more difficult to rid as the mites bury themselves deeper under the skin. Hair loss, redness, scales, pustules and legions are common signs that your dog might have mange. It is necessary, however, to see a veterinarian who will use skin scrapings to confirm if it is mites. Stress and Poor Diet. Psychological abuse and stress can also cause hair loss in a dog, as well as poor nutrition. There are many causes of hair loss in dogs. Often the symptoms provide a way of determining what the cause might be. In some cases, it is possible to remedy the situation yourself with just diet or eradication of causation factors, such as not using household chemicals. In other cases, it is necessary to visit your local veterinarian who can determine what the actual problem is. Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. The Allergic Dog and Hair Loss. Allergies not only afflict humans; they also affect our four-legged furry friends. Humankind's best friend – the dog – also succumbs to the dreaded allergy. In dogs, these allergies can be associated with hair loss, whilst the causes can be vast and many. From household chemicals to certain foods, allergies in dogs can cause havoc. Sometimes, eradication of these allergies is completely beyond the control of the owner; in other cases, it is not. Whatever the reason, it is firstly necessary to pinpoint the cause of the allergy and devise a solution. Allergies in Dogs Can Be Vast and Many Some of the following types of allergies exist in dogs and can result in hair loss. Flea Allergies. Many dog owners are familiar with flea bite allergies. This type of allergy occurs as a result of hypersensitivity to flea saliva. Itching and hair loss are often a consequence of this allergy. Even if your own residence is not contaminated, it takes one flea bite and the dog's heightened sensitivity swings into motion. Another reason your dog might experience flea allergies despite coming from a pest-free residence is due to the cat. Cats often do the rounds and, in their travels, bring home all sorts of visitors, including fleas. Food Allergies. Often identified as a human condition, food allergies also afflict our beloved pets. Some common signs your dog has a food allergy are: itching and hair loss; feet licking; swollen ears; and, infection. As with humans, food allergies in dogs are very individualized and could be unique to your pet. It is especially difficult to pinpoint the foods that cause these reactions as we often feed them little tidbits from our own meals. Some common types of foods that cause allergies in dogs include: lamb, beef, chicken, soy products, wheat, milk, and preservatives and additives. Much like the human hunt for allergies, elimination of suspected foods is a helpful way of sourcing the culprit. Allergies from Inhaling. Similar to humans and hayfever, dogs can negatively react to pollens or dust mites. Also known as Atopy, the symptoms of this type of allergy are similar to that presented above, such as itching, hair loss, licking of feet and swollen ears. Irritant Allergies. These are caused when your dog comes into contact with a range of environmental substances. They can include such materials as metals, plastics, rubber and chemicals. Allergy symptoms in the dog can include inflamed skin, blisters/bumps on the skin and itching. Hair loss can also result from exposure to these irritants. Whatever the allergy and severity of hair loss, there are solutions out there to help your family pet. There are many products on the market to reduce your dog's suffering. If the hair loss is associated with a type of food allergy, it is important that you act on your pet's behalf. Allergies do have the potential to make your pet's life miserable. Remember, dogs are unable to eradicate the food themselves or visit the local veterinarian for diagnosis. Although it might take time and patience, it is possible for you to locate the source of the hair loss and, in most cases, provide a solution.

When hair loss occurs in dogs, it can be a time of worry and apprehension for the pet owner. The reasons for hair loss can be unclear, creating further concern for the owner. Associated symptoms can also be painful and distressing for the dog. If owners are concerned about irregular amounts of hair loss or notice unusual patterns of loss, it is important diagnosis be conducted as soon as possible. One cause of hair loss in dogs is due to hereditary reasons. Hereditary conditions are those genetic situations that are passed down from parent to offspring. If you notice hair loss in your dog and any of the following symptoms, an inherited condition might be responsible: Your puppy begins to lose black/dark hair between the ages of three to six weeks. This is a hereditary condition in dogs with multi-colored coats. The condition is associated with such breeds as Bearded Collies, Basset Hounds, Beagles and Dachshunds. This condition is known as Black hair follicular dysplasia/alopecia/dystrophy. Your dog loses blue and fawn colored hair. This happens at approximately six months of age and is linked to such breeds as Great Danes, Greyhounds, Whippets, Doberman and Dachshunds. The cause of this is known as Color dilution/mutant alopecia. Your puppy experiences delays in development and does not lose its puppy coat as it matures. Eventually, a large part of the dog's surface area will lose its hair. This condition can be a result of an ineffective pituitary gland and a lack of certain hormones. This condition is known as Pituitary Dwarfism. Another condition in which some hair loss may be experienced, and can be an inherited condition, also produces scaling, an odor and scratching results. It occurs where the hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and external skin layer are hyperproductive. It is seen in such breeds as: the American cocker spaniel; West Highland white terrier; English springer spaniel; and, Basset hound. Dogs with this condition can display such signs as oiliness, scales and a nasty odour. There could be scratching, and hair loss may occur. These signs can indicate a condition known as Seborrhea. Hair loss in dogs can be due to hereditary conditions. The causes of hair loss can be passed down in a dog's genes, similar to humans inheriting diseases and illnesses. In such cases, the disease is not a consequence of the owner's actions. However, getting to the source of the problem and locating treatments is certainly the pet owner's responsibility. Upon identifying unusual hair loss in your dog, professional help should be sought. It could very well end up to be a harmless condition that might require an easy solution. On the other hand, it might indicate a more serious illness, one that if noticed and attended to early, could save the dog pain and suffering.

Even if we don't completely understand what it is, just its spoken word is enough to make us cringe. In this respect we are not far off. Mange is a terrible condition that can cause hair loss in dogs. It is a result of the mighty mite. The mite is such a small creature but responsible for so much. Mites burrow below the dog's skin and can create all sorts of problems. Mange is the "various persistent contagious skin diseases marked especially by eczematous inflammation and loss of hair, affecting domestic animals or sometimes humans, and caused by a minute parasitic mite" (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, 2009). There are various types of mange that can cause hair loss in dogs. Types of Mange: 1. Sarcoptic Mange. The signs are severe itching, hair loss and scaling. This type of mange is caused by the Sarcoptes mite and spreads like wild fire. But because it does not bury itself as deep as other types of mites, it is not the most feared. Dogs can be infected easily by Sarcoptes mite and successful treatment is quite straightforward. Treatment involves isolating the dog, cleaning bedding and the surrounding environment, and various other treatments for parasites. 2. Demodectic Mange. Is a result of infection by the Demodex mite — a naturally occurring mite in dogs. This type of mange is more difficult to deal with, as these types of mites bury themselves quite a way under the skin. These mites attack hair follicles and can cause hair loss, redness and scaliness. Pustules and legions can occur. The lower the immune system of the dog, the more likely it is to be impacted by this type of mange. It is also known as red mange or puppy mange. Depending upon the infection and the symptoms, treatment can range from a medicated shampoo to antibiotics to anti-parasitic drugs. 3. Cheyletiellosis Mange. This type of mange is commonly referred to as "walking dandruff" because the mites carry the skin scales of their host, such as the dog. As with the other mite infections, symptoms can include severe itching, scaliness and hair loss. Generally, the treatment is a pesticide applied to the affected area. If you notice hair loss in your dog, there is a possibility that it could be caused from mange. The problem with diagnosing this condition, however, is actually discovering whether it is mange or another type of problem with similar symptoms. There are also a number of other conditions that mimic the signs of mange, such as flea or food allergies. Skin scrapings and examination under a microscope by a veterinarian often determine whether the culprit is mite and what type of mite it is. Mites can produce harmful effects on dogs. They create mange, and the impacts that they have upon the skin and hair loss can be unsightly and cause discomfort for the dog. If left unattended, the consequences can be quite severe. It is necessary that pet owners, who fear that their dog may have mite, see a professional. Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Avoid the Fleabag: Hair Loss in Dogs and Flea Prevention. We are all familiar with the term 'fleabag'. It is not used in a positive light. If referring to a human as a fleabag, it is more likely connected with negative connotations. Following on from this, it is no surprise that fleas are highly despised and are parasitic. Whilst we might think that a few fleas on a dog are harmless, this could not be furtherer from the truth. Fleas and Allergy Dermatitis Fleas are parasites. As such, they require a host to live and, in return, cause harm to their host. To lay eggs and survive, female fleas need fresh blood. In regards to allergy dermatitis as a result of a flea bite, it is not the flea itself that creates the reaction; it is the flea's saliva. Once bitten, dogs with flea allergies relentlessly scratch, bite and gnaw at the flea bitten area. This reaction can last many days, and the itching can result in infections. Prevention and Lifecycle of a Flea To prevent flea infestation and potential hair loss in your dog, it is necessary to possess knowledge of the lifecycle of a flea. Breaking the flea's lifecycle assists in winning the fight against flea infestation, and it also leads to a more relaxed, happier, and less itchy pet. Half of the flea's lifecycle is spent in the egg stage. Only five percent is spent as an adult; thirty-five percent as larva; and, ten percent as pupa (cocoon). As such, just eradicating the adult is probably not going to make a dent in the infestation. The dog owner must find methods of eradicating as many parts of the lifecycle as possible. Because the adult fleas are present on the dog and ninety-five percent of the flea's lifecycle is not as an adult, prevention must include treating the environment in which the dog and flea live. That is, if just the animal in question is treated (e.g. flea shampoo), the dog owner will see no change in flea numbers and irritation. It is important that bedding and the floor is treated. Vacuuming and washing is vital. There are a myriad of products on the market that assist the dog owner in getting rid of fleas, such as: destroying adult fleas; preventing the flea from developing into adulthood (only works if the flea is out of its cocoon); and, treatments that prevent eggs from hatching. Once the flea problem is under control, dog owners can only then really being to address the issue of hair loss. The cause of the allergy should be eradicated. The good news is that there are many treatments on the market. Finding the one that is right for you and your dog is the responsible thing to do.

Treating Hair Loss in Dogs. At the very least, hair loss in dogs can be unsightly. At its worst, it can signal a severe underlying and life-threatening illness. Diagnosis by a veterinarian is required and treatments can range from straightforward to complex. Whatever the condition and its solution, it is the pet owner's responsibility to do right by the dog. Your pet depends on you to ease any pain and suffering it might be experiencing. Treatment Types Mange in dogs is a result of mite infestation and leads to hair loss. There are various types of mange and there are a variety of treatments. Topical lotions, oral pills, medicated shampoos and injections are some forms of treatment for mange that can be recommended by your local veterinarian. Allergies are another cause of hair loss in dogs. Like humans, antihistamines are used to alleviate allergies in dogs. Unlike humans, however, antihistamines are not as successful in combating allergies in dogs. Shampoos and lotions can be used to sooth the skin, whilst anti-inflammatory treatments and tranquilizers are also employed. Sometimes, Elizabethan collars can be used to prevent scratching already irritated areas. Cortisone sprays or creams can also be used. Although, this is a last resort as the side effects are quite significant. The actual diet that is fed or not fed to a dog can also affect its health and cause it to lose hair. As mentioned above, food allergies are one such reason dogs constantly itch and lose hair. A poor diet can be just as harmful as an excessive diet. Poor nutrition – either by underfeeding or inadequate nutrients – can cause hair loss and flaking skin. Essential fatty acids and protein can remediate these problems. Fleas are also a common problem many pet owners suffer through. The life cycle of a flea means that the most effective treatment needs to target every stage of a flea's life. There are powders and shampoos available. The most effective treatment is that of the flea-control medicines that pet owners apply at a point or couple of points on the animal's skin. The application moves throughout the body oils of the dog and once the flea comes into contact with the hair follicle, death occurs within 24 hours. The best part about this type of medication is fleas do not need to bite the host to be affected. As such, allergies, which are caused from flea saliva, do not occur. Once again, like humans, dogs also suffer from stress and anxiety. Sometimes this stress manifests itself in biting and chewing. It can be a result of boredom or perhaps situations, such as separation anxiety. Whatever the reason, hair loss can result and infection can follow. There are many avenues pet owners have to remedy this situation. Prevent boredom with toys or additional playmates. You could try exercising or feeding your pet prior to leaving it for the day. As are there many reasons for hair loss in dogs, there are many treatments. The cause of hair loss in dogs may be easily remedied or require more time and patience. In many cases, however, it is wise to consult a veterinarian as soon as hair loss is identified. Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Hair Loss in Dogs and Food Allergy Treatment. Human sufferers of food allergies are not ignorant to the considerable damage that this condition inflicts. In dogs, however, food allergies can be difficult to imagine and hard to diagnose. One sign of food allergy in dogs is that of hair loss. Food allergies in dogs are responsible for about one tenth of all dog allergies. This can result in constant scratching and lead to infections. Food allergies are different to food intolerance. That is, allergies cause itching and skin problems, whilst intolerance refers to the dog's inability to handle certain food types and the body expels it. Dog Allergies and Hair Loss: Culprit Foods; the Elimination Test; and Identifiers In the case of food allergies in dogs, it essentially comes down to removing foods and working out the offender. Beef, chicken and dairy are often amongst the top foods that produce allergy in dogs. Wheat, corn and soy are also responsible for food allergies that lead to hair loss in dogs. Prior to conducting such tests, it is necessary to work out if the hair loss and other symptoms are actually a result of food allergies or not. There are a myriad of conditions that exist that have similar symptoms to that of the food allergy in a dog and aren't easily identified (such as parasites and inherited conditions). Some indications that your dog may be suffering a food allergy include: Persistent problems with the dog's ears. Puppies that have well developed skin problems. Experiencing allergies non-stop throughout the year. Relentless scratching. A suggested technique of sourcing the food that is causing food allergy and hair loss in your dog is that of using homemade diets. This is because store bought foods contain hidden constituents and specific preservatives and chemicals. If, as the pet owner, you are lucky enough to notice immediate results, then the culprit is an ingredient in the store food and you have already solved the problem. It is often recommended that the elimination test to ascertain food allergies in dogs involve one part protein, two parts carbohydrate and the rest water. You can start with this recipe and work your way through the various proteins. The biggest issue with conducting this elimination technique at home is preventing the dog from acquiring food from other sources. It is also recommended that after you believe you have sourced the cause of the allergy, give your dog its original food and note deterioration. This is necessary as it may not have been the culprit food and relief could have just been coincidence. Food allergies in dogs can be confused for other conditions that show the same symptoms, such as itching and hair loss. They can also be difficult to pinpoint via the elimination technique. This, however, is exactly what the pet owner must do. The good news is that finding the food source that causes allergies is doable, and remedying the itching and hair loss in your dog is achievable. It just requires patience. Doesn't your dog deserve that? Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Homemade Solutions to Prevent and Remedy Hair Loss in Dogs. Hair loss in dogs can be just as stressful for the owner as the affected dog. Often the visual reminder is enough to create stress in the pet owner. There are, however, flow-on effects of hair loss that also lead to pain and discomfort in the dog. Hair loss in dogs is often associated with itching as a result of a number of situations (such as fleas, mange, allergies). It is the relentless itching that not only causes hair loss but also infection. There are many solutions on the market for hair loss in dogs. It is advisable to see a veterinarian as soon as possible to gain diagnosis and treatment. There are also a number of homemade remedies that are reported to be effective when treating hair loss. Proceed with caution whenever using natural remedies. Consult a veterinarian if you have any concerns or find them ineffective. Also, sometimes homemade solutions can actually add to, or worsen, the situation. Homemade Remedies and Solutions The following provides some homemade remedies and solutions. Many are not scientifically proven. Fresh garlic and brewer's yeast in your dog's diet wards off fleas and ticks. Supplement your dog's food with Flaxseed Oil. It is full of Omega 3 which decreases dry skin, itching and hair loss. Baking soda and water will soothe itchy skin. Goldenseal – a perennial herb – is used as an anti-inflammatory and to heal infections. The use of oatmeal shampoo soothes skin and alleviates itching. Homemade diets, as opposed to commercially bought dog food, can eliminate foods that cause allergies and hair loss, such as beef, chicken, dairy, wheat, corn and soy. Petroleum Jelly soothes itchy and dry skin. Epsom salts soothes itchy skin. Thiamine, citronella and rosemary are said to control fleas. Borax spread on carpet is also a suggested cure as a natural flea bomb. Be careful, borax is also very poisonous. Natural flea sprays can be made out of chamomile, licorice and witch hazel. Use Aloe Vera to soothe skin and prevent further itching and hair loss. There are many natural remedies recommended for dealing with conditions associated with hair loss in dogs. These solutions can: prevent the cause of the problem (such as fleas or food); soothe the skin and prevent further irritation; and/or prevent infection. It isparticularly important to note that many of these remedies, although sworn by, have not been tested for effectiveness. If you have concern over your dog's hair loss, it is better to keep on the side of caution and visit your local veterinarian. Natural remedies should be approached carefully as sometimes they can aggravate the condition further. Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Hair Loss in Your Dog: No Itching? Hair loss in dogs is not an unusual occurrence. It is only natural. However, when the pattern of hair loss in your dog becomes abnormal, it is time to take action. We are instantly alerted to the constant scratching. It is a sign telling us something is wrong. For our dog, incessant itching can signify a number of serious and not so serious conditions. In contrast to abnormal levels of itching, the dog may experience hair loss without scratching. We might just one day notice unusual patterns of hair loss. Unlike the relentless itching, which is like a flashing red light to warn the pet owner, hair loss without the scratching can be unexpected and come as quite a shock. There are a number of conditions where dogs may experience hair loss without scratching. Localized Demodectic Mange. In this condition, hair loss is not associated with itching. It mostly occurs in puppies; is often seen around the face and front leg area; and often rights itself within the first eight weeks. Sometimes, however, it does not rectify itself, and the localized type turns into the generalized type of demodectic manage. It can spread over the body and, in such instances; there is a propensity towards bacterial infection. Fungal Infection. Ringworm, a type of fungus, does not make the dog itch, but it does cause hair loss in the affected area. The fungus deteriorates the hair shaft and consequently the hair snaps. Ringworm is spread through contract with another animal or object that has also been in contact with an infected animal. Alopecia Areata. There is no itching associated with this condition. The patterns of hair loss occur mostly around the head, neck and body. There is a single patch of hair loss. It can be reversible or permanent. Parts of the hair follicle are attacked and the dog's hair shaft is destroyed. Rabies Vaccine Hair Loss. This condition is occasionally experienced in small breeds of dogs (mostly). Changes in pigmentation, as well as hair loss, can also occur. The symptoms often appear within six months of vaccination. It can right itself or can spread throughout the body. Excessive scratching in dogs can tell us that something is wrong. Often this scratching leads to hair loss and possible secondary infection. Sometimes, however, the dog does not experience itching and hair loss can occur anyway. At times owners can diagnose by sight (e.g. ringworm) or by having background knowledge of the dog (e.g. recently vaccinated). Other times, however, it remains a mystery. It is necessary to consult your local veterinarian as soon as possible in all cases. Hair loss in dogs can signal serious illness or can spread to create further conditions. Copyright: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk | All rights reserved. Hair Loss in Dogs: Is it Normal or Atypical? You notice hair loss in your dog. You wonder whether it is normal or is there something more sinister at work. Different dogs have different types of coats and experience different patterns of hair growth and loss. Some dogs lose more hair than others, but you are still left wondering if what you pet is experiencing is normal. Hair growth and loss in dogs is cyclical. There are three stages in the hair growth cycle: Anagen stage. This is where the hair goes through a period of growth. There is growth in the hair roots which increases hair shaft. Catagen stage. This is a temporary phase prior to the next stage beginning. Telogen stage. This refers to the phase where the hair cycle is resting. In more cases than not, Telogen is the main phase. Shedding or hair loss in dogs is not predicable. The patterns are a result of a number of different influences, such as the environmental surrounds, genetics and diet. Some reasons for hair loss in dogs are: Hormones. These can either encourage or retard the growth of hair in dogs. Androgens. Are responsible for a longer resting stage in the hair growth cycle and create courser hair. Progesterone. Similar to Androgens but reduce hair growth. Estrogen. Produces a longer resting stage and the consequence is fine, sparse follicles. Insulin. Diabetes can cause hair loss. Thyroid Hormone. A lack of thyroxin often causes hair loss. Hair loss in dogs is also affected by diet-related issues, such as: Lack of protein. The hair becomes dry, and is fragile and sparse. B Vitamins. Required for healthy hair growth. Copper. Also necessary for proper hair growth. The patterns of hair loss in a dog can also assist identification as to what the actual reason for hair loss is and the most effective treatment. That is, the three patterns that help to identify conditions associated with hair loss include: Localized hair loss. This is when there is just a single patch of hair loss. This can be due to injections, post-clipping and fungal infections. Multifocal hair loss. This particular pattern looks like a moth has eaten through cloth. It is patchy and can appear all over the skin. Symmetrical or diffuse. There is either a symmetrical pattern to the hair loss or it is scattered over the entire body. A certain amount of hair loss in dogs is quite normal. Sometimes, large quantities of hair loss in dogs can be common. Depending upon the breed, environmental conditions and diet, dogs vary significantly with the amount of hair they lose. If concerned about your pet's hair loss and unsure as to whether it is abnormal, it is important to have knowledge of the three main stages of the hair growth cycle; some of the reasons hair growth can be affected; and, the different patterns of hair loss in dogs to look out for. If at all concerned that it is not normal or usual, consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. The hair loss could signal something more grave than just seasonal hair loss.

Alan Akerman * had been putting the final touches to his plans for New Year's Eve in Dubai. With his wife and six friends, they would head to the Burj Khalifa early in the afternoon on December 31st, in the hope of claiming a prime spot for what was being billed as the greatest fireworks display in history, to take place on the stroke of midnight.
Akerman never made it to the Burj Khalifa, but had his fair share of fireworks hours earlier. "I heard rumours about 10am, and then saw it on various websites. To be honest, I was in a state of shock, trying to work out what this will mean for us, not just today, but for many years to come."
Akerman, like thousands of other expats in the emirate, had recently been finalising the purchase of his dream home in Dubai, a three-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina for $630,000. With his wife, he had spent the last few years saving the 20 percent deposit required, with his bank agreeing to mortgage the rest.
But a UAE Central Bank circular issued on 30 December changed all that, capping mortgages for expatriates to 50 percent of the value of the property for the first home and to 40 percent for the second.
"For us the equation is simple. I now need to find $315,000 to buy my house, rather than $126,000. I don't have that kind of money. I never will. The deal is off," he says.
Deal off for Akerman, but it may still be game on for the real estate sector. Long term, the destructive property cycle of boom and bust may have finally been quashed. With fewer buyers on the market, the rental sector is set to benefit, and investors may also focus on lower priced properties, giving that sector a much needed boost. And if the central bank has been modelling its decision on similar moves in Hong Kong and Lebanon, then it could signal a historic turning point in the real estate industry — for the better.
The roots of the decision lie, of course, in Dubai's astonishing white-knuckle ride in the final years of the last decade. After a law was passed in 2002 that allowed foreigners to own property in certain areas of the city, investors and end-users entered the market in earnest, buying up large tracts of what was — at the time — cheap housing.
Between 2006 and 2008, the property market soared. As government money poured into ever more grandiose projects, queues building up outside developer sales offices became a common sight. Flippers — the short-term investors who bought up off-plan properties and sold them on for as much as 20 percent profit in a matter of hours — made millions of dirhams on properties that only existed on an architect's drawing board.

Customer Service Representative Interview
The process took 4 days – interviewed at Wyndham Worldwide in July 2009.
The phone interview was conducted by an office assistant who transcribed my answers. The questions were pretty standard: "Describe a scenario where you were challenged in your last job", "Describe a situation where you faced a disgruntled customer", "Describe a scenario where you had to learn a new skill set on the job".
The one-on-one interview was conducted by the manager of the department. It was more of a conversation than an interview. We talked about things we had in common, the weather, and then got into details about the job. He described the traffic of customers based on the night and the season. He explained the hours and the need for open availability.
Once the interview was concluded the manager said I'd be hearing from them soon and they called me on my drive home to offer me the position pending a drug test taken that day.

Thank you Sheriff Thomas and the Pike County Sheriff's Office!

Does this mean his arrest will NOT be followed by the old familiar phrase, less than an ounce of marijuana? If so...he gets the prize!
I think they should make him learn all the words to Colorado's state song "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Bob Dylan,and "The Time is Wrong" by Tickle Me Pink." Then write 500 times:
I will not take Ambien before I drive because I can't remember.
I must have dreamed I saw a sign that
Welcomed me to Denver.
Then, let him go, take the marijuana, send it to Colorado to trade for the oil that children need for seizures. The USA is so intelligent in some ways and backward in others. Anyone who believes that it is illegal because they are concerned that someone will get addicted, is already smoking it.
Because, you don't know anyone addicted to pain pills, right?

A second Thank You Sheriff Thomas and the Pike County Sheriff's Office. I'm still trying to understand comments made in the front page article "Molena PD back in action" (March 5, 2014 PJR). Guess that means someone found the telephone number for the PCSO, easy to remember 911. It also indicates "slow response from Pike an assumption that sheriff Thomas only co-operated during election years and he simply did not like Molena." "Slow response time?" Molena is open only 24 hours per week, need law enforcement, call Molena City Hall and get a recording, call 911 and a PCSO deputy appears like magic. Now remember a local "resident did scare off two persistent peddlers." Like to see the MPD blotter on that one and no the peddlers were not on the FBI or Interpol 10 most wanted list. The Mall manager said without the MPD would cause EXTRA fear in locating a shop in Molena (he should check out the vacant building the General Store operated for a short period of time and that was with a MPD.) Here is a good one, Bank President said, "drug addicts like free money." Duh huh?? Just park one of the MPD blacked out vehicles in front of the bank (that will scare the Hell out of free money addicts.)
Records show the population on Molena @ 377 with a land area of 1.74 sq. miles. 93 signatures generated by the antique store in favor of keeping the MPD, does the manager of the antique store live in Molena? 93 signatures is more than the total of votes cast in the last election for a non-relative of the Molena Council. Were the signatures verified? One of those councilmen said, "most of our annual budget comes from fines collected via traffic court which totaled $20,000 last year." That has to be true because "Georgia's Speed Trap Cities" list Molena as so does AAA Travel Club.
Wonder how much the City of Concord collected? Concord isn't that city open 5 days per week? Seems Sheriff Thomas, the top law enforcer having jurisdiction of all Pike County patrols Concord (they have no police department).
Last question. Outsider Griffin attorney Virgina Church does she work for the City of Concord?
I am not in favor of a black shinny military tank being added to the MPD motor pool. They are too slow, noisy and not economical.

some beautiful decorations
I am loving the WIDE mesh ribbon I'm seeing so much this year. I think its so pretty on trees and in garlands. I bought a silver mesh and used it on my living-room mantel garland. Haven't taken good
photos yet but will soon.
Meanwhile, last night I really enjoyed the decor of a blogger named Sheila, at notesongs.blogspot so
I emailed her and asked if I could save her photos in our inspiration albums. I told her about our albums and our forum. She responded this morning saying I could use any of her photos I wanted. I'm so glad.
I've put her tree, her GORGEOUS mantel, and her front door in our albums. But thought I'd share them
here with you too. I wish I could do a mantel loaded like this. But besides lacking the talent for something this grand, both my mantels are REALLY narrow and not easy to decorate. :o(
She used left over mesh for her front door garland and a pair of wreaths. Very pretty!
hugs, Karen
GORGEOUS!!! Yep, my guess is that she has the garland tied in some way...no way it would stay there otherwise. And the way to get that "fat" garland is to layer it...use two greenery ones for the width, then lavishly attach the berries, ornies, etc. It's all about going overboard to get the look. But, it is certainly beautiful!
Lots of people have used those command hooks. I have a client that uses those hooks for tons of heavy stuff with no issues. No drilling into the woodwork and they come off easily when you're done. I almost wanted to use them this year for my mantle garland, but already had holes for my nails so I just used those. Quite possibly the mantle pictured above is just secured well on the sides with nails or hooks and some wire with the center left hanging without any extra support.
If you have a narrow mantle you can still get a full garland up there. You'll probably want to swag the garland a bit in the center and make sure you have something to anchor the sides (hooks/nails). If you don't have room for something like a chunky candlestick to visually anchor the sides, just use a bow. You can buy just one regular garland and then fill it with greenery (I especially love boxwood and/or ferns). You could stop there with a natural look or at this point add all the ribbons and decor to fill in. Pinecones are awesome as most are lightweight and make great fillers...also love the texture they add. UGH, hope that wasn't too much info... I was so tired of decorating and now all of a sudden I'm itching to go and everything has been done.
Bleigh, come on over!!!
Thanks for the information, I am saving it. For one thing, I've not tried the command hooks and probably should. But the one time I tried "loading" my mantel...with Fall garland...it just looked awful. I am not sure my are good enough. LOL.
Marlene, you're welcome to come help too. ;o) Actually last year I did double the garland on both my mantels and liked the look of it that way. This year I just didn't have the energy or enthusiasm to do more and took the easy way out in most of my decorating.
hugs, Karen
I emailed Sheila and asked her about the garland, she is so sweet and responded right away with this about it...
" my mantel is about 9 - 10 inches deep. I place a nail in the very center of my mantel on the edge and one at each end toward the brick. My garland is really two garlands twisted together. I just take one of the wired ends and wrap it around and around the nails and then take another wired end and wrap! The garland itself is kinda heavy but the decorations are just picks so they don't make it heavier.
Hope this helps.
Shelia ;)

Heath Herring calls out Dana and Zuffa
'I really don't care too much for them and i don't think they care too much for me(Dana White and the UFC ownership group)……They've got their guys they want to push, guys they want to market.Randy Couture ,Frank Mir , Brock Lesnar are guys they want to market and push.The problem is if you are not one of the guys they want to push they keep you out of competition.I'm trying to make money and feed my family and these guys are trying to do everything to make it impossible for me.' He went on to say that it was more worth his while at the moment to look out for number 1 and that he is making more money from movie roles.
Herring hasn't fought since his loss to current HW champ Brock Lesnar and he blames his absence from the octagon mainly on Dana White and Zuffa. The question I have on this situation is ; Is Heath just in his bashing of the UFC heads or is he just looking to pass the buck?

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 9th March – Emma Watson He for She and Farage's Tweet
Good morning, here are today's Likes and Fails! Emma Watson spends International Women's Day discussing gender equality issues and Nigel Farage sent a stupid tweet and got stupid answers.
Emma Watson has been at it again, speaking out for women's rights, this time she participated in a live web chat on Sunday 8th March, appropriately International Women's Day. She hosted the live chat on Facebook and took time to answer some questions that women from around the world had sent in following her call a week earlier. Facebook helped to host the event and helped to stream the event to thousands. Greg James volunteered to help present and act as interviewer for the discussion about women's rights.
You can watch the first part of this interview on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1032777126741177
Nigel Farage, a man possibly never to grace the likes section of our blog has been making a bit of an idiot of himself on Twitter. The politician posted a photograph of himself on Twitter and asked the public if they could name what was behind him in the picture. Of course the sarcastic comments came rolling in, though a lot of them were more straight up rude than sarcastic.
The best sarcastic answer I saw was 'The Sea, dumbass'. Though many made a mockery of what he decided to wear comparing his outfit to that of Mr Toad from the Wind in the Willows. Another great response was 'your best years'. All hilarious. Politicians should really learn to think before they post on Twitter. Though, I'm sure they all expect it nowadays.

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 24th February – 6 year old boy gets Facebook party & Feminist banning on Instagram
Here are today's Likes and Fails!
A mother was so upset after she arranged a Birthday party for her 6 year old with autism and no children showed up she turned to Facebook. She had invited 16 children from her son's class, but no kids, or realistically none of their parents took them to the party. Naturally you don't want your child to spend their sixth Birthday alone so a mother posted in a local community group urging anyone who could come by that day to celebrate her boy's birthday with him and boy did they turn up. Eventually 16 kids showed up to the party and not only that the local services, like the police and the firemen showed up and let the boy try out the fire truck. They even brought him lots of toys for presents.
See Facebook isn't always bad.
An Instagram account called 'feminists on Tinder has been removed and suspended and feminists are not happy about it. Th account shares messages that a female Tinder user has had with male users on the site about feminism. The account does not violate guidelines but has been removed from the site twice. bviously a lot of people wanted to know why the account had been banned and started the hashtag #wewillnotbesilenced to help discover Instagrams reasoning and also to hopefully get the account reinstated. For some reason Instagram has not yet commented. Clearly not all about equal rights. What a big fat fail.

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails- 18th February – Video special
Posted in: Fail Like Likes and Fails News Online Social Media Video YouTube
Here are today's Likes and Fails, and today we have a video special. Ooooh! The first video takes a look at dating on Tinder for the over 80s and the second is a funny fail video of a man ashamed he's going to watch Fifty Shades of Grey.
Tinder is so hot right now. Seriously. I can't go a day without seeing some sort of article about it online, or some male work-mates showing me something on it. I guess the women are more quiet about their tinder escapades. I actually even saw an article today saying that Tinder had reached a peak usage on Valentine's Day this year. So this video comes bang at the right time, the video is about a Grandfather on Tinder. Yes, it veils itself as a funny experiment of how women would react if they turned up to a tinder date and found out their date was 89 years old. Really it seems like the 21 year old who made the video was using his grandfather as a conversation starter, but still it's blummin' enjoyable.
One woman is slightly obsessed with 'pegging' I will warn you, but the rest of the dates are delightfully awkward and willing to talk to Joe before his grandson swoops in to lay on the charm. Enjoy this video below.
The second video of today is a funny news clip where it appears that a man is embarrassed to be walking into a screening of Fifty Shades of Grey by himself. I mean, Maybe he'd just nipped out to the loo and was coming back in to meet his date, but he definitely did not want to be caught on the camera that had been set up in the screen for quick vox pops of cinemagoers on their way in to the screen. The comedy back away from the camera he does is great and the slow resigned walk back in when he realises there's really no other way past is great. The awkward smile planted on his face the whole time. I mean it's a fail for this man, but a win for everyone on the internet.

Facebook updates its handling of death and memorials – Legacy contacts
Before now Facebook seemed to have a fairly simple stance on what was to be done with profiles after a user had died and now they have improved their system. Previously users had to contact Facebook if their loved one had died and inform them about the certain profile, show some sort of proof of death and then the page would be memorialised. This meant that all their info was kept on the page and it could be visited by friends and family members, but removed it from public places such as 'suggested friends'.
Now users can be in control of what may happen to their profile if they were to die. You can now add a 'legacy contact' which means you can add in the contact details of someone you trust to deal with your affairs after your death and they will be able to take control and access your profile. They will be able to edit certain things such as your profile and your header image, and manage it as a memorial profile. They will be able to accept or reject friend requests and download an archive of photos, if the original owner had given permission to do so. The contacts will not be able to read messages or change any other account settings.
This is a great idea as it now makes it easier for family members to take control of a page (as long as they're the legacy contact). It means that there will be no need to open up a new page as a place for friends and family to share their memories about their person. Their profile page can instead be a place for people to post and share.
The memorialised accounts are also changing slightly too. Any page of someone who has died will have a 'remembering' written above their name on their page to make it clear to visitors that this person has passed away.
The legacy contact setting is currently only available to US users but will be available in other countries soon.

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 11th February – Boyhood honest trailer & Samsung fails
Today our like is a simple one. This funny spoof video which is an 'honest trailer' for Boyhood. This parody has come out just in time for the Oscars where Boyhood is expected to scoop the Best Picture prize. Usually honest trailers have a sarcastic voiceover, but in this one they use the song from Boyhood and create lyrics over the top of it. Very funny. Worth a watch.
Samsung TVs have been freaking out their users (in Australia) recently and for more than one reason. The main reason is that they have been putting advertisements over movies and other content that users have been watching on them, that is not live TV. This is weird. People using the app Plex, a server for your own files and content, have found themselves watching a movie only to be interrupted by an advert for Pepsi. The company says that this was an error which occurred in the latest software update sent to TVs, but still it's pretty unnerving that they can just put ads wherever they please on your TV, whilst your watching your own downloaded content! They are currently investigating the situation and hopefully can make users feel less concerned with the answers they find.
The other issue people are having is that someone realised the other day that Samsung could record the noises from your living room and sharing it with third parties. People got up in arms about the section of the user agreement they didn't read and said that Samsung was spying on them. Samsung had put this clearly in their user agreement and if you read it properly it says that it will record noises only when you use the voice feature on your TV. So it records when you try and find a TV programme or a TV channel with your remote. As soon as the icon is off of your screen it stops recording. I think people are taking this a little far. Just don't use the voice feature if you're that worried.

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 10th February – WhatsApp and Twitter firing
Hey there, we're back with Likes and Fails and today we are looking at WhatsApp's future plans and the girl who got herself fired over Twitter.
WhatsApp have decided to add another string to their bow by adding calling as an option in the app. They've been testing this feature out with a select group of Android users. There is no sign yet of when they plan to bring the update to iPhone, and also no insight as to when the feature will roll out to all Android users. It was initially brought to attention by some redditors that had noticed the feature appear on their apps. One user then posted a video demonstrating the new feature on YouTube. Obviously the advantage of this is that the calling only uses wifi and 3G which can be useful if you want to save money on minutes and if there's no signal in the area. The feature was originally announced last year but there had been no sign of the call feature until now.
The app isn't exactly struggling at the moment, recently announcing that they had 700 million active monthly users who exchange around 30 billion messages a day. It's nice to see the app progressing though it is a fairly obvious next move for them. I'm hoping someday soon we get something truly innovative from an online messaging company, though that may be difficult.
A not so clever girl, lost her job before she'd even started it thanks to Twitter, well and herself. She tweeted that she was not looking forward to starting her job tomorrow, though in not such kind wording. Then the day after she claimed that she had been fired over Twitter. What a surprise. It turns out that her boss was alerted to her tweet by another employee, her boss, or rather never to be boss, got on his twitter and promptly fired her. He said that he didn't want someone with that sort of attitude working at the restaurant/fast food place. Fair enough really. Make sure you pay attention to what you post on Twitter kids!

Facebook Reports Huge Growth with Video Taking the Forefront in Engaging Users
Facebook have released their latest quarterly statement and damn, is it impressive! With 1.39 billion active users (up 13% on last year) the social media giant is carving the way for even bigger profits than ever before. In the last quarter alone Facebook reported a profit of $701 million, which is a 34% increase on this time last year.
As I'm sure you know, Facebook makes most of its money from the use of advertising, making it an expensive social network for businesses. Their advertising revenue increased by a massive 53% to $3.59 billion, with almost 70% of that coming from mobile clicks.
Mark Zuckerberg declared, "We got a lot done in 2014″ (no shit, Sherlock!) with their total profits for the year reaching $2.9 billion, an increase of almost double that of 2013.
While Facebook have been busy earning money they certainly haven't cut down on spending. Per each dollar of revenue made, profits have actually decreased from 44% to 29% thanks to Facebook investing heavily into marketing and research and development. Research and development costs have tripled to $1.1 billion just in this quarter, with a focus on Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus Rift, in-house messaging and video.
With a huge amount of users logging on via mobile devices, Facebook has focused primarily in providing relevant content for individuals. Be this in advertising or organic content, the usability and integration of this content on mobile platforms has been paramount to Facebook's success. Clearly looking at the results, what they've been doing is working and a huge part of that has been video.
Last summer, Facebook reported that video was some of its most engaging content, with users viewing three billion videos daily. With that in mind, videos directly uploaded to the site get more priority over content such as pictures and status updates. As a business, we can see ourselves how much better video content is performing as opposed to traditional content. The reach is greater and it's an easier way for people to digest information. Directly uploading video is important to Facebook because it keeps users on their site much longer, however, allowing the likes of YouTube links to be watched within the platform is also beneficial but certainly less so. Direct uploads tend to load faster and users are more likely to watch paid video content when it's hosted within Facebook.
While a lot of videos that may be popping up on your news feed daily come from the likes of The Lad Bible, Facebook reported that, per person, video posts have risen by 75% in the last year. Whatever the content, making it in video form is especially important for business and that is very well demonstrated, again, by The Lad Bible – a business made almost entirely from recycled content.
Facebook's algorithm can easily be amended in order to prioritise video by simply recognising the format, however it has no way to understand what the video is showing, therefore whatever your content, it's definitely worth investing to make it in video form. If you do still want to pay for Facebook advertising, be aware that too much text in your videos will be rejected in the same way as images.
So to summarise, Facebook continues to invest heavily in targeted content with a strong emphasis on video. If you can afford to create video content that proves to be engaging, your business could flourish on Facebook. It doesn't even need to be of particularly high quality, if you can make relatable or funny video content, it will automatically be given more gravity on news feeds and from there hopefully much higher user engagement.

The Beard Olympics launch
The beard is very much back in fashion. The hipsters have owned it, and now the every-man is getting on board, there's no denying it, the beard is well a truly the male fashion statement of the moment.
So with that in mind we're excited to introduce to you the beardy app you've been waiting for, The Beard Olympics! A sort of Tinder for beards, or perhaps a 'rate my beard' style app, it allows you to vote for the best beards of Instagram with the most popular winning the beard Olympics. It doesn't officially launch until tomorrow so we're giving you that sneak peek now.
The Beard Olympics follows up the other extremely successful app, created for Christmas SocialSanta.co which allowed users to log in via their Twitter account and find out whether they were on Santa's naughty or nice list by the amount of times they'd sworn on Twitter over the last year. The results could then be shared to Twitter or Facebook which lead to the app being shared thousands of times.
The creator, Daniel Benzie said about creating the app: "The first thing I did was use the excellent Instagram API to begin pulling in any photos with the hashtagBeard. After this I wrote a small JS library which interfaces with the SQL database using Ajax to pull out records and randomly order them so that the user may play." "Each card is weighted with an equal amount of plays so no particular card has a better chance than any other of 'winning'."
The great thing about the beardy app is the quick way it loads beardy photos from Instagram really quickly for easy voting, and if you notice a photo not of a beard in your comparison then you can simply report the photo and it will be removed from the game after 3 reportings.
There's a section on the page where you can see the current top position beard, and all it's runner up beards, which aren't nearly as majestic. There is also a 'worst beards' section which houses all the crap facial hair of Instagram. Really, it should just house 20 pictures of Justin Bieber back when he attempted to grow facial hair, and look manly, that was hilarious.
As the great Ron Swanson once said: "Facial hair should be full, thick and square. Nothing sculpted. If you have to sculpt it, that probably means you can't grow it."

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 26th January – Lovely Facebook note & Twitter annoyed at Instagram
Posted in: Facebook Fail Instagram Like Likes and Fails News Online Social Media Twitter
Here we are with today's Likes and Fails!
A cute story has been making the rounds on the internet today, and the story goes like this. A young mother called Sammie was travelling on a long train journey with her 3 year old son, and they were about half way to Plymouth when a man dropped a note on her tray table as he got off the train in Bristol. Sammie read the note, her son was asleep on her lap s she couldn't get up, but it called her a credit to her generation. He was impressed that she'd taught her little boy such great manners and included a fiver in the note as a gesture of goodwill and so she could buy herself a drink. Sammie di as any 23 year old would and posted up a picture of the note on Facebook and it was instantly shared again and again, she says that she wanted the man to spot the post so that she could say thank you for the note that made her day. But really, there's little point of that happening, thought it is a great gesture of goodwill and makes a cheerful little story.
Twitter is acting like a bit of a moody child at the moment, it seems their a bit jealous of their one time friend Instagram. Twitter has reportedly been telling their blue tick verified users to stop posting pictures through Instagram and instead posting them natively through Twitter. Twitter now offers filters on their own app, and have been pushing this fact in the hopes that people will start using the photo option on their app. They've been notifying people via notifications in-app, when wanting to link to an Instagram post. This push could be something to do with the fact that Instagram recently announced that they have now got over 300 million users which means they've overtaken Twitter for the first time who have 271 million users. Instagrams growth has been really impressive and they're focussing on continuing that even further. They've recently decided to offer 'badges' to verified users, much like the Twitter blue tick. Looks like Twitter is a little upset that Instagram might be stealing their crown

A Social Media Agency's Likes and Fails – 22nd January – WhatsApp Web App & Picattoo
Posted in: Fail Instagram Like Likes and Fails News Online Social Media WhatsApp
Here we are, it's today's Likes and Fails!
WhatsApp has finally launched a web app, after many calls for it from fans of the messaging app. The messaging app is extremely popular, having over 400 million users world wide, and was last year purchased by Facebook for $19 billion. So the new web app has launched, currently only on Google Chrome's browser, but there is expected to be updates for other browsers soon. Check it out in all it's shiny new glory here: https://web.whatsapp.com/. On the screen you'll see a QR code (who knew people still wanted to use those?!) you're supposed to scan this QR code with the app on your phone and then you'll be linked up to the web service. I should just note here that apparently the iOS app is not yet compatible with this so all you Apple users will have to hold your horses. However, Android, Windows Phone and eve Blackberry users can chat away already.
Their official announcement said: "Today, for the first time, millions of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your web browser. Our web client is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device — this means all of your messages still live on your phone."
Have you ever thought, 'Oh my gosh I love this Instagram photo so much I wish I could print it on my body!', well, wish granted. A new service called 'Picattoo' allows you to send 12 of your favourite Instagram images to them and they'll send them to you in temporary tattoo form. Yes seriously. Now maybe this might be a fun idea for hen parties and stag dos, or like for tweenagers, but I have literally no other person in mind who might like this.
So, yeah, it seems like a bit of a lazy business idea too if you ask me, I mean you could buy a sheet of 'temporary tattoo paper' and run it through your printer and do it yourself for seemingly half the price (Thanks, Amazon!).
If you still want some check them out here: http://www.picattoo.com/
