New! Early Childhood Teacher Certification State Profiles
Resource Materials from the 2014 Summit of States
Technical Assistance Professionals (coaches, mentors and consultants)
The Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative's (ECWSI) purpose is to assist states in developing, enhancing, and implementing policies for an integrated early childhood professional development system for all early childhood education professionals working with and on behalf of young children. Integrated policies intentionally promote the building and support of an efficient cross-sector system that decreases duplication of efforts and increases accountability and sustainability. An integrated system helps develop and retain a competent and stable early childhood workforce—a skilled cadre of effective, diverse, and adequately compensated professionals.
An integrated system crosses sectors serving early education professionals working in direct and nondirect service roles. Such roles may be in Head Start; for-profit and not-for-profit child care programs in centers and homes; state prekindergarten programs in community-based and school-settings; public school programs; early intervention and special education services; resource and referral agencies; higher education institutions; state departments of education, licensing, health, and other early childhood education related departments.

We were delighted that 28 states attended the Summit of States on Saturday, June 7, 2014 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a pre-institute session of NAEYC's National Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development.
The National Summit of States is a convening of state cross-sector teams who came together to build and enhance state policies for integrated early childhood professional development systems. The intensive, full day agenda included plenary presentations, topical breakouts with time for peer cross-state discussions, and time for the state team to work together. In addition, we highlighted new reports on the workforce, as well as emerging federal funding opportunities in the context of their implications for state professional development systems.

Workforce Designs: A Policy Blueprint for State Early Childhood Professional Development Systems
This blueprint focuses on the policies that connect professional development activities and that support and make possible an effective implementation of a state system of professional development. It highlights policy principles and essential policy areas that build or sustain an integrated system—a system that ensures quality in all settings in which early childhood professionals work. These principles and highlighted policy areas look beyond the status quo; they are aimed at the development and retention of a competent and stable early childhood workforce—a skilled cadre of effective, diverse, and adequately compensated professionals.

Technical Assistance Professionals (coaches, mentors and consultants)
New! Policy Profiles for States and Territories: Early Childhood Education Technical Assistance Professionals
States and territories are working to improve the quality of early childhood education across all settings, leading to a growth in the number of coaches, mentors, and consultants—broadly referred to as technical assistance professionals (TAPs). NAEYC's new database, Policy Profiles for States and Territories: Early Childhood Education Technical Assistance Professionals, shows the current status of state policies relating to TAPs under the six essential policy areas of NAEYC's Workforce Designs blueprint and NAEYC's report, Strategic Directions: Technical Assistance Professionals in State Early Childhood Professional Development Systems.

Strategic Directions: Technical Assistance Professionals in State Early Childhood Professional Development Systems
ECWSI's new public policy brief, released in August 2012, examines the growing field of professional coaches, mentors and consultants working with early childhood programs. The report offers states policy recommendations to strengthen their professional development systems in four key policy areas: a common terminology for the diversity of technical assistance professionals; standards along with competencies, qualifications and credentials aligned to these roles; career pathways, ongoing support and appropriate compensation; and data, evaluation and quality assurance.

Professional Development Definitions
Early Childhood Education Professional Development: Training and Technical Assistance Glossary, jointly developed by NAEYC and the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA).
Together, these two glossaries provide shared language for use across all forms of early childhood professional development: training, technical assistance and adult education. They include definitions of common terms used in the development, implementation and evaluation of professional development (PD) programs; in policy decisions and regulations; and in research and literature reviews. The glossaries are intended to support professional development activities and integrated PD systems.
The glossaries are intended to serve as a guide for states to adapt and adjust as needed to meet their specific needs in clarifying professional development roles and policies; assisting with determining and supporting the knowledge and capabilities of those providing professional development; and in data efforts to count and track all types of professional development. The definitions are also designed to provide common understandings, or starting points, for research and national or cross-state discussions.

ECWSI Peer-to-Peer Exchange
The Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative Peer-to-Peer Exchange is an online community designed to facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges between state policy makers, early education advocates, and program administrators working to connect professional development policies that support an integrated early childhood professional development system.
The PD Summit is an intensive day designed for state leaders working to build and enhance early childhood cross-sector systems integration with a focus on professional development and workforce system policies. The PD Summit includes interactive peer-to-peer discussions with a variety of national experts serving as resources to State Leadership Teams. The agenda is built upon the collective summary of the state goals.
After careful consideration, NAEYC has decided to host the Professional Development Summit of States every other year. In 2013, we are working more intensively with states on topics that were identified through the 2012 Summit evaluation. The next Summit of States will be in 2014, in conjunction with NAEYC's Institute for Professional Development.
Two of the most prominent topics requested by states in the 2012 Summit evaluations were technical assistance professionals and workforce data systems. In addressing those topics, NAEYC has co-sponsored two projects affecting 35 states. In addition to the Workforce Data Systems Meeting held on June 8 in conjunction with the 2013 NAEYC Institute for Professional Development, NAEYC also co-sponsored a learning table, Creating an Effective Technical Assistance System to Develop High Quality Early Learning Programs, in partnership with the BUILD Initiative's QRIS National Learning Network and the National Center for Children in Poverty. Twenty state teams participated in this learning table, which were chosen through a competitive process announced on the NAEYC website and through our affiliate network. State teams participated in one on-site meeting and 7 webinars and were expected to complete readings and related assignments. Follow-up technical assistance is provided by the sponsoring team. In addition to these projects, NAEYC's Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative is able to provide technical assistance for states that are creating professional development system policy plans using the NAEYC Workforce Designs Policy Blueprint, and rapid response for policy and advocacy related to professional development and workforce systems.

Early Childhood Education Workforce Data Systems Meeting
Data about the workforce, from the workforce and for the workforce
June 8, 2013 at the NAEYC PD Institute in San Francisco, CA
One of the most prominent topics requested by states in evaluations from the 2012 Professional Development Summit was workforce data systems. As part of addressing this topic, fifteen state teams were selected through an application process to join an all-day meeting, Early Childhood Education Workforce Data Systems: Data about the workforce, from the workforce and for the workforce, designed for early childhood advocates and other early childhood stakeholders to become better equipped to participate in the development and use of state workforce data systems. The goal of the day was to provide participants with a deeper understanding about the power and potential of different sources of workforce data, how to use it to advance the profession, and how to advocate for increased workforce supports, including compensation, training and educational opportunities. Through presentations by state and national experts as well as poster presentations by each state team sharing how workforce data has shaped policy, practice in planning in their state, we explored how data can be used to tell a compelling story that moves policymakers and other stakeholders to take action. Existing and potential sources of data were explored, along with new tools for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data about higher education and teaching. At this meeting we also examined policy strategies to increase the inclusion of all members of the workforce in data systems, and best practices to ensure that workforce data is part of states' early childhood data systems.
This meeting was funded by the Alliance for Early Success, formerly known as the Birth to Five Policy Alliance and sponsored by NAEYC's Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative in partnership with the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment and the Early Childhood Data Collaborative.

Help with WD external hard drive...
by mikelowrey4221 - 3/4/13 5:27 PM
I have a WD external hd and I cannot figure out why it is not loading the information on it. Ive had it for a long time and I have been using it to put backup information on it for my job. It was working fine earlier today but then it just stopped working. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. I tried to go to the manage section but it is not showing up. When I look at it on my computer it is showing up but it is not showing any information on it like how many gigs or how much information is on there. I do not want to lose any of the information because it is important that I have it for work. Can anyone please help me. Thank you very much.

Journeys of an Expropriated Coat
by Frotchie
My coat was born in the Lebow Clothing Factory in 1985, shortly before the owner closed it down, firing several hundred seamstresses and quietly knocking away one of the last bastions of manufacturing that stood in the way of Baltimore's inevitable transformation into a post-industrial wasteland. The factory was closed, locked, and boarded up, and no one bothered to remove anything from inside. Endless rows of sewing machines sat rusting, great hay-bale sized rolls of textile lay collecting dust, and this coat, along with twelve thousand of its brethren, hung neatly wrapped in plastic, unseen and forgotten. Like the women who made it, it became redundant, unwanted, a discarded relic of a dying era...

Rated 4.9 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by ecy8655 Best irons I've hit so far I upgraded to these forged clubs after using the RAZR X Black for the past year. The difference in feel is pretty dramatic for me. You don't have to be a single handicapper to use these clubs, but you do have to have be a pretty good ball striker. If you don't hit balls in the middle of the club face, these clubs will tell you and you will lose some distance. However, that is what I was looking for when I upgraded. Hitting a ball flush with middle of the face gives you the most satisfying feeling and I could also work the ball better with these clubs. Highly recommend. They are somewhat forgiving but not as much as game-improvement irons, but better than pure muscleback blades.. October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by WarSamEagle Great feel and feedback for the better player First off, do not buy if you are a high handicap. You need to be able to strike these irons on the center of the club face consistently to enjoy the benefits of these irons. I am a 4 handicap and I needed an upgrade to a more bladey style of iron so I gave these a try. The feedback and feel of these irons are excellent for a good ball striker. They feel like butter at impact and they will let you know if you just miss one. These aren't like blades in the sense that they are more forgiving but I wouldn't recommend these irons for someone above maybe an 11 handicap. But for the low handicapper, these are a great choice November 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chris0829 Very solid set of irons. These irons are very pleasing to the eye at address. The ball launches off of the face with solid impact. They are somewhat forgiving if impact is off center. Ball flight is very good with all irons and good spin rate. These clubs are at least one club longer than my previous irons. I also really like the project x shafts. I am very pleased with these irons and would recommend them to mid to lower handicap players. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike There Irons are Great The long irons are very easy to hit and gets the ball in the air nicely. The short irons seem to cut the wind fairly good and they have a consistent trajectory. Recommend these irons to anybody. My old irons were a different big name brand, I like these much better them my old irons. May 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wedgelover These are NOT "Game Improving" Irons!! These are Great Irons, But They are True Blades never the less! So These are "Better player" Irons. So Try them out first. I finally tried out all the Irons I wanted to on the weekend. And If you hit a bad shot, They're tell you!! September 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jim54 I am happy with my purchase Although I ordered them on-line, it was after evaluating them in the store in MIlford CT. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob Piece of work These clubs look and feel great! The weight, feel and look are a must in order to shoot a low score. March 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rammy14 right on the money I had used regular flex graphite shafts before trying any new clubs. Originally I was looking at the X Hot clubs, I gave them a few swings and the pro handed me this club with the Project X shaft and first swing with the 6 iron was 240 straight as can be. I was sold then and there and took the clubs home with me. I have played a few rounds since and instead of shooting in the mid 80's consistently with my old clubs I am in the high 70's. With a few more rounds of practice and a consistent playing schedule I know these clubs will have me playing even better than now, which is the best I've ever played. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by JerseyRay Can't go wrong! Clubs are smooth like silk. Miss hits still forging for a blade type iron. Wouldn't reccomend these irons for a high handicapper. February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Six This is a great club-- depending It is terrific-- but I don't think it would be terrific for everyone. The hardest muscle backed blades to hit consistently are the long irons. Makes sense. These clubs gave me greater consistency and obviously higher ball flight with the 3 and 4 irons. Below that, there was not as great a difference though there was a difference. The feel of these clubs is superior to my blades however, a really terrific ball striker may not feel this. So, to me, if you are a good ball striker and are either interested in moving to blades or a blade player looking for more consistency in the longer irons, this is a really great club. Finally, this club is not very forgiving. It will not launch thin and clunky strikes. I have hit a lot of different irons. I bought these. September 4, 2014

Boeing technical workers' ballots due by March 18
The Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace said Friday that ballots are scheduled for mailing by next Thursday and will be due by March 18.
The union has said it's disappointied the offer does not provide pensions for new employees. They would have a 401(k) retirement plan instead.
However, the union says accepting the company's last offer would lock in "considerable improvements" achieved since the company's initial offer.
The 7,400 technical workers have already given their union strike authorization.
The 15,500 engineers represented by the same union approved a four-year Boeing contract in ballots tallied Feb. 19.

Three-Run Fourth by Lenoir-Rhyne Sends Baseball to 5-2 Loss; Streak Moves to 11
March 29, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lenoir-Rhyne University broke open a scoreless game with three in the top of the fourth en route to a 5-2 victory over Pfeiffer University in Tuesday afternoon baseball action at Joe Ferebee Field. The win pushes the Bears to 10-26 while the Falcons suffer their eleventh-straight loss falling to 13-23.
A Stephen Andrews (Winston-Salem, NC) leadoff walk started the fourth as he would later come around on a Max Priest (Dunedin, FL) RBI-single to left. After a Pfeiffer balk, Matt Gasques (Mebane, NC) groundout to second brought home Nick Verhein (Charlotte, NC) for a 2-0 lead. Priest would later tally the frames final run on Chris LaVenias (Clearwater, FL) one-out single to center.
Pfeiffer got on the board in the fifth on a tape-measure solo home run from Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC) but the Bears got that run right back in the sixth on a sacrifice-fly by Stephan Arcieri (Roswell, GA). Scoring finished with a Dan Catalano (St. Petersburg, FL) RBI-single in the Lenoir-Rhyne seventh while Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) doubled and later plated on a wild pitch in the bottom half of the inning.
Verhein led the Bears at the plate on Tuesday going 3-for-5 with a run scored. Shoemaker and Matt Wade (Chapel Hill, NC) each had a pair of hits for the Falcons. Ryan Wiese (Charlotte, NC) scored the win on the mound tossing five innings allowing one run on four hits. Jared Carroll (Bladenboro, NC) needed one pitch in relief to secure the save getting a game-ending 6-4-3 double play.
Weather permitting, Pfeiffer will be back in action on Wednesday night with a 6:30 p.m. first pitch at UNC-Pembroke.

The Lions delivered another poor defensive display as Drew Mitchell scored four tries in the Waratahs' 73-12 win in Sydney.
This fixture was talked about as the Lions' best chance of victory, even though they had never beaten the Tahs in Sydney. That hope was short-lived, however, as after just 32 minutes, the hosts wrapped up the bonus point. The Lions have now conceded 29 tries in the tournament, which tells the story of a shocking start to the season.
The Tahs were under pressure from their supporters and the Australian media, but their fans had plenty to cheer about as they crossed the line 11 times.
Carlos Spencer gifted the Tahs their first two tries, the first when the Lions won a turnover but opted to run from deep. This is the approach coach Dick Muir loves to see, but it cost the Lions as the Tahs won the ball back, and from an ensuing penalty, Drew Mitchell tapped and dived over the line. Earlier in the move, Tonderai Chavhanga had also rushed out of the defensive line handing the Tahs the momentum.
The Waratahs winger went from hero to villain momentarily as a mistake behind his own goal-line gifted Chavhanga a score. The Tahs led 7-5 after seven minutes, but then Spencer was again at his worst. His kick was charged and gathered by Dean Mumm who cantered over with the cover defence non-existent.
The Lions' defence was typically porous as they missed 12 tackles inside 25 minutes. The Tahs were hardly made to work as the Lions handed another Australasian team a bonus point – the third time they've conceded five log points in 2010.
Tom Carter crashed over before Wandile Mjekevu's mistake (which was similar to Mitchell's) saw Lachie Turner claim the fourth try.
The Lions were intent on running, but clearly lacked confidence, as Spencer and Earl Rose hacked away possession aimlessly. The Tahs were buoyed by the visitors' mistakes and looked to counter from deep, and Berrick Barnes also drove the Lions back with some lengthy touch-finders.
Muir finally lost patience with his halfbacks as JP Joubert and Spencer were replaced by Jano Vermaak and Burton Francis at half-time. The latter pair didn't lack effort, but without the platform from their pack, they battled to make an impact.
The Lions have successfully brought other teams, such as the Brumbies, down to their level, but the Tahs kept their structure and scored a further six tries in the second half. The Lions opted to run everything in the final 40, and Mitchell capitalised from their numerous errors to complete a personal tally of four tries.
Muir will undoubtedly find 'positives' in this display, but the Lions are going nowhere slowly. The seven-time champions Crusaders lie in wait, and if the Lions' woeful defence continues, they can expect another hiding.

Tragedy struck the 1800 block of Cedar Lane Friday morning when a 30-year-old man was shot to death shortly after midnight.
According to the Kinston Department of Public Safety, members of its Law Enforcement Division responded to a call around 12:50 a.m. about shots being fired. Upon arrival, officers found Robert Dennis Pridgen, Jr. dead behind the wheel of a 2005 Lexus.
Pridgen, who family members told The Free Press he was visiting them, was hit multiple times in the upper body region. It was the second homicide of 2013.
Kinston police said they have been working around the clock on the case, but haven't been able to identify any suspects in the homicide.
"The investigation is ongoing, but we don't know much more than we did last night," Kinston Department of Public Safety Director Bill Johnson said Friday afternoon.
Law enforcement is still searching extensively for clues. KDPS spokesman Woody Spencer said everything is being analyzed in hopes of finding the party or parties involved in Pridgen's death.
"We're looking into all evidence and situations, following up on leads and doing everything we can to find whoever was responsible," Spencer said.
The people around Pridgen before his death were all inside a house on Cedar Lane when the shooting occurred and didn't see what transpired. Pridgen's cousin — who asked that he not be identified for this report — described the moment from what he heard.
"Nobody really saw anything," he said. "He went to get something out of his car and then we heard five gunshots. When we came out, he was dead."
While most of Pridgen's family and relatives declined to give statements to The Free Press, his cousin talked about who Pridgen was.
"He was a joker and someone who was always into something," Pridgen's cousin said. "I remember we went fishing last month and he tipped our boat over just to be funny. He just liked to chill, make money, talk to females and enjoy life."
Neighbors on Cedar Lane had nothing but positive things to say about Pridgen, even though most admitted they didn't have many personal interactions with him.
"He was just a regular citizen," one neighbor said. "I didn't really talk to him, but sometimes he would wave and I'd wave back."
Another neighbor who had more personal moments with Pridgen described him as a quiet but friendly individual.
"Robert stayed to himself mainly, but he was always polite when we spoke," she said. "His entire family had always been very kind to me. It's truly a tragedy that this happened and my condolences go to everyone affected."
Among those affected was Pridgen's cousin, who went from enjoying the company of a family member to dealing with an untimely death.
"All Robert wanted to do is live and he couldn't even do that," he said in a solemn tone. "He wasn't a bad person and he didn't deserve this."

Comments about Flybikes Ruben Graphite Pedals:
I have found these to lack grip in mud and water but they have enough surface area to make you feel really planted, giving you all the control you can have before moving up to clipless.
The Apple Green color is a little weird, and may be better described as Pea Soup. YMMV.
The price, however, is extraordinary, and these pedals are well worth the investment if you can't go up to the billet-based platforms with the screw-in/replaceable pins.

When mixing breeds of dogs, there are risks to the health, temperament and over-all structure of the dog. However, the mixture of different breeds of dogs does happen. With the specific mixture you are looking for, you may have a hard time. However, you can look at breed specific rescues, as they will take in their breed and their breed if it is mixed in with it.1/11/2015 7:09:01 PM
The American Kennel Club is for pure-bred dogs. They believe in well bred pure-bred dogs. Since the Mal-Shi is a mixed breed dog, the AKC can not and will not recommend a mix breed dog to someone.7/11/2014 5:08:37 PM
The Maltese average height for a male is 8 - 10 inches and female at 8 - 9 inches. While the Shih Tzu's average height for a male and female is 11 inches at the shoulder. So the dog should be in between the two's average heights.7/11/2014 5:12:11 PM
Super quiet dog except when people at the door. My Malshi is 2 and still has a hard time quieting down after your guests have entered.3/24/2014 8:17:59 AM
my Malshi puppy is 1 1/2 years old and he is super quiet unless there are people outside my house.
If that is what your vet recommends then that is what needs to be done.7/11/2014 5:12:52 PM
Toys should always be slightly bigger then the dog's mouth. So you don't have to worry about choking issues. While you can do many different activities with your new dog to bond with her. You should take up an obedience class so that she understands to listen to your commands and you can bond through basic obedience.7/11/2014 5:15:47 PM

half a cup of dry kibbles in the morning and evening.12/20/2012 11:07:35 AM
We also bought a Malshi puppy - 10 weeks old. Primarily, it depends on the instructions on the side of the bag. We use Purina Pro Plan for Puppies with Lamb and Rice. They are allowed 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup per day. My vet told me since they are little puppies, they should eat 4 - 5 times a day every 3 1/2 - 4 hours or so. Take the quantity and divide it by the number of servings you want to do to calculate the total (or measure out 2/3 cup and put it in a bag, and portion it out throughout the day).1/21/2013 3:15:00 PM

My malshi was tri-colored when I got him at nine weeks. And while he is still very adorable, the maltese in him took over and he is now almost completly white. He went from having quite a bit of color on his face to just a few strands of dark hair on his ears, and his body his all white.1/4/2013 4:45:19 PM
My little Malshi girl is two. When I got her she was strands of white with gold bands and dark brown. She is now white with a greyish hue. She's beautiful but they do change a lot. I'm getting a jet black one now with a bit of tan. It will be interesting to see the changes. 3/1/2015 11:41:26 PM
Malshi puppies are very playful. They like play biting but not hard biting. Just more like nibbling. Its very cute actually because they kind of expect you to do the same back to them. Training them to ring a bell will take some time, such as other training. Its kind of advanced if i may say so. But most of the time if you train them properly to go outside, many times they will sit and wait in front of the door and maybe cry a little bit like they want out. Malteese and shih-tzus are great dogs. They love their owners and have lots of energy. Just make sure you take time to keep their (hair) unmatted and also lets of exercize. The exercise is very important, if you want a quiet house. :) 7/26/2012 12:23:09 PM
My malshi likes to play bite a lot. But those baby teeth are quite sharp, and sometimes he becomes obsessed with your fingers or toes. We keep a bottle nearby filled with half water, half white vinager. he does not like the smell. We say "no teeth" and spray (very lightly) around our hand or feet. Now all we have to do is show him the bottle and he backs off right away.1/4/2013 4:53:17 PM

My Maltese shih tzu has peed and poop in her kennel before. Typically they will not poop or pee in areas they eat at. I trained my dog to eat in her kennel and she has stopped since. Eventually we moved her eating/drinking area without any repeated issues.7/6/2012 11:14:31 PM
I used potty pads with my malshi puppy and rewarded him every time he pottied on one even if he peed a little or got some half way on the pad. He learned to go potty on them in 1&1/2 weeks at 9 weeks old. He's now 16 weeks and runs to the potty pad whenever he has to potty. Rarely has accidents in the house!5/19/2012 3:23:48 PM
At 1 1/2 years this was her 1st mating and she had four pups (all doing well). She is the shih tzu, just under 12 lbs. The daddy is a 7 lb maltese. Hope that helps.6/29/2012 7:03:50 PM
Malshi's only go into heat twice a year.4/28/2012 2:39:36 PM
Malshi Males never go into heat. Only females do.6/1/2012 3:26:39 AM
They highest a malshi would probably weigh as an adult would be 12 pounds. Most adults tend to be lower than that, though, around 8.4/3/2012 6:01:13 PM
My male weighs 13.6 pounds, and is very solid. Built like a tank, and the vet says for his size he is a perfect weight.10/22/2012 11:49:10 AM
I have a mauzer- maltese schnauzer breed ..and i was wondering whether this Malchi breed would make a good pet for her to play with because when we're going for a period of time she goes crazy when we get home ...needs the attention9/9/2012 12:48:51 PM
I believe you are bathing your mal shi too much, back off to every two weeks not weekly. Also switch to an oatmeal shampoo, it is better for their skin. I think by doing you should be all set. If the itching continues there might be an allergy. Try to avoid wheat in their food. Lamb and rice would be a good choice.1/31/2012 1:12:12 PM
Malshis should be bathed every two to three weeks. Fleas can also be attracted to very clean bodies, so you should probably cut down on the bathing.4/3/2012 6:02:46 PM
Hi there! Mal Shi's do not need to be shampooed that often. It dries out the natural oils in their skin and fur. That is probably why he is scratching so much. Tea Tree oil shampoo for dogs is very delicate and easy on their skin and coat.6/21/2012 11:54:57 AM
Your malshi may have skin allergies and that can cause them to scratch and itch.4/28/2012 2:41:19 PM
8 weeks is very young for your puppy. Crate them when you are away, and at night time. Not sure why this helps, but is stopped my first dog EVER in about 8 days. Take outside immediately when you wake up, feed, and take outside again before you leave the house. I never took mine out at night, she just learned to sleep all night (1st time dog owner, I just didn't know). They LOVE doing things for Treats, so you could offer something special for peeing outside. It is true that they do not do well with harsh words, but they get the voice inflection!! Very smart. I recommend attending dog training courses as soon as the Vet deems necessary. Good luck, hope this helped!1/24/2012 2:09:10 AM
whenever you want to take them on a walk1/10/2012 9:30:17 AM
One time a day for about a half hour or so should be good. I, however, do not always have to time. Therefore, I walk my malshi for a longer distance every other day,4/3/2012 6:03:52 PM
generally malshis are mello dogs. usually have a great disposition and are very friendly.12/28/2011 7:26:46 PM
It all depends on the household they grow up in. Calm household? Calm dog. On the otherhand; if your house is very busy and loud, your malshi will be very energetic and active. A walk for about a half hour a day should be good, as well as a little romp in the yard.4/3/2012 6:05:06 PM
Mal shi's are very laid back. Just playing around the house is enough excersise for a day. Just make sure he doesnt get to lazy.4/4/2012 11:22:27 PM
love your mal shi to death......they are great pets!12/28/2011 7:29:46 PM
Use the bell method of training it to go outside. Ours was 10 weeks old and learned to ring the bell 95% of the time within a week. They like praise. Kennel train it for feeding and sleeping. It gives them that safe secure place to be. It also gives them a place to be put when you're tired, because they have a lot of energy.1/5/2012 4:36:50 PM
You are going to LOVE it! I got my mal shi 5 days ago and he is so PRECIOUS & ADORABLE. I cant get enough of him. You know its the right kind, its the perfect breed! ENJOY! :)4/4/2012 11:24:00 PM
Depends on parents. Usually malshis are in the 5-10 pound range though.12/28/2011 7:30:28 PM
Mal shi's price range is between 300-$5002/23/2012 1:27:26 PM
No not at all- a mal-shi is a great Dog!10/22/2011 11:07:43 PM
This is why so many people love them- mal shi's do not shed at all.4/3/2012 6:05:46 PM
NO, there is nothing wrong with her. For a while just keep giving her the food. I know it seems like alot, but in time she will adjust.1/14/2012 8:53:35 PM
My Vet recommended their "By Prescription only" brand puppy canned food. The food you are feeding may be too rich for your puppy. I, too, experienced this same episode (hence an ER visit to the Vet, $120.00 later) He was weening and couldn't digest the food, so I now puree it in the blender. Hope this helps.1/24/2012 2:11:19 AM
Are you giving your malshi puppy Nutrical? It is for energy and it keeps them from being hypoglycemic. Get it from your Vet.7/18/2012 5:43:45 PM

All Blacks winger Zac Guidlford will get help for his drinking problem but could still be punished by the NZRU for misconduct following the recent events on the Cook Islands.
Guildford returned to New Zealand on Wednesday after being released by the Cook Islands police. The 22-year-old was reported to have assaulted elderly patrons at a Rarotonga bar while naked late last week. He also verbally abused a Cook Islands triathlete while she was on a training run on the island. Both incidents occurred while Guildford was heavily intoxicated.
The New Zealand Rugby Union has said that they will not tolerate this kind of behaviour, but at the same time are determined to get the young man the help he needs.
'From an employer's perspective, the events in Rarotonga have been incredibly disappointing and Zac needs to be accountable for his actions,' NZRU general manager of professional rugby Neil Sorensen said in a statement. 'This will involve Zac going through our misconduct process over the coming weeks.
'However, it is fairly clear that there are some very big issues involved here, and rugby cannot provide all the solutions on our own. We are working with a professional counselling organisation which will provide guidance and input as to the next steps for the coming days, weeks and months.'
The latest drunken blowout is not the first for Guildford. He admitted on Wednesday that he needs to make a change to his destructive lifestyle.
'The last few months I have had a bit of a problem with drinking and I need to address that, and all I can do now is move forward and put some positive steps in place with a good support group I have,' Guildford said. 'My actions were not that of a professional sportsman, which I'm disappointed with. I just want to get home and sort myself out.'

PORTSMOUTH-- The Coast Guard and Portsmouth Fire Department responded to a report of a fire aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Bear Thursday afternoon.
Officials said it took about an hour to put out the fire, which they say was contained to the damage control shop.
Commanding Officer David Ramassini, Captain of the US Coast Guard Cutter Bear, said, 'It looks like the source of the fire was an accetline tank or a line attached to that tank. We are still investigating.'
Capt. Ramassini said the damage was minimal.
'I was on the pier when the fire started and personally observed the rapid response of Portsmouth emergency services,' said Cmdr. James 'Brett' Millican, the executive officer of Base Portsmouth. 'I appreciate their professionalism and support for the Coast Guard.'
Officials confirm that nobody was injured aboard the cutter, which is moored at Coast Guard Base Portsmouth.
The Bear is a 270-foot medium-endurance cutter homeported in Portsmouth. The crew returned from a two-month counterdrug patrol in the Caribbean Sea in December.

AC Gilberts Discovery VillageRead MoreA.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village is a hands-on children's museum spread across three historical houses that reside in Riverfront Park. It is named after A.C. Gilbert, a Salem native, toy magnate, and inventor of the Erector Set. True to a life spent creating educational and scientific toys, his namesake museum provides a place for kids to interact with exhibits that encourage play and provoke thought. From a giant model of an animal cell to a faux paleontological dig full of ancient bones to musical instruments like a South American rainwheel, the museum's stations encompass a number of scientific and cultural disciplines?though little ones might only interpret each activity as fun. Furthermore, youth can heal stuffed animals in the Village Vet Room or scale a 52-foot edifice that is one of the world's largest Erector Set towers, boasting three slides and a maze.116 Marion St NESalem, OR US
Sykart Indoor RacingRead MoreSykart is an indoor karting company. We've got two tracks, one in Tukwila, Wa and one in Tigard, Or. Our facilities feature high tech European style karts capable of 40+ mph driven on fun and challenging indoor courses.8205 SW Hunziker StTigard, OR US
Sky High Sports TigardRead MoreBlanketed in wall-to-wall trampolines, Sky High Sports delights barefoot fun-seekers with springy terrain and an exclusive court for jumpers 8 and younger. Guests can grab hold of a rope swing and fling themselves over a foam pit stuffed with blocks of spongy, body-molding material, or try some trampoline-assisted dunks on one of the basketball hoops. Pintsize aerialist posses can safely practice their synchronized Salchows on 360 degrees of trampoline walls while court supervisors watch from the sidelines and award hard-earned praise with oversize scorecards. Sky High Sports also offers AIRobics fitness classes and monthly dodge-ball tournaments to help jumpers explore the outermost stratospheres of trampoline possibilities.11131 SW Greenburg Rd.Tigard, OR US
JJ Jump and JJ ExtremeRead MoreInside both of JJ Jump's two locations lies 7,000 to 12,000 square feet of inflatable challenges and bounce-based entertainment for children. The jousting arena settles sibling rivalries in a civilized and laugh-filled fashion, and giant slides send little ones safely toward the ground. But there's more to JJ Jump than jumping: each facility also boasts a creative play zone that is ripe with construction toys and a stage where children can let their imaginations run wild. From time to time, the Clackamas facility morphs into JJ Extreme, where a kid wearing a harness can be suspended from the ceiling by a rope to swing back and forth under neon lights. Harnesses also come in handy for a slightly more competitive activity, during which youngsters zip past one another, running toward a basketball hoop and hoping to make a shot before a bungee cord pulls them each backward across a soft, inflatable mat.9057 Southeast Jannsen RoadClackamas, OR US
Malibu RacewayRead MoreWhile many go-karts look like miniature versions of Formula racecars, the similarities usually stop there. This isn't the case at Malibu Raceway. Atop a fully independent wishbone-suspension design, Malibu's Indy-style Virage rumbles with an 18-horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine inspired by its professional, full-sized brethren. Youngsters that didn't get Playskool's My First I.D. Forger for Christmas can whiz around the half-mile outdoor track in a 9-horsepower Sprint kart, which keeps little riders safely strapped in with a four-point, race-style harness. Blinking battalions of arcade machines stand guard over a game room underscored by the din of clacking pool balls, and a snack bar sates cravings with corn dogs, cotton candy, and popcorn.9405 SW Cascade AveBeaverton, OR US
Ultrazone Laser Tag PortlandRead MoreMovable walls, luminous rocks, mirrors, ramps, and unexpected dead ends. These are just a few of the obstacles players face at Ultrazone Laser Tag, a two-level, 5,000-square-foot arena that, much like a spring-break DJ?s apartment, is always flooded with black light and fog. Before separating up to 36 players into three teams and setting them loose in the arena, a game master delivers rules and moves teammates to the vesting room, where they grab lasers and flashing vests. As the beat of pulsing music hammers the arena, players stream into the field, launching beams at opponents and attempting to seize their strongholds. When players are hit they aren't eliminated from the action; a computer keeps a running tally of points throughout the mission and awards champion status to the team with the highest count after the game. The facility also includes an arcade packed with video games as well as air-hockey tables, pinball, and a snack area.16074 SE McLoughlin Blvd.Portland, OR US
