Intussusception is the sliding of one part of the intestine into another.
This article focuses on intussusception in children.
Intussusception is caused by part of the intestine being pulled inward into itself. This can block the passage of food through the intestine. If the blood supply is cut off, the segment of intestine pulled inside can die.
The pressure created by the walls of the intestine pressing together causes:
The intestine can die, and the patient can have significant bleeding. If a hole occurs, infection, shock
, and dehydration
can take place very rapidly.
The cause of intussusception is not known, although viral infections may be responsible in some cases. Sometimes a lymph node, polyp, or tumor can trigger the problem. The older the child, the more likely such a trigger will be found.
Intussusception can affect both children and adults, although most cases occur in children ages 6 months - 2 years. It affects boys four times as often as girls.
The first sign of intussusception is usually sudden, loud crying caused by abdominal pain
. The pain is colicky and not continuous (intermittent), but it comes back often, increasing in both intensity and duration.
An infant with severe abdominal pain may draw the knees to the chest while crying.
Other symptoms include:
Your doctor will perform a thorough examination, which may reveal a mass in the abdomen
. There may also be signs of dehydration or shock.
Tests may include:
The child will first be stabilized. A tube will be passed into the stomach through the nose (nasogastric tube). An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in the arm, and fluids will be given to prevent dehydration.
In some cases, the bowel obstruction
can be treated with an air or contrast enema performed by a skilled radiologist. There is a risk of bowel tearing (perforation) with this procedure, and it is not used if the bowel has already developed a hole.
If these treatments are unsuccessful, the child will need surgery. The bowel tissue can usually be saved, but any dead tissue will be removed.
feeding and fluids will be continued until the child has a normal bowel movement.
The outcome is good with early treatment. There is a risk the condition will come back.
A hole (perforation) is a serious complication due to risk of infection. If not treated, intussusception is almost always fatal for infants and young children.
Intussusception is an emergency. Call your health care provider immediately, then call 911 or go immediately to the emergency room.

A little while back I talked about a conversation Julie and I had with our oldest son, Caleb. The story goes that Keith, our 2nd oldest, asked for an allowance after a fun, but hot, trip to the park. See, big brother was talking about buying himself a drink at the gas station using his well-earned allowance. Well, Keith wanted a piece of the action too! So, he asks, 'Daddy, can I get an allowance?' I answered by telling him Mumma and I would think about setting some chores aside for him. That drew a quick and concerned question from Caleb, 'If you're giving him allowance and you tell me that money is tight, then will that affect my allowance?' Jokingly I answered that we might be able to save some money by going with cheaper services--chores--from Keith, likening it to your city or village services.
Well, wouldn't you know that Caleb outsmarted me...
HE is paying Keith and our youngest daughter Emelia a small allowance out of HIS own pocket for services they do for him. His example was and I quote "...like if I have to bring my plate into the kitchen but I don't want to get up, I'll have them do it."
Nice... He's contracting out his work! Think about it-- he doesn't like sweeping the floor? Have Keith do it!
My question is, will there be a bidding war when Daddy wades into the chores pool with the littler kiddos?

Students protesting the Trayvon Martin outside the Sanford Police Department forced the closure of the building to the public Monday.
The protesters blocked the entrance Monday morning upon learning that a grand jury would not be convened, prompting the police headquarters to close to the public for the day.
Protesters only left the station after Florida State Attorney Angela Corey talked to them over the phone and gave her assurances that the investigation was continuing.
Florida Attorney General-Pam Bondi and Gov. Rick Scott replaced former lead prosecutor Norm Wolfinger with Corey on March 22, the same day Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee temporarily stepped down amid sharp criticism of his department's handling of the case.
Lawyers for Martin's family have accused Wolfinger of disregarding a police recommendation that Zimmerman be charged with manslaughter.
Wolfinger has denied the allegations.

How do we form opinions about people? Is it on their overall merits or is it mostly about looks?
Politicians, perhaps more than anyone, are judged superficially--which might explain New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's performance last night on the David Letterman Show.
Christie is considered a contender to run for president in a few years, but his weight is considered a potential obstacle to victory.
Christie's physique is a running gag on the Letterman Show. They've doctored-up news footage to make it look like he's eating or cooking.
Christie's PR strategy was to embrace the joke and play along.
"I've made jokes about you not just one or two not just ongoing here or there intermittent but (takes out doughnut and eats it) I didn't know this was gonna be this long," Christie said on Letterman.
About how he's ultimately judged, Christie said if you do something well, people will give you a fair opportunity to do it.
Being the first lady takes a thick skin. Even when you're beautiful and near-perfectly toned like Michelle Obama, your looks get criticized.
In Alabama, a high school football coach who also teaches psychology was caught on tape telling a class of students the first lady has a, "fat butt."
He also went on a bigoted rant against people who are gay.
He was suspended ten days without pay and won't teach psychology anymore, but he'll get to keep his coaching job.
Whatdetermines how people are judged by others? Isit their overall merits -- personality, intelligence, looks, how they presentthemselves, etc? Or is it mostly just looks? Tellus what you think on our Facebook page.

I just finished reading Dog Sense, a fascinating book by Dr John Bradshaw, a UK researcher. One of important findings he discusses is that "over friendliness" in dogs, like in some Labs, is a two-edged sword, and in the UK they have found that about 50% of Labs suffer from separation anxiety as a result of their intense need to be with people. What do you make of that? Something else to note, Dr Bradshaw will be a guest on the Colbert Report on May 12—Bark be interviewing him as well, stayed tuned for both!
Submitted by Lacey | April 13 2011 | Permalink
I'm going to have to read this book. I think that my Lab/Newfie mix suffers a bit from separation anxiety. Keeping her kenneled when we are gone helps a lot, though, and I think it's because she feels safe and secure in her kennel. If we leave her inside and we go outside to work in the yard or something, and she's not in her kennel, she stands at the door and whines. So, I'd love some insight into the issue and ways to help her feel less anxiety when she's alone and it sounds like this book is a good place to start.
One of my dogs has some pretty good separation anxiety herself. Some things that have helped me.
1. crating.. if not crating, then confinement to a room or two
Hope this helps! Would love to hear some other suggestions.
I purchased a long hair chihuahua about a year ago....the breeder that I purchased her from was very ill the day that I showed up so I left without her papers and the promise of "mailing them later". I know that was dumb but I really felt bad because I could tell how sick she was. After I put my Candy in the care and the breeder went inside my husband and I drove around her property just looking at her facility. I was horrified! Many of the dogs were skin and bones due to malnourishment and surely worms! I brought Candy home that night and it took several baths and more good combing with a flea comb to get rid of the fleas that covered her body. Then after checking her stool I realized that she had tapeworms (which was no wonder given the fleas). I contacted the breeder several time because I did not even have her exact birhtday when I took her to the vet and she wen into heat well before I thought she would....I know all of this makes me seem like an uninformed buyer...and I am well aware of the mistakes that I made by trusting some one...but I relly did fall in love with my puppy that day and overlooked alot just to bring her home. To make a long story short I finally got in touch with the breeder about 8 months after I purchased Candy adn discovered that I did not have a long haired chihuahua but instead candy is a Pomchi...I also discovered that the breeder (whom I did report by the way) is also the breeder that provides our local petstore with the majority of their puppies...I still do not have papers nor a birhtdate for my baby...and that is ok. I love her no less...I just feel very misled and am very concerned that breeders like that are still allowed to OWN a dog, much less breed them.
What a nightmare. Good for you for reporting the breeder. Do you think his/her operation will be shut down? I hope Candy lives a long and healthy life -- she is lucky to have found you!
We have had an epic battle with Separation Anxiety with our adopted dog (surrendered 5 times, we are her 8th home, at only 1.5 years old). Start by determining whether you are dealing with true separation anxiety, or separation distress, or something wholly different. We would have been lost without books like 'I'll Be Home Soon' (patricia mcconnell), and 'Don't Leave Me' (nicole wilde), among others (including tons of stuff from Bark!). We also tried products like Dog Appeasing Pheromone, music designed for dogs and flower extracts, with varying results. We ultimately achieved success with:
I would like to say, though? BEYOND WORTH IT. Best of luck to anyone who finds themselves dealing with this issue that seems to be becoming more and more common, and please remember that help is out there.

I wish there was some way to get dog owners to pick up there dog poop,I always pick after mine but so many owners do not,It gives all dog owners a bad rap,who do these people think is going to want to pick up there dogs poop I see it everywhere on my hikes, in peoples yards the beachs,the worst part is that because of it dogs are being banned from places like many hikes beaches etc,because of It and I don't know how many times I'm on a hike that I step in dog poop and I like dogs imagine what the people think that don't like or have a dog !
Completely agree with this comment!Its so inconsiderate of people and gives all dog owners a bad name. Several beautiful parks near me are full of it.
Submitted by arantxa | April 13 2011 | Permalink
This is a big pet peeve of mine too, especially when the perpetrator is ignoring the poop/trying to hide the poop right in front of others! I really think the best we can do is lead by example, and carry around extra poop bags to share. If I see people at the dog park or dog beach acknowledge their dog doing its business and then walk away or ignore it, I go up and offer them a plastic bag. So far, nobody has turned one down. Sure, it's a bit passive aggressive, but I try not to act like a bossypants either. I usually just say something like: "Need a bag? Here you go! I hate when I forget mine at home/in the car..."
Submitted by charlene | April 13 2011 | Permalink
I hear ya--we are never without bags and have on occasion offered one to another dog owner. The usual response has been a glare. I don't understand why people don't get it's disrespectful to other people who use the same venues--all because they don't want to pick up poop.

I am appalled every day by the amount of abuse animals suffer. Every time I think I've seen the worst I could see, I see something else. I don't understand why legislators can't see that if a person could do these things to an animal, they could do it to a human. Why is this so difficult to get across?
Submitted by Michelle S | April 13 2011 | Permalink
I absolutely agree with you! My dog was dumped out of a car and I wake up every morning to his sweet little face and wonder how anyone can be so cruel. I get so sick when I hear stories of animal abuse. I am a vegan so I do support organizations like PETA and Compassion Over Killing. They give you the resources to contact your local officials and agencies to sign petitions and get your voice heard. I always say that one person can make a difference but many people can make changes happen! Thanks for caring!!
Wondering how many readers of Open Thread compete or have taken at least one class/lesson/seminar in something besides basic obedience/manners? Agility, flyball, dock diving, tricks, disc, musical freestyle, rally, herding, Treibball, Schutzhund, lure coursing, tracking, K9 Nosework, other? I keep a list of sports I want to try with my rescue dogs (when I have the money and opportunity) and am wondering what other people and their dogs enjoy.
My dog and I do agility...its just for fun but its GREAT. Teaches control, helps dogs overcome fears, and is FUN. My dog pulls me towards the equipment hoping she will get to 'play' on it. Just make sure its a positive-reinforcement/clicker based course. Nothing worse then seeing a dog being miserable dragged over the obstacles on a choke.

After taking several levels of obedience and CGC, my dog Cedar and I started Rally Obedience and really enjoyed it! It's fun, challenging without being physically demanding and improved the bond between us. I highly recommend Rally!
Submitted by MJ | April 13 2011 | Permalink
We have a rescue Border Collie that we tried everything with. She was pretty much a neurotic mess when we first adopted her. Obedience helped her a lot, but she needed something more. We tried Rally-O and Agility, but she didn't seem to enjoy herself. We were lucky enough to discover a man giving sheep herding lessons in our area, so we tried it. She loved it and much to my surprise, it helped her to settle down! She actually is a terrible herder, but she enjoys trying! She later began "herding" our ducks (she lays very still and watches them forever...LOL!)
Hi Dede! What a great question. Wally and I have taken a K9 Nosework class, and boy is it fun! Wally is a smart and athletic guy, but he has some behavior issues that preclude him from participating in agility, flyball and lure coursing... basically all of the sports that he'd excel at. We're hoping to take another class this spring, but, in the meantime, at home Nosework is a great way to burn some nervous energy on rainy days.
I would also love to get Wally involved in weight pulling. Who here participates in weight pull? I'd love some tips on how to get him started.
Oh, and one of my silly dreams is to compete with Honey in K9 Freestyle. I've already decided that we'd perform to Lady Gaga's Boys Boys Boys... and, of course, our costumes would be fabulous!

My rescue Great Pyr mix competes in weight pulling and is close to getting her championship. She loves it, and it's made her a much more confident and outgoing dog. A few years ago I wondered if she'd ever be able to leave the house - so she's come a long way.
I love weight pull...some of the nicest and most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet compete in it.

My Shih Tzu, Chloe, and I are only on our 3rd dog training class, but I hope to get her AKC Canine Good Citizen certified and then at some point, hopefully ger her certified as a Therapy Dog. She is the one who led me to believe and gave me the idea she'd be good at that. Maybe your dog will let you know, too, but hopefully you'll get some good input from this thread. Good luck!

I love that so many people are experimenting with different sports and activities with their dogs. I'm always fascinated by how different it is to teach a dog something that comes really naturally to them (typically herding, tracking/nose work, and weight pulling) compared to activities that they enjoy and may be really good at, but are not quite as natural from a biological point of view such as obedience, Rally O, and agility. I know tons of dogs take to these latter activities and excel at them, but there is still, in my opinion, a different kind of training for these. Has anyone had the experience of noticing how truly differently their dog responded to one set of activities versus the other?
Oh my lord, yes! With obedience training, Wally quickly gets overly stimulated and whacked out (how's that for a technical term?). It's like his neurons begin to misfire when I ask him to use his brain in a certain way. With Nosework training, his behavior is completely different. He's calm (for Wally), happy and enthusiastic. It's so easy to see that using his nose is a natural behavior, but being taught to army crawl? Not so much.
So true! It's actually been harder for me to teach me dog herding..because her natural herding instinct/drive is through the roof. We're working on learning control when it comes to working the stock.
In all the other sports we do, it has been more about building the drive/confidence. In herding, its pulling it back a few notches.
Also a great post and query! Our dog is a beagle/dachshund mix, and has a funny set of skills. As anticipated, she LOVES nosework, and over the winter shown us this by developing the game of tracking neighborhood dogs back to their front doors while on walks. She is also, somehow, incredibly natural at fast, powerful runs and intricate maneuvers. Eager to please, she trains well ... but with a laundry list of phobias and a basic anxiety issue, some situations are difficult for her, and certain games can be overwhelming. It's been a joy to watch her natural talents flourish (and, more importantly, build her confidence), and also fun to work at those things that just come a little harder to her ... the 'got it!' moment with the tunnel was powerful, though we're still working on those weave polls ;)
Hi Karen,
My sheltie Striker loves any activity that involves running - agility, flyball, disc. I would say disc is his favorite, followed by agility, then flyball. I hope to get the chance to try him at lure coursing to see where that falls in the continuum. I tried rally with him at a training facility's open house and he didn't seem to enjoy it, to the extent that I decided not to put him through the whole course. I was just thinking about this last night after Treibball class, that I'm surprised that he's still quite enthusiastic about this training even though we're still at a level where everything is very controlled.
I have two rescue dogs...and we do LOTS of classes!
Both of my dogs compete in Flyball.. my first dog (cattle dog) was very fearful when I first got her and through Flyball classes, she found her confidence (and her voice)!
I also take agility classes with the cattle dog, we have just started competing. I do Treibball with my border collie to help with his off-leash directionals and focus. It has really helped him! I took a Canine Good Citizens/Obedience class with him (which he got), but Treibball was a more fun way to continue with off-leash work and focus.
Both dogs also take herding lessons about once a month and compete in disc (no classes for that though).
Rescue dogs really can do anything! I'd love to try nosework, but I'm already enough of a dog-sports junkie :)
I would LOVE to get into nosework with my cattldog x.I think its a great activity for dogs who are react to other people/dogs because in most cases they can still participate.
Wally's owner: I can really empathize with youas my dog is also not friendly with other dogs which excludes her from activities she would excel at.My dog is a ball/frisbee NUT who would excel at disc or flyball and also has a strong herding instinct.
Karen: I liked your comment about the more 'natural' outlets. There is something really beautiful about seeing a border collie herd sheep or a labrador diving into a water to retrieve there bird. I am sure this isn't always the case but its an interesting comparison to more manufactured dog sports like dock dogs or flyball.

We haven't been able to find classes in the things we wanted to learn but that hasn't stopped us from carting or learning K-9 sign. I find if you know the basic principles of positive training it's fairly easy. And since I have a very smart dog I know we'll be learning new things his whole life. I have to have things to keep his clever mind active or he finds his own entertainment. Given his sense of humor that's not a good thing.
We've tried dock diving, sheep herding (just an evaluation thing) and agility so far but want to try tracking (for the shepherd) and weight pulling (for the pitty) someday and also give our pitty a chance to try dock diving.
I just wanted to say that I love this post. We don't yet do any sports, but I advocate for them, and am looking into both nosework and agility with our hound. Awesome to see so many people doing this!
Thanks for all the replies! :-) I've been interested in Nosework for a while but haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, glad to read about all the people who like it. All my dogs are titled in flyball (it's the first dog sport I ever did, and I've been an instructor since 2003) and they've all been on sheep (I have 3 shelties and a BC/golden retriever mix). One sheltie is titled in agility and has also competed in disc but we mostly just play disc at home. I tried dock diving with the BC mix, turns out she likes running into lakes, not jumping into pools LOL, and have taken classes/seminars in freestyle and tricks. I'm currently taking a Treibball class with my youngest dog (who is 5) and will start teaching it in June. I've been interested in lure coursing since running the BC mix on the Lure for a Cure course a couple years ago. I'd like to try the new AKC lure coursing competition if any clubs nearby end up offering it. I wish I had enough time and money to do more sports with my dogs!
Shoot, I left one off my list of what I've done with my dogs - scootering! My BC mix was a natural, hooked her up and she took off running in a straight line. The guy who loaned us the scooter said he had never seen a dog take to it so quickly.

Any suggestions for vet-anxious owners? I have a dog with infiltrative lipomas, and after the last surgery (removed twice before) the vet suggested that because of the amount of scar tissue, we shouldn't have it removed again. It's grown and grown and suddenly she says we should have it taken care of as soon as possible. Every time I've had a major problem with a dog, the dog has ended up dying after seeing a specialist for a few days (literally). I realize it's just coincidence, but I'm still very anxious.
My dog is an Aussie, and I am aware of but haven't had her tested for the MDR1 gene mutation. This complicates the problem--as she must be tested before another surgery. I realized, long after the fact, that this gene mutation may well be the explanation for losing my other two Aussies (one twenty years ago, one eight years ago).

Maybe try having a trusted friend or family member come with you. You could even let them hold the leash so your anxiousness doesn't travel down the leash to your dog. Try meditating a bit before hand or just sitting quietly and taking some deep breaths before entering the office. Good luck.

I agree with the post about animal abuse. It's a known fact that people who abuse animals usually go on to abuse people, too. Pet animals, especially dogs and cats, seem to be treated with such little regard in many cases. For all the organizations that help animals, there are still so many people that cancel out all the help. I wish there was a way to limit animal breeding. For goodness sake, they limit how many children people can have in China. Why can't we figure out a way to make people more responsible here in what is suppose to be the greatest nation in the world?!! We need to rid all people of the mentality of "It's just a dog/cat."I know this probably has a lot to do with the way children are brought up. If there could only be mandatory prevent animal cruelty education in EVERY school, starting when the children are fairly young. It's an immense undertaking, I know. I wish it could somehow be accomplished.
At least in response to your idea of educating in schools, I would highly recommend you check out APHE - the association of Professional Humane Educators (www.aphe.org) There are MANY Humane Educators out there (myself included) who are either associated with a humane society/shelter or operate freely who will, for a fee or even for free, visit schools, community groups and even birthday parties to share fun and educational lessons about humane treatment of animals as well as prevention of animal cruelty and safe interactions with animals to prevent bite related injuries. Humane Education is growing fast as a service and field, and by making an introduction between your school system and your local Humane Educator, you could go a long way towards doing that which you wish - spreading a message of tolerance and humane treatment of animals that will help animals AND humans for the future. In many cases, these programs can be geared towards adults as well as children, so keep that in mind as well (I find adults have a great time and are always eager to learn at our programs). If you wish to go a step further, consider getting into the field yourself - it's amazingly rewarding, and one of the most positive fields within the realm of Animal Welfare: rather than being bombarded with cases of cruelty, you are seeing animal-loving people absorbing your information and being inspired to make a change. There's a lot less burnout, for sure!
My biggest pet peeve is offleash dogs in clearly-marked mandatory leash areas.
How do you deal with people with offleash dogs? What is the best phrase/most effective thing to say so people don't let there dogs approach mine? I generally try to yell at the person to get there dog without screaming so as not to stree my dog.
I also employ managment by avoiding major areas where I know offleash dogs will be
I stick with the short and sweet "MY DOG IS NOT FRIENDLY. LEASH YOUR DOG." Then I stop and wait until their dog is on leash before moving closer. I've gotten my fair share of dirty looks and comments, but sometimes you need a thick skin even if you're doing the right (and responsible!) thing
I'm also considering carrying a can of citronella spray, because my town is home to an unbelievable number of kooks who walk their dogs off leash on city streets and who think their dog would never approach mine.
I've tried that as well...I think I need to say it more forcefully.I have trouble with the thick skin thing..I get infuriated because I know I am being responsible and my dog is leashed and under control but find it difficult to tell people off. I had someone threaten to call animal control and told me to muzzle my dog because his dog bounded up to mine and jumped on her head (after he ignored my multiple warnings to leash his dog) and mine growled at the dog and was quite vocal.
Just like some people can't read dog body language I find many humans unable to read fellow humans body language. I often make it clear that my dog is not friendly before they are in yelling distance (getting her to sit as far away as possible, getting her to look at me, shielding her view with my body)..its difficult to multitask and tell the person to get there dog leashed!
I am also a runner (and run with my dog) so offleash dogs haunt me during that activity as well. I love dogs but I do not enjoy having one running after me and nipping my heels (or worse). It's eerily comical...me running, my dog trying to get at the other dog, the other dog trying to chase me...sigh.

I have tried varying times that I take my two Britt mixes to parks and trails, hoping to avoid loose dogs and irresponsible owners. Walking both while trying to get away from a "friendly" dog is not easy. My female is 12 and has trouble with her back legs-she can't keep away as easily if a dog threatens,or makes her nervous. She goes as far as she is comfortable, then I get her back in the car and walk my male. The other day, she immediatley headed back to the car when an "unknown" golden came too close. Gert solved that problem herself! It truly annoyed me when the owner (after I told him she moves slow and needs space) gave me a disgusted look. He & his dog ended up leaving! Older dogs also need mental stimulation and adventures, as long as they capable of doing so without injury or stress.
Particularly since your dog is older you'd think they would respect that. It makes me sad when people ruin things for others and don't exercise basic consideration practices.
Gert does sounds like a smart girl though..problem solving all on her own!
Me too, Rose. I imagine such inconsiderate dog owners love and care about their dog. Too bad they can't see they are spoiling "dog privileges" for all of us with their selfish, thoughtless behavior. I tend to think most "dog people" are "good people" and so I wonder how to get through to them to be more responsible. People hate rules and regulations and restrictions ... but that is exactly what happens thanks to the selfish few.
Just think of it as being protective of your dog, like any parent would be of their kid. My dog is an angel off leash but for some reason being on leash (maybe it's the thought that if something did go down she can't get away) she has some reactivity issues. She is naturally an anxious dog, so if an off leash dog approaches her with bad body language this could turn into something, never has, but how do I know when/if it will? Then my dog has to suffer emotional and possible physical trauma just because I don't want speak up or give the wrong impression to someone irresponsible enough to let their dog run around loose.

The off leash dog in clearly marked areas is also my pet peeve. My dog is fine walking along as long as dogs don't run up to her face to face. However, dogs that are not under their owners control are our biggesst problem. It is always the people who say "don't worry my dog is nice" that irritate me the most. I have had to put my dog in down and stay and kick at the offending dog to keep it away from her. I feel bad but I have to protect my dog.
Submitted by Rose | April 14 2011 | Permalink
I have the same issue with my dog. She is well behaved around other dogs but is NOT fine with other dogs running up to her and greeting her face to face or jumping on her. I have put so much time/money/effort into having a dog who behaves politely around other dogs and additionally the huge amount it causes her makes me so angry.
The only issue I have with kicking another dog (which I would do if it came to it) is that it escalates the situation..and I find it hard to keep my focus on my own dog while trying to deal with another dog.
I just fail to comprehend why, with the amount of offleash areas around me, there is offleash dogs in clearly marked leash-mandatory areas or immediately outside the offleash area. I think that many of the people who do this have been 'kicked out' of offleash areas (people have told them not to come back) because there dog was behaving inappropriately.

Here's a question - Our neighbor's dog barks and barks - it doesn't like being alone but it is, all the time, but she's very sketchy so I keep my distance. She came at me several times with teeth bared and barking like I was her next meal. Last week we saw a device that we can put outside to stop her from barking. The problem with her barking is that she gets my three going and it's horrible. Does anyone have one of these devices and do they work? No collar is needed.
Submitted by Claudia Kawczynska | April 13 2011 | Permalink
What is the device? I would love to know more about that. Our little Beagle mix, Holly is quite the barker, but she is only outside when we are home. When I go home for lunch I spend half the time running to the back door, calling to her, once she hears me, she stops and comes to me, but if she "inspired" other dogs to bark (which happens), she'll just start up again. Would love to hear possible solutions.

My spouse and I took two of our dogs (standard poodle and standard mix) for a walk with a friend. We were on our side of a city walking/biking trail when a family passed on our left, the father well in front of his young son, who was on a small bike, and wife who pulled a hitched bike and toddler. The boy fell just as he was passing us. No particular reason other than he lost his balance. The father stops and starts walking back yelling that it wouldn't have happened if the f-ing dogs were over on their side. His wife tried to say that we were over on our side, but he kept ranting. I suggested the f-word was inappropriate in front of children and that led to quite a trail of obscenities aimed at me. Several witnesses observed the behavior and agreed we had nothing to do with the boy falling. We all felt sorry for the children of this horrible man. It was very unsettling and makes me hesitate to take my dogs for walks on city trails.

I love this fragrance and especially in the dish soap. It is perfect for the holiday and throughout the winter. Fills the whole kitchen with a delicious smell and makes you actually enjoy doing dishes!

Great But... OUT OF STOCK!
Love this product and have used for 3 years now...I understand the increase of price based on everything happening these days. What I do not understand, is how a company that has a product as popular as this can be out of stock until August!...Poor planning?
Does not support good customer service when a staple item is gone without notice... Very disappointed!
Over 8 months gone is not temporary... That's discontinued until further notice.
Perfect Holiday Scent
I bought the dishwashing liquid, liquid hand soaps, and lotions, all in the Frasier Fir scent. I am getting my house 'ready for the holidays', and there really is no other scent that helps create such a festive and happy mood. In my experience, this scent is appealing to men, women, and children (during the holidays and beyond!).
Doing dishes? No problem
The Frasier Fir scent and effective formula work together to help make doing the dishes an enjoyable and easy task.
