Mission Statement
The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber
State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully
researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories
intended for the widest possible use.
Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of
events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees
(as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and
corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as
available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original
recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations.
Project Description
The Weber and Davis County Communities Oral History Collection includes interviews of citizens from
several different walks of life. These interviews were conducted by Stewart Library personnel, Weber
State University faculty and students, and other members of the community. The histories date back to
the early settlement of North Ogden, and cover various topics including the History of Fort Buenaventura,
city government affairs, controversial issues, Latinos in Ogden, personal everyday life experiences and
other recollections regarding the history of the Weber and Davis County areas.
Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a
narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with
the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral
history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken
account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it
is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

Abstract: The following is an oral history interview with Betty J. Ott. Betty (b.1932)
and her husband, the late Layton P. Ott (1930-2004), who generously named the
Weber State University's Ott Planetarium. The oral history focuses on Layton's
work in science and his love of astronomy and physics. The interview was
conducted on November 7, 2011 by Rebecca Ory Hernandez in order to gather
Betty and Layton's experiences with Weber State University, including
philanthropy. The Ott's important gift to Weber State University assures that the
Ott Planetarium continues to do quality production and also allows resources to
continue the outreach programs and field trips that the Ott Planetarium staff is so
great at implementing. Over 22,000 children go through the Ott Planetarium
annually. The Ott Planetarium has received NASA awards as well as local and
regional recognition due to their generous support.
ROH: Today is November 10, 2011. We are in the home of Mrs. Betty Ott in St.
George, Utah. Present are Rebecca Ory Hernandez from Weber State and Betty.
We're going to talk a little about Betty's history and her husband's history. We'll
also talk about their connection to Weber State University. Let's start with your
BO: I was born Betty Byrd on November 25, 1932, in Phillips County, Arkansas. My
mother was Mary Magdalene Brantly. My dad was Marvin Martin Byrd. I was the
third of their eight children. We lived on a big farm. My dad raised lots of cotton
and lots of corn. I attended school in West Helena, Arkansas. I graduated top in
my class in 1950. Then I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where I was a
secretary for a company that sold feed to cattle. It was called Thibault Milling
I met my husband while he was an LDS missionary. I met him and his
companion one day and my folks did not want me to have anything to do with the
LDS Church. I was getting a lot of problems, so I moved to Little Rock so I could
do what I wanted to do. There was an attorney who was a member of the Church
there. He took me to meet the people at the Thibault Milling Company and they
hired me to work for them as a secretary. I was there for about a year and a half.
Layton was in Arkansas to start with and he got transferred to Oklahoma, where
he spent the rest of his time.
ROH: Where was Layton from?
BO: He was from a little town called Tropic, Utah. It's by Bryce Canyon. His dad
raised cattle and his mother taught elementary school. His mother had lived in
Ogden, but when she graduated, she went to Weber when it was Weber
Academy. It only took two years, at that time, to become a teacher; then the
State sent her down to a little place in Garfield County to teach. That was the Ott-family
area down there and that's how she met Layton's dad. Layton was born in
West Point; they lived there for a time. He had a brother and a sister. I thought
Layton was really wonderful, so I corresponded with him while he was in
Oklahoma. He wrote me a letter and said, "Would you marry me after my
mission?" And we did. When we got married, we lived in Provo for a while. He
was going to BYU and we didn't have jobs. We moved to Salt Lake and he went
to the University of Utah.
ROH: What year did you get married?
BO: In 1952.
ROH: Where did you marry?
BO: In the Logan Temple. I had a job working for a finance company while he was
doing every kind of odd job he could in order to keep us afloat. He went to the U
for a year, and then he got drafted into the Army. He was trained in Fort Ord,
California, but when he finished training, he got sent to Petersburg, Virginia. He
taught classes for the military there.
ROH: Where were you at that time?
BO: I was with him—not during the Basic Training, but after that I got to go with him.
In November 1953, we had our first daughter, Deborah.
ROH: Where was she born?
BO: When he first got drafted into the Army, I stayed here in St. George because I
didn't have another place to go. So I had Deborah here in St. George. When he
finished with his military service, we came back to Salt Lake and he finished his
Bachelor's degree. He graduated top in his group and he was offered two
scholarships. He took the one in Los Angeles. We moved there and he got his
Master's degree from UCLA. We had a son while he was in the military and our
second daughter was born at the UCLA Medical Center. Then we moved back to
Utah and he went to the University of Utah for his doctoral work. He got hired at
the University [of Utah] and taught in the Business Department for about
seventeen years. He loved it and he loved the young people. He actually got an
award from the University of Utah students, who voted him as one of the best
professors in that department.
ROH: Was his Master's in business?
BO: Yes, it was an MBA. After he'd been at the U for about seventeen years, he said,
"I need to do something different." It was about this time that he met President
Miller, who was Weber's president. Weber wanted to get a planetarium, but
financially it wasn't there. Layton helped them by donating a lot of things—he
donated land so they could sell it, he also donated a coin collection…I don't
remember everything. But he helped them so they could get the planetarium.
ROH: What is the connection between his work in business and the planetarium?
BO: He had a telescope and he loved to take the children out at night and show them.
When Weber wanted to get a planetarium, it hit Layton just right.
ROH: He was passionate about stars and astronomy.
BO: He was, really.
ROH: Do you know if he always had that hobby? Even as a young person?
BO: I'm not sure. The only thing I remember was that when he was in Boy Scouts,
they could get a merit badge for astronomy. Maybe that's where it started.
ROH: How involved were you in that process of donating and helping Weber get a
BO: I was tending children all that time. It was a neat thing for me because I was
supportive of him and what he did and when it was dedicated, I got invited to
come. That was good.
ROH: It must have been a happy day when we had the planetarium grand opening.
BO: It was beautiful. Then, after Layton passed away—it was in 2005 or 2006—we
gave the money to Weber to get a new telescope and new chairs and things.
ROH: When did Layton pass away?
BO: It was in 2004.
ROH: Did he stay connected to Weber all those years after meeting President Miller?
BO: He did. He had a passion for helping Weber get what they needed. We spent a
lot of time there. We got acquainted with most of the presidents of the college.
He was really happy when it was made a university, too. Actually, President
Naduald was the president of Weber and now he's the president of Dixie. He's a
very nice person.
ROH: How have you stayed involved with the planetarium since Layton's been gone?
BO: Every year, Dr. Ostile and Lisa would come down to visit me and I continually
give money to take care of things. We've done that every year. I don't know how
it happened, but I know Layton had a desire to really help people and the
planetarium. I think it was two years ago that we agreed to donate a certain
amount to Weber for ten years. My son is involved in that.
ROH: I wanted to ask if all of your children have been involved.
BO: Mainly my son. One of the professors there had taken a leave of absence and
my son graduated with a Master's degree from BYU, so they called him and
asked him if he'd be willing to substitute. It was an accounting class. For some
reason, we have just always stayed close to Weber. It meant a lot for Lisa and
Dr. Ostlie to take the time to come down to visit.
ROH: Have you been able to go to any of the shows in the planetarium?
BO: Yes. All of my family came into town and they had a special showing when they
got all the new equipment in. The kids loved it. Dr. Ostlie and the proctors were
so kind. They said, "Anytime there's kids trying to get merit badges or something,
bring them here and we'll do a show for them." They are very kind. My son was a
bishop in Kaysville and they would take kids up to see a show. The boys would
get a merit badge for it. Weber has been very kind to me and to our family. I can't
think of any other way to say it.
ROH: That's perfect. Has this project that you've helped with caused you to have a
greater interest in astronomy?
BO: I love it, but I don't have a telescope or anything. I love to sit out at night in the
summer and see the stars and the moon and think, "We've got a beautiful world."
Layton would take the kids outside with a telescope and find the Big Dipper and
things like that and he'd tell the kids all about it.
ROH: Have your children become more inquisitive about astronomy because of this?
BO: I would say so, but not in a large way. Lots of grandsons have enjoyed going to
Weber to see the shows. It was nice for the kids.
ROH: Is there anything you'd like us to know about Layton?
BO: Oh my goodness, it would take all day to tell you all the wonderful things about
Layton. When he gave up teaching at the University of Utah, he had two partners
in Salt Lake that asked him if the three of them could start a developing
businesses together—shopping centers in the Salt Lake area and those sorts of
things. Their big project was the Layton Hills Mall. He did a lot of developing. One
of his partners was sent to Armenia to build a cement plant—they had an
enormous earthquake there that destroyed a lot. After about six years of being
over there, he got burned and came home and passed away at the University of
Utah's Medical Center. But these three really were the best partnership you could
ever ask for. They were just completely in accord. Layton was the one that made
sure the financial part of it was okay. David Horn was the builder. Then Paul and
Bob Mendenhall were the two that got the companies into the mall. They were
together probably ten or so years.
ROH: How did they know one another?
BO: Through church.
ROH: Was he working in the business world at the same time that he was teaching?
BO: No. When he first quit teaching at the U, he bought a business from a company
in Tooele. It was called Vista International. For several years, that company
made pieces that fit on the back of a truck—now they're just called campers, I
think. They really expanded that quite a bit.
ROH: Did your family go camping?
BO: The people who were building these campers said to him one day, "We have
built a camper just for you. You need to come and see it." They'd put carpet and
all these various things in it…it was really pretty. We took the children and went
to Yellowstone—by then, we had six of our children. We stayed one night—we
stayed in the hotel and the kids stayed in the trailer. Layton took it back and told
the guy, "Sell it, I don't need it." It was not for him. He did not like to camp. Even
as an Eagle Scout, he didn't want to go into the wilderness and set up a tent.
ROH: How long did he teach?
BO: About seventeen years. And that camper business was the first thing that he
went into. Doing strip malls and things came later.
ROH: You've mentioned a few of your children. Would you tell us who they are and the
years they were born?
BO: Deborah Kay was born November 11, 1953. Steven Layton was born July 11,
1955. Laurie was born June 24, 1957; she's the one who was born at UCLA.
Then Vicki Lynn was born August 15, 1958. Then we decided, "Wow, we've got
to slow this down!" [Laughter] So we waited six years and then had Corinne; she
was born on March 16, 1964. Patricia was born March 14, 1966. She and her
husband Darin are very involved in Weber State.
ROH: Did she go to Weber?
BO: She and her husband graduated from Weber. Trisha got her Bachelor's and
Darin got his Master's. Then, our youngest child is Norma Jean; she was born
May 28, 1970. Norma graduated from BYU Hawaii. She met a guy over there
and when she came home for Christmas she said, "I've met someone and I want
to get married." That's when we decided to move to St. George. We wanted to
get out of the cold weather; plus, Layton's mother lived there and she was not in
good health, so we were coming down a lot for her sake.
ROH: Had she moved from Tropic to St. George?
BO: Yes, she had actually moved to St. George quite a few years earlier because she
taught first grade at the school here.
ROH: Would talk a little about your son's involvement in Weber State?
BO: He takes care of all the financial things between us and Weber. Weber knows his
phone number and address. He could tell you so much more than I could. His
dad idolized him and they did everything together. He's actually the CFO of
Living Scriptures in Ogden. At one point, he quit and they hired another guy, then
the boss called and said, "Steve, we've got to have you back." I think he works
three days a week there. He has golfed with Dr. Ostlie and Lisa. Plus, his
daughter Melanie is going to Weber right now. She wants to get a degree where
she can…you know how when someone writes a book and you get it reviewed by
someone? That's what she's going to school for. She wants to be able to do
reviews of things.
ROH: Do you go back to Weber State on occasion?
BO: I get invited, but it's so far away! [Laughter]
ROH: I know. I was wondering if there are things that you attend sometimes or if you go
to campus to see the planetarium.
BO: I think the last time I saw the planetarium was when they did the remodeling and
dedication and all the family was there. I'm kind of a person who doesn't do
social things.
ROH: Tell me a little about what you do here in St. George.
BO: I really enjoy it here. I've been working at the temple as an ordinance worker. I
got released just recently, so now I go over to do my work. It's a beautiful thing
and the work is beautiful. Around 1999, Layton said, "Let's take the children and
go traveling with them." So in 1999, we did a cruise and went to Russia. The next
year, we did a cruise and went to New England and Canada. The year after, we
did a cruise to Alaska. Then he started taking all the grandkids, too. It was a job.
Then, in 2003, he took the children on a Caribbean cruise around Thanksgiving
time and he passed away the following January.
ROH: How did he pass away?
BO: In 1973…he had a cousin who was Chief of Police in Salt Lake. He had been in
the military and he trained people what to do with the enemy or bombs and
things. We went with them for a month and in that period of time, Layton picked
up salmonella. Normally, that's only dysentery and you get rid of it. But the doctor
assumed that Layton had an ulcer and it got in his ulcer. He was in the hospital
all summer long and it was so bad that we assumed we were going to lose him.
Well, it affected his liver the worst, but it affected all of his vital organs. He had a
number of operations. They did a surgery on him that worked, but you never get
rid of the salmonella virus. When we came here, we found a doctor who works
with livers as his specialty. About two years before Layton passed away, the
doctor said, "Layton, I've done all I can do for you. I'll give you two years." Layton
lived two more years and a month. Of course, I didn't know about that. Layton
didn't tell me. He told my son and my son told me after Layton passed away.
ROH: I guess he didn't want to worry you.
BO: That's what Steve said.
ROH: I'm very sorry. You said that Layton did some military duty, did he ever go
BO: No. He was at Fort Lee teaching classes for the military. Then he got sent to a
place in California; for some reason they had not kept the books that had to do
with the NCO Club. There were a lot of things about it that were a mess and they
were trying to close it. I can't remember the name of the base.
ROH: Which branch of the military?
BO: The Army. His job was to construct a set of books that looked legal. It passed
and so he worked there until about the last of August. They gave him an early
release so he could go back to school. He went back and got his Bachelor's
ROH: So he wasn't in the military very long.
BO: About two years.
ROH: Did he have anything to say about that time in the military? Based on the rest of
his life, that's a really small period of time.
BO: There were several guys from Utah that had all gotten drafted at the same time
and gone to Basic Training together. One of them had a car there and on the way
back, they had a wreck. Layton's back was broken in the accident. From
February through the end of April he was in the hospital trying to get it fixed. In
May, they sent him to Fort Lee, Virginia. Because he had a bad back, he never
had to do KP or guard duty or anything like that, so that was a good thing. But
anyway, he did so many wonderful things.
ROH: What did the two of you enjoy doing together as far as family traditions?
BO: I think the most we ever did was go to movies together. We were stay-at-home
kind of people. If we did do things, we had all the kids with us. Friday night was
his day with all the kids and me. Every Friday night, they got to go out to dinner
and chose where they wanted to eat. Then we'd come home and play games. He
thought his kids were the only kids in the world, I think. [Laughter] We were both
very active in the Church so we did a lot of things church-wise. But he worked
long hours when he quit teaching, and he felt like any time he had, he had to
spend it with the family. So that was what we did. When we went on vacation,
they all went with us. Except when we went to Asia.
ROH: When did you go to Asia?
BO: In 1973, that was when he picked up salmonella.
ROH: Were you with him?
BO: Yes. The four of us had to be tested, but he was the only one who had gotten it.
ROH: Do you recall where you were based?
BO: We weren't really based anywhere. In Salt Lake, there was a sort of international
police chief convention [International Association of Chiefs of Police Convention].
The first country we went to was Japan; they wanted him to come in and talk to
their police department and say, "If this happens…this is what you can do." We
went all over. We were in the Philippines and Singapore and Thailand. That was
quite an experience. When we were in Thailand, they invited us to see some
beautiful dance shows. We enjoyed Thai food. We got entertained as if we were
ROH: Layton was never a policeman though?
BO: Layton wasn't, but Layton's cousin, Earl was a policeman. Earl and his wife
asked us if we'd go with them. We had a wonderful time in Japan. We got to see
them diving for pearls and various things.
ROH: That sounds exciting. I've never seen pearl diving.
BO: Yes. They have to be in a certain place and a certain depth of water, so we were
taken out to a place where we could see them diving for the pearls.
ROH: Okay. So neither you nor Layton attended Weber State.
BO: Just his mother. She knew President Miller and I think that was what started her
interest. President Miller was from West Point, I believe, and that's where
Layton's mother grew up.
ROH: Next week, I have an appointment to talk to the five daughters of President Miller.
BO: Oh, he was such a kind, good man. President Nadauld was, too. When we
moved down here, we were trying to help him to keep some programs going, too.
Layton was really a lover of education and he wanted all of his kids to be well-educated.
I have twenty grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. The
oldest just turned twenty and he's going to Honduras to serve a mission for the
Church. Trisha's son is in Norway. My daughter Corinne's third daughter is in the
Singapore Mission in the Malaysian Islands.
ROH: Three of your grandchildren on missions at the same time?
BO: Yes. Other than that, I've got grandkids who have done wonderful things.
Everybody does.
ROH: Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - A northern New York bus manufacturer has landed a contract to build 300 buses for the Chicago Transit Authority with an option for 150 more.
The transit agency has agreed to pay up to $148 million for 300 buses manufactured at Nova Bus in the town of Plattsburgh. Full production is expected to begin next February.
The 40-foot-long buses will have LED lighting, multiple security cameras and improved fuel efficiency.
The Chicago Transit Authority is also a major customer of another North Country manufacturer, Bombardier. It placed a $331 million order for 300 rail cars in 2011 from Bombardier.
Nova Bus, part of the Volvo Group, has a little more than 200 employees in Plattsburgh.

2001 Littorai Cerise Vineyard, Anderson Valley 1/20/13: Deep black cherry to a red-brown edge. Smoke and supple black cherry-kirsch fruit, Asian spice and a note of caramel, dry old leather tones on the nose. Broad, dry, rather earthy entry to a fairly tight center of dried dark cherry fruit, loamy earth and fine, slightly hard tannins, cool stone fruit acidity, dry forest floor elements, showing a bit of pepper-spice on the moderate to long finish.
2004 Roar Pisoni Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands 1/23/13: Medium red-blue to a pale red-pink edge. Rich black cherry fruit shrouded in a sauvage, sanguine element, game and coolish wet stone qualities on the nose. Rich and surprisingly elegant on entry with a slightly sweet wild cherry aspect that continues into the center, now a bit sauvage with dark cherry, dried brush and scorched earth, turning a bit taut and narrowing as this rich, full-bodied chameleon stretches through a very long, ever-changing finish. Exciting stuff!

A 14-year-old boy shot outside of an Atlanta middle school has been treated and released, according to a hospital spokesperson.Police said that the teen was shot in the back of the neck just before 2 p.m. on the campus of Price Middle School. Relatives identified the victim as Telvis Douglas. The alleged shooter, another student at the school, was disarmed and apprehended by a school resource officer, according to Atlanta Police Chief George Turner. Sandra Armour, who said that she was a cousin of child's mother, said that he doing fine and recovering. She said that she wanted to dispel any notion that this was a gang-related shooting and said he was a good kid.
Relatives of the teen called him a good kid and a stand-out football player at the middle school. They said they're struggling to understand such violence, in a place where children are supposed to safe. "Maybe this would be a wake-up for some people to do something better about their kids, and how they're raising their kids so that this won't happen again," said an aunt of the teen. A paraprofessional suffered minor injuries when she was trampled by students who had heard the gunshot, APS officials said. She was treated at the scene for minor cuts and bruises, according to an Atlanta Fire Department spokesperson.

Catching a breeze takes on a whole new meaning in Michigan's thumb area where turbines are turning wind into clean, renewable energy. "When you build a wind turbine, all the pollution created to make that turbine is offset within three months by clean energy," said Mark Serafin, DTE Energy's program manager for wind development.He shared some interesting facts about these energy-making giants. While they look like they're turning slowly, they're actually spinning at 200 mph. They need winds up to 7 mph to start making electricity.You don't get a sense of how enormous the turbines are until you stand up close to them. The blades are 150 feet long, and from the highest point, this tower is the size of a 50-story building. "The technology is improving, so we're able to capture more wind," said Serafin. Each turbine generates enough juice to power 500 homes. DTE has close to 70 operating right now, and 69 more under construction. It costs about $250 million to build a wind park like the one in the thumb, but Serafin says it would cost much more to build a new coal-burning power plant.Farmers and individual landowners must give permission, and not everyone likes them. But those who do are compensated with a $10,000 disturbance payment, $5,000 per acre, and royalties. "It's their land," said Serafin. "They want to know what's going on and want to make sure we're taking care of their real estate."They did a two-year bird study to make sure not to disturb flight patterns. And they comply with noise and distance from homes regulations.Construction of the newest wind park is expected to be completed by the end of the year as DTE works to comply with the state's standard: 10% renewable energy by 2015.

A family is convinced that they are the victims of an arsonist. However, they refuse to become a target for thieves, even if that means they have to sleep under the stars because after that fire, some of the outside is looking in.Fire trucks and flames are some of the scariest sights and sounds to rise to, but that was the start of what proved to be a dreadful day for a family on Dickerson on Detroit's east side.The blaze began at an abandoned brick house, then the fire forced its way to them."When I looked out the window, there were bursting flames everywhere burning up the side of the house," said Thelma Davis. "It was so bad I had to run the kids out without any clothes on and grab covers and whatever I [could] to take them out.""I really do believe somebody set that house on fire," said Theresa Davis.When the smoke cleared and the firefighting crews finished, the abandoned home was a disaster and at the Davis' home, Thelma said, "In [one] room I could just see the sky.""You can't go in the room anymore because the squirrels and all that might come in," said Theresa. "[There is] a hole in the ceiling.""The fire department in order to save you, they have to tear the house up," Thelma explained. "The whole left side of the house is burnt up. All my children's things got damaged, their beds." The Red Crosss was waiting in the wings ready to rescue them from the wreckage, but they refused to remove themselves from the mess not because they don't want to, but they believe if they walk out, the crooks will walk in."They might break-in.

Wisconsin truly is America's Dairyland. Even though California produces more milk, everything about Wisconsin says dairy and that includes our license plates. Even before Wisconsin became a state, Wisconsinites were milking cows and making cheese. Matter of fact the first cheese makers were farm wives, with the first cheese plant owned and operated by a farm wife in the 1830's. By 1910 the state was number one in the land for cheese production a title the state still holds today producing over a quarter of the nations total cheese production..
In Wisconsin we take cheese making seriously, as Wisconsin is the only state that requires a licensed cheese maker to be on hand to supervise cheese production and is the only state with a Master Cheese Maker program. Wisconsin is also the home for the Center for Dairy Research which has helped to develop the over 600 variety, types and styles of award winning cheese made in the state. Matter of fact when it comes to national and internationally cheese competition Wisconsin is a slice above the rest. At the 2013 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest Wisconsin cheeses won gold medals in 47 of the 81 categories.
Dairy is also an economic engine for the state as each cow generates $20,000 a year in economic activity throughout their local communities. And the dairy industry has an annual economic impact of 26.5 billion dollars to our states economy.
Certainly Wisconsin's' 11,000 plus dairy farmers and over 130 dairy plants gives us great reasons to celebrate not only in June but all year round. To put it simply, Dairy has been very Gouda for Wisconsin.

The Saddest Part of Having an Aggressive Dog
People don't see the dog you love
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.

Oh, yes. I have one dog who is big and black and not especially beautiful, and missed out on the critical period for socialization due to multiple medical issues. She loved other dogs until about the morning of her first b'day, when she woke up and decided that other dogs- especially small ones- were The Problem. With people, she is forever a sweet, melt-on-your-shoes puppy. She howls when I leave the house, she is overcome with joy to see people she knows. But she would kill some dogs in a heartbeat, so she misses out on most opportunities to make new human friends. (And also continues to miss out on any possible corrective experiences with other dogs, because it's not worth the risk.)

Love this post. I adopted my lab/hound puppy with visions of the bandana-wearing life of the party in my head: the dog I would take everywhere and do everything with. By the time she was a year old, she was food-guarding in the house and actually bit a neighbor (she become dog-aggressive at two). With the help of our trainer, we realized that Lucy is fearful and reactive -- and it took a long time to accept the new parameters of her existence. Once I did, I realized that my main function is to help her avoid (or, minimize, at least!) those trigger events that cause the stress reactions. Even now, it's a frustrating process because not many people understand, even when they mean well: I hear a lot of, "Oh, they'll be fine, just let them work it out," or, "It's alright, dogs like me ..." I find that nose work helps her manage her stress levels -- but I have to make sure it's mainly a solitary activity! Even with the challenges, though, I will say that Lucy has taught me more about animal intelligence, emotions and language than any other dog I've ever known. I would not trade her for the world.

After having a few aggressive dogs in the past who were charming at home and scary elsewhere, I now have a sweet and gentle golden retriever who is a total pacifist. But I'm sometimes frustrated that people think she's such a good girl because she's a golden retriever and not because we spent hours training together and continue to work every day.

Thank you for posting this sympathetic take on aggressive dogs. We have a dog-aggressive dog, a 40lb English Bull Terrier, named Carmen. She is the sweetest dog at home and with our 17-year-old blind and deaf Jack Russell. We have tried every (EVERY!) possible thing to curb her behavior without erasing it. We are hyper-vigilent to protect her (and other dogs) from being part of an incident - thank goodness, nothing untoward has other happened other than scaring a few other people walking their dogs. We have seen an improvement with constant commitment and work. I'd just like to say to others in this situation, these dogs are deserving of love and respect and deserve a commitment to work on it for as long as it takes. We are confident that she will mellow with age; we can see it. But we will always have to think a few more steps ahead than most dog owners.

One of my dogs barks and behaves aggressively when people come to our house, so much so that we need to make sure he's on a leash before they arrive. People have commented that they think we should give him up because he is so unfriendly, but that's not even remotely the case. He gets over excited because it's rare for us to have visitors and doesn't know how to react to the invasion to his territory. He's gentle and friendly when I bring him to work, into dog-friendly stores, and at the park. People don't realize how difficult it is to train him for his bad home behavior when we can't continually work with him because none of our friends or relatives live nearby. Each time someone comes over, the first 15-20 minutes of the visit are spent with us calming him down and getting him used to the idea of others being in our space. He eventually calms down and relaxes, but the breaks are too far between visits to reinforce the training. Most people don't understand this, or choose not to.
Gees, I SO understand this! I wish we could form a support group or have a volunteer list of us who would be willing to play the role of visitors!

This really struck a nerve with me on a day when I came home from work feeling particularly beat up only to be comforted by my 'aggressive' dog.
So she behaves badly around most other dogs because she believes a good offense makes the best defense. So she runs away from people she doesn't know. She welcomes me home with kisses and cuddles.
And those kisses and cuddles mean more than any that come from a dog who is everyone's best friend because they are only for me. They are our sacred bond. She trusts me alone and I honor that trust.
Thank you for this. I needed a good cry tonight.

We had a wonderful rescued Aussie who was so afraid of everyone else he could be quite threatening. With us, he was the soul of gentleness. Once, he found a rabbit crouching in a field. (The rabbit was brown, the field was white with snow). Nick picked up the bunny by the back of the neck, then turned to me, a questioning look in his eyes. I told him to "leave it." He put the rabbit down and came over for a treat. How many dogs would do that? Nick died from renal failure at only eight. I will always remember him as a gentle, gentle soul. And now that I know about desensitization and counter conditioning, I might do better with a future Nick.

This has got to be one the dumbest thought processes I've ever read. Really, the saddest part about having a dog that barks, bites and lunges at people is that those same people don't know how sweet the dog can be? The saddest part about having an aggressive dog is obviously the fact that it bites, barks and/or lunges at people and the owner, or a dog behaviorist, can't do anything about it.

@ mike
Aggressive humans scare me much more, and your tone is both aggressive and condescending. For many people, others' perceptions of their companion are often limited to the situations they witness. Thus, for owners that have chosen to persist in their efforts in ensuring that their companion is both happy and healthy - regardless of their companion's special needs - it must break their heart to see others fear an animal that they experience as such a loving, caring being.

I agree with Mike. Additionally, I find it fascinating that the people attacking him for stating the obvious/disagreeing with the author are acting like those fearful dogs the article mentions.

To me the saddest thing about having an "aggressive" dog is that people lump you and your dog together and ostracise you! :-( I have found people very unpleasant when I have my dog that THEY have labelled as aggressive with me.
Then of course that people behave so badly around dogs that they THINK are aggressive, that any normal dog will react aggressively. Then these people's behaviour makes YOU feel stressed and nervous and your dog's behaviour becomes even worse.
It then becomes very hard to be public with your dog. I found Paul Owens' "complete breathing" technique so liberating for both me and my dog :-)

One of my students recently did a research paper on cyber bullying, an example of which appears above, courtesy of poster Mike. The student found that there were two main factors that contributed to such behavior: 1) the poster's own unhappiness, and 2) the poster's cowardice. Unhappy, but not aggressive enough to spread misery face-to-face, they resort to the comforting anonymity of the internet. Secondarily, I suspect that Mike is both jealous of and threatened by Karen's success. Whatever the cause, Mike set out with the specific intent to hurt Karen's feelings, otherwise his comment would have been worded very differently. The sadness of being a cyber bully must truly be impenetrable.
Dr. London, do I get extra points for using the word "aggressive" in my response?

We have a 12-yr-old Airedale/lab mix who at age 2 began dog-on-dog aggressive behavior, but only when on leash or behind a fence. With proper introductions, he's been OK (although we have limited the contact to females or very passive, neutered males). When we decided to adopt a puppy several years ago, we monitored the introduction and settling-in period closely -- it was fine! Then again last summer, we wanted to adopt another dog from a no-kill shelter. They insisted that we bring our two dogsto the shelter to meet the prospective adoptee. I tried to explain that that situation would not be a fair assessment of our Airedale mix, but they insisted. Sure enough, the sounds,smells and sights of 144 other dogs, plus the fact that they insisted on handling him (with a choke which we never use), made the situation worse and he lunged repeatedly at the young dog we had fallen in love with and wanted to adopt. Needless to say, they wouldn't let us adopt from their facility. I was heartbroken and angry. PS, we adopted another dog from a different, more savvy organization, and our old fella been fine with the new pup at home.
Karen, you nailed it in your essay. As I write this, my little one is curled up beside me, her head on the pillow snoozing. I am counting my blessings. In my case I wish the elder parents I also live with could comprehend the movements that could trigger a negative interaction. When I am home I often see myself as the resource my little one wants to protect..either in general principal, or because she is smart enough to realize the elder male has been physically abusive toward her when her behavior hasn't fit his idea of ideal. The amazing thing is that when I am not at home during the day, the elders and she get along! AND they LOVE her as well. And she shows them great affection. They have refused to be involved in the most minimally demanding training exercises, so that she will learn to respect their requests. When I am home I more often than not keep her on a 6 foot leash. Although we are often in the same room, I am always on guard for the sudden moves I can't get the elders to understand she perceives as a threat. She startles at sudden moves when they are seated, or the rustling of newspaper (because she has been hit with one by one of them). I use my body to block and keep my eye on her, and try to avoid any of them crossing into our space which can (but isn't always) perceived as a threat.
One of the most distressing episodes happened at our vet's office. We have been going for years, and she wags her tail there, loves the staff. At one visit our vet was a bit loud in voice, and reached out (and over her head) toward me to shake my hand and she immediately responded by jumping up and going for his arm with her mouth...but missed. He took it in stride but not without some loud responses like "hey what are you doing knucklehead" and no doubt we wound up with a black mark on our record to warn everyone else for the future...though everyone else seemed to know her prior behavior and is less concerned. At the same visit the elder vet who owns the practice came out abruptly and startled her and she reacted...but I had her completely under my control. He "believed" she would have bit him, and he knew already about the behavior with the other vet. He didn't want her to be problem in the community or with other etc...so presented me with the name of a vet with a behavioral practice.
But all of this is off track from the main question: what I really want people to know is what you said: she is a love you is filled with joy, a desire to protect, who makes me laugh, who loves to snuggle and can learn. She is more devoted and a better friend and family member than one could ask for. She wasn't always like this, she has been treated inappropriately and is reactive. Respect her, and what I convey.

We have a 3 yr old Pit Bull, Eloise. We rescued her as a puppy and she developed fear aggression issues early on. We can only imagine what she was exposed to before we got her. For her safety and others when we have anyone over we harness and muzzle her. It is so sad to see our loving sweet girl look so scary. She and our grandson lay on the floor hugging each other when they are together. She senses when someone is nervous around her and then she becomes nervous in return. It breaks our hearts when my brother - who doesn't like her- says she belongs 6 feet under. Eloise is a sweet loving devoted family dog and I am hoping with age some of her fears will mellow. We are blessed to have such a sweetie. Thank you for writing about this tender issue for those of us who see beyond the aggression to the loving dog within.

Yes, I have one of these aggressive dogs. Max is as sweet as can be at home, always by my side, looking after my older dog, Minnie, and playing with his best buddy, the cat. He is a 9-pound chiweenie and often mistaken for a puppy. He doesn't like any dogs bigger than him and is distrustful of other people, especially men. He came to me as a quivering puppy, afraid of everything and everyone. I don't know what he had been through but he was not in good condition. He has come a long way in the last 2 years but I don't think he will ever be a friendly, trusting friend to all.

I have a 5 year old red nose pitbull who at the age of 3 got attacked by another dog.Since that day he isn't very friendly to other dogs.He is very tall and intimidating to those who don't know him.People call him a beast.let me tell you he is the apple of my eye.I cry when I see the commercial about abandoned and abused dogs and no matter where my big boy is,he comes and licks the tears from my face and he does something to make me smile or laugh everyday.To those who don't smile when they see him or any aggressive dog and just brush them off as bad,it is your loss.

Our Jake is 85+ lbs of fear reactive German Shepherd who is afraid of other people and dogs of all sizes. We adopted him a little over 2 years ago when he was approximately 3. He is truly a joy and a wonder and we often comment that we wish everyone else could see him the way we see him. At home he is a loving, loyal, happy, ball-crazy, smart, cuddly, well-behaved dog. When confronted with someone or something he is afraid of he turns into a barking, lunging, scared dog who believes the best defense is a good offense. We, too, struggle with trying to train him/help him work through his fears as we have very few visitors and no one close by with friendly, "bomb-proof" dogs. It hurts when our parents fail to understand that we are committed to giving Jake the best life possible because we love him and that our choice does not mean we are choosing him over them. Every night before bed I tell him that I love him more than all the stars in the sky and I mean it. He has found his forever home and if others fail to see him the way we see him or fail to try to help us help him - it's their loss. Because Jake deserves a great home and love just like any other dog.

Flashes of Light
Flashes of Light
When the vitreous gel pulls or tugs (causes traction) on the retina, it creates nerve impulses that appear as flashes of light. The flashes are easier to see when you are looking at a dark area. They may come and go.
Flashes of light do not always mean that you have a retinal problem. They often are harmless. They may also be a symptom of a migraine headache. If you see flashing lights for the first time, or if they are different from any you have seen before, call your doctor immediately.

Compression Devices
A compression device is a "compression alternative" which provides a wider range of compression than other traditional compression garments. Easy to use, it provides steady and comfortable resting compression, as well as higher working compression when the wearer is active. A compression device is usually worn after completion of complete decongestive therapy, or "CDT", and during the secondary or "maintenance" phase of Lymphedema treatment.
A wide array of compression devices have been designed to accommodate the body's anatomical structure to include those which are designed specifically for the hands, the arm,and lower extremities such as the thigh, calf and foot.
A compression device may be an easy-to-apply alternative for patients who:
- Struggle donning traditional compression garments, due to weak hand strength, bad back or inability to bend
- Have nonstandard limb shapes
- Have fragile skin or painful limbs that are easily aggravated by traditional compression garments
- Suffer from frequent swelling fluctuation
- Suffer from arterial disease and who cannot tolerate constant high compression levels
