Dog boarding can be stressful for your dog. A change in diet can add to the stress on their body, possibly
resulting in diarrhea or vomiting. The best way to prevent this is for you to bring your dog’s regular food. We do
not charge any extra fees for special diets. We are even raw food diet capable. We can’t stress enough the
importance of feeding your dog their regular food. If your dogs are known not to eat well while boarding, please bring along something that can be added to their food to make it more desirable. Only if its something they are used to having as a treat. We will give you a dog boarding form to fill out giving us instructions on feeding your dogs.

you have. We do not have any hidden costs or add-ons, such as fees to feed your dog a special diet, administer
medications or take your dog for extra walks. If your dogs are chronically ill or need injections you will have to
consider boarding them with a veterinarian.

What-If and What-Is: The Role of Speculation in Science
Modoc's Comments:
There has been a lot of articles about the origins of dogs. There are no clear
answers. Some researcher have speculated and came up with some great stuff
about how the dog came about and when. The problem is its not scientific prof.
The idea of the speculation is to get the thinking process started and come up
with ideas based on scientific prof. So far scientist are coming up short on when
and where dogs were domesticated. This is a great article give it a read.
By JAMES GORMAN for The New York Times
Woody Allen once said that when you do comedy, you sit at the children’s table.
The same might be said of speculation in science. And yet speculation is an
essential part of science. So how does it fit in? Two recent publications, both
about the misty depths of canine and human history, suggest some answers. In
one, an international team of scientists concludes that we really don’t know
when and where dogs were domesticated. Greger Larson of the University of
Durham, in England, the first of 20 authors of that report, said of dog DNA, “It’s
a mess.”

Dog Trainer Says Owners Hold Blame For Dog Attacks
Modoc's Comments:
Dogs do need to be trained, there is no doubt about it. If a dog is not trained
and socialized properly it will have problems. It really does not matter the breed
either. Dogs that are known to be good and nice dogs can be aggressive if not
trained correctly. Dogs that have been trained correctly even if they are known
to be the kind of dog that is aggressive can be the most gentlest. This article
has a lot of truth to it. Read this article and make sure you are dealing with you
dog correctly.
By ABC-7 Reporter Vanessa de la Viña
LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Las Cruces has seen several pit bull attacks in the past
few weeks, including one that resulted in the death of a baby girl. One trainer
who specializes in handling aggressive dogs told ABC-7 it's not the breed of the
dog that matters, it's what they're taught by the owner. April Oxford trains all
breeds of dogs, and she said preventing dog attacks comes down to teaching
the canines some manners. Oxford spends most of her days training breeds
like pit bulls, rottweilers and German shepherds how to behave. She said many
of these "bullying-type" dogs have the tendency to lash out when they're
scared, but owners need to teach them not to.

Dogs help researchers track turtles
Modoc's Comments:
Box turtles are in danger of going extinct. Researchers have been collecting the
turtles and studying them to find out what is the cause. Their best way to collect
the turtles is the use of dogs. Dogs can find more turtles then the researchers
ever could. A man by the name John Rucker found out his dogs were great at
finding the turtles and bringing them back to the researchers. The dogs are
Boykin Spaniels. They have a soft bite and do not hurt the turtles. This story is
a great read check it out.
By Tracy Moss for News Gazette
OAKWOOD — It's sunny and cool early Wednesday morning in a quiet, mostly
empty campground at Kickapoo State Park. John Rucker sits at a picnic table
next to his tent eating his usual in-the-field breakfast of oats and raisins. His
turtle-hunting dogs spent the night close by in makeshift pens in the back of
Rucker's well-worn 1992 red minivan that's logged more than 400,000 miles
across 10 states, carrying Rucker and his dogs to various turtle-hunting jobs.
Sometimes oats are also lunch and supper for Rucker. It's difficult to take eight
Boykin Spaniels to a local restaurant or hotel. So Rucker, who prefers "a tent to
anything," makes do at local campgrounds, like the one at Kickapoo where he's
spent the last three nights with little more than a tent, his van, a little food, a
couple water containers, a few bags of clothes and a guitar.

Disagreeable people 'prefer aggressive dogs'
Modoc's Comments:
Researchers have found out that we do match our dogs. People that are more
likely to be aggressive are more likely to pick a dog that is known to be
aggressive. The opposite is true with people that tend to be less aggressive will
get a dog that is known to be nice. The study used more then 200 people with a
standard psychological personality tests. It was conclusive that the personality
matched the dog they would want to have. Check out this article it is very
interesting.
By www.bbc.co.uk
"Less agreeable" people are more likely to prefer dogs associated with
aggression, according to psychologists. A study at the University of Leicester
compared human personality type with the breed of dog they would choose.
Dogs with a reputation for aggression were more popular with people who were
"less concerned with the needs of others and quicker to become hostile".
Researchers say the results support the idea that dogs are likely to match their
owners.
