Saw a Briard at the West Michigan Harvest Cluster Dog show. The breed is from France and is part of the herding group. This is a demanding dog in that they need ample exercise, and grooming.

This student team had 15-20 minutes to come up with a Holiday Concept for a Business Christmas card. I thought they did a super job. I would have like to see the use of the ClipCleany logo dog, even though their dog was more realistic. I also really like their message without using the word poop. Clever. Good job

Went to the West Michigan Harvest Cluster dog show. Had a great time watching the different breeds and the people. In the clip above this Great Dane shows somes rough love to his handler. You can see they have a pretty strong bond and she was able to to control him after a bit. The dog was gorgeous, but animals are…um animals. The dog didn’t place in this ring, I wonder if the judges saw this…..

There it was this ugly wart-like tumor growing out of our dog, Duncan. I was very scared and my mind raced directly to how was I going to tell the kids. I had the growth sent out by my vet to the Michigan State Veternarian School to have it analyzed to see if it was cancerous. It turned out to be a benign growth that is somewhat common to retrievers. In a recent front page article in the Grand Rapids Press entitled “Is the cure for cancer found in canines?” http://tinyurl.com/y83838x, dogs and dogs with cancerous tumors and cancer-causing genes were helping with cancer research by providing research material for the scientist at Van Andel institute. Some of the scientist were studying hemangiosarcoma, a cancer to the blood vessels in Clumber Spaniels. This research helps both man and animals. If your dog has cancer and you would like to donate the DNA please contact Dr. Roe Froman. Our dear canines once again, give back to us so much, hopefully through research we can give back to them as well.
