RE: National Celiac Disease Awareness Day

It's a fascinating conversation! Well worth having. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is not a contact dermatitis. it is an auto immune reaction to the ingestion of gluten. So if a kid is crawling on the floor and the dogs drool and then picks up a crumb and eats it yes, they will ingest it. Is that enough to ...

Well, as a celiac myself, this post is a tad misleading. Unless you are French kissing your dog right after they eat their kibble, it is likely not an issue. Of course, if you don't wash your hands after handling a gluten containing kibble yes you can ingest a small amount. And for many a small amount ...

we will continue to try to find a way even if we can't work with the food pantry. It is one of the benefits of being in a small community. The local pet store manager grew up here and is on our volunteer fire department so we all work together For the community, for events, etc. between that store and ...

Well, it's truly a small world. Stacy, I just read your bio and my brother and his wife just moved from Merrimack mass to Maine now Retired. They were not involved with Rescue much of your work is in their neighborhood so to speak. But as far as the food insecurity issues, I'm president of a very small ...

RE: World Immunization Week: Protecting People & Pets

Well, I'm giggling. I had no idea that it was world immunization week and we have our annual pet shot clinic this weekend! I will try to have that on the radar and make that intentional rather than serendipitous in the future. In our immediate area, we don't see parvovirus, but not far in any direction ...

RE: Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) & Pets

One of the great joys, as we move into spring, here in the mountains of northern New Mexico, is the arrival of the hummingbirds for the season. I have had a few conversations with locals who are deciding not to put out feeders because of the concern for the avian flu. It's certainly a conundrum because ...

we have TNR resources here an interesting question if there's an ordinance regarding TNR, I would have to look that up. But we have two free spay neuter clinics that both take walk-in TNR cats. That is not something animal control ever does. They won't even trap a stray dog, but they will loan us the ...

I consider us very lucky (it is only part luck and a whole lot of cooperation, but still.) to have an amazing AC officer or two. They appreciate the work we do that saves them from having to pick up dumped or stray animals. We had a small dog stuck on a cliff a few years ago. A friend and I scaled the ...

We have or had an attorney who specialized in writing arrangements, setting up a trust etc. forces if we predecease them. The planning would include placement, either with family, friends, rescue or sanctuary. Specialized estate planning. I have wondered how many offer this service. ------------------------------ ...

You're welcome. I wish there were better answers. And anyone and Rescue knows how hard this work is. But if we each can do a little bit then it's a little bit better! ------------------------------ JUDITH PEARSON President The Dixon Animal Protection Society NM ------------------------------

We recently had to address this topic. We were asked by a local pet owner if she could leave her animals to us in her will in case of her untimely demise. She is older as are her pets, but we could not commit to accepting her pets. We don't have the resources to do that and, it's such suppressant for ...

RE: Is getting more rest one of your New Year's resolutions? Co-sleeping with pets may effect that!

I have a sleep disorder, sleep is difficult to come by but having my dog with me is a comfort and hearing her little Frenchie snores is soothing. She has had cancer for 3 years and 9 months. Not having her close would make it difficult to sleep. Having her near, I know I can act if something happens ...
