Scruffy He's a- Scruffador!     Barked: Wed Jun 19, '13 6:41pm PST  UPDATE: HB 5027 *CVA priority bill Require pet shops to convert to selling only cats and dogs from non-profit rescue organizations; ban the sale of commercially-bred cats and dogs As of 6/4: Passed, as amended to establish a task force to investigate pet shops and the origins of the animals they sell. The language to ban the sale of commercially bred cats and dogs will be raised next session. PET SHOP TASK FORCE PASSED! Read more here: http://www.ctvotesforanimals.org/ (Please remember to remove any spaces that may appear in the URL.) ------------------------------------------ HB 5027 was originally intended to ban the sale of commercially bred cats and dogs in pet shops, but it is exceptionally rare to pass legislation this strong in one session. The legislature was simply not ready to vote on this bill, and instead HB 5027 was amended to establish a task force to further examine and educate lawmakers about the horrors of puppy mills, and their sale in Connecticut pet shops. CVA, the ASPCA, and the HSUS will all have representation on this task force, and it will be led by Rep. Brenda Kupchick, who has tirelessly championed this bill. The findings of this task force are due January 2014. Next session, the language to ban the sale of commercially-bred cats and dogs will be raised in committee and given a hearing, with the potential to pass the legislature! We have every reason to hope we will succeed! Please thank Rep. Brenda Kupchick, whose heroic efforts to lobby her colleagues drove home the message that Connecticut needs to stand for humane businesses, instead of exploiting the weak and voiceless. Rep. Kupchick can be reached at brenda.kupchick@cga.ct.gov Read more here: http://www.ctvotesforanimals.org/content.aspx?page_id=5&club_ id=86887&item_id=22997&action=view&al=y&actr=2 (Please remember to remove any spaces that may appear in the URL.) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Lily Woof!     Barked: Wed Jun 19, '13 1:55pm PST  Whoops, just noticed that my last post got cut off... I also like that Tropiclean is made with natural ingredients, and here is the ingredient list for Tropiclean Papya Luxury 2 in 1 in case anyone was interested.

Grooming > best moisturizing shampoo?

Lily Woof!     Barked: Wed Jun 19, '13 10:54am PST  I switched because I wanted something more moisturizing and soap free. I used to use an oatmeal shampoo and sometimes it would dry out my dogs' skin and with the Tropiclean 2 in 1 their skin doesn't get died out after a bath. I think it having the added conditioner really makes a difference. Tropiclean also makes separate shampoos and a separate conditioner but I've only tried the 2 in 1 so far. The scent is not so light that you can't even smell it but it's not overpowering and does not have an artificial purfume smell. I the human am sensitive to smells and I get a headache from strong artificial purfume scents and I never have an issue with the Tropiclean scents, which to me is also a plus. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Uh oh, P & G screws up again!!!

Lily Woof!     Barked: Wed Jun 19, '13 8:11am PST  Saw a post on FB from our local feed store that they are dropping their entire line of California Naturals, Evo, Innova, Healthwise, Mother Nature and Karma now because of all these recent recalls. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Is this really the proper way to use a prong collar?

Lily Woof!     Barked: Mon Jun 17, '13 6:11pm PST  Yep, and so many resourced that have conflicting info are being promoted as the correct and only way. No, I have no plans to ever use a prong collar, I was just curious because recently I've seen a lot of anti prong collar things and every anti prong thing explained how prong collars were used so differently. Then the resources that said they were the correct way to use one were also all different and said using one these other ways were wrong. So I was like super confused by all of that. Personally, I don't have an issue with prong collars as long as whoever is using a prong collar correctly or has the guidance of a trainer who knows how to use them correctly. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Scruffy He's a- Scruffador!     Barked: Mon Jun 17, '13 1:17pm PST  Hope all goes well and that it's nothing serious!! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Lily Woof!     Barked: Mon Jun 17, '13 1:02pm PST  Thanks Nare! That really helps clear things up for me since there is so much bad and wrong info out there on prong collars that things get really confusing really quickly. I also agree that it's better to build confidence with structured training and by staying under threshold and by building trust with your dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
