We made pictures as a fund raiser for “NANA KISKA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION”
for Canine & Feline Cancer Research

Nana Kiska, white shepherd, helped promote Orange aPEEL® products. She was at work everyday for over 9 years, meeting and greeting customers. She appeared at walk-a-thons and store openings in support of our products as well as being featured in our ads and posters. When Nana succumbed to cancer it was a devastating blow. We were moved to establish a foundation to raise much needed funds for canine & feline cancer research.

With the support of it’s family of employees, dealers, distributors, suppliers and customers Orange aPEEL® will be donating a percentage of the sale of our pet shampoo and our “new” Orange aPEEL® for Pets to help fight this deadly disease. Life is precious. If you or your company wish to help call 1-800-956-6866 or write to Orange aPEEL, 487 Book Rd. W., Ancaster, Ont. L9G 3L1

WHELPING ROOM PROGRESS - All drywall is in place now

Jazzie was spayed yesterday and she is now officially retired from breeding. Spay will prevent her from having ovarian and/or uterus cancer or uterus infection that if undetected may be fatal. Spaying an older female is a must and if you do not want to breed you should spay your dog at around 4-6 months.

VARIOHYSTERECTOMY (Spay)

The surgery is performed under sterile operating room conditions with the animal under a general anesthetic, and involves the removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus (womb) through an abdominal incision. After this operation, the female will not come into heat, and will have neither the interest nor the capacity to breed.

There is NO ADVANTAGE in waiting for the female to have a heat period or litter before being spayed. Apart from sexual activity, spaying has no effect on a female’s temperament. A bitch will not be ruined for obedience training or hunting.

Advantages of Ovariohysterectomy
1. Males are not attracted to your property
2. Less tendency to wander from home.
3. No bloody discharge from the bitch in heat.
4. No unwanted pregnancies, thus contributing to the control of the pet population and the problem of unwanted litters.
5. No reproductive problems in later life, e.g. false pregnancies, uterine infections, birth complications, including cesarean sections, milk fever, breast tumors.
6. Reduced rate dog license after spaying.

Benefits Of Dog Kennel
Getting a dog kennel is not a must for all dogs, however having one can be beneficial if the dog are not enclosed in
a fenced yard. Buying a dog kennel is less expensive than the cost of fencing an entire yard, making these
structures invaluable to people who would like to permit their dogs to run outside, but who can not afford the
expense of an entire fence.

Other than being a less expensive method of providing an area for the dog to run, a dog kennel can also be a part of
responsible dog ownership that provides benefits to the dog, to the owner, and to their neighborhood as well. The
outdoor dog kennel can be used to:
• Provide protection to “intact” (unspayed) bitches,
• To prevent fights between the owner’s dogs and neighborhood dogs, and to
• Protect the neighbors and other people from dog aggression
Although it is a responsible act to spay or neuter your intact pets, some people purposefully do not do so. These
people are often breeders of dogs for conformation shows or are people that exhibit dogs in such shows. Because it
is not permissible to spay or neuter dogs that are entered in such shows, these individuals must find a way to
contain their intact dogs, particularly in the case of a bitch in heat.
It is important to note, however, that the dog owner still must maintain awareness of the bitch in question. Even
kennels with six-foot tall walls are not entirely safe when a bitch is in heat; dogs have been known to scale fences
that high, particularly when chain link provides footholds for the climb.
In addition to providing protection for intact bitches, a dog kennel can prevent fights between the owner’s dogs and
the neighborhood dogs. This feat is accomplished by preventing the owner’s dogs from roaming into other dog’s
territory by virtue of them being confined.
In addition, neighborhood dogs that are free to roam can not start fights on the dog owner’s property if his or her
own dogs are confined. This confinement has an added benefit: if neighborhood dogs are targeted by animal control,
either for roaming or for aggression, the dog owner with a kennel is freed of concern over his or her dog being
picked up as a transgressor.
Finally, not every dog is a friendly one when strangers come onto “his” (or “her”) property. Dogs are by nature
territorial. For this reason, if a dog does not know someone coming up the walk, then that person might be in
danger of being attacked if the dog is running loose. An outdoor kennel also goes a long way to preventing the
family dog from coming to harm from, or from being stolen by, passing strangers.

The Third Week

During this week, the puppy’s other senses start to
operate.Their eyes are open now.They can detect light and dark, as well as movement,
and will respond to large or sudden sounds. They will start
to interact with his brothers and sisters, and he starts
developing social skills by this interaction, i.e.,
touching them with his paws and mouth.
They learns to crawl, and his tail begins to wag. They can also
venture from his mother to urinate on his own. In some
cases, puppies, though not weaned, can be fed liquid food
suggested by a veterinarian.
