I wouldn't be so sure.  My *indoor* dogs do go *outdoors* long enough
to relieve themselves.  They are put on a cable in a mowed, kept-up back
yard for short periods of time for this purpose.  They *have* come back
in with ticks.  It surprised me.  I live in town and was not expecting
ticks in my backyard.  I had gotten our vet to give them lyme shots
prior to finding the ticks because I do every once in awhile take them
out to the country with me, but they had been exclusively at the house
in town when the tick was discovered.  So I'd have to say that
  indoor dog <> no risk.

I am very gratified to hear that there is no such limitation.  Thank
you.  Previous postings on this subject emphasized compilation of
BREED rescue groups.  I figured the modifier was there for a reason.
(Also there was at least once message that heavily implied only
purebred rescue groups, possibly not from you).  Again, thank you for
including all of our furry canine friends.  I'll get togther some info
on NARF and NIKE animal rescue (they do cats/birds/reptiles too) and
send it along.

  I had a German Shepard as a kid and really liked it.  Doubt if I
would accept one today because they have a genetic deformity called
hip displasia.  Most of them carry it, and they often end up totally
crippled by the time they're a year or two old.
  Maybe you could look into the Australian Cattle Dog.  They have not
been so overbred in this country yet as to have overwhelming physical
problems.

We have a 15 week old Miniature Schnauzer that we adore.  Since we got her
I started reading this newsgroup.  I've especially enjoyed all the chewing
stories.  We were at the Vet last weekend and I copied down this information
which I thought would be interesting to post.

	age of dog	approx. equivalent
	  years		    human age
        ----------------------------------

	   1 ----------------- 13

	   7 ----------------- 45		"Senior Status"

						50-90 ----- 8.5
						90+ ------- 7.5

I thought someone asked for this information a while back but I really
don't remember.  This is from and Gaines (I think) glossy brocure for

  You did not say one single word about how the trial owners felt
about Zorro.
  Were they interviewed before he was sent to them?  If so, how is it
that they are so willing to give him up?
  It is stressful to anyone to be dragged out of a family, no matter
what family it is.  Also, it takes time to Bond to a new family. The
dog won't be especially happy before it bonds, and for that matter,
neither will the new owners.  The bond doesn't form overnight, or a
week.  It can be several weeks, with the relationship strengthening
over a number of Years.
  I doen't seem that the new adoptive owners are at all experienced
with dogs.  Didn't you find that out before you sent the dog to them? 
I'm not discounting a new dog owner, but If they are brand new, you
should expect to be there to offer support at first for things like
housebreaking and the like.  Were they leaving the dog alone in the
house all day, then complaining when he wet on the carpet?
  do let us know what happens with ZZorr.  A successful adoption can
be an incredibly heartwarming experience.  Don't be afraid to ask for
help yourself.  I think you have the makings of an great adoption
councellor!

Netters:

	After the episodes with my previous Rotties, I'm
very interested in the security of my current baby, Moses.
He's checking out good health- and bone-wise, so I'm taking
him to get him tatooed this weekend.

	The person who will do the tatooing was suggested
by my vet.  She requires that the tatoo begin with "NDR"
to alert people to which registry this dog is registered.
Good idea.  My question is, what do I do for the rest of
the tatoo?  How long do I make it?

	I've never done this before, so if any of you have
advice or words of encouragement, please send them A.S.A.P.
They said that I'd have to bring some people with me to hold
him down.  Is this going to hurt him? :(  Yikes!  I don't 
think I could stand it if he was hurt.

	Thanks for your opinions.

One more thing I forget to say in my previous post about Lyme vaccine:

Apparently it is pretty widely accepted among medical & veterinary Lyme disease
researchers that Lyme disease *usually* cannot be transmitted unless an
infected tick bites (either animal or human - cows are susceptible, too) AND
remains on the host FOR A FAIRLY LONG TIME (like, days, not hours).  So (around
here, anyway, where Lyme is quite widespread) it is usually considered to be
adequate for Lyme disease prevention to check the body for ticks after
returning from a tick infested area, & remove any that you might find.  I can
tell you that among my immediate neighbors & myself, we have removed literally
100's of ticks from ourselves, our families, and our animals, but so far (out
of 15 humans, 5 dogs & 2 cats) only 1 human & 0 animals have actually
contracted Lyme disease.  The usual treatment for Lyme disease, should you or
your dog(s) get it, is 10 days of amoxycilin (for cows, dogs or humans), or
some other antibiotic if allergic...   The only real danger from Lyme disease
is from *untreated* Lyme disease, which can become chronic & eventually cause
arthritis & heart problems.  But if you're alert, you can (1) prevent it; & (2)
catch & treat any infection early, before it becomes serious.

You might try making a tape recording of the howling -- a good LONG

you are dealing with?  You can't appreciate how bad this can be until you

Date: 10 Nov 92 20:03:54 GMT

Organization: University of Washington, Seattle



A friend of mine has a really cute dog.  I am personally friends with
this dog.  Duffy (the dog) loves the outdoors, and is a much better
climber than I am.  (However, as somebody already asked, Duffy lives
indoors.  He's not one of these chained-to-the-fence-guarding-the-used-
car-lot kind of dogs!  In fact, if someone broke in, he would probably
make friends with the intruder, so you might also want to keep an
attack cat on the premises to carry out the guard duties.)

The problem is that my friend's landlords have a weight restriction of
15 lbs for dogs, and Duffy has now reached his terminal weight of 30 lbs.
He is really not a big dog by my standards, but I guess they mainly want
poodles at my friend's apartment building.

My friend is planning to buy a house in the intermediate future, but until
then he needs to find Duffy a temporary home.

So let's say you are planning to leave the Seattle area in a year or two, and
don't want to get involved with a permanent dog.  How would you like to
adopt Duffy for a while to tide you over?  If it works for human
relationships, maybe it can work with dogs, too.  Needless to say, you'd
be doing my friend (and Duffy) a big favour.  I imagine my friend would
gladly pay all of Duffy's food and medical expenses during this period.

I don't know much about dogs myself.  If you are interested, email me
and I'll tell you what kind he is (after I find out myself).  He looks
like a small variant of the husky, with long hair.  He's really
exceptionally charming.  I usually don't like dogs, but this one won
my heart, and I hope that someone will take an interest in his future.

Hi Netters!  This is my first post so please bear with me.  I am having a
hard decision and could use some help, advise, and maybe experience stories.

I found a hole in my dog's upper canine molar.  After seeing a specialist, the
options open to me are extraction or a root canal.  The root canal being
almost 3x as much in cost.  My dog is 10 1/2 and is expected to live another
4-8 years based on his parents health.  If he were much younger, I would
definitely go for the root canal, but at 10, I am confused, how much does he
really need this tooth?  Am I being cruel thinking that we can take care of it
by just pulling the tooth?  

Has anyone had root canals done on their dog's teeth?  If so, how did it turn
out and how old was your dog when you had it done.

thanks for any help on this,

Evidently the first hard frost kills off the ones outside, but I keep up

I hope you all aren't sick of my Buffy Tales.  If so, just hit 'n'.

This morning Buffy (4-mo-old Cocker) & I were walking in the woods.  It had
been raining & there was plenty of gooey mud.  Buffy was tracking away, nose to
the ground, after (???... who knows; she always walks in the woods like that).
I had seen a few hoof prints, but hadn't thought much of it.

Suddenly Buffy goes off the trail, looking pretty purposeful, nose still to the
ground, sniffing vigorously.  About 30 yards from the trail she stops, nose
straight out, doggone nearly in a Point.  She gives one good "Woof!" and this
small (probably yearling) Doe bounds out out of the bush & freezes.  Buffy
freezes, staring at it, which I take it to be part of her breeding to do,
though not necessarily with Deer!  You can kind of see her genes & her
personality fighting with each other; Cockers were bred to be gun-dogs, but
Buffy DESPERATELY wantsd to make friends & *PLAY* with this little Doe. 
Suddenly all the BarkBarkBarkBarkBark's that she's holding in explode in one
not-quite-stifled "Yi-Bark!?"  The Doe takes off in a huge hurry, & Buffy just
watched & let out with a little <*whine*>, as if to say "I'm confused;  why
won't anybody play with me?"  

Y'know, I hadn't thought there were any deer left in those woods.

Hello,
	I have a few things to air out so read if you like.

First, is it possible for a dog to decide it has an inferiority
complex?  Lately both my wife and I have noticed that Beamer has
been walking with his head lower than his body more and more.  He
acts like he just got yelled at for something.  If you call him or
want to play ball, he perks up and acts normal but then back to
moping.  Maybe he doesn't feel well.  I'll keep an eye on him.

Second, in the what is this world coming to category, yesterday
in South Bend, a man's sons where shooting rocks with a sling shot
at a neighbor's dog.  When the neighbor son, 14, came out with a
ball bat to stop the rock flingers, the man whose sons where throwing
the rocks shot the boy with the bat with a 22 rifle and killed him.
He also shot his friend but he lived.  When the judge set the trial
date for Friday the 13th the man said, "That's my unlucky day."
South Bend in on record pace for murders this year but that is for
another newsgroup, sorry.

Third, if you watched Good Morning America this morning you may have
seen the story about the robot they used in a surgery (a glorified
drill press really) you might have noticed that the inventor of the
