Jack in Ruby's Crate

Hi,


Caught Jack sleeping in Ruby's new crate for his afternoon nap.


Jack got his own big crate but somehow like to cramp himself inside Ruby's crate, more cosy?


The second photo showed Jack's head outside the crate and on the floor...ha..ha....


My wife said he needs a pillow..ha...ha...!




















Look at how Jack curled his body inside the crate.

























When Jack straightened his body inside the crate, his head is outside and on the floor...ha..ha.....!

Yet, he was ok with it....?

Jack and Ruby - Afternoon Nap

Hi,

Took this photo from the window with my mobile or cellphone.

Ruby loves to lie on her back and it is very unusual indeed. But my friends from the Corgi community told me that their Corgis do it too...ha..ha...ha....

Jack sleeps in various positions but never on his back like Ruby. Maybe he is too big to do the balancing act.

So how does your dog sleep....?

Check out an amazing video of a dog saving another dog that had been hit by a car on the highway.

The heroic canine runs into traffic and drags the severely injured dog out of harm's way.

Rather unbelievable.

San Francisco SPCA Warns of Increase in Deadly Dog Disease Canine Parvovirus Linked to San Francisco Parks

The San Francisco SPCA today warned that its Veterinary Hospital has seen a dramatic increase in the number of young and adolescent dogs it has diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus - seven cases this month compared to one case per month in past years. All of the infected dogs have spent time in Golden Gate Park and in the Haight District. “We urge all dog guardians who frequent these areas to make sure their dogs’ inoculations are current,” said Jan McHugh-Smith, President of The SF/SPCA.

San Francisco (PRWEB) November 10, 2008 — The San Francisco SPCA today warned that its Veterinary Hospital has seen a dramatic increase in the number of young and adolescent dogs it has diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus - seven cases this month compared to one case per month in past years. All of the infected dogs have spent time in Golden Gate Park and in the Haight District. “We urge all dog guardians who frequent these areas to make sure their dogs’ inoculations are current,” said Jan McHugh-Smith, President of The SF/SPCA.

“We can treat dogs with Parvo, although it is a serious and life threatening disease,” said Dr. Jack Aldridge, Director of Veterinary Services at The SF/SPCA. “There is a survival rate of almost 80%, if it is treated quickly. Symptoms of the disease include lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea. If your dog has these symptoms, take him/her to your veterinarian right away.”

Canine Parvovirus is a hardy virus that can persist in the environment. Prevention includes inoculation against the disease, which is spread through contact with feces or vomit containing the virus. Contamination is known to exist on objects such as clothing, food dishes, floors and the earth for five months or longer, in the right conditions.

Puppies should not be exposed to infected areas until their vaccination series is complete. The generally recommended protocol is to vaccinate puppies against parvovirus beginning at 6-8 weeks of age, and revaccinating every 3 weeks until the puppy is 16-20 weeks of age. A booster is given at one year of age and every 1-3 years thereafter.
