Among all the animals in the world, it is the faithful dog that evokes the most positive emotions in people. Being pack animals, dogs are known for their loyalty and allegiance to their masters. These animals can also prove to be faithful companions when times are tough. As such, there is a bond that grows between humans and dogs that expand into multitudes of cultures. This is what gives way to the symbolism of dogs in Tibetan Buddhism. In this mode of Buddhism, dogs rise far above being mere pets. Instead, they take on many components of religious symbolism. This is why the imagery of dogs in Tibetan Buddhism deserves a closer examination. Such an exploration will reveal much of the somewhat hidden symbolism these four legged creatures represent.
One of the common questions people will ponder is the notion of what does it mean to be a human being. The response commonly given in some circles of Tibetan Buddhism will be What is the meaning of being a dog? Such a riddle can definitely take people aback because it does raise a number of interesting philosophical and humanist points. In particular, it shows that the answer to what it is to be any type of living creature is not easy to arrive at. In an expansion of this symbolic koan, many Tibetan monks have taken to become breeders and caretakers of dogs. They will then integrate the care of the dogs into their daily spiritual practice. This allows them to look at the animals. From this, they can make comparisons between the animals and the humans who care for them. This opens the door to a deeper understanding of the human condition and human nature. Or at least that is the common plan.
However, to call the process in which monks will raise the dogs mere breeding would be to downplay the great effectiveness that they perform with their tasks. The process is more than just breeding the dogs and finding them a home. It is also about raising the dogs and being more in tune to the needs of the animals. Dogs, obviously, will communicate differently than humans will. As such, it becomes necessary for the Tibetan monks to pay close attention to the dogs body language, behavior, and actions. This enhances the ability to effectively train the dog can prove possible. It also enhances the potential to understand human behavior during this process.
By having to pay close attention to the dogs behavior and communications, the monks develop a sense of being in tune with the reactions of living beings. This makes them more aware of others and such skills can certainly enhance the potential to work, live, and co-exist with others. This can lead to a more harmonious life which can enhance the quality of human life to a great degree.
This is the end result of a lifetime of developing intuitive skills deriving from caring for their beloved dogs. Such skills are integrated into many other areas and aspects of life and this is certainly a good thing. So, you could consider the dog breeding of the Tibetan monks to be a gateway into their soul.
In many ways, there is an integration of all living beings since they must be harmonious and co-exist. If not then it would be next to impossible for anyone to live a life that was worth living. Rather, they would be living in conflict with others which are certainly not a means that is helpful. The concept of breeding dogs in Tibetan monasteries plays a large role in this regard.

You're watching FreeSchool! Hi, everyone! Today we're going to learn about
birds. Birds are a large group of animals. They are
vertebrates, which means they have backbones, and, like mammals, they are warm-blooded.
All birds have two legs, wings and feathers, a beak or bill, and they lay eggs. Birds can
be found everywhere in the world, from the frigid antarctic, to hot desert climates,
to oceans.
They range in size from the tiny bee hummingbird - only 5 cm or 2 inches in
length - to the ostrich - 2.75 Meters or 9 feet tall. There are more than 10,000 species
of birds in the world. Birds are everywhere! Birds eat many different types of food. Some
eat insects, some eat fish.
Some eat meat, and some eat seeds, fruit, or nectar. Most
birds fly, but not all of them. Some birds, like penguins, use their wings to help them
swim instead. Other birds, like the ostrich, don't need to fly because they can run so
fast.
Still others, like the kiwi, were able to do without flight because the islands on
which they live had few native predators. Birds are some of the most colorful animals
on the planet. While many birds have feathers that are brown, gray, black, or white, colors
that help camouflage them and hide them from sight, other birds put on beautiful displays.
In many cases, when we see a brightly colored bird, it is the male. Females are often more
quiet colors that make them harder to spot.
The male birds wear their bright bold feathers
to show the females how strong and healthy they are, so the females know they would make
a good father. Once eggs have been laid, someone has to take
care of them. In some bird species, both parents take turns keeping the eggs warm, or incubating
them. In others, only one parent does.
Once the eggs have been laid, they may take as
little as 10 days to hatch, or as many as 80. When the eggs hatch, the baby birds need help
to survive - some more than others. Some baby birds hatch blind and featherless, and need
to be fed and kept warm by their parents. Other chicks are ready to run around and eat
the same day they hatch out.
There are even a few kinds of birds that can fly and take
care of themselves as soon as they hatch! Other birds, however, will take care of their
chicks for a very long time. The greater frigatebird will help feed and take care of its chick
for almost two years after it hatches. Many types of birds are important to humans.
Some birds are kept for their eggs or meat. Some birds are kept for their beautiful feathers.
Still other birds are kept as pets.
Most birds, however, are wild animals, and while we may
enjoy watching them, they should be left alone. I hope you enjoyed learning about birds today.
Goodbye till next time!.

Many of us understand the impact stress has our lives. We work to keep that stress to a minimum, but it's an inevitable part of life. What most of us fail to realize, however, is how much the stress of our lives increases the stress on our pets.
What parts of our life will increase the stress of our companion pets? Here are a few examples:
Interpersonal Stress
Troubled Kids
Significant Loss (especially of a master)
Moves
Changes in the Home
Natural Disasters
These are all natural occurrences in life, but they can negatively impact our pets as well as us.
Knowing When Your Dog is Stressed
Many of the signs of extra stress in your dog may also be connected to other problems. Ignoring them could be hazardous for your pet. Here are a few of these signs to watch for:
Self Chewing - while most companion pets will chew a little as a form of cleaning, excessive chewing is indicative of high stress.
Destructive Behavior - While some dogs are naturally inclined to some destructive behavior, this would be in excess of what's normal for your companion pet.
Anxiety when separated from you.
Lack of appetite and refusal to open mouth.
Diarrhea or constipation.
Unusually passive behavior including keeping tail between the legs or avoiding eye contact.
The time to be concerned with these behaviors is when they become excessive or increased from what's normal. If you do see an increase, start evaluating the stress factors your companion may be experiencing.
Physical Effects
Just like humans, exposure to a highly stressful environments and situations can take a physiological toll on your dog. These can include:
Ulcers
Stress related diarrhea
Stomach Upset
Skin irritation
Helping Your Dog Deal with Stress
While we may just have to muscle through stress, we can often help our pets so they remain happy and healthy. Here are some tips on how:
Give your dog "happy" attention
Dogs have the ability to help us feel better when we're down due to their physical empathy. While this may help the master a little, if this is habitual it has a severe negative impact in the psychological wellbeing of the animal. The solution is to "fake" happiness when you're with them, much like you would with a toddler.
Board your dog
While in the process of changing your dog's environment, consider boarding them for a short time. While dogs are great at adapting to new environments, they don't deal well with the change process. Removing them from a chaotic environment will help reduce their stress.
Socialization will decrease stress.
Make use of a dog park or a doggie daycare several times a week to help ensure your pet is getting enough socialization.
Be sure to give your dog the help they need for coping with stressful times. This will help ensure a longer, happy life for both of you.

Your dog can get heartburn too, just like you can. It has the same causes as it does in humans, but the sad part is, your canine is unable to tell you just what is wrong.
Heartburn is cause by a a sphincter muscle located between the esophagus and the stomach. Certain foods and underlying medical conditions can soften or relax the lower esophageal sphincter so that it does not close all the way after food has passed through it to the stomach.
This causes stomach acid to come back through the sphincter leading to burning and irritation to the dog's esophagus.
What are the symptoms?
A canine with heartburn will exhibit signs and symptoms of vomiting, loss of appetite, and decreasing weight. Other symptoms include pain, drooling, and fever.
The risks for acid reflux include dogs who are obese and receiving poor nutrition. Younger dogs are more susceptible to heartburn than older dogs. Table food is not recommended. Food that is specifically formulated for your pet is what should be given.
In addition, portion sizes and how often your dog is fed are dependent upon your pet's age and size. Do not over feed as this will only exacerbate the acid reflux.
Treatment:
Your dog can be treated with over the counter medications such as zantac, pepcid AC, and reglan. Reglan works by increasing peristalsis to keep food traveling through the digestive tract, thus keeping the stomach emptied to prevent heartburn.
In cases where your canine has developed an ulcer, Carafate is the preferred treatment. Carafate will adhere to the ulcer area and act a protective patch.
You will need to consult with your veterinarian before giving these medications to your canine. Your vet can inform you of the correct dosages to administer.
Natural remedies:
A great natural remedy for canine acid indigestion is slippery elm bark and marshmallow herbs. These help to cool and soothe the throat. Small doses of Tumeric help to relieve acid indigestion. Take care not to give too much, as it can lead to liver damage.
Prevention:
Heartburn in dogs is preventable by making a few lifestyle changes. Avoid giving your dog a diet of rich foods, as they are more difficult to digest. Instead, switch to a rice based diet that is more easily digested. Be sure your dog get plenty of exercise to help keep the weight down. Increased weight is a contributor to heartburn.

The recent outbreak of bird flu in Asia has raised concerns about having this disease transmitted even to our own pets. Since the flu virus has the ability of evolving into new strains, it has been generally feared that this pathogen may cause a pandemic by entering the system of canines, too. Can avian influenza be also acquired by domestic canines? If so, how do they get it and what can we do to prevent that from happening?
Bird flu comes from and lives in the guts of birds. This can transform itself into new strains when caught by humans or other animal species. Thus, they gradually develop into a new virus that can survive on their specific hosts. Human beings, however, can survive these viruses because their immune systems still can recognize these pathogens even if they have already evolved into some new form.
Recent reports have indicated that canines were also being infected by avian influenza or bird flu such as tigers, leopards and also dogs. This came as a surprise since dogs had been known to be able to withstand this virus in earlier studies. Some had guessed that this might be a new strain which has passed from humans, then into pigs, and ultimately into the dog. It has not been clearly shown as to how these animals got infected with the virus but other reports have shown that most of them had come into contact with some infected bird or their infected feces.
Some symptoms of it were frequent coughing, which is not dry, and a very thick discharge of nasal mucus. In its advanced stages, symptoms would include a very high fever, heavy breathing, and pneumonia. If you see any of these symptoms, consult your veterinarian immediately. To prevent your dog from acquiring this disease, you may consider keeping him inside your premises or restraining him on a leash.
This will keep him from coming into contact with infected birds and their feces. You may also consider abstaining from bird hunting with your dog as he may catch this from wild birds. There had been only very few instances of dogs acquiring the bird flu virus, and it is indeed very rare. But it will always be a wise decision to take preventive measures early on so as to avoid any chances, even the least possibility, of it getting into our pet dogs.
We're going to bridle this horse for what
we would consider a training session. A training session usually means that we're going to
incorporate some type of a snaffle bit. If we were taking her to the show ring, there
would probably be a different bit, something a little more competitive, shank style. But
we always like to work with our horses in the most simple method here at home.
So I
have here a snaffle bit. It does though incorporate some leverage, which gives me a curb chain
so that I can talk about and describe some of the different parts as we bridle. I'm going
to take this horse's halter off, and let it be free of her so she can't step in it, I'll
place her rings around her neck. I have the advantage that I know this horse is going
to be a quiet and easy horse to bridle.
If I had something more difficult, I might have
to be in the enclosed area of a stall perhaps. But I don't want to keep her tied, because
if she were to pull back with that around her neck, it may frighten her enough to put
me in some kind of harm. My bridle needs to be positioned. I like to do this in this fashion.
There are a number of ways to bridle a horse, this just happens to work best for me and
for the students that I work with.
It's positioned, so everything is straight and ready to apply.
I take my right hand and I stroke her nose gently. It not only makes it a pleasant experience,
but it kind of tells her she needs to stay right here within my arm. Then I can replace
my right hand with my left, which continues to put a little pressure on her, just enough,
and then I inch this up to her mouth. Sometimes horses are reluctant to open their mouth,
and my right thumb is positioned in a spot where I can easily get her to open her mouth
as I bring that bit up.
I have to share, she had her teeth floated yesterday, which she's
usually real easy and drops her nose right in there, I think she still feels and is reminded
of that procedure. Once we have the bit in place, and it fits her well, I've got two
things I need to consider. I have a throat latch strap that's going to go fastened here
behind her jaw, and we're going to put that in place in a loose way so that I can still
get a hand in there. And then my curb chain needs to be lying flat.
So I may have to twist
it to create a flat shape there against her jaw. This is what provides the leverage to
any bit that has any kind of what we call a shank to it. So this bit requiring a little
bit of leverage, I'm going to use a curb chain as I put this in place. So with that I check
my keepers, make sure everything is neat and tidy, take my reins up, and we're ready to
go on and start our session..
