Royal Wedding, by Meg Cabot
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries series, comes the very first adult installment, which follows Princess Mia and her Prince Charming as they plan their fairy tale wedding--but a few poisoned apples could turn this happily-ever-after into a royal nightmare.
For Princess Mia, the past five years since college graduation have been a whirlwind of activity, what with living in New York City, running her new teen community center, being madly in love, and attending royal engagements. And speaking of engagements. Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend Michael managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic (and very private) Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! Of course Mia didn't need to consult her diary to know that her answer was a royal oui.
But now Mia has a scandal of majestic proportions to contend with: Her grandmother's leaked "fake" wedding plans to the press that could cause even normally calm Michael to become a runaway groom. Worse, a scheming politico is trying to force Mia's father from the throne, all because of a royal secret that could leave Genovia without a monarch. Can Mia prove to everyone--especially herself--that she's not only ready to wed, but ready to rule as well? - Goodreads, June 2015

Now the guy who saved Lark's life needs her to repay the favor.

Wrong about the Guy by Claire LaZebnik
Claire LaZebnik's latest twist on a beloved classic asks the age old question: Could the girl who knows everything be wrong about the guy?
As the stepdaughter of a TV star, Ellie Withers has it all: an amazing house in LA, a devoted friend who loved her before she even knew who Ellie's stepfather was, and a burgeoning romance with handsome Aaron Marquand. But Ellie isn't the kind of person who's content with simply having it all—the people in her life have to be equally happy. And, of course, she knows exactly what they need.
When Ellie's plans for her family, her friends, and even her love life don't turn out the way she imagined, she begins to wonder if maybe she could stand to learn a thing or two after all. Most surprising, though, is that the perfect person to teach her is the last person she'd expect.
With her signature witty narration and swoon-worthy romance, Claire LaZebnik (the author of fan favorites Epic Fail, The Trouble with Flirting, and The Last Best Kiss) once again breathes new life into a perennially popular love story: Jane Austen's Emma. - Goodreads, April 2015

This morning (as well as the past handful of mornings) had found us with a blanket of fog covering the ground. I've always been fascinated with fog. I have no idea why. I always thought it was a bit sad that a cloud had fallen out of the sky and landed on Earth.
It's hard to tell from the photos, I guess, unless you see how it looks on a "normal" day, but it does make things beautiful. For once you can go about life seeing only what lies directly ahead.
Now for this next photo, you'll have to just take a quick glance. I promise it's worth your patience.
Sometimes Harley wishes he could snarl, but all that loose skin, you can't tell. I think this was his way of showing his anger that his food bowl was found empty on this foggy day...
Get ready now...remember..quick glance...
Grr! Hahaha!
Happy Tuesday!

That caucuses are so problematic (no one actually knows what they are doing at them) – Texas was full of problems last night. And after my own experience with the mess that they call a Democratic Caucus in Washington State, I think that caucuses have about the same democratic value as a Homecoming Queen Election held in a Middle School Cafeteria.
Oh, and then the Obama campaign attorney hijaking the Clinton Press Call on the problems they identified with the caucusing last night in Texas, really classy move. Listen to the conversation here. It just really shows how obnoxious the Obama camp has gotten in trying to control the media message.

Sexting at Sixteen: Reflections on Legal and Professional Issues

Sexting, or the act of sending, receiving, or retaining sexually explicit text messages, pictures, or video using cellular phones, represents a significant problem with growing legal implications for adolescents. With 75% of 12–17 year-olds in the United States owning cell phones and with teenagers averaging over 3,000 texts per month, the risk for minors engaging in sexting activities is high. Unfortunately, many mental health professionals are not aware of either the extent of sexting among teenagers nor the risks of sexting from a legal perspective. This article provides a commentary and professional reflection on the issues.

Since I mentioned that I made cake pops the other week and I said how easy they were, I have received lots of emails asking what recipe I used. Let me tell you, put simply it was the cheats version.
Since I only decided I was going to take them to the barbecue hours before we were due to leave I had to make it simple. I winged it and hoped for the best! Luckily for me they worked perfectly.
Here's all you need:
Cake mix that comes with icing (I used Betty Crocker Red Velvet)
Large bag of white chocolate melts
Normally you would use lolly pop sticks but all I had on hand were coffee stirrers. Turns out they work a treat.
First up I baked the cake as per the instructions on the box. While it cooled I mixed up the icing.
Once the cake was cooled I crumbled 3/4 of it into the icing mixture. and stirred it together. Then I got my hands dirty.
In case you are wondering what happened to the rest, I ate it. Yep, no point denying it.
I then rolled the combined mix into roughly uniform sized balls, and popped them in the freezer to go nice and hard. I left them there for about 30 mins, while I did the school run.
Here they are nice and firm.
I forgot to take pictures of the next few steps. But here's what you do.
First I melted the choc bits in the microwave in batches (I used 15 sec bursts to make sure it didn't over heat it)
Take you sticks and dip one end into the melted choc. Let the chocolate start to firm a little then push a ball of cake onto it. Now let the chocolate set. This will help to stop the cake from sliding down the stick.
Now you can go ahead and dip the rest of the ball into the chocolate, I used a swirling motion. and then let a little drip off before I pushed them into an upturned cardboard box to hold them still.
While the chocolate was still soft I sprinkled on the sprinkles. As the pops are upright any excess chocolate will just drip right off and leave you with a pretty smooth surface.
The chocolate doesn't take long to set again at all. I had just enough time to whip up a salad and they were done. I popped them in a baking paper lined container to transport and I was done.
Let me tell you they were a big hit with the grown ups and the kids. Win win.
Now you know how truly easy they are you have no excuse to make them yourself. That the excuse I am using anyway!
Happy cake pop baking.

|launch of Von Braun -
Credit: © Mark Wade. 11,208 bytes. 157 x 347 pixels.
|Launch Vehicle: A1. First in series of rockets leading to V-2. Exploded at Kummersdorf in first launch attempt. Considered aerodynamically unstable (stabilising fins were mounted forward) and no further launch attempts were made. Propellants Lox/75% alcohol.
|Launch Vehicle: A2. First flight test rocket in series that led to V-2. Two were built, dubbed Max and Moritz. Both were successfully flown at Kummersdorf to an altitude of 2 km. Propellants Lox/75% alcohol.
|Launch Vehicle: A3.
Subscale test model of A4 (V-2). Wingspan 0.93 m. The rocket's expected longer range required moving the launch site from Kummersdorf to the island of Greifwalder Oie (within site of the permanent new rocket test facilities being built at Peenemuende). All of the test launches were failures. A total redesign, the A5, was used for subscale development of A4 technology. Propellants Lox/75% alcohol.
|Launch Vehicle: A5. Subscale test model of A4 (V-2). Replaced the A3 in this role after its unsuccessful test series. Numerous example successfuly flown from 1938 to 1942, proving aerodynamics and other technology for the A4. Propellants Lox/75% alcohol.
|Launch Vehicle: A6.
The A6 was designed to further extend the range of the A4b winged rocket through use of a ramjet for cruise propulsion. The A6 was proposed to the German Air Ministry as an invulnerable photo reconnaissance aircraft (anticipating the SR-71 aircraft by twenty years). The rocket engine would accelerate the vehicle to supersonic speed and an apogee of 95 km. After re-entering the atmosphere and beginning the supersonic glide phase, the ramjet would be ignited. Burning synthetic petrol or coal slurry, it provided fifteen to twenty minutes of cruise at 2,900 km/hr. This would have allowed the aircraft to return to base, unlike the A4b. One pilot was provided with a pressurized cockpit. The reusable A6 would be launched vertically but land on a conventional airfield using landing gear and a drag parachute.
The German Air Ministry had no identified requriement for such an aircraft and the project was rejected. However unmanned variants were considered after the war in both the United States and Soviet Union. These were developed during the course of the 1950's into the awesome intercontinental Mach 3 cruise missiles: the American Navaho in the United States and the Russian Burya / Buran.
The A6 designation was also applied to a version of the A5 subscale V-2 using alternate propellants. This had the same dimensions as the A7.
|Launch Vehicle: A7. Subscale test model of A9 rocket. 1.612 square meter wing area.
|Launch Vehicle: V-2.
First operational liquid fuel rocket. Developed by Germany in a huge development program as large in proportion to the German gross national product as the Manahattan atom bomb project was in America.. Development program cost $ 2 billion; 5,789 built; unit cost $ 17,877. 3,225 launched; total failure rate unknown, but 169 of 1359 against London unsuccessful. After the war captured German V-2's were launched by the British, Americans, and Russians. Personnel and technology from the V-2 formed the basis for subsequent rocketry developments throughout the world.
|Launch Vehicle: A4b.
Winged version of V-2 missile. A-4b designation used to disguise work on A-9 program. Two flown; manned version planned. The A4b had an empty mass 1350 kg greater than the basic V-2, with wings of 52 degree sweep. Another variation was conceived and under construction at the end of the war - a boosted version. This would use a ring of 10 solid propellant rockets to achieve Mach 6 cruise at 20,000 m altitude, extending the range by a further 400 km.
|Launch Vehicle: A8.
|Launch Vehicle: A9/A10.
The A9/A10 was the world's first practical design for a transatlantic ballistic missile. Design of the two stage missile began in 1940 and first flight would have been in 1946. Work on the A9/A10 was prohibited after 1943 when all efforts were to be spent on perfection and production of the A4 as a weapon-in-being. Von Braun managed to continue some development and flight tests of the A9 under the cover name of A4b (i.e. a modification of the A4, and therefore a production-related project). In late 1944 work on the A9/A10 resumed under the code name Projekt Amerika, but no significant hardware development was possible after the last test of the A4b in January 1945.
|Launch Vehicle: A9/A10/A11. The A11 was planned at Peenemuende to use the A9/A10 transoceanic missile atop the tubby A11 stage to form the basis for launching the first earth satellite - or as an ICBM.... Payload/orbit performance estimated.
|Launch Vehicle: Von Braun.
Typical of studies done in 1940's/early 1950's by Von Braun's team for a space shuttle to launch crews and payloads to earth orbit for space station assembly, lunar and Mars expedition spacecraft assembly. The lower two stages became less tubby in each succeeding iteration.

Individuals frequently get to a location where they just cannot pay their expenses, particularly in today's economy which is not especially sympathetic towards the inadequate or even the middle class. When you get to the location where you can not pay your costs and have cash left over for food and other requirements, there are some tough ideas that have actually to be dealt with. The alternatives are credit counseling and debt management services, or bankruptcy.
There are many credit counseling/debt management services readily available, both in many regional neighborhoods and over the Web.

The plan leaves you adequate cash to live and stops collection treatments. Over a time period, all your expenses are paid completely and you basically have a brand-new beginning, supplied you do not get yourself back into added financial obligation in the meantime.

The bottom line is, you do not have to continue suffering; there are means to get out of the financial obligation circumstance and start once more. Low Cost Bankruptcy Information

Hope infrastructure: enacting expectations in bloggers' material practices
I attended my first EASA conference, it was great! many friend and new interesting people I met. This is the abstract of my presentation at the Digital Anthropology workshop: Based on 18 months of fieldwork focused on the study of intensive bloggers in Spain this paper discusses how expectations are enacted in the everyday material practices of a group of individuals that expect to transform society (mass media, science and politics) through their blogging practice. Drawing on the concept of inscription (Latour, 1999) I describe how blogs and bloggers interactions are materially inscribed (in the form of statistics of visitors, for instance) in a massive way by blog technological infrastructures. I highlight how present facts are materialized in graphics of visitors and lists of incoming links and expectations of the future are materially enacted when exceptional facts take place (an unusual wave of visitors, v.g.). I then argue that the inscription of the present is the condition of possibility for the performance of future expectations through an infrastructure that take part in the everyday enacting of hope among bloggers.

``Unbelievable'' describes the issuing of a permit in Middletown that authorized a car dealer to start construction on a showroom building four times the size of the one approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mayor Thomas J. Serra should be sure to get clear answers from city building officials in an investigation he initiated last Thursday. The failure to adhere to the terms of the special exception approved by the planners raises serious questions about the care with which permits are issued. A flawed building permit allowed Michael Augeri to build a 16,000-square-foot building at 750 Newfield St. The commission had approved a building one- fourth that size and at 720 Newfield St., an adjoining lot. The permit also says the estimated cost of the larger building was an absurdly low $27,000.

Create Buzz for Your Business in 5 Simple Steps
Some business owners feel challenged when it comes to public relations. They know media coverage will help create a buzz for their business, but may not have the manpower or expertise to get the story out. Don't fret! You can learn how to sell your story to the press like these business owners. We've also included five tips to help get your business in the media spotlight.
The Media Loves a Great Story
A bookstore is about to close, putting long-time employees out of work. Two of them buy the business, start an online crowdfunding campaign and use the money they raise to turn it into a shop that caters exclusively to comic and gaming fans.
A tiny home brewery expands into the micro-brewing marketplace and moves into new purpose-built facilities.
A store promotes the fact that it will now sell only local, handmade goods.
And, a local restaurant hires a celebrity chef who moved home to retire but just couldn't stay out of the kitchen.
What do these businesses have in common? They all knew that the right mention in the right media at the right time would create a buzz for their business and have a big impact on their success.
Whether you're opening a new business, expanding an existing one, introducing a new product line or service or just have a unique story that will pique public interest, you too can get free publicity in local newspapers, online and on radio and television newscasts. How? Start with these five simple steps:
- Ask yourself: "What's my story?"
What sets you and your business apart from others? Is there something different or unusual about what you sell or the service you offer? Do you have an interesting employee? Is there something happening in your line of business that has pushed sales through the roof?
In other words, determine what might make your business newsworthy and then write it down in one or two simple sentences. Try it out on friends or customers to see if it piques their curiosity. If it does, chances are it will be of interest to a broader audience.
- Write a pitch or press release.
In as few words as possible, sell your story to a journalist, editor or producer. For example, using the latest unemployment statistics as a hook, one medium-size manufacturer wrote: "Local company desperate for help even as unemployment rises." Now that you have their attention, provide a few details. What kinds of jobs can't you fill? What problems is that causing your company? Let them know who they can talk to and/or when they can visit your business.
Always follow-up if you don't hear from anyone right away. And, don't forget to send your pitch to local bloggers as well as traditional media.
- Offer an exclusive.
Depending on the strength of your story, you might want to offer it solely to the newspaper, broadcast station or blog with the largest audience. Journalists love getting a scoop and tend to feel more invested in a story when it's theirs and theirs alone. There is a downside however, as you risk alienating other media in the same market. Thankfully, journalists have short memories…especially when they face a fast-approaching deadline!
- Become the local expert.
You may not have a specific story to pitch, but you can put your knowledge to good use. A golf pro can promote his course by offering to provide free weekly video tips to be aired on local TV sportscasts throughout the summer. An auto mechanic can explain how to avoid large repair bills. A veterinarian can give advice on how to care for pets.
Every time you are quoted in a newspaper, blog or interviewed on radio or TV, you build a relationship of trust with potential customers. If you're running a borderless online business and want to reach a wider audience, consider joining ProfNet, Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and/or a similar services where journalists go to seek sources for their stories.
- Sponsor an event or activity.
There's nothing more powerful than to be seen as a "good neighbour." Sponsoring a Little League team or 10K run for charity will get your business name out there and build goodwill in your community.
For the owners of small and medium-size businesses, publicity is more valuable than advertising, and not only because it's free.
A news story about your business has a longer shelf life and often reaches a larger audience. It also has more credibility with consumers and clients – when they see you have been featured in the media, they start to see you as a leader in your field.
The best part is that with the trend toward 24/7 news coverage, the need for content has never been greater. Follow the steps above and your business could soon find itself in the media spotlight.

Gratitude keeps caregiver stress from overwhelming you
Caregiver stress is an inevitable part of the job when you're caring for an older adult. But there are ways to keep it from overwhelming you. Two effective methods are to practice gratitude and to keep a journal.
We found a way to combine these two stress management techniques into one simple activity – the UC Berkeley Thnx4 21 day gratitude journal challenge. (Everyone loves getting 2 for 1, right?)
Positive effects of gratitude and journaling
Gratitude reduces caregiver stress because it helps you notice the positives in life, even in the middle of tough times. Practicing gratitude can lower stress, boost mood, protect from depression, improve sleep, boost immune system, and more.
Journaling is another powerful way to reduce caregiver stress. Getting thoughts and feelings onto paper and out of your head has been shown to improve health as well as help with problem-solving and decision-making.
UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center created the Thnx4 project to help people lead healthier, happier lives. It's based on 20 years of research showing that people who regularly feel grateful see positive results, including:
- Better health – for example: reduced risk of heart disease
- Better sleep
- Less anxiety
- More joy and optimism
The Thnx4 public journal lets you see the grateful moments that other people have chosen to share. They might inspire you to notice even more positive things in your life.
How the Thnx4 21 day gratitude challenge works
Thnx4 is an online gratitude journal where you record what you're grateful for. Once you register, the 21 day gratitude challenge starts. You'll be asked to take a pre-challenge survey to measure your social and emotional well-being.
Then, you'll get an email every other day for 3 weeks that invites you to record and share what you felt grateful for recently. At the end of the challenge, you'll take a final survey to see how your levels of gratitude and well-being have changed over the three weeks.
When the 3 week challenge is over, you can choose if you'd like to keep getting email reminders to use Thnx4 – daily, weekly, monthly, or never.
Your privacy is protected
All your survey and other responses are kept completely confidential. You also control whether your journal entries are kept private or made public.
Bottom line
The 21 day gratitude challenge is a simple way to get started practicing gratitude and keeping a journal. Best of all, it's free! Why not give it a try and see if you feel better at the end of 3 weeks?
Next Step Try the free 21 day gratitude challenge from Thnx4

Come and learn about an important aspect of our democracy
We continue to invite the elected officials in our county to our monthly meetings and one of the newly elected trustees from Clinton Twp., Michael Keys, attended our last meeting. We have also heard from the Clinton Twp. Clerk, Kim Meltzer, who has offered to speak to our group about newly purchased voting machines, most likely during our May meeting.
Our unit is shaping up rather nicely and a leadership team has emerged:
Kathy P - Director, Voter Services
Nance H - Director, Vote411
Terri S- Secretary
Maria R & Kathy P - Budget Committee
Jackie M & Carol K - Communications Committee
Nancy D - Membership Chair
Katherine L - P.R. Director
Becky H - Fundraising
Trish H - Observer Corps
Our communications team, Carol and Jackie, have developed an electronic survey for MCVS members. Its purpose is to identify skills, interests and talents and develop goals for our unit. It is easy to use and will be a great tool for us as we move forward.
We are gearing up for VOTE411! Our goal is to develop an action plan for the primary elections and get started entering data in April or May. Also, on our radar are candidate forums for the primaries.
Our group is also interested in redistricting education and will look for opportunities to provide this education to the community.
We have made great strides in meeting with leaders in the community and we are very proud of the work we have accomplished so far. Our team may be small compared to other units, but, we have very dedicated members who follow through on their promises and accept responsibility for their projects.
We also appreciate the guidance provided by Tom Wells and the Grosse Pointe League. Tom attends every one of our meetings and his support has given us a boost of confidence, especially in the early months when only three or four people might attend a meeting!
MCVS will begin the New Year supporting the Interfaith Center for Racial Justice by attending its 30th Annual Martin Luther King Dinner on January 16, 2017 in Macomb Twp., MI. We'll run an ad in the program's paper (See it here) congratulating the ICRJ on its commitment to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to promote the League of Women Voters of Grosse Pointe and MCVS.
We are happy to report MCVS has found a home with the Mt. Clemens Public Library at 150 Cass Ave, Mt. Clemens and have monthly meetings scheduled there throughout 2017. Our unit voted to change its regular meeting date from the first Monday to the fourth Thursday of the month.
There is much work to be done with voter education in Macomb County and MCVS is up to the challenge! Look out 2017! Here we come!

Hotspur Way takes lads' breath away
Our players have spoken in glowing terms about the club's new Training Centre - Hotspur Way in Enfield.
The lads trained for the first time at the fantastic new facility on Wednesday afternoon.
Michael Dawson, now the club's longest-serving player and Club Captain, summed it up in one word - 'special'.
Aaron Lennon, another player who has been with us for over seven years, said it was 'incredible' while Emmanuel Adebayor insisted it had to be 'one of the best training grounds in Europe'.
"The lads are coming here excited," said Michael, who joined us in January, 2005. "It's fresh, everything's new. When you look at the facilities, there aren't that many better.
"Everything from the changing room to the restaurant is very special, and an awful lot of work has gone into it by a lot of people. The lads are buzzing to be here and to have the opportunity to experience the quality that's here."
Aaron said: "It really is an incredible place. I've trained at the training grounds of most of the big clubs while with England and none of them come close to this. I'm walking around here and I can't believe that this is our workplace, our training facility. It's fantastic that the club has made this happen.
"I enjoyed every minute at Spurs Lodge but the facilities here just are on a different level. This training centre is not only going to improve us as a team but it will benefit players at every level at the club and everyone who works here.
"The lads can do so much more here in terms of gym work, conditioning and rehab as well and the pitches are perfect for playing football on. I can't pick a fault with anything here."
'Ade' commented: "I've had the chance to play at Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester City and for me, this is one of the best training grounds in Europe, no doubt about that.
"The most important thing is the place you work. Everything is here for us, from the pitches to recovery, the gym is incredible, the restaurant, everything is in place."
Jake Livermore returned from England duty to Hotspur Way on Wednesday.
"It's perfect for what we want to achieve as a club," he said. "It's got everything we could possibly want.
"The pitches are fantastic, all the equipment, the gym facilities, the pool for recovery and also off the pitch, there are areas for us to relax. There really are no faults here."
Michael was particularly impressed with the gym - a place he was unfortunately well acquainted with at Spurs Lodge in the last two seasons as he recovered from long-term injuries.
"The gym looks out to the training pitches – where you aim to be when you are injured," he said.
"It gives you a goal, makes you hungry to be back out there, where you want to be. When you can see it, that's what you are working towards. It's somewhere I don't want to spend much time, out here on the training pitch is where I want to be, enjoying it and working hard."
That's exactly what he intends to do as he fights for a place in team.
"I wanted to stay and fight for my place, as simple as that," he added. "Everyone knows it, the manager knows it, I've been at Tottenham for seven-and-a-half years, it's where I love playing my football and I want to be back playing."

==> Your dog fearful or aggressive at the vet?
This topic has much wider implications than it seems
Stress-free vet visits
"You probably already know that stress is a killer. Just about every major disease has stress as one of its contributing factors". * From a to v - allergies to von Willebrand's disease (I couldn't think of something common to German Shepherd Dogs that starts with z, sorry).
* This bit is a direct quote from Dr. Frank Shallenberger's teaser report "The World's Most Effective Way to Melt Away Stress" on his Second Opinion Newsletter website. Shallenberger is a mainstream-critical people doctor (MD, not DVM).
Stress is more than a killer: Stress is a terrorist, a mass killer both in people and in dogs in the western hemisphere (with western hemisphere defined as in the prior Periodical How to find the right veterinarian). More dogs and more people die from stress-related defects and disorders than from injuries and diseases combined!
Even though stress doesn't cause the ailment, it always makes it worse. Because, stress impairs all 12 body systems:
In fact, body systems is a topic so helpful to understand in terms of dog health, let's make it the topic of the next MYGERMANSHEPHERD PERIODICAL.
All the health implications aside, the multitude of behavior implications of stress you (hopefully) understood already in our 11th Periodical The PRIME SECRET about Dogs (or, as I called it at the time: The Number 1 Secret about Dogs).
Health and Behavior problems with their dog - for dog owners there's almost nothing else really. This is why stress indeed is the Number 1 thing to avoid if you want to have a happy and long life with your dog.
The less you observe this advice as regards accepted Pack leadership, the more time and money you will be spending at pricey dog behavior consultants and at the veterinarian!
And the more you visit the vet, the more important this Periodical is for you. No, this last sentence is not actually true: There is a point, when you visit the vet very, very often, where the vet visits will be routine for your dog, just like getting dinner. At that point you wouldn't need this Periodical, as your dog will either be totally calm or totally thrilled to see the vet!
That is a remote possibility though. Ask any dog body language educated(!) veterinarian technician: Most dogs show clear signs of fear or of aggression at the vet (with fear aggression being common). Few dogs are calm and relaxed.
That's no surprise really. Imagine just for a minute you are a dog: So one day, your owner suddenly takes you to a place where - you smell that(!) - there have been hundreds of dogs before. And you smell that all those dogs felt fear or aggression while they were at that very place where you are now with your owner. - Damn it, you don't need to be a German Shepherd to put two and two together: You immediately understand that where your owner brought you, that must be a terrible place!
End of "imagine" (even if you took less than a minute)
Finally, don't overlook the side effects of stressed vet visits:
- Where the vet doesn't feel safe with your fearful or aggressive dog, the vet will either give a general anesthetic or have the vet technicians restrain your dog before the examination
- The first (anesthetics) is an avoidable intoxication of your dog, with its possible health implications
- The second (restraining) leaves you to deal with a psychologically traumatized dog, with its likely behavior implications
- The vet office or clinic is not a good place to socialize a dog, a bad experience at the vet can trigger or perpetuate dog-dog aggression
- A first stressed vet visit usually leads to the second being even worse
Once you understand all the above, you will better appreciate how important it is that we make vet visits as stress-free as possible.
Therefore in the remainder of this MYGERMANSHEPHERD PERIODICAL in very short chapters:
- The key requirement
- Early start
- DIY vet visits
- Regularity
- Preparation on the day
- How we behave at the vet office
- What we do after the vet visit
- How to avoid that you get stressed about vet visits
The key requirement
The key requirement for us as dog owner is that we must be the dog's accepted Pack leader, so that the dog knows that (s)he can trust our decisions and actions. This of course presupposes that we can be trusted! Thus we won't raise unfunded expectations (eg "Oh sweetie, today you're going to have a wonderful time" when in fact the dog then learns (s)he's being restrained while being hurt!), and we won't use the vet visit for obedience training (for example "be quiet!" when the dog whines or barks because (s)he feels insecure despite our presence!).
Think how counterproductive such behavior is! Don't assume "the dog can't understand this situation anyway", instead fully take in what this dog expert says:
Find out more: Click to save vet cost, training cost, and your nerves!
In other words, the key is not to have a Pack conflict as experienced by the dog add to the stress at the vet. Become the accepted Pack leader before you visit the vet.
Early start
If you get/got a puppy, don't waste time. Make use of your chance to start early! On the second day you have your pup, immediately begin to prepare your dog for stress-free vet visits, as per these chapters here.
Find out more: Click to save vet cost, training cost, and your nerves!
What this expert only indicates in this teaser audio snippet is scientific proof and explained in the Interview and Review. So, avoid harming your pup through delaying socialization - here with a veterinarian. Start on the second day you have your pup.
DIY vet visits
What I mean with this is: Although you are not the vet, perform a theater play of being the vet. Do a full body check of your dog, similar to what the vet will do on the day of the appointment. Do make your DIY vet visits a special occasion, let your dog feel that the full body examination is something special. Sort of a treat at a certain point in time, on a certain day. Be totally calm before, during, and after this exam treat.
This is what a good vet will check during the physical examination (and a good vet will do more than the physical exam):
For this exam the vet will use a few instruments, most of which a normal dog owner household doesn't have and doesn't need. With one exception: A stethoscope is very helpful (particularly when we have a puppy), and even though initially you will not know which sounds are abnormal, with practice and comparisons over time a stethoscope proves to be a great diagnostic DIY tool (that costs next to nothing).
Next, this is what we can (and should) do as DIY dog examination:
So, we will inspect the dog's body counter-clockwise, starting with coat inspection near the hip, moving via head, chest, and abdomen, and ending at the tail (for hygienic reasons the tail always is the last inspection). And, not to miss any body part, we will systematically move once around the body, as shown in the image (between step 6 and 7, we ask the dog to roll over):
- Checking coat and skin of the upper body (from the hip towards the head) for parasites, rashes, lesions, hair loss, lumps and bumps
- Checking ears for mites, infection, discharge, and smell
- Checking eyes for dehydration, infection, clarity, and discharge
- Checking nose for discharge, rashes, and lesions, and checking mouth: dehydration, teeth, gums, pierced skin, and bad breath
- Checking chest for parasites, lesions, hair loss, lumps and bumps
- Checking shoulders down to legs and paws: parasites, rashes, cuts and lesions, lumps and bumps, calluses, toenails, interdigital space, and paw pads
- Checking abdomen for parasites, bruises, lesions, lumps and bumps, and hair loss
- Checking tail (anus and under the tail) for parasites, rashes, and discharge.
If you are the dog's accepted Pack leader, your dog will let you gently touch all body parts. You can't anticipate which part may hurt, hence always touch gently like the vet would.
In fact, this DIY dog examination is meant to replicate the experience your dog will make during the few minutes of the physical exam itself - while for all the other experiences at the vet (smells, stressed dogs and stressed people) you cannot much prepare your dog. But staying calm during the exam will avoid stress, anesthetics, and restraining! And, it may even make your dog curious for the next vet visit, yes.
Some (but not all) veterinarians will allow you to be with your dog (depending on what needs to be done, and depending on what experience the vet had with prior dog owners!). In this case, gently place one hand on the dog's shoulder and the other hand gently against the side of the muzzle. If you are the dog's accepted Pack leader (are you?), this will calm your dog and prevent that the dog snaps at the vet or technician, say upon pinprick or when they touch a painful body part.
Note that with a really good vet and a well-prepared GSD, your presence will even be sufficient during dental treatment (where all ordinary vets will sedate the dog). - But then, if you look well after your dog, dental treatment won't be needed anyway (except in case of mouth injury).
Preparing the dog with the DIY dog examination is the key here to avoid stress during the veterinary examination, as much as possible. Make sure you record all your dog's details in our unique Canine Vital Records sheet that you received 40 Periodicals ago. Take the Canine Vital Records with you to the vet:
- so that you can answer questions of the vet/technician
- and so that you can add any new information you gather at the vet to your records to keep all dog information in one place.
If you combine your DIY dog exam with a few minutes of dog massage, then there is no doubt that your dog will indeed experience the entire session as a treat! *
* Two top books on dog massage (each with different strengths) are the Complete Dog Massage Manual and the Canine Massage Reference Manual. However, if you prefer to watch and hear professional dog massage sessions then the video course Dog Massage Secrets may suit you more.
Finally, don't forget that all your (more frequent!) dog care sessions also contribute a LOT to making your dog calm during vet visits: Ear care, Eye care, Mouth care, Paw care, and (to a lesser degree) even Grooming. That is, if you perform them in a calm way in a relaxing, quiet environment.
You probably guessed it: Regularity of your DIY dog exam - as well as regular vet visits (every 6 to 12 months MAX!) - is absolutely necessary in order to prepare your dog for stress-free vet visits.
A good rule of thumb is: Give your dog the treat of a DIY dog exam once a week - which is great for both dog vet preparation and diagnostic purposes! With practice (after the first two or three times), the entire DIY dog exam as shown above takes less than 5 minutes. Even if you diagnose problems, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes - during which you decide whether the dog needs to see the vet or not.*
* For this decision, books like the Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook are a great tool if you find medical texts as easy as I do? If not, you may prefer more illustrated layman books like the Ultimate Guide to Dog Health.
Initially, the plan was that I publish my own Dog Health Compendium (as well as Dog Care Compendium and Dog Training Compendium), however I've put these plans on hold until such effort may be a bit worthwile (lack of marketing effort and skill and reviews results in minimal book sales that cannot support the site). 😕
Preparation on the day
Next, what can we do on the day of the vet visit, in order to prepare our dog to stay calm during the upcoming experience?
- As with ourselves, dogs too need sufficient sleep to be calm - so let your GSD get enough sleep in the night before the vet visit
- Likewise, dogs need sufficient drinking water to be calm!
- From SSCD to Collar Freeze and beyond, look at all the Sedatives under Energy Tools in the Dog Training Toolkit - there exist so many more tools how to make your dog feel calm and relaxed!
- Whether or not you perform our unique Feeding Routine every day, make sure you perform the Feeding Routine during the meal before the vet visit (and the day before as well) - this will help your dog enormously to copy your relaxed behavior during the vet visit!
- If you have time before the vet visit, 10 - 15 min dog massage will have a lasting calming effect too (see above)
- Avoid food treats before the vet visit - and generally - food treats are a Stimulant, not a Sedative
How we behave at the vet office
Another important consideration is that we mentally prepare ourselves how we want to behave at the vet office - because that makes it much more likely that we then behave that way, instead of getting caught up in predictable stress factors at the vet!
Predictable stress factors - and how to avoid them:
- On the vet's car park, many dogs will have relieved in the past (oh!), and your dog will smell that and will want to sniff! Do NOT let your dog sniff there (very high infection risk!), but to avoid stress try to park rather nearby, let your dog sniff and relieve there, and when you then walk to the vet office keep your dog on a really short leash (obviously, you must have done your Leash Training already!?)
- If your dog is not calm before you enter the vet's premises, perform some SSCD right there until your dog is calm (since the dog is on a short leash, there's no chance to sniff anywhere)
- In the waiting area of the vet office, always keep your dog on the short leash (without pulling or such stress!)
- If your dog is aroused in the waiting room, you can give your dog a gentle neck massage right there
- If another dog's barking, whining or whatever makes your dog stressed, perform the Collar Freeze right there until your dog calms down
- Make sure your dog gets enough drinking water while you are waiting at the vet, but to avoid cross-contamination I would always take our own featherlight fabric dog bowl with me, place it on my lap, pour some water inside from a bottle I take with me, and let the dog drink from that - rather than from some heavily used bowl standing on the floor 😕
- Do NOT needlessly ask your dog to "SIT!" - makes no sense, and all the less at the vet!
- If you have to wait and your dog wants to sit or lie down, place an old washable blanket on the floor next to you
- If you have a small GSD puppy, you may well want to keep the pup on your lap (but not after having been on the floor )
- I use these antibacterial paw wipes - and not only for the paws
All of this should happen in a calm way, being your routine behavior (thanks to mental preparation now). Note that this list is good to go to the average vet office - if you think that your vet's office is always hygienic then you may not need to follow each of the above points.
For any and all of this, you should now see why being your dog's accepted Pack leader really is the key requirement, as shown at the beginning. If your dog feels unsure about your Pack position, or if your dog notices that you feel insecure (or stressed), then your dog will likely be stressed at the vet, regardless how much preparation as per above you may have done.
What we do after the vet visit
A few notes on post vet care (sorry but Eric from the post altering care video wasn't available for a post vet care video).
- Checking the Canine Vital Records sheet: Any data to add, to delete, or to correct?
- What was the vet's diagnosis? If applicable, what was the suggested treatment? Did the vet prescribe any lab medicaments? For what? Do we know enough to decide if we really want to buy them and use them on our dog? If not, we will do some research, right?!
- What else did the vet have for us? Did he successfully sell us some kibble bags or gadgets or tick collar or dog health insurance, or whatever? Are we happy with that?
- What dog care instructions did the vet give us? A lot of rest, or change in diet, or change in exercise regime, or does the dog need to wear or get something special for a while?
- Did the vet recommend some vaccination booster? Did he discuss a prior titer at all?
- Do we feel comfortable with this vet? Do we want to see this vet again?
- How does our dog seem to feel about this vet? Was our dog treated well? Does (s)he look happy?
So, after the vet visit it's more about thinking than doing much.
What about a food treat?
Note that this is the last sub-topic in this section. While for many dog owners, handing out food treats before, during, and after a vet visit seems to be their first thought.
You will (hopefully) remember that I always mentioned why we don't use food treats in dog training - and that MYGERMANSHEPHERD.ORG actually appears to be the only such place (note that even Doggy Dan Abdelnoor uses food treats - thankfully rarely though). And that we sometimes (rarely) give food treats for other reasons (or indeed, no reason at all): Birthday, Christmas and similar festivities, anything to celebrate (except living - which we should always appreciate if not celebrate, right?), or to mark a special event, or because I've got something healthy in the hand that would be good for the dog too.
One such special event is the day of the vet visit, so to say "happy that everything is alright with the dog" (though, if you see the vet every week, it may not be a special event for you ). So, AFTER the vet visit, a tasty morsel for the dog is on the agenda (but not on the vet premises, and obviously not if the dog may not eat after the veterinary treatment).
Note that the food treat is given regardless of the dog's behavior at the vet - so really not training/behavior related at all! Instead, to mark the special event, rather than some dog behavior.
Welcome side effect: This will certainly help the dog to keep the day of the vet visit in good memory, such that the dog is even more likely to look forward to the next.
How to avoid that you get stressed about vet visits
This is a completely different topic as regards stress-free vet visits. But you may have thought of this when you read the headline earlier(?), so I will briefly address this aspect as well.
Your worry might have been: "How can I avoid that I myself get stressed about a vet visit, how do I know whether I should take my dog to the vet or not??"
Well, had you booked the Dog Expert Interview Series, you wouldn't get stressed about that. It literally saves years of learning and problems and worries! - I know because I regret that I didn't know all that earlier.
When to go to the vet
If this is your worry, you basically need help to decide:
- Will my dog's health issue self-heal if I give it time?
- Do I have time if it does not self-heal?
- If I waste time, do I risk my dog's healing??
Obviously, the more you hear and read about dog health and dog care and dog training, the quicker and better your decision when you need it. If detailed sophisticated Interviews and Interview Reviews(!) are not your thing, you may want to refer to the helpful illustrations in the Ultimate Guide to Dog Health, or to the precise medical descriptions in the Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook.
I have both of them (and have had them long before I started the Interviews and Reviews), and yet I must say:
The conversations with Top Vets opened my mind to things the books and even my studies didn't.
Isn't it often that we need two or three attempts in life - in different forms, at different times, with different people - before it "clicks"? For me it's certainly like that.
Checklist * (see note at the bottom)
- Why are stress-free vet visits so important?
- Most dogs are stressed at the vet (and many of these dogs show fear aggression)
- Stress is the No. 1 killer both in people and in dogs in the western hemisphere!
- Stress impairs all 12 body systems
- All health implications aside, stress typically also has very undesirable behavior implications
- A stressed dog is costly: dog behavior consultants and frequent vet visits cost a LOT!
- We must help to avoid anesthetics and restraining of our dog wherever possible
- For all these reasons, stress is the Number 1 thing to avoid!
- The key requirement is that we must be the dog's accepted Pack leader!
- Regardless of the dog's age, start immediately to prepare your dog for stress-free vet visits
- Similar to the veterinary physical examination, we will perform DIY dog exams
- Regular DIY dog examinations help with both proper dog care and preparing our dog to be calm at the vet
- To help you identify areas of concern during your DIY dog exams, the Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, or easier (more illustrated) the Ultimate Guide to Dog Health may serve you well
- To have your dog experience the DIY dog exam as a treat(!), you can add a dog massage session at the end - the Complete Dog Massage Manual is a great start to learning about dog massage
- Make sure you have your Canine Vital Records sheet complete and at hand when visiting the vet
- Preparation on the day of the vet visit: see the list above
- How we behave at the vet office: see the list above (a box of the antibacterial paw wipes that I mention in the list above I always have in the car, and then simply take it inside the vet office)
- What we do after the vet visit: see the list above
- If you want to give a food treat, why not give the food treat to mark the special event, rather than some dog behavior? Ie I give the food treat AFTER the vet visit, regardless of the dog's behavior at the vet!

US offers $5M for info on escaped Mexico drug kingpin
Tip line to be established
US offers $5M for info on escaped Mexico drug kingpin
Tip line to be established
The U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of escaped Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
The acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Chuck Rosenberg, also said a tip line for information about Guzman is being established.
Guzman escaped from one of Mexico's most secure prisons last month via a sophisticated mile-long tunnel that opened up in his cell's shower.
Mexican authorities have announced a $3.8 million reward for the drug kingpin, who is believed to have a net worth of about $1 billion.
Guzman was arrested in February 2014 in a seaside resort town after about 13 years on the run since his last prison break in 2001.

Carefully dip your balls in and cover completely. Place on waxed paper to dry.
You could decorate them, but I got lazy.
Those are cute :) But that is pretty much what I figured you would say about them, tasty but a bit more labour intensive than they are worth.ReplyDelete
You have to try them with chocolate cake...mmmm ;)ReplyDelete
Yum! I literally just got finished making these like 5 minutes ago. They are soooooo good!ReplyDelete
Hmmm that seems pretty easy. They look yummy!ReplyDelete
This would be good for me.... my cakes always come out dry. The Hubby makes all the cake in our house.ReplyDelete
Love your pink here! They are difficult for me- I always over melt the chocolate. I need more practice at them. But people seem to love them!ReplyDelete
Never thought of making cake balls but I might have to try them someday! They look yummy!ReplyDelete
