Socializing your dog is a very important aspect toward having a well-adjusted, well-behaved pet. Of course, it’s also usually fun to take your dog for walks, to the park or even for a ride in the car. But even if you don’t particularly enjoy taking your dog places, it’s still important to get him out of the house, off your property and into the outside world.

Being a well-socialized dog means being your pet should be comfortable with many things in life. In order to avoid behavior problems such as excessive barking, separation anxiety, fear, aggression and many more, your dog should be socialized with people, other dogs, bicycles, joggers, noises, trash cans and as many more things as you can possibly think of.

How does socialization relate to the problems mentioned above? For example, dogs who are comfortable with people, dogs and bikes are less likely to bark excessively when normal neighborhood happenings occur near your house. Dogs who are thoroughly socialized are far less likely to have confidence-related problems such as separation anxiety, fear or aggression.

When taking your dog out for socialization, it is important to handle situations correctly. Remember that whenever you pet a dog, you’re praising a dog. Therefore, if your dog is afraid of something he’s seeing, be sure not to pet him while he’s acting afraid. Instead of feeling soothed, your pet is likely to feel you are reinforcing his fear, as if you’re saying, “Good boy be afraid.” Instead, when your dog acts afraid redirect his behavior to a more relaxed activity such as doing an obedience command, giving paw or playing ball. Then, when he acts more relaxed, that’s the appropriate time to pet and praise.

Other ideas for socialization include bringing your dog “out front” when your kids are playing outside, attending a group class, going to dog-related events and more. To learn about upcoming group classes including Puppy Socialization Class, you can visit www.BestPawOnline.com/news-and-events.

By making sure you take your dog out into the world on a regular basis,  you can avoid problems and even help solve existing ones. You’ll probably also have some fun doing things with your pet and family together!

As the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes point their lenses into the vast unknown of space, we get a glimpse of the universe in all its weird and wonderful glory. NASA and other space agencies dutifully catalogue all images beamed back to Earth, but some stand out from the others. Some of the most mysterious are images of nebulae, those interstellar clouds of gas and dust that give birth to the stars.

Steel Lapel Flower

Interest Check: An artisan in my area makes these metal roses. This one happens to be steel, but he also works with brass and copper. They can also be colored (lacquered?)—I’ve seen them in violet-blue, red, and gold.

The guy usually makes full-size steel roses that he sells for about $70 a pop. He also makes 3” flower pins.

The one I’m wearing measures about 1.25”—I think it’s pretty much an ideal size for a lapel ornament. It’s actually a new size for the guy and a special request from me. The flowers are handmade, so each is unique and no two are alike.

I’m not yet sure exactly how much he’d charge for them, especially since we’d still have to figure out how much it costs to safely ship them. I can say there would be no markup from me as the middle man—I’m just trying to see if there’s any interest in him producing them. Ideally, I’d like to step out of the process entirely. I think you could expect to pay around $20.

Anyone interested?

We’ve been making kosher dill pickles like Bubbie would make them.  ”FULL SOURS.” Instead of using Alum powder, which is the chemical compound hydrated potassium aluminum sulfate -we use Grenache Grape Leaves from Mud Creek Ranch.  The tannins in the leaves inhibit enzymes that make pickles soft.  Additionally, we remove the blossom end of the pickles - which are the source of undesirable enzymes.

Alum Powder Free.
