Any
time of the year Heat Stroke can quickly kill a dog
NEVER
leave them in cars unattended
DON'T
leave them outside when it's hot and
DON'T
leave spilled antifreeze when doing automobile maintenance.
Just
a teaspoon can kill a dog. Use the new stuff that tastes bad if
you can find it !!!!!!
Don't
forget it's also Bee and Wasp time most of the year and a sting can literally kill
a Boston Terrier. Be sure to have Benadryl on hand in case you
need it!
Here's
some more on Heatstroke in dogs
| It
can KILL or VERY SERIOUSLY HARM THEM PERMANENTLY! |

Spring and Summer
Hot Weather and Pets
Summer Tips:
It's
That time of the year when the air is dry and your dog may be miserable
For Happy
eyes for dogs:
Use 1 or 2
drops of Equate (or an equivalent brand) gentle
lubricant eye drops in each eye of an older dog once or twice each day.
Check the back panel of any brand for "Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
0.3%" That's the correct lubricant. You
can also check Fannie Mae's website for more potential options at Fannie

IT'S ALWAYS YELLOW JACKET, WASP and BEE TIME!!!
When yellow jackets and other nasty bugs become particularly mean and many Bostonians (as well as Boxers and other short snouted dogs) are often very badly affected by a sting. If your pooche shows
bad facial swelling, especially around his or her muzzle, redness and/or appears to be scratching at or biting at it's feet,
you must move very quickly or the results could be very, very bad.
Don't take ANY chances!
Our advice (unless you're sure you know what you're doing) is to get the dog to the vet
ASAP!! You can also ask your vet now about keeping some Benadryl (or the less expensive generic version Diphenhydramine HCl in 25 mg caps) handy in the case of an emergency.
If we see any indication of a yellow jacket sting, e.g., rapidly
swelling muzzle and face, licking feet, etc, we give the dog ONE caplet in a piece of cheese immediately and start watching it carefully, planning a trip to the vet if there's no quick improvement, but you need to be talking to your own vet
now.

Crate
Training 101
Here
is some very simple but extremely important information for
crate training your Boston from Donna Farmer of Birmingham
Boston Terrier Rescue
|
|
The
dog needs to have good experiences with the crate to start with - feed him there, keep his toys there, give him treats in there, and interact with him while in the crate. Then address the loading into crate problem.
Some folks have found with Benadryl to expedite the procedure, let him go into the crate for something he wants (treat/ toy/ food) and praise him, stand near.
Then do it again, but closer, maybe touching him as a brush up with the leg. Then do it some more.
Next, do it with a leash/collar on. Then try to do it by hand, gently. Keep doing this with
a med like Benadryl (your vet can tell you how much and how
often) so he's
less likely to have the energy and general snottiness to snap. Then
start doing it slowly do it without the Benadryl. Gradual
desensitization is the key.
The steps can vary as needed, but it is about starting
slowly, safely and slowly introducing the dog's natural fears
back into the training while he's distracted by the
Benadryl so that the repeated experiences are not negative and
not frightening.
Eventually, he will recall the recent and good experiences with being put in a crate.
It's
not an overnight solution, but this is the form of behaviour modification that works best for dogs! The
meds aren't always necessary, but they usually make it easier for everyone, especially the pooch. If at any point, the dog starts back to old behaviour, go back to the last working step and do it over and over again and then move
forward again, maybe even finding another stair step of progression in between them!
It takes thought,
work and much patience, but it is the thing that usually always
works! Ask your Rescue for other hints and read as much as
you can. |

If
You Need to Surrender Your Dog
If you have a Boston Terrier for whom you can no longer care,
contact us at 865.983.3272 or email us at info@bostonterriertn.org
instead of taking your dog to a shelter or call the Boston Terrier rescue
nearest you.
Once at a
shelter an "owner surrender" dog is typically euthanized
(killed) within
three days and in some cases, within the same hour depending on overcrowding.
Waiting 'till the last minute to call a
rescue is NOT a good idea for the dog.
You
must have the dog
up to date on shots and vet records available to us. We are all
volunteers and we survive on donations, volunteers and charity. Many
times people call, ask for help and then disappear. It wastes valuable
time and if you call, it's YOUR
responsibility stay keep in communication if you want our help.
If you
really want help your dog, you're going to have to communicate and do it promptly
with all the materials we ask you to send or we simply won't be able to help

More than
1/3 of the nearly 8 million
dogs annually euthanized in the United States are dumped there
by their "protectors," the people they trusted, their owners and
families. The chances of
them being
adopted are slim.
A dog dies
every eight seconds in a shelter somewhere, scared and waiting desperately
to be saved by
somebody, anybody. Most of them don't even have names anymore.
With these staggering
numbers, every time a puppy or kitten is purchased at a
pet store, or from a back yard breeder or at a flea market, an older dog or cat
or a litter of pups or kittens somewhere gets a death sentence. It's not just inhumane, it's
shameful to profit from killing.

someone to
come for them. It doesn't seem too much to ask.

For
Adoption of those VERY SPECIAL Boston Terriers: DO
NOT believe what they tell you in pet stores about small dogs and small
children!!! Bostons
generally do NOT do well with young children. We'll be glad to
discuss this with you but you need to know this is a big concern upfront
for us. |

Directly to Our Beautiful Kids Please
keep in mind, we have foster parents and adoptable Boston Terriers in
Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, North and South Carolina and we have
sister Rescues in these as well as many other states as well. |

Even if you're not quite ready to adopt a Boston of your own, you can help a great deal
for medical procedures for sick and injured Bostonians with a special gift for a little
dog, many of whom are too old or too sick to be adopted.
Checks are always appreciated in any amount and if you're interested,
please call or email us for more information.
Some people aren't able to adopt but do enjoy sponsoring
dogs. Without donations and sponsors, we are limited to how much we can help these poor little souls.
Rescue has also become a sanctuary for
older, sick, disabled or otherwise "un-adoptable" dogs. We have
many living happily in foster homes who're being made possible by your kind support.
They don't need to be a special needs dog to need a sponsor. All dogs need
sponsors and somebody special in their life. Dogs need families too and
they'll never let YOU down.
A Boston Terrier kid somewhere will thank you for your
Kindness

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
