One of my cats came in with a head wound today and because I had trained him as a kitten and reinforced it throughout, I was able to examine the wound before calling our vet. Basically, he was offered a treat and then I waited until he touched my hand with his paw. During the examination he...
Excellent article. I've trained dogs, rats (fancy), a couple of ferrets and cats positively in my years. In fact I am now trying my hand with a couple of fish. Yes, I am completely mad but it seems to work whatever the species so it makes perfect sense to try it whatever animal you have.
Ok, we have tornados now. This is climate change. I;m very, very sad for this. It was expected though. We brits generally tend to ignore the signs though. I hope your sister has insurance to cover this or is this under the dreaded act of god clause?
It's been wet here but not as bad as some places have it. It is also ridiculously mild and I still have roses blooming outside my windows. This year's weather has me daring anyone to deny global warming!

She went doing something she loved. So very good of you to wait with her owner.
Of course it was devastating for you too but you need to know how comforting you must have been. You did a very good thing and should recognise that. Are you able to contact them and see how they are doing?
