 Unmasking the Guilty Paw-Ty
Thursday, July 8, 2010
Coachella Valley, California
Story and photos by Valerie Kattz
I always wondered what my dogs did when they thought I wasn’t looking. How did they spend their time during the long hours I was at work? I imagined wild animal parties where they feasted on fancy high-heel shoes as if they were t-bone steaks. I had, after all, come home on many occasions to find my favorite heels in shreds or a remote control missing buttons. What part of “leave the bedroom door shut so they couldn’t get into these things,” didn’t I understand? Sigh.

 How Do You Know If Your Dog Is Too Hot?
Written by Palm Springs Guides Staff Writer
It would really be nice if you could simply ask your dog, “Are you to hot?” You can do that with people, but children and dogs either do not know or cannot answer to tell you, so as a responsible pet owner, it is up to you to recognize the signs that your dog (or cat or other pet) is too hot.

One of the laws of thermodynamics states, “Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed.” Are souls the same since they embody our life force energy? I had a very beautiful experience today that really caught me by surprise. Before I can share this experience with you, I need to give a little personal history so that you can better understand the impact today’s event had on me.

Story and photos by Janet Walker
If you’re a dog owner like me, I’m sure you have occasionally been puzzled by some of your beloved pet’s seemingly unusual behavior. For instance, why would a dog put his nose directly on the grass, sniff deeply, continue to squish their nose ever further in the grass, and sniff deeply yet again? According to psychologist and cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz’s book “Inside of a Dog — What Dogs See, Smell, and Know,” it’s all in the nose if you’re a dog. A beagle, for instance, has 300-million receptors in its nose, while the human nose has a mere 6 million. So it’s only sensible that the dog put all 300 million to use, right? And they do.

If you were spotted, hairy, wrinkled, bald, tall, short, or even long and stumpy, you were welcomed Friday and Saturday, Jan. 9-10, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. And that was just the dogs. The event, a two-day congregation of all breeds, was sponsored by the Kennel Club of Palm Springs. All breeds definitely showed up, from the tallest Irish wolfhound to the teensiest Chihuahua.

Da Vinci was there. Zeus was there with his girlfriend Jolie. Elvira, Merlin and Punky showed up too, just to add some variety. No, we’re not talking about the Mistress of the Dark or the artist who painted the Mona Lisa or even the King of the Gods. What we’re talking about are the canine members of the Standard Poodle Club of the Desert near Palm Springs, Calif.

The tiny ball of white fluff whizzed at me as I was taking my walk in the neighborhood. "Whoa," I thought, "step aside for a dynamite dog!" But then I realized that the pooch was heading straight for a busy intersection with nary an owner in sight — time to take evasive action. I distracted it (we later found it was a her) and managed to get hold of the collar. Still no owner in sight, so I finally picked up this tiny bundle of friendly energy and walked up and down the street, sure that the doggy had escaped from somewhere. When I failed to find anyone who looked like a panicked pet owner, I took the dog home.
