GREAT NEWS. Patches has been reunited with his
family! Big thanks to those who contacted friends and posted his
status to the various websites and FB pages, and also to the
wonderful volunteers who were out searching for him. Apparently when
spotted he readily walked up to a family member. I'm sure the little
monster had quite an adventure but he seems quite relieved to be home.
And his two little kids are mighty happy to have him back.
I love it when dog people work together!
------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep your eyes peeled for PATCHES, a young male Saint Bernard who managed to slip out the screen door this past weekend.
PATCHES is an intact male, about 110 pounds. He is a roughcoat (longhaired) Saint who has a splash coat and a white face.
He had only joined his new family a few days ago and he doesn't yet know where "home" is.
His
humans live in Worcester, Massachusetts. PATCHES has been sighted in
the Malvern Road area of Worcester and also near Route 290 around Exit
11.
Though he's a
friendly boy, we're sure PATCHES is confused and maybe a little bit
scared so approach slowly. If you run toward him he will likely run
away.
He does answer to his name.
If
you happen to spot PATCHES (or better yet, if you can convince him to
come to you) please call his mom, Danielle, at 774-823-3377. or contact
New England Saint Rescue -- 978-443-3556 or 978-502-5175.
PATCHES' family includes two heartbroken little children and they desperately want their big huggy bear to come home.

This great idea comes from Ken Howes, Executive Director of the American Association of State Troopers. Pass the word!
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

WINTER HEALTH PROBLEMS:
Keeping Your Dog Safe When It’s Cold and Wet Outside
Lorenzo Puertas
 One of the first rules of pet first aid is this: “Your pet can’t talk.” It’s a simple reminder that you must be especially observant when dealing with medical problems in pets. Your dog can’t tell you when and where he hurts, when he feels cold or hot, when he is nauseous or simply feels sick. Pay close attention to your pet’s physical state and the little signals dogs give when they aren’t well.

 Each breed of dog has its own unique personality and characteristics. Each breed also has certain health problems to which it is particularly susceptible, and an awareness of these risk factors helps the dog owner and the veterinarian to manage the risk factors encountered in the breed.
