Storms dump lots of snow in Prescott Valley, Arizona

Storms dump lots of snow in Prescott Valley, Arizona

I was able to get some pictures of the third round of snow Saturday morning. We received a total of 14"  and it rained on Thursday which took alot of it away. Friday night it came back with another 6". You can see the damage to the fence in the back yard from the winds, and the top of my windmill is MIA. Everything has turned to ice below the snow. You can see my dog Pepper enjoying it though.

Dozens of animals set for euthanasia rescued

Dozens of animals set for euthanasia rescued
(by BETH SHAYNE, BShayne@WCNC.com) DALLAS, N.C. -- They were led out of the Gaston County Animal Shelter one by one, as animal lovers from all over North Carolina clapped and fussed over them. A parade of dogs and cats, all of them just escaped either the gas chamber or a lethal injection.

"I think it's just really amazing that these dogs that usually get looked over, don't get chosen, don't get picked, actually got picked today. They are all going free, and they are all going to have a home," volunteer Allyson Siegel said.

MANAGING THE MUD So you are ready to

MANAGING THE MUD So you are ready to go back inside, but you aren't ready to mop the floors? What do you do if your dog has managed to get covered in mud? Even if it is just the paws, tracking mud into the house can make for a major cleaning project. Here is how to manage the mud tracking: Get doormats for each doorway to the outside. Make sure they look similar to one another. These mats will serve as a visual barrier to entry for your dog that, with your help and training, can show the dog just where to wait before coming inside. Pair each doormat with a towel for wiping down paws. Practice makes perfect. Make sure to gear up your daily practice of obedience training so that you can train your dog to apply their knowledge to the new season's activities. Sit or Stand Stay is the perfect command to replace the wiggle worm behaviors commonly associated with paw cleaning. Remember, consistency and repetitions create habits in both humans and canines alike. Make your trips outside an adventure within limits that are clear to the dog. Show them what you do and do not want them to do over and over again before expecting them to understand and do it on their own. A few weeks of chaperoning may be a lot of work, but it will pay off in years of trustworthiness and positive behavior in your dog. While we cannot help you teach your dog to mop the floors themselves, we are here if you have any questions on how to curb spring fever.

DOWN/STAY COMMAND c Begin with your dog in

DOWN/STAY COMMAND c Begin with your dog in a SIT/STAY position, on your left side. c Place your left hand palm down, pinkie toward your dog, around the leash. As you kneel on your right knee, slide leash through your hand until your hand is touching the dogs neck. c As you say "__________, DOWN" (command tone), begin to apply pressure on the dogs right shoulder with your left hand. Gently press down while pulling back simultaneously, as you give the DOWN hand signal with your other hand. You may also pat the ground as you give the command. c Once your dog is in the DOWN position say “STAY" (command tone) and begin to move away. When he breaks the STAY use a quick SNAP toward the ground as you say "NO!" (correction tone) Give the STAY command. Repeat until your dog remains in the DOWN position until you release him. c Your goal is to be able to step over your dog while he remains in the DOWN position. Note: The DOWN command is an act of submission for your dog. This is by far the most important command your dog can learn. It is mandatory that your dog master this. Remember: Make it fun!
