DOG OF THE MONTH
You might remember Mac from our fundraising campaign in mid July which you can read here http://www.labrescue.com.au/blog/can-you-help-millie-and-mack 
Mac is a handsome 4-year-old Labrador cross. He loves to play fetch, tug-of-war and go exploring with his foster mum. When he comes home his favourite thing to do is curl up on the couch, upside down and have a big snooze. Mac is fantastically house trained and he sleeps right through the night without a peep.

HAPPY TAILS
ANNA was a puppy farm girl.  When surrendered at 6 years old, she was overweight, her teats hung to the ground, and she was absolutely terrified of everybody and just about everything.
Anna had been used solely for breeding.  She hadn’t experienced any human love or kindness, and was really petrified and distrustful of people.
Poor little girl.  What a hideous life she’d been forced to live.
Anna was adopted by her foster carer.  She is gaining trust and learning how to relax, but it has taken a very long time and lots of quiet, patient direction from her owners.

CANINE TIPS & TRICKS
Do you brush your dog’s teeth?
Stinky breath - oh, so common - is not the only reason why we should be doing this.
All too often people do not notice the tartar build-up on their dog’s teeth.
Tartar causes inflammation of the gums and can lead to painful mouth infections and tooth abscesses. Having your dog’s teeth professionally cleaned can be disruptive and expensive. Prevention is better than cure and the best defense is to get in the habit of brushing your dog’s teeth every day.
This simple home made tooth paste might even be appreciated by your Labby for it’s flavor.

Ingredients and Preparation:
•    1/4 cup organic coconut oil (if solid, place the jar in warm water for a while till it becomes liquid)
•    1/8 tsp of organic turmeric powder
•    1/8 tsp kelp powder
•    2 drops of organic stevia extract
•    Place all ingredients together in a glass or pottery bowl, mix together, blend well.
•    Pour resulting mixture (herbal toothpaste) into a small glass jar.
•    Store in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to brush your dogs teeth, scoop a small amount out with a teaspoon to use with a toothbrush, clean cloth or your finger. 

This newsletter is for general information only. While articles on nutrition and dog related topics are shown on this newsletter it is not possible to provide accurate advice on every dog's diet and/or needs. If you have specific questions about your dog's health or specialised dietary needs we recommend that you consult your vet.

I don't know what other pet owners usually think, but I genuinely feel that owning a pet whether it is dog or cat or any other animal is a mammoth answer-ability. In other words, I can say that owning a pet is like adding a new member to the family. Thus, we should develop closeness to the living souls just as likely as we usually develop tenderness for the people we love. Well, in this specific regard I would like to tell that dogs are not humans, they don't have the same canniness and potency to have dealings, they don't have the same sense of social consciousness and even they don't have the same indemnity under the legal code as an individual does, still they should be given with some care and affection like human beings. Here, you have displayed the lab report of September 2K16. Honestly, I had no idea about the events that were specially organized for the dogs. Yes, I feel sad as I missed it this time. But in the next event my pet will be a participant and this is my promise.
