MORRIS
Back in the ‘60’s, the most famous cat
in America was a 14lb orange tabby
charmer who was rescued from a
Chicago animal shelter, by Bob Martwick, a professional animal trainer.
Morris became spokes-cat for Purina’s
9 Lives cat food in 1969, and eventually
became honorary director of Star-Kist
Foods, with veto power over any cat
food flavor he didn’t like. Up until the
time he died in 1978, Morris lived with
Bob in a Chicago dog kennel where
there was never any question as to who
was top cat!

All in a Dog’s day at Dioji!
Whoever said that dogs can’t have fun
away from home didn’t know what they
were talking about.
At Dioji K9 Resort and Spa, it’s the dog’s
that are having all the fun, although I’ve
noticed that even the attendants are
laughing and smiling while playing with
these adorable four-legged canine’s!
PAW-SCOPES
DOGS
This little pup is definitely an attention seeker and all he wants is to spend
his waking hours with you and is always ready for his next adventure.
At this time of year, remember to keep a towel at your door to wipe their
paws because they very often find a mess outside to play in.
CATS
Strong personality is definitely the trait of this month’s cat. It enjoys
playing with lots of toys and is friendly towards other household pets. But
periodically, this cat is independent and will need lots of quality time
alone. A perfect cat to have if you need to work a lot.

DELTA WILL NO LONGER
MAKE PETS FLY AS CARGO
Following the deaths and disappearances of dozens of pets in the last 10 years, Delta has recently
announced that beginning in March of 2016, they will no longer make pets fly in the cargo hold of their
passenger planes.
“Delta will no longer accept pets as checked baggage, but will continue to transport allowable pets in
all cabins of service except Delta One, effective March 1, 2016,” Delta said in a statement. “Customers
may also ship pets for travel within the United States as freight through Delta Cargo.”
MarketWatch reported that in the past 10 years alone, 74
pets have died and another 14 have gone missing while
under Delta’s care. These deaths account for about 25
percent of all airline pet deaths.
In 2011, Delta stopped allowing brachycephalic dogs (ones
with squished-in faces, like bulldogs and boxers) in the cargo
bays because of their difficulty breathing in extreme
situations.
In cargo, temperature and air pressure can fluctuate, allowing
these dogs in particular to succumb to inauspicious
circumstances.
Unfortunately, large dogs will still not be allowed in the cabin
due to their size, but pet owners will be given the option of
transporting their dogs via Delta Cargo, which the company
says is a safer alternative.
“Pets that are transported via Delta Cargo are monitored closely by customer service teams during
their travel,” the company said. “While at airports, pets are handled in temperature-controlled holding
areas and vans. Also, Delta Cargo enlists professional kenneling services if overnight stays are
required.”
Members of the military with active transfer orders and people with service and therapy dogs will still
be allowed to check their pets as “baggage,” which is a perplexing notion, given that these people need
their pets to be with them.
“Many of us at Delta are pet lovers and we know that they are important members of the family,” said
Bill Lentsch, senior vice president for airport customer service and cargo operations. “This change will
ultimately ensure that we have a high-quality, consistent service for pets when their owners choose to
ship them with Delta Cargo.”
WAY BACK WHEN
Each month we list a different breed of dog or cat
along with a little of the breed’s history. We hope you
will enjoy reading this section.
LHASA APSO
The Lhasa Apso is originally from the remote mountains of Tibet –
particularly near the sacred city of Lhasa – where they were bred
as sentinels and companions for temples and Buddhist monasteries, with special efforts taken to fix a type closely resembling a lion
in color and shape.
The breed’s keen intelligence, sharp bark, acute hearing and innate
ability to distinguish friend from foe made them perfectly suited to
these tasks. The origin of the Lhasa Apso is not clear. Some experts
suggest that the smallest puppies of the larger Tibetan Terrier
sheepdogs, whose legs were too short to make them effective
flock herders, were given to the monks and became foundation
stock for the breed. Others say that this is complete conjecture.
The word “apso,” which is not Tibetan but rather Mongolian,
suggests a northern component to the breed.
The monks selectively and purely bred these dogs for centuries and
jealously guarded them from outside influence. Legend has it that
when a monk (lama, or priest) died but did not reach Nirvana, he
was reincarnated as one of the sacred monastery dogs. Occasionally, between the 16th and 20th centuries, the Dalai Lamas (the
spiritual leaders of Tibet) presented small lion dogs as gifts to the
Imperial families of China and to other dignitaries, as tokens of
peace, prosperity and good fortune.
These Lhasas were
incorporated into strains of small Chinese dogs, no doubt
contributing to the formation of the Shih Tzu and the Pekingese.
Before the 1930s, both the Lhasa Apso (a monastery dog) and the
larger Tibetan Terrier (a working sheepdog) were referred to as
“Tibetan Terriers,” which causes confusion when exploring the
history of both breeds. Because they were so closely guarded in
Tibet, the Lhasa Apso was late to become well-known among
outside dog fanciers. One or two may have filtered out of Tibet in
the 1800s, as Victorian paintings occasionally depict dogs quite
similar to the Lhasa. Serious breeding outside of Tibet began
around the turn of the century, when British explorers and
emissaries brought them back from travels to Tibet. The Kennel
Club in London recognized the Lhasa Apso in 1908 as the “Lhasa
Terrier, 10-inch type,” to distinguish it from the taller and leggier
“Lhasa Terrier, 14-inch type.” World War I nearly decimated the
breed, but it reappeared in the 1920s.
In 1922, Colonel and Mrs. Eric Bailey acquired a pair of Lhasas
when they lived on the Tibetan border in Sikkim. They returned to
their English homeland in 1928 with six of their sturdy little dogs,
which they showed as the “Lhasa Terrier, 10-inch type” for several
years. The Kennel Club (England) finally decided to separate the
Lhasa Apso from the larger Tibetan Terrier in 1934. Unfortunately,
World War II was a roadblock to implementation of this change,
and the breed descended into near obscurity. After the war,
fanciers slowly rebuilt the Lhasa Apso breed, which finally achieved
Championship eligibility in the Kennel Club (England) in 1965.
The breed fared somewhat better in the United States, where it
gained a firm foothold during the 1930s and 1940s. During that
time, the thirteenth Dalai Lama presented at least three Lhasa
Apsos to Mr. and Mrs. Suydam Cutting of New Jersey. Three more
quickly followed, and together they formed the foundation of the
breed in North America. The American Kennel Club recognized the
Lhasa Apso in 1935; today, it is one of three breeds of Tibetan
ancestry being shown in the Non-Sporting Group. During the rest
of the 20th century, the Lhasa Apso rose exponentially in
popularity, until it became one of the most sought-after of all small
dogs world-wide. A Lhasa took Best in Show at the Crufts World
Dog Show in 1984.
Modern Lhasa Apsos thrive equally on large estates and in tiny
apartments. They continue their service as sentinels, spirited show
dogs and beloved companions in the United States and many other
countries. The breed’s highly acute sense of hearing also makes
them highly valued as service dogs for the deaf.
Greyfriars Bobby is a statue in Edinburgh, dedicated to a loyal
Skye Terrier named Bobby. When his owner, John Gray, died in 1858,
Bobby refused to leave Gray’s graveside for any length of time. Dogs
weren’t technically allowed at the graveyard, but Bobby touched the
hearts of locals who built him a shelter and rallied for him to stay.
Unbelievably, he lay on the grave for 14 years, only leaving for food.
Bobby continued guarding the grave until he died in 1872, aged 16.
Bobby is buried in the same graveyard as Gray, in Greyfriars Kirkyard,
which you can also visit. What love and devotion our four-legged friends
give us.
Loyalty
You can't buy loyalty, they say,
I bought it though, the other day
You can’t buy friendships, tried and true
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
of happiness, so all in all,
the purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devotion from the start

Segmental Displacement adjustments can help
improve your pet’s function.
As the spinal biomechanics improve, nerve irritation
and dysfunction also improve, relieving your pet from
their secondary conditions (symptoms).
Animal Chiropractic through Segmental Correction is
gaining in popularity with pet owners as a safe, noninvasive solution to many health issues that face our
four legged family members.
Segmental Displacement of the spine is the
underlying cause of a myriad of secondary conditions
in pets. Slight shifts in the vertebrae can lead to joint
dysfunction at that spinal level, which may cause
spasms and pain.
In addition, there may be
constriction or irritation of spinal nerves; this may
cause dysfunction in the tissues supported by those

FREQUENCIES
Dogs hear at a wider range of
frequencies than humans. The low
end of the range is similar: 67 Hz,
but dogs hear noises up to 45 kHz,
while humans only hear sounds up
to about 23 kHz. This means that
they could be hearing and
responding to sounds that
we can't hear at all. Cats can hear
higher-pitched
sounds
than
either dogs or humans, detecting
frequencies from 55 Hz up to
79 kHz (a range of 10.5 octaves).

Presidential Pets #7
from 1829 to 1837. Jackson's strong personality and personal
code of conduct earned him the nickname "Old Hickory."
ANDREW JACKSON
7TH PRESIDENT (1829-1837)
Birth: March 15, 1767 at Lancaster County, South Carolina
Death: June 8, 1845 at Hermitage (Nashville), Tennessee
Nearly all U.S. presidents found a common way to relax and
unwind during their time in the White House by spending
time with presidential pets.
President Andrew Jackson was no exception to this rule,
keeping several notable pets during his time in office.
Jackson had several notable pets. He was fond of horses,
owning so many that he had to ask Congress for approval to
build new, more spacious
stables. One inhabitant of
these new stables was Sam
Patch, Jackson's horse, a gift
received during his presidency. The horse was named
after a popular daredevil of
the time who made several
jumps into the Niagara River
near the base of Niagara
Falls.
Jackson also had several
SAM PATCH
racehorses, including the
fillies Emily, Lady Nashville,
and Bolivia, but the most famous by far was Thruxton.
Jackson was so fond of his beloved racehorse that, when a
race between Thruxton and another undefeated horse was
canceled and the forfeit fee was disputed, he got into a
deadly duel that ended with the other horse's owner's son-in
-law, Charles Dickinson, dead and with a bullet permanently
lodged in his own chest.
Jackson also had a pet parrot named Poll. Originally a gift for
his wife, Rachel, the bird came under Jackson's care after his
wife's death. Given his rough and tough nature, it is no
surprise that the parrot added some vulgar words to its vocabulary. This fact became problematic at Jackson's funeral
when the bird began cursing so continuously and loudly that
it had to be removed from the building.
The nation's seventh president, Jackson is regarded as a
tough, strong-willed man. Born in 1767, the White House
reports that he did not attend school regularly while growing
up. Still, he read law on his own for two years and became a
respected lawyer in Tennessee, according to the White
House Historical Association. He rose to national fame
when, as a major general in the War of 1812, he defeated
the British.
Jackson was a presidential candidate in the election of 1824.
Although John Quincy Adams won that year, Jackson felt he
had only done so with the backing of Henry Clay, a candidate
-turned-supporter who ultimately became Adams's
secretary of state. Feeling that a corrupt bargain – support
for a high position – had taken place between the two,
Jackson started his campaign against Adams almost immediately and won the next two elections, serving as president
DID YOU KNOW…?
 Jackson’s White House inaugural ball was the first one
open to the public. Jackson was popular with the common constituents, and many chose to come to the ball.
The entire party ended up being a wild affair, with the
phrase “drunken mob” often used to describe it.
 Jackson believed that the electoral vote should be
abolished and that both presidential and vice presidential candidates should be elected by popular vote.
 He not only survived an attempted assassination, but
Jackson, then 67 years old, beat up his would-be
assassin himself after the man’s two guns misfired.
