Coddled Critters

I can access FB again! SOOO many updates to come. My domain name expired now too and was bought up by some jerky company that wants to sell it back to me. I made MyCritterConcierge.com and even got cards but now I am trying to think of just a word to add for a new domain name and not have to get a new DBA and change my bank account! I thought maybe coddledcritterstx or coddledcrittershouston but Houston seems limiting since I have people in Sugar Land and Richmond and Stafford and... so I just wasted money on really cool cards...

In case I forget to message someone, I am going to be temporarily unreachable. My phone has entered some sort of reboot loop. Holding the buttons down to turn it off doesn't work. I could, theoretically, remove the battery...but it takes a special tool and I would probably end up breaking it and it still might not fix it if I didn't. It has overheated itself, so I stuck it in the fridge, maybe if it cools down I can turn it off. I read this can sometimes happen when storage is full and I haven't taken photos or videos off my phone in over a year so it "might" be my fault...but regardless, I am not ignoring anyone!

I am so angry right now, I took a few minutes for myself on my way to a petsit and came to the park. I was driving around the parking lot catching pokemon and out in the middle of the parking lot is this pink cage...and I'm like no...no one would dump anything in a cage in this Texas heat

I have not been sharing pictures of my beautiful babies that are already 6 weeks old! This little boy was 2 pounds 5 ounces at 6 weeks. He should stay pretty small. He's so cute and fluffy!

The Dog Genome Project is still recruiting participants from both breeds. Dogs that do and those that do not show repetitive behaviors are welcome!

Herding breeds have undergone intense selection to hone their abilities to manage and move livestock. Occasionally these behaviors occur repetitively or intensely even outside of a herding context. Examples of such behaviors include circling or spinning, light/shadow chasing, heel nipping, or reaction to movement.

The NHGRI Dog Genome Project at NIH (Bethesda, MD, USA), under the direction of Dr. Elaine Ostrander, is recruiting the participation of owners of herding breed dogs to collect behavioral data. Initial participation involves the completion of a behavior survey. Select owners may be contacted for follow-up or to request a DNA sample from their dog for inclusion in the next stage of the study.

Please contact Dr. Dayna Dreger by email at [email protected] with questions or to request access to the survey.
