I love dogs and would love to open up a doggie day care center ! Can you tell me how to go about this ? Helen

Dear Helen,

Please find out about your local zoning laws before taking any further steps. You can call your town hall and local chamber of commerce for additional guidance.  Shirley

What can I do about an owner with the same dog breed who constantly digs up dirt on my dog's relatives and bad mouths me behind my back ? Amy

Dear Amy,

I am sorry to hear about this and know that such a person can cause a lot of problems to your reputation. There are several approaches to this situation, but I think the best one is honesty. Make sure that everyone knows the truth about your dog's background and your policies.  I wish you well !   Shirley

I just found out that my dog's  littermate has Diabetes and feel very nervous. What are some early signs of this condition ? Babs in Oregon

Dear Babs,

Some early signs of Diabetes are excessive urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, lethargy. Why not visit your vet this month and have him/her do some tests ? Shirley

Shirley's background Information:  I studied alternative medicine as part of my Anthropology major at Hunter College of the City University in New York. My family has a history of severe allergies and we can trace five generations with these health problems and so I have "hands-on" experience with this topic. During the twenty years that I spent in Germany, I also studied German homeopathy and became familiar with many herbal remedies which are used in Europe.  I am a dedicated dog lover and would like to try and educate owners on the topic of allergies.  I hope that I can be of help to you and your dogs.
