  • Your New Rescue Dog
    National Great Pyrenees Rescue - 1 - Your New Rescue Dog Thank you giving a home to a rescue dog! By doing so, you have saved a life. It takes many volunteers and tremendous amounts of time and effort to save each dog. Please remember each and every one of them is special to us and we want the best for them. As such, we want you to be happy with your dog. No dog is perfect, and a rescue dog may require time and patience to reach their full potential, but they will reward you a hundred times over. Be patient, be firm, but most of all have fun and enjoy your new family member! Meeting a transport Traveling on a commercial or multi-legged volunteer transport is very stressful for dogs. Many will not eat or drink while traveling, so bring water and a bowl to the meeting place. Have a leash and name tag ready with your contact info and put these on the dog ASAP. No one wants to see a dog lost, especially after going through so much to get to you. Take your new Pyr for a walk around the parking lot. It’s tempting to cuddle a new dog, but what they really need is some space. They will let you know when they are ready for attention. Puppies often need to be carried at first, but they do much better once they feel grass under their feet. Young puppies should not be placed on the ground at transport meeting locations. Their immune system may not be ready for this.

  • The Intelligence of Dogs a Guide to the Thoughts, Emotions, and Inner Lives of Our Canine
    Praise for The Intelligence of Dogs "For those who take the dog days literally, the best in pooch lit is Stanley Coren’s The Intelligence of Dogs. Psychologist, dog trainer, and all-around canine booster, Coren trots out everyone from Aristotle to Darwin to substantiate the smarts of canines, then lists some 40 commands most dogs can learn, along with tests to determine if your hairball is Harvard material.” —U.S. News & World Report "Fascinating . What makes The Intelligence of Dogs such a great book, however, isn’t just the abstract discussions of canine intelli­ gence. Throughout, Coren relates his findings to the concrete, dis­ cussing the strengths and weaknesses of various breeds and including specific advice on evaluating different breeds for vari­ ous purposes. It's the kind of book would-be dog owners should be required to read before even contemplating buying a dog.” —The Washington Post Book World “Excellent book . Many of us want to think our dog’s persona is characterized by an austere veneer, a streak of intelligence, and a fearless-go-for-broke posture. No matter wrhat your breed, The In­ telligence of Dogs . will tweak your fierce, partisan spirit . Coren doesn’t stop at intelligence and obedience rankings, he also explores breeds best suited as watchdogs and guard dogs . [and] does a masterful job of exploring his subject's origins, vari­ ous forms of intelligence gleaned from genetics and owner/trainer conditioning, and painting an inner portrait of the species.” —The Seattle Times "This book offers more than its w7ell-publicized ranking of pure­ bred dogs by obedience and working intelligence.

    05_779628 ch01.qxp 5/9/06 2:27 PM Page 1 1 Are You Ready for Parenthood? hen you acquire your very own dog or puppy, it is like having a baby in the house. Only you are now the parent! The family dog Wmay have been your sibling, but with your own dog, you are now the person of authority and the person responsible for someone else. Pet ownership means that you may sometimes have to give up your own fun activities in order to care for your dog properly—just like your parents need to sacrifice for you sometimes. Still, having a dog has so many rewards of its own that you will probably not even notice. Why Dogs Are Good for Kids Dogs are good for you for many reasons. A dog is a friend who will always be there for you, 24/7. Your dog is never too busy to hang out with you and is always willing to try anything you want—be it a midnight snack or an early morning COPYRIGHTEDjog in the park. A dog will sleep MATERIAL in with you or get up early with no complaints. A dog provides unconditional love, even when you are having a bad day or are in a bad mood. A dog won’t care if your hair is a mess, you flunked your math test, or you were dead last in the cross-country meet. Your dog won’t even care if you snore at night; he probably snores too! 1 05_779628 ch01.qxp 5/9/06 2:27 PM Page 2 2 Head of the Class Kids and dogs keep each other in great shape.

  • TRANSCENDENT WASTE by Robert Dale Glick a Dissertation Submitted
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The University of Utah: J. Willard Marriott Digital Library TRANSCENDENT WASTE by Robert Dale Glick A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English The University of Utah August 2012 Copyright © Robert Dale Glick 2012 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF DISSERTATION APPROVAL The dissertation of Robert Dale Glick has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Lance Olsen , Chair 4/19/2012 Date Approved Melanie Rae Thon , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Scott Black , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Kathryn Bond Stockton , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Lisa Henry Benham , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved and by Vince Pecora , Chair of the Department of English and by Charles A. Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT Transcendent Waste is a collection of stories that explores the difficulties of bereavement through what we literally and metaphorically throw away. Characters in Transcendent Waste question the validity of ritual in healing, displace guilt and grief onto relationship and career, and attempt to empathize with others who understand death and mourning in radically different ways. Influenced by Bataillean notions of excess and Kristeva’s concept of the abject, I explore loss by using the concept of “waste” within literal, symbolic, and conceptual frameworks. Waste can signify trash, a surfeit of language, the lost potential of a life, the misuse of time, or the degradation of the body.
