Labrador Retrievers - Beautiful, Popular and Prone to Joint Problems
Intelligent. Patient. Tolerant. Mild mannered. Loyal.
With traits like these, is it any wonder the Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed of dog in the world? Since 1991, the Labrador Retriever has been the most popular registered breed in the United States, as well. They are gentle, affable and intelligent and considered by many to be the perfect family pet. They're also known for their working ability and are the most popular breed of working and guide dog in the United States, as well!
With good medical care and proper feeding, you can expect your Lab to live upwards of 13 years. It is a healthy breed with relatively few major problems... but, like other full-breed dogs, they are susceptible to certain inherited disorders, particularly those of the hip, elbow and knee. While not as common in Labs as in other breeds, dysplasia is also a concern.
Labs are somewhat prone to dysplasia of the hip and elbow, especially in larger dogs. Indeed, hip dysplasia is the most common genetic problem affecting dogs of all breeds. Canine hip dysplasia is a general term for the malformation of the hip joint that eventually leads to arthritis. This malformation occurs when the two parts of the hip joint - the ball (femoral head at the top of the upper leg bone) and socket (the "dented" area of the pelvic structure) are misaligned or misshapen. Dogs suffering from dysplasia are not as active as they could be due to significant pain. Often, the only cure for dysplasia is costly surgery to replace the dysplastic hip joint.
Labs also suffer from the risk of knee problems. A "luxating patella" is a common occurrence in the knee that results in the leg being "bow "shaped. This abnormality can cause abnormal wear and tear on the joint, resulting in the development of painful osteoarthritis for some Labs.
The only way to decrease the prevalence of these disorders is through conscientious breeding practices. However, even the most vigilant breeders cannot eliminate these genetic disorders altogether. There's no way of knowing whether an animal will develop a joint disorder later in life.
Regular trips to the veterinarian can play an important role in early detection and early treatment of problems. Unfortunately, the most commonly prescribed treatment for animals suffering from genetic disorders such as hip dysplasia is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As in humans, these medications provide temporary relief by decreasing inflammation, but not without a host of potential side effects.
There is an alternative, however.
Supplementation with glucosamine and chondroitin - the natural building blocks of healthy cartilage - offers relief from pain with long-term healing and little risk of side effects. Like NSAIDs, glucosamine and chondroitin decrease inflammation but they also give damaged joints the raw materials needed to build new cartilage, resulting in true relief from pain.
Syn-flex for Pets offers a high-grade liquid glucosamine formula designed to give your pet maximum relief in minimum time. Some satisfied owners report significant improvements in their pets in less than two weeks of use! Synflex (Syn-flex) is a safe, effective, inexpensive, and administering a dose to your pet is as simple as pouring a small amount in a dish or over his/her food.

Why Do Dogs Like Stuffed Toys?
She is an amazing Certified Therapy Dog but, she will steal resident's stuffed toys if I would allow her to. Now, for those of you who are handy with the needle, you could remove the stuffing, and fill the toy with tough fabric instead, that way, it will last forever!
I think that dogs feel closer to being a dog when they actually have a stuffed toy in their mouth. They feel that they have caught it. They can carry it around, they can claim it, they can retrieve it (especially retrievers), and it's theirs. And, it feels good to them. After a while, the smell of this stuffed toy becomes awful to us, but great to the dogs.
Depending on the breed you have, some dogs will kill the stuffed toys, some dogs will love it, sleep on it and snuggle with it. Retrievers will consistently have it in their mouth when you return home.
By far, the cheapest way to keep your dog in stuffed toys is buying cheap, right sized stuffed animals at garage/yard sales. I wash them in hot water, and a bit of Solumel (Melaleuca household cleaner that helps get rid of bacteria and it is animal and nature friendly), this is very important! Then, I remove all the detachable; lose things like eyes, whiskers, etc. These toys are a very cheap alternative to expensive pet store toys.
Be very careful though that you check and make sure that this toy is not stuffed with small, styrofoam beads. Avoid those. You can easily tell by squishing the toy in your hand. Dogs often rip open their stuffed toys, and the styrofoam beads could become a hazard to your dog.
I know of some big dogs that shake their stuffed toy to so much that they are actually killing it. If you have more than one dog watch that the other dog doesn't get hurt by the toy that is being shaken. It is easy to have your other dogs eye get punctured or hurt.
So to repeat the question, why do dogs like stuffed toys? Well, it seems that we all love stuffed toys. Adults have them, kids love them, cats play with stuffed mice, and dogs claim them to kill it, to claim it, or just to love it.
Ruth's passions are people and pet health. She owns 2 dogs, one of which is a Registered Pet Therapy Dog (Her Golden Retriever), and the second, an adopted Black Lab, Shorty. Her Pet Blog: http://www.happypetstop.com/blog

A Cow Stuffed Toy is Perfect For a Young Child
The animals that live on a farm are some of the most familiar to children. "Old MacDonald had a Farm" (the iconic song about a farmer named MacDonald and the various animals he keeps on his farm), is one of the very first tunes young children learn so they can identify the sounds farm animals make. Most popular among them, are pigs - "oink, oink," ducks - "quack, quack," horses - "neigh, neigh," and cows - "moo, moo." Of all the sounds heard on a farm, the easiest to pronounce amongst the animals are the cows. Not surprisingly, once a child learns the sound a cow makes, the purchase of a cow stuffed toy or two, is not far behind.
In the world of children's programming, there is one very famous cow that was first introduced on Sesame Street by puppeteer Richard Hunt in 1973 - her name, is Gladys. Throughout the '70's and '80's, Gladys was part of Sesame Street's large ensemble cast. While she made appearances in what are referred to as "street stories," she also could often be seen in inserts like on Guy Smiley's game show or Prairie Dawn's pageants. Her claim to fame is that she is a wannabe actress and singer (she has a high-pitches operatic voice) who believes she can easily compete with some of the great diva singers of the day. Despite never having appeared on the operatic stage, she nonetheless thinks of herself as a very grand opera singer. Needless to say, Gladys loves to belt out a tune and is also known to wear a wig or two.
Children familiar with Gladys the cow, know that her most famous moment is when she gives a performance of "I'm Proud to Be a Cow." The song gives a number of reasons as to why she is so proud of her species. The quote most often heard from Gladys is "I'm proud, proud, proud, to be a cow!"
When Richard Hunt died in 1992, Gladys the Cow Muppet was retired. She was revived again in 2003 when she was voiced by Jennifer Barnhart. Upon reintroduction, Gladys once again began to appear more frequently as part of the ensemble cast of characters on Sesame Street. Despite the fact that Gladys is a pushy, loud, opera-singing cow, she is a much needed Muppet, as she adds a strong female presence to the mix.
While cow stuffed toys don't all look like Gladys, there are still any number of adorable cow stuffed toys to choose from. Some online stuffed animal stores have a two and a half foot tall cow stuffed toy that doesn't look anything like a Muppet - instead, it's more like the real thing. There is the option of choosing a brown and white or black and white spotted cow stuffed toy from the MyBigPlush collection. Despite not being Gladys, these cow stuffed toys are equally as engaging and will keep a child happy for years to come.
