Valentine's Day Pet Safety
Valentine's Day means chocolate, flowers, candles and other special
treats that may be tempting and potentially hazardous for your pets.
Be extra vigilant and keep these items well out of your pets' reach at
all times.
Symptoms from chocolate ingestion include hyperactivity, tremors,
racing heartbeat, and seizures. Damage to the liver can also occur
and is not so obvious. Seek immediate medical attention.

| Reminder: To all A & B Adopters |
| This rescue cares about our dogs from the day we hear about them needing help until their last day on this earth. Because we care, we expect every adopter to call us immediately to let us know if their English Setter has escaped their clutches. We can and want to help -- you're not bothering us! As a part of the A & B Family, it is your responsibility to make the phone call to someone on the contacts page and to send us an e-mail if you have a computer. We can help bring your dog back home. In most cases, with A & B's help, our English Setters have been back in their homes within 30 minutes. When a dog is lost, time is of the essence! Please make a copy of the contacts page and tack it onto your fridge. |

Interesting Information
- Setter ears are prone to infection, it is important to cleanse them
regularly, especially after swimming.
- Commercial solutions usually contain alcohol but this is not
advisable because it can be harmful if there is damage to the ear
drum.
- Commercial solutions usually contain a surfactant (soap), to
dissolve grease. Not necessary.
- Commercial solutions contain perfume to mask the smell of
vinegar. Again, not necessary.
- Boric acid has a low solubility in water so it takes a minute or two
to fully dissolve. At room temperature the maximum it can dissolve
is about twice the amount of the recipe. You cannot cause harm by
making it too strong.
- Use this cleanser every time after your dog swims, the dirt will
come out over time as he shakes his head after you put the cleanser
in his ears.
