Two nights ago, Reka started acting frantic about 11pm.
I let her out. It's coyote breeding season, and she is
fascinated by them. I assumed she wanted to go out and
listen to them howling. I brought her in, and she spent
the night franticly and desperately demanding to go out.

After about 4am, I finally put her in the barn, locked
securely in a horse stall for the night.

She came in by morning, and had a normal active, playful
day. Last night, at 11pm, She franticly DEMANDED to go
out. I let her out, and brought her in. At midnight, she
DEMANDED to be let out. I let her out, but I went out
to the barn and got a crate, and decided she could
spend the rest of the night in the crate. We were NOT
going to do a repeat of the previous night AGAIN.

At 3am, she whined so loudly, I then decided not to
allow her to set a precedence of this type of behavior.
So I took her crate out to the heated gun shop and
decided to let her act out her bad behavior in peace,
and send a message that her obnoxious behavior
was not going to be tolerated.

This morning at 6am, I went out, and she had vomited
(normal looking dog food) and defecated in her crate
(not normal for Reka, but then, She normally didn't
sleep in a crate, NEVER gets corrected (she never does
anything to GET corrected for) and was probably nerves
from the outside experience, plus reprimand and solitary
confinement.)

I let her in the house while I cleaned the cage. Hoping
I had made my point. She acted healthy and normal, and
playful and chipper. But then I noticed a spot of blood on
the bathroom linoleum and in the bathtub. I was the last
to take a bath, so I knew REKA was the last in the tub.

That blood didnt come from me, so it HAD to come from
Reka. Thinking about her nearing the end of her heat cycle, I still
didnt think a lot about it. I thought her
obnoxious behavior the past couple nights WAS her heat
cycle.. and corresponding coyote breeding season.

Then while feeding her breakfast, I saw the whole story.
She had blood (fresh) streaming from her RECTUM. UhOh.

I had her at the vets office this morning before he
opened. He just said her intestines were all bunched
up with huge air pockets.

Was there any chance that she ate strings of carpets? I
said, last Thursday we took a plastic tarp out of the yard
that we had over the grill to protect it from the weather
because she was chewing it. That would explain
EVERYTHING.

The strings are binding and bunching up her intestines,
cutting her internally and tying her intestines in knots
as it works its way through.

Reka is in a very critical situation. She is going to
require extensive and expensive surgery that I cant
afford. I will manage.

Even with the surgery, her condition will be critical
for awhile. Scary thoughts. I would never have
treated her the way I did last night, if I had even a
clue that she was sick. I feel so badly.

Actually, I borrowed the vets office kitten once for a
couple days for school education on pet care and safe
handling as well as responsible pet ownership.

I kept the kitten over night in a crate within a crate
and yet my dog (yes, Angelic Danny, as well as Taya
and Toby tore that kittne to threads from between the
crate bars. (apparently he stuck his paws through the
crate to bat at the dogs. I was out doing yard work
and rushed in to find the little kittens pieces and
parts being torn through by ALL the dogs.

I called my girl friend to come get my dogs. I screamed
displeasure, and stalked out with the kitten. Danny, et
al spent 3 days in a kennel until I finally felt like I
could interact with them without doing bodily harm. All
three dogs were never touched, but knew they had done
something so unspeakable that I wouldn't associate with
them and they got banished.

To this day, Taya (mom and Dad's dog) and Danny will not
look at a cat. When confronted with one, Danny wees
himself and cowers hiding behind me for help. I'm not
saying this would work this way with all dogs, But mom
and dad now have a house cat, and she has never been
harmed by any of the dogs. Danny is there all the time,
unsupervised, and has no interest in harming the cat.

Here it would be abuse. If you like your cat you keep it
home. I run a state authorized and monitored nuisance
animal trapline. This morning there was a cat in a snare.
Ordinarily, an animal caught in a snare can be released
unharmed. One of the animals I am targeting is coyotes
(and the complaint was that coyotes were killing area cats)
Duh.. If your cats are becoming lunch for wild animals, to
me .. It makes sense to keep your cats in where they can't
become lunch.. whatever.

Regarding this cat in the snare. It went nuts. It leaped,
and tangled itself, and most certainly strangulated it's
intestines. It had the snare pulled tight down to the
diameter of a dime (just large enough to encircle the
spine) around the waist area. This cats snarled, and
attacked. Trying to extricate this cat was exceedingly
difficult, not to mention dangerous. Because I feared
damage to the intestines and death of the gut, I imagined
this cat was not likely to survive. It would have
been much simpler to dispatch the unfortunate cat and take
out the dead body. Instead, this cat wore a collar. it
deserved a chance, and the owner deserved closure. (no id
on the collar) . It escaped, just as I released it and it
couldn't be taken to the vet for examination. I will
probably never know if this particular cat survives the
experience or not.

People in the area were aware that trapping was being
done and apparently still let their cats run free, both
endangered by the traps and by the coyotes being targeted
that are causing a problem with their cat population.
Had that cat not been wearing a collar, I would not have
tried to release this hostile cat. Releasing it may not have
been a kindness, but then... cats weren't supposed to be
attracted to this type of trap, in this position, and then
they weren't supposed to go ape, to get themselves in this
situation. If you like your pet, you keep them home.

Hey Tobias!
I just sent some of my husband's trap line catches to
http://www.wild-about-trapping.com

I didn't get all his catch so far this year. In fact, I
didn't get most. So far he's had 14 beaver (largest ohio
beaver weighing in at 75 pounds, smallest at 35 pounds,
and the average about 45 pounds), 10 coyotes, 4 red fox, 3
muskrats, 38 raccoon, 1 mink. Fur Prices are WAY down,
and he sold those wonderful beaver for $8 apeice from the
raw fur buyer.

coyotes pay $3 a piece for raw furs. Raccoons $.50 a piece.
Hardly worth doing, but he's got to do SOMETHING or sitting
around the house with me would drive him stir crazy. <grin
I love seeing what he brings home, and even helping him (or
even actually running) his trap line with/for him.

Now when TrapperKD, Webmaster of wild-about-trapping. com
posts them, you can see somewhat the difference between ohio
Red Fox and German Reds. Also posted a Coyote too, i think
Going to see if i can find some of the beaver now.

Whoops, Danny And Taya run away from unsecured yard and
imbecile owner. Will they survive life out in the wilderness
our amongst the coyote traps? Will they get mistaken for
coyotes and sold to the highest bidder at the fur auction?
Or will they live again to do a help dummy diddy do a
demonstration on safe and responsible pet ownership in the
kitchen with the vet's office kitten?

Stay tuned, fans...

Date: 1999/04/14

I realize this has absolutely nothing to do with Disney.
Parks, but since those of us on this newsgroup are from
all over the country, I thought you would understand this
one time intrusion. We are desperate to find these
dogs.... Please, if you have any information, contact the
e-mail address at the bottom of the note. Thank you for
your understanding.........

Karyl Parks' dog Danny - Ch. Alpha's Decorum (I think that
is his correct registered name) is missing . For those
that have never met Danny - he is very special. Both
trained for Search and Rescue as well as service dog
trained, CDX, etc. He does all the things that service
dogs do from opening doors, turning on lights, getting
clothes and shoes. He is a marvel. He is nine years old
but does not show his age - he is about 60 pounds 22 1/2
inches, dark face. By tomorrow I will have a picture
available.

Monday night he was put out to do his business along with
Taya another elkie. At 10:00pm - both he and Taya were
gone from Karyl's yard. She heard nothing and the gate
was open but opened inward. Danny was neutered in the last
year so is not of any use to anyone for breeding.

Karyl has handed out over 1,200 flyers today - gone to the
schools where Danny was well known - he did demonstrations,
talked to neighbors

and combed the neighborhood. She lives in farm country
outside Greenville, Ohio.

Danny is a tall elkie - very handsome - microchipped. I
am looking for a picture I took when he visited here two
years ago. He was not wearing a collar when lost. Karyl
will talk to postal workers, garbage truck drivers, county
road crews, meter readers, tomorrow - has already contacted
law enforcement and shelters. Please for anyone in the area
or who can cross post this to other lists do it. This dog
is Karyl's life and she can not imagine life without him.

Taya - also an elkhound her parents dog - spayed female five
years old. Small size - I think only about 18 inches. They
could be together or separate - Taya did have a collar on.
Do not know if she is microchipped.

Karyl's email is kparks@bright.net

Thank you for your understanding...... we're posting this to
every list we are involved with and pray for their safe
return.

Kathy

Will they survive life out in the wilderness our amongst the coyote traps? Will they get mistaken for coyotes and sold to the highest bidder at the fur auction? Or will they live again to do a help dummy diddy do a demonstration on safe and responsible pet ownership in the kitchen with the vet's office kitten? Stay tuned, fans... From: Kathy Levee (klevee@zoo.uvm.edu) Subject: Off Topic --MISSING DOGS Date: 1999/04/14 I realize this has absolutely nothing to do with Disney. Parks, but since those of us on this newsgroup are from all over the country, I thought you would understand this one time intrusion. We are desperate to find these dogs.... Please, if you have any information, contact the e-mail address at the bottom of the note. Thank you for your understanding......... Karyl Parks' dog Danny - Ch. Alpha's Decorum (I think that is his correct registered name) is missing . For those that have never met Danny - he is very special. Both trained for Search and Rescue as well as service dog trained, CDX, etc. He does all the things that service dogs do from opening doors, turning on lights, getting clothes and shoes. He is a marvel. He is nine years old but does not show his age - he is about 60 pounds 22 1/2 inches, dark face. By tomorrow I will have a picture available. Monday night he was put out to do his business along with Taya another elkie. At 10:00pm - both he and Taya were gone from Karyl's yard. She heard nothing and the gate was open but opened inward. Danny was neutered in the last year so is not of any use to anyone for breeding. Karyl has handed out over 1,200 flyers today - gone to the schools where Danny was well known - he did demonstrations, talked to neighbors and combed the neighborhood. She lives in farm country outside Greenville, Ohio. Danny is a tall elkie - very handsome - microchipped. I am looking for a picture I took when he visited here two years ago. He was not wearing a collar when lost. Karyl will talk to postal workers, garbage truck drivers, county road crews, meter readers, tomorrow - has already contacted law enforcement and shelters. Please for anyone in the area or who can cross post this to other lists do it. This dog is Karyl's life and she can not imagine life without him. Taya - also an elkhound her parents dog - spayed female five years old. Small size - I think only about 18 inches. They could be together or separate - Taya did have a collar on. Do not know if she is microchipped. Karyl's email is kparks@bright.net Thank you for your understanding...... we're posting this to every list we are involved with and pray for their safe return.
