[Pages:6]AUGUST 2016

The next regular meeting, picnic and garage sale #2 is SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 2016 at Chris and Dan Orlikowski's home in Evergreen, 30718 Isenberg Lane, Evergreen, CO. Directions below. Pot luck so please let Chris know what you'll be bringing. Brats and burgers will be the main dish, ice tea to drink, and we're asking that you bring a side dish but let Chris know. Her email is northstarsolutions@ phone 303-670-6838; Cell: 303229-7343.

Because we were so successful with our first garage sale and because we have things left to sell, we decided to have a second garage sale in conjunction with the club picnic meeting at Chris and Dan O's house. More items for the sale ? donations - are needed.

We will start the yard sale at 9:00 but people should try to be here by about 8 to get ready. Chris has 4 tables that we can use. She will also make some signs and put them out the night before and also put everything on Craigslist. Please email Chris and let her know some of the things you'll be bringing so she can put a list on craigslist.

There is fencing so feel free to bring your dogs if you like. She also has an Ex Pen.

Directions: From I-70

Take exit 252 Evergreen Parkway (Route 74) to downtown Evergeen (about 11 miles). There is only one light in town and you will turn Right onto Route 73 towards Conifer.

From 285

If you are coming from C-470 or downtown Denver area, take 285 until you get to Indian Hills exit / Parmalee Gulch Road. Go about 6 miles until you get to the intersection at Highway 74. Turn left towards downtown Evergreen about 3 miles until you come to the only light in town and turn Left onto Route 73 towards Conifer. From Downtown Evergreen

Once you make the turn onto Route 73, go about ? miles to the light at Buffalo Park Road and turn right up the ramp.

Go about ? miles to Hatch Road and turn left.

Hatch Road becomes Cliff Road so don't get too confused by the name changes. You will go 1.8 miles up Hatch/Cliff Road until you get to the intersection of Cliff and Isenberg.

DO NOT TURN RIGHT UP THE DIRT ROAD ! My house is on the corner of Cliff and Isenberg. It's a beige chalet style house with white trim. Go past the intersection and turn right up my driveway. You will pass a row of about 10 mailboxes and there is a carved sign at the bottom of the driveway with my address. If you come to King, you went too far. ________________________________

What Happens When A Dog Reverse Sneezes?

The TBHC garage sale last month brought in $375.75 for the club!! Thanks to all who were there to help ? Susan, Sarahjane, Chris, Mishka and Betty Gene. Basset Hounds Thumper and Buckley and Sarahjane's PBGV girls were there to greet customers. It was fun.

BRAGS:

Carol for Bill and Sue Forrest Angie (Farfelu Heart Of A Miracle O'Brstlecn, HH) earned the first leg toward her Senior Hunting Hound title from the Brace Stake at the Pilgrim Basset Hound Club Hunting Performance Test at Little Rhody in Rhode Island in early June.

Dr. Jerry Klein, Chief Veterinary Officer, AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB June 24, 2016 It is a fairly common respiratory event in dogs, but is rarely seen in cats. We suspect the cause to be irritation or inflammation of the nasal, pharyngeal, or sinus passages (upper airways). It may be a way for the dog to attempt to remove foreign particles such as dust, powder or other irritants or allergens from its upper airways. It is also seen after periods of over-excitement. Reverse sneezing is characterized by sudden rapid and repeated inhalations through the nose, followed by snorting or gagging sounds. It can be alarming to an owner, but is not known to be harmful to dogs with no other underlying condition such as heart disease. Most dogs are completely normal before and after these episodes. In dogs that exhibit reverse sneezing, it is not uncommon for them to have repeat episodes of reverse sneezing throughout their lives.

During a reverse sneeze, the dog will start suddenly stand still, and extend its head and neck. A loud snorting sound is produced. This condition should be differentiated from a tracheal collapse (often seen in toy breeds), which is characterized by a loud "honking" sound. A tracheal collapse is of a more serious nature that a reverse sneeze.

What Should I Do If My Dog Reverse Sneezes?

A common remedy is to briefly hold close the dog's nostrils for a second and lightly massage the throat to calm. Lightly blowing in its face may also help. This should cause the dog to swallow a couple of times, which will usually stop the spasm of the reverse sneeze. Getting the dog in a cool area or outside with fresh air while trying to verbally calm them can also be useful.

Most dogs do not require medication, however some veterinarian recommend antihistamines if the problem is serious, chronic, and allergy related. An evaluation of the environment would also be helpful in determining possible causes of these events. Perfumes, carpet cleaners, etc. are often cited in these dogs' histories.
