We're Thankful!
Where or where did the short and sweet summer go?
Thanksgiving isn't a single day for us, we are grateful on a daily basis.
Happy Tails is grateful for our trailer full of premium dog food and treats.
The dependable 1994 Suburban shows her age, as do we all. Yet, she's carried tons of dog food, logging thousands of miles, over 264,000 to be exact. We are thankful that she continues to perform for us.
Each and every Rottweiler is currently healthy, without any known disorders or injuries, but then our Rotts live into their teens. Tummies are full, happy faces with wagging tails, enjoying their first winter "strawing" in their Igloos and for them to lounge on outside, we are thankful that my straw guy gave me a discount this year, charging less than last year in spite of fuel being considerably higher.
My summer projects included the construction of an eventually-to-be-gorgeous green house in which to grow veggies and herbs that require more continuous days of sun, and frost free days, than we've had in several years. I'm thankful for a special friend who contributed labor and many beautiful fir boards custom sawn on his sawmill. He got me started and if all goes well, there will be early veggie starts next Spring.
Happy Tails is rural and off the beaten track, otherwise how would we be able to enjoy nightly howling of dozens of singing Rotties? We are so blessed and thankful for the constant beauty, surrounded by nature, deer sharing our hay, pastures and water.
Living a rural life drives our creative efforts for fund raising and so we rely on contributions both small and large, we appreciate that each is given from the heart. I'm thankful that I've learned to beg on behalf of the dogs who can endear you with a mere stub of a tail, while I must rely on words and trusting you to know that we always have a continual unspoken need throughout the year. I beg only at the end of the year, and hope that our fall photo helps you remember our daily work.
Our website product sales, GOOGLE, Amazon, GoodSearch checks trickle in from your search clicks, each generating one quarter of a penny each time, but even those add up and directly help support our rescue efforts.
All search clicks from our site, purchases from Amazon or other merchants don't cost you any more and make a significant difference for us, we are grateful for your support.
As consumers we are passionate about voting with our forks and dog dishes, supporting ONLY holistic, premium and superior foods. We reject all synthetics or chemicals, anything which does not appear in nature. We vote with every dollar spent on a product and encourage you to do the same, we and our animals are literally what we eat and what we put on or into our bodies.
These are our current websites, of which I'm the webmaster, designer, builder and work horse. We hope you enjoy the goodies and information, every purchase or search click helps the Rotties.

We're very thankful that Happy Tails was selected as one of just 150 Rescues, nation wide, to receive a Petfinder/Pedigree contribution this summer. That $1,000 came in very handy.
Happy Tails is also a sanctuary, which means those dogs may not have the same opportunity of attracting a forever, indoor home, but for various reasons will likely live here forever. They may be too old, or have too many scars from previous abuse or neglect. Would you believe we still have 3 dogs that we've been unable to physically touch for the 7 years that we've had them?
Cleo came up to me while I was in her run last week. I was delivering and arranging the straw when she approached me, face to face. and for the first time EVER, let me stroke under her chin. These dogs allow touching and take treats when I'm on the outside of the run, but this was a major breakthrough for which I'm very, very grateful. Our Sanctuary dogs aren't listed as adoptable.
Our urgent need, as noted above is for another generator to fall from the sky, or to attract sufficient contributions to rebuild our current 10kw Issuzu diesel generator. We have a smaller Honda gas generator, but it's unable to carry the winter load. Happy Tails is able to give Fair Market Value, for tax deduction purposes, on almost everything, including used generators, cars, farm machinery or real property.
We know our country and it's people are suffering, if you can give it's much appreciated.
Every breath we take, every happy, healthy tail sharing our life, and the countless other blessings make us very thankful, may blessings and abundance grace your life throughout the year.

Color Healing Therapy has shown that colors have energetic vibrations that effect particular parts of the body, whether that be a dog, horse or human body. Chakras themselves are not colored, but ancient therapies indicate that each Chakra is identified and linked to a particular area of the body.
In this new age where we seek alternative ways to treat and cure our ailments, our understanding and awareness of crystals and their healing powers have flourished. In fact, you may have noticed that something magical happens when we use crystals as part of our healing process. This Crystal Therapy course will take you on a journey of self-discovery and self-healing as we explore crystal intelligence and how crystals synchronize with the seven Chakras for
healing and clearing of energy fields.
Crystals and gemstones have been used for thousands of years as powerful healing aids. We may not always be conscious of it, but Crystal Therapy is part of our everyday life. We use the power of crystals in the form of rock salt and season our food using table salt crystals. Many people wear precious, semi-precious stones and different minerals not only as jewelry but for their healing benefits as well.
We humans respond to colors, light refraction and rainbows. Even animals are attracted by light play. Is it any wonder that crystal healing is a powerful, yet gentle therapy that works on all levels of the body, mind and spirit? Crystals have the potential to help all of us in a specialized way. You'll discover how they can draw in and radiate healing energy specific to each symptom of illness. Learn More
The power of the Chakras are more than ancient myth. You can use this collection to tap into Chakra Energy without lengthy study. There are excellent, inexpensive Chakra Clearing courses that will change your perception of cleaning house, mind, body and spirit.
What does this piece reveal about your present circumstances? Odds are that you will pick the one that will call all your other chakra into balance. Think of it as a favorite outfit that you reach for again and again.
Happy Tails uses Chakras, Color Light Therapy, Crystal Therapy, Crystal Essences and almost every other ancient practice for ourselves and our animals. We appreciate our animals reaction to them, because the therapies are non invasive, gentle and amazingly effective.

Seven Energy Centers
"The seven heavens of Judaism, the seven tiers of Kabbalah's Tree of Life, Christianity's seven sacraments,
and the seven Chakras of Hinduism and Buddhism.
They are all ways of describing how we can tap into
higher levels of spiritual awareness to accelerate the flow of energy from Spirit to matter,
from heaven to earth, from within to without." ~ Elizabeth Clare Prophet ~ author
All life is energy.
Ancient wisdom believes that your energy centers are like sending and receiving stations, receiving and directing energy that flows to you, through you and from you. Powerful energy is from Spirit to different levels of our being, nourishing body, mind and soul. Each energy center plays a unique part in the process of your daily living, health, vitality and spiritual growth.
Whether we realize it or not, we all experience energy flowing through our seven Chakras. These centers are the gateway to our Spiritual self. Discord, illness, negative energy or emotions block our potential for complete health, vibrancy, balance and harmony with our true nature, thus limiting our potential.
Blocked energy centers cause us to experience fatigue, health problems, emotional imbalance, anger or frustration while clear flowing energy, like clear flowing sink drains, help us feel energetic, creative, vibrant, healthy and positive. Abundant energy nourishes us while coursing through our minds, our hearts, our bodies and spirit.
When our Chakras are free flowing and balanced we create, we grow, spread kindness, joy and warmth to others. We attract that which we give.
You know how stimulating and wonderful it feels to be around someone who is kind, helpful, loving and giving as compared to spending time with someone who is angry, negative, depressed, argumentative and unloving? Your dog, or other animal, also has Seven Energy Centers.
Do you ever struggle with manifesting what you want in your life? Does it ever feel like you are just not synchronizing with the way your life is meant to be?
Are you spending more time trying to find the path of your destiny then actually progressing on it?
Traveling on an internal journey you will map the route to your goals. Each "stop" en route is a Chakra Center - and you will experience where you have been stopped in the past - AND be given all the tools necessary to breakthrough!
INCLUDED IN THIS COURSE:
Each week you will hear exciting new secrets about Chakra Magnetizing in audio lessons and intriguing daily exercises, as well as creating a deep connection with each energy center through a brief, but powerful, guided audio meditation.
Some of the topics covered:
* Why energy must flow from the ground up to manifest
* Determine if Chakra energy is blocked and clear it
* Techniques for healing old energetic wounds
* How to stop struggling and start receiving
* Which of the Chakra you must use for sustainable results
* Release goals based on obligation and embrace your true path

Learn Intermediate to Advanced Techniques in Dog Training
Learn Intermediate to Advanced Techniques in Dog Training. Advanced Training for Man's Best Friend Going Beyond the Basics of Dog Training.
Going beyond the basics of sit, come and stay, advanced dog training includes understanding your dog in dog terms. By knowing the traits of your dog's breed and taking full advantage of the attributes of that breed, you will create a fulfilling and fun relationship with your furry friend.
Throughout this course, we'll dive into the advanced world of dog training, first by starting off with a bit of dog training history and breed recognition, which will offer insight to breeds' intelligence. You'll learn the common advanced commands like stop, steady, back up, and give, and then determine whether or not you and Fido are ready for Off-Lead Training, which can be fun and tedious at the same time. We'll explore various methods of advanced training including Clicker Training and the theory of the Monks of New Skete.
After covering methodology, you'll discover what it takes for a dog to develop into a working dog like a seeing eye, police, or search and rescue dog. For those with a competitive nature, we'll discuss different levels of competition including conformation (dog shows), tracking training, and agility. And why would you have a dog if you couldn't teach him some fun tricks and games so you can show him off to your friends and family!
Toward the end of the course you'll learn more about some of the advanced tricks like bow, roll over, through the hoop, the four-footed fax, and wiggle, giggle, freeze! Lastly, if you're still yearning for more information about your dog's breed, where to find competitions or more training information, we'll talk about the major dog clubs and organizations that exist today.
Grab a bag of treats, your leash and your pooch, it's time to have some good ol' barkin' fun!
Enroll today! Advanced Dog Training is a self-paced, continuing education, online course with instructor. You have 6 months to complete, with or without certificate.
There isn't a nice, neat flow chart of how to break up a serious dog fight. Too many possible scenarios, much will depend on if there are two people around to handle two dogs, how strong the humans are, whether they've discussed how they will handle the situation and what size your dogs are, if you're in public, at home, on the street etc. A lot of variables.
Some of the most critical things to remember are:
* You will NOT panic, scream, cry, shout, race around inflaming the fight, it's like throwing gas on a fire.
* You will not even dream of putting your hands in the middle of biting dogs.
* You will NOT touch the dog, because they may swing and bite at you, thinking you're another dog attacking them.
* In heated fights they bite first, take no prisoners and ask no questions.
* You will take the few extra seconds to evaluate the scenario, make your best decision, then do it, this isn't the time to hesitate.
* Remember the object is to separate the two dogs, normally 1 is biting and the other is being bitten.
* Remember that the one being bitten will often reverse the roles if only the biting dog is restrained.
* Both animals must be separated and under your control.
* If you have more than 2 dogs in the area, the rules change.
* All dogs in the area could become involved causing serious injury or death to 1 or more dogs.
* In this case, get the non fighting ones out of the area immediately. Then deal with the fighters & biters.
Our experience is based on decades of paws on with hundreds of abused, traumatized, abandoned, neglected and otherwise potentially cranky Rottweilers and we've always managed to resist the temptation to put our hands, or other important body parts, in the way of those powerful jaws and very sharp teeth. Try to break up a dog fight using your hands and it will be miracle that you aren't bitten in the process. We have never failed in being able to break up every fight, have never had a life threatening injury and do everything possible to minimize the potential of fights, but dogs will be dogs, accidents happen and people do make mistakes.
If your fighters are small or medium size dogs, it's pretty easy for each person to place themselves near the rear legs of the dogs. On the count of 1 - 2 - 3, each person grabs those rear legs and begin to wheel barrow, walking the dogs apart in opposite directions. Don't let go of those legs until you can separate the dogs with fences, one in the house or car or hooked to something. If you let go of one dog, he will likely launch himself onto the other one being restrained.
If you're not comfortable enough to grab those hind legs, then loop a leash around them, pull it tight and walk, drag them apart. They will be distracted by what's happening and will release their grip. Grabbing the hind legs of a large dog will put your face dangerously close to his when he swings around to see what's happening. The looped leash around the legs can work. If you're alone, loop the one being bitten and attach him to a fence or tree, then go for the biter, loop, pull them apart and attach him to something. Breaking up a fight by yourself is not fun.
We've used the pulling the rear legs method if a fight erupts while in a car, just pull those rear legs on out and the rest of the dog comes too.
Our favorite method, if there is such a thing, is to reach in behind the dog's neck, palms up reach under the back of their collar, twist so that your palm is now down, lift the collar until the weight is off those front feet. Within a few seconds their air is being cut off and they will release the bite. This also works with the looped leash through the leash handle. It could injure the dog if you're using a choke chain, but then hopefully you aren't and don't even get me started on those lazy-dog-owner-spiked-collars-that-are-a-pathetic-excuse-for-not-training-your-dog.
Now that they're separated, get them away from each other, allow them to cool down before you go probing for injuries. There may be a puncture wound or two which can easily be dealt with. Some dogs will be hyper sensitive and NOT want you touching them for a bit. Unless there is serious injury, give them some spasce.
Two huge Rottweilers on their hind legs, going at each other with a lot of flinging slobber, horrible noises and looking like they're killing each other generally isn't a dog fight. It's more like two kids yelling at each other. They are easily distracted and don't mean business.
May you never need to learn first hand how to break up a serious fight with your dog or any strange dog, but hopefully what has worked for us, will give you a good basis for further research to fit your personal circumstances.
