Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat (AS) menandatangani nota kesepahaman bersama (MoU) dalam bidang eksplorasi dan penelitian laut di wilayah Nusantara. Kemitraan strategis dalam bidang bahari ini bertujuan memaksimalkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di bidang perikanan, kelautan, dan kekayaan taman laut Indonesia.

"Ini kerja sama antara dua bangsa besar di tepian Samudra Pasifik untuk meneliti lebih Jauh kekayaan laut demi kesejahteraan rakyat," kata Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kesejahte-raan Rakyat, Agung Laksono, usai menyaksikan penandatanganan kerja sama eksplorasi laut yang pertama antara AS dan Indonesia di pelabuhan nelayan komersial, Muara Baru. Jakarta Utara. Rabu (26/5).

Dalam penandatanganan Itu, hadir pula Menteri Perdagangan AS Gary Locke, Menteri Riset dan Teknologi Suharaa Suryapranata, dan Kepala Badan Riset Kelautan dan Perikanan GeUwynn Jusuf. Menko Kesra menjelaskan, kemitraan kedua negara meliputi pengelolaan perikanan berkelanjutan, peles-tarian lingkungan laut, dan kerentanan terumbu karang, serta pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang laut. "Ini untuk pertama kalinya bagi AS dan Indonesia mengadakan ekspedisi yang didedikasikan untuk eksplorasi laut, termasuk upaya bersama mencegah penangkapan ikan secara ilegal dan tidak memiliki regulasi," katanya menjelaskan.

Hot dog: Keep your dog safe in the heat!

Posted: 27 May 2010 10:29 AM PDT

Summer heat can cause health problems, such as heatstroke, for dogs.

I tend to be a bit of a night owl, which means my day usually gets started a little later than most. In the summer that’s not so good. This morning, for example, I woke up around 7am to let the dogs out, noted how cool it was, and went back to bed. Since it was cool I thought I’d have time to snooze a bit before it heated up and that I’d take the dogs for a walk around 9. For those of you who are thinking it, yes, I’ve lived in Texas long enough to know it can heat way up between 7am and 9am. I’m going to blame my thinking it on the fact that I was half asleep though.

The thing is, the hot weather brings some challenges for dogs. People can do things to help themselves when it’s hot, but dogs . . . not so much. They rely on us to make sure they have enough water, don’t overwork themselves in the heat, and to make sure they don’t get into dangerous heat related situations. And living in a place like Texas, where it gets hotter than should be allowed, means dog (and cat) owners need to be extra mindful of their pets.

Keeping pets safe in the heat is one of many topics I talk about in the pet first aid classes I teach. Heat can cause life-threatening situations, but the good news is that they can be avoided pretty easily. Here are some of the ways you can help your pets stay safer during the heat:

  • Walk your dogs early in the morning (don’t assume it’ll stay cool like I did this morning!). Not only is the air cooler, but the sidewalks and streets will be too. Hot cement can be very painful on your dogs’ feet – and blacktop can be even worse.
  • Make sure your pets have plenty of water at all times – and make sure water bowls cannot be tipped over easily. If your dog must stay outside for whatever reason, install a auto water dispenser like the Lixit Tap Adapter or WaterDog® Automatic Outdoor Pet Drinking Fountain. Also, make sure any dogs that stay outside have a way to get out of the sun.
  • If you take your dog walking, hiking, or running, don’t overwork him as this can cause heatstroke. If your dog shows signs of heat stroke get into air conditioning as soon as possible. Some of the signs include uncontrollable panting, increased salivation, foaming at the mouth, vomiting, or confusion. If your dog does overheat, put cool (not cold) water on him to try to cool him down, and then get him to your veterinarian. Keep in mind that older dogs, dogs with health problems, and short-nosed breeds like boxers and bulldogs are prone to heatstroke.
  • Never leave your dog in a parked car unattended. If you wouldn’t sit in a car without air conditioning, don’t make your dog do it either. Leaving the windows open a little isn’t enough, and don’t be fooled into thinking you can leave the a/c running while you go run errands. If it goes off, your dog can die. It only takes a few minutes for the inside of the car to heat up to 100 or more. So, just don’t leave your dog in a car alone. End of story.

OK, so back to the morning dog walking . . . Now that we’re obviously into the summer heat, I’m going to do my best to drag myself out of bed earlier in the morning and get the dogs out for a walk. It’s good for them and it’s good for me. It just means I need to quit burning the midnight oil so much – something I’m so darn good at! Who else wants to commit to an early morning dog walk?

Oh, and if you haven’t already, come see us on Facebook.

New website for pet owners to report pet food issues

Posted: 24 May 2010 08:05 PM PDT

The Safety Reporting Portal, run by the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health was launched today. The website allows pet owners to report problems with pet food and for drug companies to report problems related to pet medications.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health said the Web site will provide a way of reporting pre- and post-market safety data to the federal government. Currently, the Web site can be used to report safety problems related to foods, including animal feed, and animal drugs, as well as adverse events occurring on human gene transfer trials. Consumers can also use the site to report problems with pet foods and pet treats.

Officials said the new site, called the Safety Reporting Portal, provides greater and easier access to online reporting.

“The portal will be a key detection tool in improving the country’s nationwide surveillance system and will strengthen our ability to protect the nation’s health,” said FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.

Officials said the Web site will eventually provide a common electronic reporting system that will allow an individual to file a single report to multiple agencies that might have an interest in an event.

See Food, drug safety reporting site opened, from the UPI.

You can also report problems with human food on the Safety Reporting Portal.

In Loving Memory for Jacky from Malaysia 05/09-2001 – 11/04-2010

Posted: 24 May 2010 08:06 AM PDT

Golden Retriever is my childhood dream to get a dog. I started my first job after. Jacky is a sharing pocket money with my sister and I bought him home from the pet store. He was born in 2001, September 5, he and my birthday on September 4 a difference of 1 day, and this is I love and feel how wonderful and meaningful and to celebrate birthday. I still remember when he was 7 weeks time, his chubby appearance, large eyes, simple-minded, like, really Jiaoren put it down, wait for them to immediately take him home. He is the first dog to accompany me through joys and sorrows of life have also changed my life. Our margin on from the beginning. When he came to my house on day 1, was busy taking care of his daily diet, training, toilet and so on. One went off work to go home immediately, I just want to play with him, what is not reasonable, can not wait to go to work every day with him, play. Particularly good mood. Increase the number of home atmosphere.
When he was 6 months old, I started to take him to training classes learn basic obedience training. And he is very brisk, agile, lively and intelligent, to learn. I still remember, when he graduated obedience Course, also is a big generous in around the age of, MKA host dog obedience competition, I will take part in a competition. Also live together with luck everyone hope will be temporary, and we won the national first four! This is our first game Yeah, it really makes me incredibly Yeah! Then every game, he never let me down, always among the best in the former three, and won many awards. His reputation is also well known. As a master of me, proud and glorious.
Human and dog, along really a very profound knowledge. To give love and time, care, patience, tolerance, training, and many more bits and pieces. This dog want to know what? They want what? What they need?

Original monotonous life, since Jacky’s join my social circle; my life from infected colorful colors especially in the dog sector. I have to admit that Jacky’s help to strengthen my self-confidence and career. No Jacky’s, not Steven Tan in the dog world!!
Before I go to Taiwan (11Arp2010), I have promised to him, so he retired and plan to take him to Kelantan in August vacation, but did not last long in, Jacky’s … he was sick he was tired .. down, he only accompanied me for 10 years, left me! This fight really makes me unacceptable. Maybe he is really tired! Take a long, long time to rest stop! No longer with us anymore!

World Turtle Day reminds people to protect turtles and tortoises

Posted: 23 May 2010 12:49 PM PDT

World Turtle Day, May 23, 2010

Today is World Turtle Day.

World Turtle Day was established in 2000 as a way to let celebrate one of the oldest creatures on earth.

The American Tortoise Rescue points out that experts predict turtles and tortoises could be gone within 50 years, which means we need to do all we can to help them. They offer these tips to help save these animals:

  • Never buy a turtle or tortoise from a pet shop as it increases demand from the wild.
  • Never remove turtles or tortoises from the wild unless they are sick or injured.
  • If a tortoise is crossing a busy street, pick it up and send it in the same direction it was going – if you try to make it go back, it will turn right around again.
  • Write letters to legislators asking them to keep sensitive habitat preserved or closed to off road vehicles, and to prevent off shore drilling that can lead to more endangered sea turtle deaths.
  • Report cruelty or illegal sales of turtles and tortoises to your local animal control shelter.
  • Report the sale of any turtle or tortoise of any kind less than four inches.  This is illegal everywhere in the U.S.

As if turtles and tortoises don’t have enough to deal with from humans, the recent BP oil spill hasn’t helped them or other wildlife. It appears that turtles, tortoises, and others are dying as a result of their habitat being polluted by the oil.

At least 150 sea turtles have washed up dead or dying along the U.S. Gulf Coast since the giant oil spill off Louisiana, a higher number than normal for this time of year, a leading wildlife expert said on Monday.

[...]

This is a time of year when dead or debilitated turtles would normally begin to show up with greater frequency, but the 156 found since April 30 along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida “are in higher numbers than you would expect,” Ziccardi said.

None of the animals had obvious signs of oil contamination. But, because of their proximity to the spill, they are being treated as possible victims of the crude oil that has been gushing from the ruptured wellhead since April 20, he said.

See the rest of the story from Reuters: Turtle deaths running high since oil spill: expert

The box turtle above wandered into my yard last week. I don’t know much at all about turtles, and wasn’t sure what to do with her. Thankfully, with advice from Jeff over at at Kingsnake.com, I relocated her to a nearby wooded area. That’s probably where she came from, although I have no idea how she found her way to my yard.

About
LEONBERGER Breed
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : At the end of the thirties, beginning of the forties of the 19th century, Heinrich Essig, town Councillor in Leonberg near Stuttgart, crossed a black and white Newfoundland bitch with a so-called "Barry" male from the monastery hospice Grand St.Bernhard. Later a Pyrenean Mountain Dog was added. This resulted in very large dogs with predominantly long, white coats. Essig's aim was for a lion-like dog. The lion is the heraldic animal of the city of Leonberg.
The first dogs really called "Leonbergers" were born in 1846. They combined the excellent qualities of the breeds from which they stemmed.
Only a short time later, many of these dogs were sold as status symbols from Leonberg all over the world. At the end of the 19th century, the Leonberger was kept in Baden-Württemberg as the preferred farm dog. His watch and draft abilities were much praised.
In both World Wars and the needy post war times, the numbers of breeding stock reduced dramatically. Today the Leonberger is an excellent family dog which fulfills all the demands of modern life.
