Crackerdog

Last night I picked up a book that I read about ten years ago. The author is one of my favorites, hes the kind of rare writer that will have you laughing your head off on one page and on the next have a tough guy like me almost in tears.

The authors name: James Herriot. His real name was James Alfred Wright, and he wrote about his experiences as a country vet in England.

Its been a while since Ive read any of his stuff but I was glad I picked up his book and started reading. He writes about cases involving horses,cows, sheep,cats,and of course my favorite stories are about the dogs.

The stories he writes about a Pekingese named Tricki Woo are laugh out loud funny and the best one is when Trickis mistress explains how Tricki goes "crackerdog."

Mr. Herriot was not only a great writer but also a great vet because his advice for Trickis crackerdog episodes where right on the money.

You see, Trickis owner, Mrs. Pumphrey, explained it Mr. Herriot: "Well, he was laying his game, and he does adore it so, when suddenly without warning,he went
crackerdog. He began to run around in circles, barking and yelping in such a strange way. Then he fell over and lay like a little dead thing."

Mr. Herriot explained it as Hysteria, brought on by wrong feeding. His remedy for Tricki Woo was a proper diet.

Mr. Herroit makes such a great point. I have seen a lot of dogs that suffered from behavior problems because of the food that was being fed.

My sheltie Sammi is approaching 18 years old. She is going a deaf and her eyesight isnt as good as it used to be, but she still has a beautiful coat, a great appetite and no health problems.

I started researching dog food about ten years ago and discovered that it makes a huge difference, not only in your dogs health but also in your dogs behavior.

Coming up in next months updates in the Dog Training Inner Circle, I am going to go into this subject in great detail, explaining what I think is the best diet for your dog and why.

P.S. If youve never read any of James Herriots books, log onto Amazon.com, go to the library, used book store, Barnes & Noble, whatever you have to do to get your hands on his books - theyre that good.
