Did you know that the Red Cross offers a canine CPR class?

I have mentioned before that Cindy is trying to secure a job in a Veterinary clinic as part of her vocational education this coming school year. The clinic which she aspires to work at has proven, to past students, to be rough to get into. Cindy has been told that her chances are not as good as she would hope but has insisted on trying. So far it looks pretty good for her as her job shadowing report was the best that her instructor has seen in her many years of teaching, but the battle is not won yet. Before her interview, Cindy's instructor has dropped some suggestions . One of which was a canine CPR class. I didn't know that these were available but they sure are and are well attended I guess. Cindy took her class yesterday and came home with some interesting facts . One is that human ice cream contains a parasite that though not at all harmful to humans destroys canine brain cells. Though my current Cocker Spaniels will not eat ice cream, my previous ones all loved it. All of my friends and family also feed their dogs ice cream on a regular basis . Nobody has ever mentioned that this may not be a good idea. Brewster's and Handles even offer doggy cones or sundaes. Amazing. I plan to ask my vet about this at our next appointment. Until then I think I will try to find time to read the manual and see what else I may be doing to hurt my beloved family members.
