Happy Women's Day

But because this date was chosen to honor mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, friends?

The time is right to remember the story... On this day, in the year 1857, the textile workers of a factory in New York went on strike, occupying the factory, to demand the reduction of time of more than 16 hours per day for 10 hours. These workers, in their 16 hours, earned less than a third of the salary of men, which were sealed at the factory, however, declared himself a fire, and about 130 women burned to death. In 1910, an international women's conference held in Denmark, it was decided to honor these women, celebrate March 8 as "International Women's Day." Since then the movement for the emancipation of women has taken shape, both in Portugal and the rest of the world.

The intention with the celebration of this day?

It is intended to draw attention to the role and dignity of women and lead to an awareness of the value of the person understand their role in society, to challenge and review biases and limitations that have been imposed on women.

Intelligence of Dogs

Psychologist Howaed Gardner, Harvard University, considers intelligence as a collection of primary mental abilities, each a separate dimension of multiple intelligence.  

Following the reasoning of Gardner to the canine world, it is also possible to determine various aspects of dog intelligence.

To the psychologist Stnaley Coren, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia, trainer and expert on dog behavior, dogs instinctively demonstrate multiple intelligences in various situations such as: 

Spatial intelligence: 

The dog understands the organization of the world around him. Know where your guide, the cookie jar and their beds are typical demosntrações. 

Intelligence coordination: 

The dog is able to move and coordinate their movements with skill, as in sports where the animal must jump height and width, balance on a seesaw, participate in dance competitions with choreography and all!

Intrapersonal intelligence: 

The dog knows itself, its capabilities and limitations. A dog that refuses to jump a fence that is too high demonstrates knowledge of their capabilities. 

Interpersonal intelligence: 

The dog is recognized as a social creature. It is evident in dogs that interact with others and take a leading role or other in the pack, as well as dogs that try to communicate with their owners. 

Musical intelligence: 

The dog is capable of recognizing musical factors, such as harmony and tone. The vocalization of sensations, as uivados, would be a form of manifestation of this type of intelligence that has more to do with the pack ummembro saying "I'm here" or responding to a estímlulo propeiamente than a "dog singer."  

Logical intelligence: 

Dogs are able to solve problems and implement rational strategies when faced with new situations. When you put two pieces of meat on the floor, regardless of their size, the dog first abacanhará that is closer - he runs less risk of losing it. If both are the same distance, he will take the greatest.  

Linguistic intelligence: 

Dogs are able to communicate, since they are social animals. In nature, it is possible to see wild dogs and wolves to hunt to organize, administer social positions and division of tasks, which suggests a complex communication system. In addition, dogs asssociadas are able to understand whether or not the command. Since ancient times, the connection between man and dog occurred because the dogs are acting for us, from physics to help support psiclógico. some of the work of the guard dogs are property and people, hunting, shepherd, searching for objects, persons or substances, rescue, aid to disabled and therapy with elderly, sick and mentally disabled. Some of them (such as hunting and scent) reflect the natural instinct of dogs. Others, such as guiding visually impaired, requires intense training.

Bipedal dog - Faith

A two-legged dog who has learned to walk upright has been made an honorary sergeant in the U.S. army for inspiring disabled war veterans. 

Faith, an eight-year old labrador-chow cross is a favourite at army bases and hospitals, where she 'marches' around on her hind legs, dressed in a military jacket.

Her owner Jude Stringfellow, from Oklahoma City, is now trying to bring the remarkable canine to Britain to meet troops wounded in Afghanistan.

'Faith seems to inspire these young men. It's very emotional watching them respond to her,' Ms Stringfellow said.

'She shows what can be achieved against the odd. I'd love her to bring a smile to the lips of British soldiers.'

The dog was born with one front leg missing and the other, which was severely deformed, had to be amputated.

Her mother rejected it but Ms Stringfellow's son Reuben, 18, found the tiny animal and brought it up.

He and his mother had to carry the puppy for the first few months of her life, but eventually helped her learn to walk by using peanut butter on a spoon as a lure.

The little dog now moves quickly, and with confidence, and has even become a minor celebrity, appearing regularly on U.S. talk shows.

Ms Stringfellow, who runs a website devoted to her dog, said she receives hundreds of emails and letters each day.

Her decision to take Faith to veterans' hospitals was inspired by her son's service in Iraq.

'She just walks around barking and laughing and excited to see them all,' she said.

'There is a lot of crying, pointing and surprise. From those who have lost friends or limbs, there can be silence. Some will shake my hand and thank me, some will pat her on the head. There is a lot of quiet, heartfelt, really deep emotion.'

Meet Lu Lu, the ultimate in diva dogs. While most pampered pooches are happy to being carried around in a hand bag Hollywood-style, Lu Lu prefers to carry her own.  Forget the catwalk - it is all about the dog-walk. Lu Lu walks around on her hind legs, just like a human.

The one-year-old pup has taken to using just her two legs to walk, leaving her other two free to carry a handbag.
The miniature pinscher has won the hearts of locals in Zhumadian, in the Henan Province where she can often be seen walking upright.

Plush Pinscher

 

























Today I leave's suggestion: make a plush pinscher, following the template below : 

DON'T ABANDON YOUR ANIMALS

Ears and Tail - Cut or not?

The docking of tails and ears of the dogs was practiced even before the races were organized in clubs and have an official standard. The reasons for performing these amputations were: minimizing injuries and injuries to animals used in hunting, because injuries in this location can cause heavy bleeding. 

Today, cutting the tail and ears have aesthetic reasons only, and is not connected to the functionality of the dog. Many countries have now abolished the practice of surgery with the intention merely aesthetic.

 

Tail 

The tail is an extension of the spine and comprises several vertebrae small. Presents several nerve endings, so it is a very sensitive body part of the animal. The pattern for cutting the tail depends on the breed and can be very short or partially amputated.

What is the dog's tail? 

It is an important means of communication between animals and help with balance. Through the position of the tail, dogs demonstrate their intentions: Tail down can mean submission or fear. Tail wagging the high side to side means joy, but may have a sense of aggression or dominance if the movement is only slight. Through the tail, the dog can express themselves.  

Caudotomia 

The caudotomia, many years ago, is now banned in Europe. Considered surgery cruel to animals, there are even countries even prohibit the entry of dogs with amputated tails in its territory.The caudotomia is made in about three days of age of the dog. Although the pattern of many breeds recommend cutting, such as the Miniature Pinscher, it is not mandatory, and a dog with tail intact Tues pedigree and participate in exhibitions. 

The resolution says:

"Are forbidden or considered unnecessary surgeries that might impede the ability to express natural behavior of the species, being allowed only surgeries that meet the clinical indications." 

Surgery to cut the tail was discouraged but not prohibited.Well, it is necessary to analyze the real need is to amputate a body part of an animal. 

The aesthetic motive is questionable.However, there are cases where there is need for amputation, for example, when the animal repeatedly bites the tip of the tail, often hurts the end to hit objects, causing significant bleeding, tumors, etc.

We must always consider the welfare of the animal before aesthetics, and the law that dogs must be able to express themselves and communicate with us and of course their own kind.
