You have already got lots of comme...Hi Sandie dear,<br />You have already got lots of comments after this post.<br />I am sad to hear what is going on with beautiful eagles and other birds getting killed by a plane's turbines.<br />About your dog, I am not an expert, since I only own cats in my life. I guess, you should talk to the Veterinarian, and see what he/she says about that sort of behaviour. I know dog's thinking is the fact that they belong to a pack, and you are the leader of the pack. Therefore, you should train your dog that he is the last one of the pack, and he should obey his leader that is you. Teach and train your dog how to behave with other people, and ask the Veterinarian for some clues... Let us know the updates, please. Thank you, Sandie for sharing your world with us!! I am always kind and loving with animals, but I am careful too.<br />God bless you, sweetheart!!<br />Blessings,<br />Starry.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-91939588649320635282012-05-30T21:39:51.986-04:002012-05-30T21:39:51.986-04:00Maybe the pooch needs to go to obedience school......Maybe the pooch needs to go to obedience school...or a doggie psychologist?<br /><br />Years ago, when skyscrapers were a new phenomenon (before I was born), birds were slamming into them.

You may be surprised what a little training each day will accomplish. <br /><br />As far as the wind farms and birds, I'd be interested in the source of the information you posted.

Cesar would say: -...Oh...birds, I am for the birds!<br />Cesar would say: - " the dog needs to take long walks! do you take him do a walk every day? A long walk? he needs to get tired.There is frustration. You've got to show him that you are the "boss". When he barks you have to approach/get nearer and diminish his space. The message is - you are not the owner of this place so you get back to your corner!" - I think Cesar would say this. I do not know if it works.

We do not let anyone touch her (usually), unless we have their hand in ours as they touch her.

My hubs works for a large power company and from reading some of their publications they spend millions on raptor protection on both the wind turbines and lines. Hopefully a solution can be found to offer better protection. <br /><br />Sorry to hear your dog gets so upset by strangers. Maybe put him in another room when your guests arrive. When things are quite put him on a leash and bring him into the room where they are sitting. Then you sit down and all of you talk and let him adjust. Gradually let him sniff their hand and get used to their scent. As long as things are very calm and quiet the introductions should go well. Kids and dogs are both energetic and that does not make for a good introduction. <br /><br />Yep, looks like a squirrel to me!

I've learned my dog is a great watch dog and that her breed is the best at not shedding. So my suggestion is to read up on her breed. The eagle getting killed in the wind turbines is horrible! I LOVE EAGLES -- I RESPECT THEM DEARLY. that made me really sad to hear, but I also think those wind turbines are awesome. We traveled to Texas a few years back on a road trip and I loved seeing them across the horizon, thousands of them. hmmmm, I think I love eagles more than turbines.renae https://www.blogger.com/profile/03691374381873932228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-22007543967062853282012-05-29T20:54:57.644-04:002012-05-29T20:54:57.644-04:00That is awful about the wind turbines killing bird...That is awful about the wind turbines killing birds...the thought never crossed my mind that they could be harmful in any way. :( As for little Disco he may need to go to dog obedience class.

Let us know and good luck.<br /><br />As for doggie, gosh, that's a tough one. I know one of my sisters has a dog that bit me on the ankle when I was leaving their house. From that moment on, I was petrified to go there and more petrified to leave! That dog has bitten other people, too. My sister adores the dog, though, and won't let him go. I think he must have been abused somewhere in his life, to act that way. Don't know about Disco, though, but I'd be very VERY afraid of the biting. Take care and good luck.

I presume that other wildlife is also hurt by them, one way or another. Why is there a NEED for wind turbines? Forgive my ignorance, but I know nothing about them. Mankind thinks up seemingly great ideas, but by the time they realize it wasn't such a good idea the damage is done. Then it's up to the generations that follow to repair the damage.<br /><br />As a wildlife warrior and one who cares deeply for nature I think I'd be protesting.<br /><br />Ah, the squirrel is cute. Did you release him/her back into the wild?<br /><br />We often get possums. Guess they're looking for a warm, dry place to sleep and eat too :)<br /><br />Love to you!Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415168156854751135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-29148671066026044172012-05-29T18:49:00.448-04:002012-05-29T18:49:00.448-04:00I can't imagine that that many birds die from ...I can't imagine that that many birds die from the windmills.

Perhaps if they feed the dog it will help things.<br /><br />We had a trap like that to catch the racoons that were getting into our attic. They would pull a shingle off to make a hole to crawl in. The squirrels have made or found a hole someplace.<br /><br />Lastly, perhaps we need regulations on the turbines so that they have to be 'screened in' from the birds. That wouldn't be too hard to do, each of the turbines could be in its own bird proof cage.<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-76035564373523629582012-05-29T15:46:36.350-04:002012-05-29T15:46:36.350-04:00Almost sounds like fear biting.

If they can't see well, they get fearful and agressive trying to scare away what they perceive as threats. <br />Also, he could have some pain problems which would cause the same reaction. Mighty's arthritis makes him very cranky if he doesn't get his pain pills each day. <br />I'd have him vet checked.
