Houseproofing 101

Dangerous Foods

Dangerous Plants

Rewarding Positive Behavior
by Kathy Lorentzen
I spend a tremendous amount of my time studying wildlife. I’ve always been fascinated by wildlife of all kinds (okay, I don’t really care much for snakes).

American Eskimo

Recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1913, the American Eskimo is a member of the ancient and wide ranging Spitz family of dogs. White Spitzes were popular in Pomerania and in the coastal regions of Germany. Sailors traded the white dogs throughout Europe. When Queen Charlotte of England acquired several white Spitzes, the dogs became fashionable among British aristocrats. White Spitzes appear in several Gainsborough paintings. Known as the German Spitz in its homeland, the breed was renamed the American Eskimo in 1917.
