AGILITY THIS MONTH
By Karen de wit
DAWGS Container project.
DAWG (Dog Agility Wellington Group) has two containers storing all their equipment at Porirua Intermediate. Rather than just leave them plain and unimpressive DAWGsters, headed by Marian Holman decided to make them stand
out. They are really cool.
The Process involved firstly removing the rust by sanding and wire brushing. Then a number of layers were painted on by keen Dawgsters:
4 | P a g e
Rust Gobler which stops future rust developing, a layer of Rust Kill, a paint primer, then the DAWG colour of Curious Blue paint colour, then the artists murals
The Artists
Rachel Benefield - Artist who did a mural at Poriua school, which is how Maz knew about it.- Employed by PCC to work with local school kids to do murals, mostly in schools
Monique Dillon - Works for Animal Control . Local artist who does murals around Porirua.
The murals are also protected from netherwells. Porirua City Council’s, Richard Witheford-Smith (Graffiti Management Coordinator) looks after the Adopt-A-Spot anti graffiti for Porirua. He agreed that DAWG’s containers fell under the critieria for Adopt-a-Spot, and agreed to help fund and manage the painting of the murals. Paint was all supplied by Resene Porirua.
5 | P a g e
Timeframes. Started pre work in September 2018, during weekends when weather and shows would allow. In October Rachel started on Buz’s container and finished before the term finished up in December. Monique started in December and finished up in January 2019.
Buz’s Container (Rachel) Although Rachel designed the mural, up to 16 Titahi Bay Intermediate School were heavily involved in the designing and painting of the mural on Buz’s container. Every time you look at it there is something new you havent seen before – its very creative!
Other Container (Monique) She wanted the design to be seen from a distance so anyone would know our club has something to do with dogs, then as you get closer you get to see the design of Buz’s container. Monique still has to attach our DAWG logo (painted onto Ply) to the end of the container so DAWG is visible.
They compliment each other so well!
DAWG have had so many positive comments on how great they look.

Dry Drowning in Dogs
What You Should Know
JULY 16, 2018 By HEATHER
(https://vettedpetcare.com/vetted-blog/dry-drowning-in-dogs/)
Drowning occurs when a person or animal is completely submerged in water. The lungs can’t any oxygen and in turn, breathing functions stop. But have you ever heard of “Dry Drowning?” Dry drowning is different. It happens when water is aspirated into the lungs or other parts of the airway. If the water doesn’t make it to the lungs, the vocal cords can begin to spasm making breathing difficult. If water does make its way to the lungs, serious complications and even death can occur. The latter condition is actually called “secondary drowning” but it’s usually referred to as dry drowning, too. What makes dry drowning so scary is that it can “happen” hours after exposure to water. It’s something that affects all animals with exposure to water, from humans to dogs. Dry Drowning Risks for Dogs How does dry drowning happen? It can be brought on by a dramatic water event…or not. A dog whose head goes under the bathwater for just a moment is just as susceptible as a dog who actively jumps into
22 | P a g e
the pool. In a lot of cases, dry drowning doesn’t look like much at all as the condition starts to take shape. Remember that dry drowning is caused by swallowing water. That’s it! Consider how large your dog’s mouth is and imagine what it feels like when you go underwater unprepared. For some, the instinct to gasp for air is unavoidable – if your dog has that same instinct, she could potentially swallow a great deal of water in one big gulp. How to Spot Dry Drowning in Dogs If water has gotten into your dog’s lungs – this is known as pulmonary edema – it could take hours or in some cases even days for signs to show. A few of the symptoms to watch out for if you suspect your dog may have swallowed a lot of water include:
Coughing or hacking Signs of chest pain Difficulty breathing or wheezing Extreme lethargy (brought on by a lack of oxygen to the brain)
If you suspect your dog might be suffering from dry drowning or secondary drowning, take her to an emergency vet clinic immediately. Even if your pet doesn’t seem to be in duress, it’s good to have her looked at by a qualified veterinarian just to be sure. Also note that dry drowning can happen as a result of swallowing sand, too. A dog who respirates tons of sand can suffer the same ill effects of secondary water drowning and should also be evaluated by a vet. Protect Your Pet from Dry Drowning The best thing you can do to protect your dog from dry drowning is to monitor her closely around water at all times. Even if she’s a prolific swimmer – in fact, especially if she’s a prolific swimmer! – you want to keep an eye on her so you can note when a swallowing episode might have occured. It only takes one dunk to dry drown.
23 | P a g e
If your dog is around water frequently, invest in a fitted life jacket to ensure her head stays above water as much as possible. Even though most dogs can doggie paddle, their arms get tired too! Last but not least, always take “near” drownings seriously. Although dogs have a natural swim instinct, if you ever have to “rescue” your pet from the water you should watch her closely for several days afterwards to look for signs of secondary drowning How long should a dog be allowed to swim for? The average dog can only swim 5 or 10 minutes during their first visit. It is essential that rest periods be taken at intervals throughout your swim time to allow your dogto rest and catch their breath. Dogs new to the sport can often only swim 10 minutes until their stamina level is reached. Is pool water safe for dogs? Occasional drinks from a well-maintained pool are not harmful to most pets. ...Dogs with heart disease, kidney disease, and those eating salt-restricted diets shouldn't drink from saltwater pools, though. Even though chlorine is safe at normal levels, the pool should never be your pets' only source of water.
