BANISHING BEGGING You have made a wonderful meal and you have invited over friends. You gather around the table and soak in the sights and smells of the prepared meal and look forward to spending your time together. Then you realize that you are not the only one who appreciates the event. Your dog has arrived and is staring, pawing, and whining in a full theatrical production hoping to be paid in food. Begging is not a reality that most dog owners enjoy, and is appreciated by fewer guests. What if your dog does not beg for food, but instead begs for your attention? Why do dogs beg at all? How do you make them stop? Dogs beg because they are either looking for food, rank, or attention. Dogs who beg for food generally get what they want. To resolve this type of beggar you need to be sure that your dog never receives food during human food times. This means that you can never reward your dog with a treat at the table or during food preparation. Put the scraps off to the side and give it to your dog during its regular feeding times, in their bowl, if you must, but never give it to them during human food events. Never means never. Dogs are persistent and even a 1% chance will be worth pursuing. You will lose ground if anyone feeds the dog during their begging periods. In the dog world, the order in which the animals eat is an indication of their rank within the pack. Therefore, sometimes begging is a challenge for position within the family. The most powerful dogs eat first and the lowest ranking dog eats last. When a dog gets rewarded for begging, they eat at the same time, or before someone else, and therefore move up the leadership ladder. The rightful position of a canine companion is below all of the family members. Make sure that your dog does not eat during or before anyone in the household. Feed the dog in its own bowl, away from the dinner table, after the meal to maintain the proper balance in your family's hierarchy. Dogs who beg for attention exhibit the same whining, crying, and pawing behaviors, but, instead of food, pursue interaction. In order to reverse these behaviors, you need to avoid giving your dog attention during these times. Whenever they begin to act out, ignore them completely. No eye contact, no verbal reactions, no touching. If you respond during their tantrum, the dog will achieve the attention it is desires. Negative attention is still attention. Resume interaction when the dog stops its negative behavior. The dog will realize that it is only positive behavior that receives their desired outcome. Overcome the possible guilt that can come from ignoring the begging by giving your dog some of your quality time when they are doing the right thing, so that they know that they do not need to beg in the first place.

Two Sun Dogs, or sundogs, poked through the clouds to make a spectacular view at sunset.
On Sunday afternoon a Sun Dog appeared to the right of the sun and lasted until about an hour before sunset.
As if not to let sky watchers down, another Sun Dog appeared to the left of the sun and waited until the sun was almost down over the horizon to fade into the evening sky.
Dr. Whitaker at Old Dominion University in Norfolk says, "they're a refraction phenomenon of ice crystals and cirrus clouds thousands of feet up in the atmosphere." When ice crystals high in the atmosphere form, they act as prisms and bend the rays from the sun.
They're different colors, depending on how far away from the sun they are. The Sun Dog seen to the right of the sun glowed of oranges and yellows so it was farther away; whereas the sun dog seen to the left of the sun, above, was closer and so appeared more red.
In Virginia Beach, the weather was unseasonably warm and in the seventies during the day. After sunset, temperatures only fell into the 60's, making it the perfect day to be outside sky-watching at sunset.
