<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Communications Team is looking for students to be involved in their social media campaign. We are looking for CANR students who would participate in a committee where once a week they would come up with various ideas to be used for our college's social media handles. Members would contribute engaging ideas that students would like to see. We also are interested in posting about Ag related events going on around campus. To be considered for this committee, you simply have to commit to sending at least one idea per week during the semester, and participate in the various campaigns.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">So when a friend gave me a copy of the novel, <a href="http://www.edgarsawtelle.com/" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Story of Edgar Sawtelle</a>, last summer, the reference to a famous guide dog named Buddy bred by a kennel in New Jersey caught my attention. While investigating events surrounding the suspicious death of his father, young Edgar discovers letters written in 1934 by his late grandfather to a man in Morristown named Brooks, one of the original breeders of guide dogs for the blind. Author David Wroblewski doesn’t tell us about the far-reaching contribution of Buddy, his role in the development of the pet food industry in general, so here is the “rest of the story.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">Mark Morris was an advanced-standing transfer student who arrived at Cornell University in the fall of 1925 and received his veterinary degree the following spring. Two years later, he established the Raritan Hospital for Animals in Edison, New Jersey, considered at the time to be the second exclusive small animal practice in the country.<a href="https://www.veritasdvmblog.com/mark-l-morris-sr-and-the-birth-of-prescription-pet-food-2/#1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><sup style="border: 0px; font-size: 10px; line-height: 0; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">4</sup></a> Ahead of his time in many of his veterinary concepts and practices, Morris became convinced that proper nutrition was essential to improve the health and well-being of pets.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">During the 1930s, a blind man named Morris Frank was touring the country by train with the country’s first guide dog for the blind, a Swiss-born German Shepherd named Buddy. Morris and Buddy became national advocates for these working dogs, demonstrating the positive impact they could have on the life of a blind person, allowing them to navigate in their homes and communities independently, safely and with dignity.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">When Buddy’s life was threatened by kidney disease, Dr. Morris was consulted and he formulated a diet low in protein and salt that slowed the progression of the renal failure. This diet allowed Buddy and Mr. Frank to continue their travels about the country spreading the good news of dogs as helping companions for the blind.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: #0b5394;">Initially, Buddy’s special food was mailed as needed to Mr. Frank in glass jars, but the jars often broke in transit. Morris and his wife, Louise, then developed a canning procedure for processing of the specialized diet. Meanwhile, everywhere Mr. Frank and Buddy went throughout the country, they were telling people of the miraculous and life-saving food developed by the Morris’ back in New Jersey.<a href="https://www.veritasdvmblog.com/mark-l-morris-sr-and-the-birth-of-prescription-pet-food-2/#1" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><sup style="border: 0px; font-size: 10px; line-height: 0; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">5</sup></a> The Morris’ fame spread and the prescription pet food industry was born.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The New Castle County (NCC) Mounted Patrol Unit owns and
utilizes 10 draft and draft-cross horses for police work. The unit and horses
are based at the Carousel Park Equestrian Center, located approximately 20
minutes north of the University of Delaware. Your internship will be primarily
focused on the daily care, maintenance, training and possibly exercise of newly
acquired Clydesdale horses. Through this internship, you will learn and improve
upon a variety of general horsemanship skills as well as skills that are more
specific to that of the mounted patrol unit. The newly acquired Clydesdale
horses are to be trained for routine patrol as members of the police
department. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your responsibilities will include barn management such
as feeding, grooming, tacking horses, bathing and mucking stalls. There is the possibility
for a candidate with experience in horsemanship and riding to ride horses that have
already completed their police training. This will be determined during the
internship period. The projected work schedule is generally Monday through
Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., however some weekend hours will be required
during special events. You will also have the opportunity to assist with coordinating
and advertising special events (e.g. NCC Mounted Patrol Unit fundraisers), and
to work with other members of Law Enforcement as well as civilian employees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Who: any UD students that are willing to get dirty & learn a lot!<br />What:
learn how to artificially inseminate cows with an experienced teacher
from Precision Diagnostics, a laboratory specializing in bovine
artificial insemination. <br />
Where: in the past, students have stayed with other students, in their
off-campus housing. We will carpool to local dairy farms during the day;
Precision Diagnostics will coordinate the farms.<br />When: spring break 2013...dates will be confirmed if there is enough student interest.<br />
Why: artificial insemination is an extremely important part of the dairy
and beef cattle industries! You will learn hands-on, graduating from
dissected repro tracts to real cows, and the experience looks great on
resumes!<br />
Cost: $300...$150 deposit required before course. <br /><br />*We need a
group of volunteers to coordinate the trip with Precision Diagnostics.
They will be responsible for coordinating student payment, housing,
transportation, and contact with Precision Diagnostics. This might sound
like a lot, but Animal Science Club is here to assist you. Please
contact Nina Lee <a href="mailto:nlee@udel.edu" target="_blank">nlee@udel.edu</a><br />
<b>PLEASE EMAIL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED BY THIS WEEKEND. Sorry for the rush, Precision Diagnostics wants to know ASAP.</b>Nina Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15971496554791511157noreply@blogger.com0
