Let’s be honest: for most content strategists and other people working with online content, SEO is The Worst Part Of The Job.
It’s hugely technical, it’s shrouded in mystery, it seems to be focused on robots instead of people, there are unspoken rules, everything can turn on a dime, and it never, ever seems to end.
But SEO doesn't have to be this way. It’s time to begin a conversation between these two disciplines – they’re far more alike than you might think. And when they work together on behalf of users and customers, amazing things can happen that will drive your organisation forward.
I can’t promise to change your mind about SEO, but you’ll leave this session understanding how to build the essentials into your work in ways that are simple, make sense, and are pain-free. You’ll see what business impacts and wins for the customer SEO and Content Strategy have had at REI, a major retailer in the US. And you’ll have the vocabulary, understanding and tools that you need to talk with your SEO... or to take it for yourself.
Drive traffic, amaze your visitors, and Win the Internet -- with SEO and Content Strategy working together.

10. De-sexing (Neutering)
Neutering is the removal of the female
dog’s reproductive system (ovaries and
uterus) or the testicles for male dogs.
Most dogs are neutered between 5
and 8 months old.
Copyright YourDogNeedsYou.com 2010 - 2014

Roundworm - Many puppies are actually
born with roundworm as the worm passes
from their dam prior to birth or during
whelping.

adult dogs if the dog eats infected poop,
vomit or vermin (such as rodents).
Not generally life threatening.

Hookworms can cause itchy feet,
coughing, wheezing, diarrhoea,
abdominal cramps, nausea and bloody
or black poop. In advanced cases,
anaemia and death can occur. Puppies
are particularly vulnerable and can die if
infected.
Hookworm is difficult to detect.

32. Intestinal Worms
Dogs can get tapeworm by eating an
infected flea whilst self-grooming or
licking their coat.
Tapeworm segments can be found in the
dog’s poop.
The itching may result in your dog
‘scooting’ its bum along the ground.
Tapeworm is not life threatening, however
they can cause discomfort.
