PROBLEM.....THERE REALLY ARE 2 KINDS OF HARNESSESS THAT WE USE... THE ONE WE HAVE COMING FROM CHINA... THE OTHER SIMPLY THE WEB WHICH ALOT OF PEOPLE USE "AROUND TEH HOUSE"-- I HAVE ASKED THE COMPNY THAT SELLS THOSE TO MODIFY THE DESIGN SO THAT THEY ARE EASIER TO GET ON A SERVICE DOG. I ASKED THEM ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO-- AND THEN WE GOT A BUNCH AND I THINK IT WAS ROSE DOGGIE,CP THAT FIXED THEM FOR US WITH AN EXTRA BUCKLE.
BELLA USES THE "DAILY" WEB HARNESS....AND SHE GRABS TEH HARNESS PIECE WHICH RUNS PARALELL TO GEORGE( THE SERVICE DOG)'S BACKBONE.
WHICH BRINGS TO MIND GEORGE W. BUSH'S ANATOMY.. AND HOW IT RELATES TO MR MOON IN CHINA.
I REMEMBER....... WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS OF STARTING THIS SDP, I HAD TO COME UP WITH SOME REALLY SCIENTIFIC STUDIES- SINCE ADI CONSIDERED ME A NUT TO TRY TRAINING GREAT DANES... I KNEW IF I GAVE PEOPLE ENOUGH STATISTICS THAT THEY COULD SKIP OVER (BECAUSE THEY NEVER LIKED MATH ANYWAY....) .. THAT THEY MIGHT JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE- WITHOUT THE NEGATIVVE COMMENTS ABOUT GREAT DANES.
SO I DECIDED TO "STUDY" THE LONG HANDLES THEY WERE PUTTING ON A SHORT DOG ( LABS AND GOLDENS) AND CALLING THEM BALANCE DOGS... THERE WAS NO QUESTION IT WAS A WOBBLY SITUATION AND IN SOME TALK TO A GROUP OF TRAINERS I SUGGESTED THE TORQUE COULD MEAN INJURY TO THE DOG. TORQUE BEING A NEW WORD TO ALOT OF PEOPLE.(BLESS MY HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS CLASS).. I DECIDED THE BEST DOG WOULD ALLOW A PERSON'S KNUCKLES TO BRUSH THE BACK OF THE DOG STANDING NEXT TO THEM.
HERE IS WHERE GEORGE BUSH'S BODY PARTS COMES INTO THE STORY...
I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE AS HE WALKED DOWN THE HALL OF THE WHITE HOUSE, TOWARD TEH CAMERA, THE BACKS OF HIS HANDS FACED FORWARD-- AND I COULD SEE THAT WOULD BE THE HEIGHT OF THE IDEAL DOG FOR A MAN HIS HEIGHT ( GUYS COMING BACK FROM THE WAR)
SOOOOO... WHAT WAS THE DISTANCE F HIS HANDS FROM THE FLOOR....?? I NOTICED THAT HIS HANDS MET AT THE HEIGHT OF WHERE HIS LEGS CAME TOGETHER ( SHALL WE SAY)..
HOW TO DISCOVER A SCIENTIFIC NUMBER FOR THE MOST COMMON HEIGHT?
OFF TO COSTCO WHERE I MEASURED TEH HEIGHT OF THE PILES OF BLUE JEANS WHICH WERE SORTED BY INSEAM.. AND FOUND 32" TO BE TH E HIGHEST PILE AND THEREFORE COSTOCO HAD PROBABLY PAID GOOD MONEY FOR SOMEONE TO FIGURE OUT 32 " WAS THE MOST COMMON INSEAM SIZE SOLD.
I STARTED MY BREEDING PROGRAM... BENTLEY IS 32 INCHES TALL.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE END OF GEORGE W.'S BODY PARTS STORY....
THE BACKS OF HIS HANDS SHOWED FACING FORWARD..-- I KNOW I HAVE OBSERVED PEOPLE 'S ARMS HANG 2 WAYS-- EITHER THUMB OR BACK OF HAND FACING FORWARD... AND IT COULD BE MORE MEN HAVE THE BACK OF HAND SHOWING... WHICH WOULD VBE FINE FOR THE HARNESS MR MOON SENT WHERE THE HANDLE IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE DOG'S SPINE...
BUT BELLA USED THE WEB HARNESS BY GRABBING THE WEB WHICH RUNS PARALELL TO GEORGE( THE DOG'S SPINE.
AND SO DO ALOT OF PEOPLE.
SO THAT IS MY PROBLEM OF THE DAY...DESIGNING A HARNESS TO COPE WITH ARMS LIKE BELLA OR GEORGE W. BUSH.
THRU IT ALL I HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE CHINA'S EFFICIENCY- THERE IS A LESSON THERE.
SO THERE.
