WOW... I GOT A COLLECTION OF SEVERAL MORNING ROUTINES DONE BY CAMERA PEOPLE FAR MORE EXTENSIVE THAN MY MERE 30 SIT UPS WHICH TAKE 3 MINUTES.... - INCLUDING THE ROUTINE OF THE CANADIAN MILITARY.. HAPPILY ALL END UP WITH COFFEE AND THE DAILY DOGGIE !! --- PUPPIES .... REMEMBER THE PUPS AND OLDER DOGS ARE FED EVERY MORNING SOMETIME 8 TO 9:00 AND AROUND 4PM AT NIGHT... ON THE ARENA CAMERA.. SO YOU SHOULD GET A GOOD OLOOK At everyt dog in the barn aT THAT TIME.... IT ALSO GIVES ME A CHANCE TO SEE HOU THEIR HIPS AND BACK LEGS ... AS THE DOGS EAT AT THE TABLES... I WATCH.... IS THEIR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTED EVENLY ON BOTH FEET AS THEY STAND WITHTHEIR HEADS STRAIGHT INTO T HE BOWL OF FOOD?? i cannot tell you how many danes have trouble standing on their hind legs for any amt of time... i do watch this.. the raised tables give me a good chance.... AS DOES STANDING ON THE FENCE... SEE. THAT CALENDAR PICTURE OF “VOTING” ---- point to ponder..... when you take YOUR dog to the vet for this yearly physical--- that some vets seem to encouraGE,--- THEY LOOK.. EYES EARS M OUTH BELLY , HEART ALL THE WAY TO ANAL GLANDS.... BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE "WATCH HOW THEY MOVE" -- MIOST OFTEN THE EXAM ROOM, IS ABOUT 8 FOOR SQUARE.. NOT CONDUCIVE TO AN EXTENDED TROT... IN MY OPINION ... IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AN EXPERT OPIINION ON THE WAY YOUR DOG MOVES, TRY ASKING A PERSON WHO BUYS/ SELLS/ OR RIDES HORSES..... WITH A HORSE , . A GOOD TROT ON THE H OT TOP... AND YOU CAN OFTEN HEAR A LAMENESS BEFORE YOU CAN SEE IT.... OR YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE PAW PRINTS -- AT A GOOD DIAGIONAL TROT THE HOOF PRINTS SHOULD M ATCH WHERER THE REAR PRINT OVERSTEPS THE FRONT PRINT AN EQUAL AMOUNT... HARDER TO SEE IN A DOG THAN A HORSE.... A HORSE WILL USUALLY "OVERSTEP" THE FRONT PRINT EQUALLY BY 5 OR 6 INCHES... .. DECIDING A HORSE OR DOG IS LAME.. OR "OFF" IS A LOT EASIER THAN DECIDING WHICH LEG IS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RUMOR " IF THE HEAD GOES UP IT IS THE HIND END" BUT SEEING AS UP OR DOWN CAN BE A variable... it is difficult... REMEMBER THE 2 PUPS I GOT FROM GERMANY.. ALL VETTED PERFECTLY- BUT RIGHT OUT OF THE CAGE ONE LOOKED OFF TO ME. AND FINALLY I ASKED OUR EQUINE VET TO HAVE A LOOK .. AND HE CAME UP WIOTH A DEFORMED BONE IN TH E BACK LEG ( IT IS NOW A PET .. AND THE BREEDER REPLACED THE PUP. ) LAMENESS??? I REMEMBER.... A 4H SHOW ONCE WHERE ONE OF OUR CLUB HAD A HORSE THAT WAS LAME... BUT SHE SHOWED IT SUCCFESSFULLY “IN HAND” BY HAVING HER LIMP WHEN SHE RAN THE HORSE FOR THE JUDGE-AND THAT THREW OFF THE JUDGES VISION. I HAVE FOUND THE IDEAL WINTER OCCUPATION... SITTING IN A COMFOPRTABLE CHAIR.. WATCHING THE PUPS AND TRAINING... WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC AND MAKING MONKEY FISTS JUST TO FEEL USEFUL...... IT IS WARM AND I CAN SING WITHOUT ANNOYING ANYONE... BECAUSE THAT COMFORTABLE CHAIR IS THE DRIVERS SEAT IN MY CAR... WHICH IS ALSO MY PORTABLE OFFiCE AND WORKSHOP. IT CONTAINS 2 PHONES ---CELL AND LAND... MY ESENTIAL TOOLBOX... CLIPBOARD AND TOTE BAG OF ALL THE MONKEY FISTS FOR THE 1INCH SIZE.... I DID NOTICE MY CAR WAS INDEED “LAME” BECAUSE WHEN I PUT ON THE BRAKES, IT WAS NOT EVENLY DONE... IT’S HEAD BOBBED.... NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT SQUEELED WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT .. SO I TOOK IT TO COUNTRY MOTORS WHERE THER IS AN ACTUAL MECHANIC...- as in mike rowe mechanic... - I GOT TI KNOW HIM WELL WHEN I DROVE THE 1982 AMBULANCE... HE CAN FIX THINGS..... SO HE OPENED THO HOOD LOOKING FOR THE SQUEEL AND SAID “DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOWN A QUART?” ( I told him PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT About me for years)..... along with one tire thqt waS NOT TOTALLY ROUND... AGAIN.. HE OFFERED TO TAKE IT FROM ME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I MIGHT NEED TOI GET ME THRU THE WINTER... WITHOUT HAVING TO BE RESCUED... ALTHO A GREAT DEAL OF TIME THAT CAR DOES NOT GO OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR RIDING AROUND CRAZY ACRES, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I PULL A TRAILER FAR TOO HEAVY FOR IT..... AND I do PLOW with it.. ... SO MY COMFORTble chair is gone... hopefully returned today all spiffed up.. with a full tank of gas . You hav e heard of singing in the rain... or shower...... well I will be back singing in my nice car. Fyi-the hale grove--- oranges are super oranges ---not as orange LOOKING as the Costco ones, but taste and peal; much better.. highly recommended HELP.... WITH ALL TH EPEOPLE WHO READ THIS......... Now... I need another set of ears..... I think I heard.. in the middle of the night while half asleep the tv ---- which would have to be cnn,fox,mnbc or nat’l geogrqaphic ( DR POL) ... DID I HEAR A DR. BEING INTERVIEWED ABOUT COV.. WHO SAID THEY WERE GETTING BETTER AT TREATING IT... AND 2 OF THE MEDS HE USED WERE VITAMIN “D” AND ?????? MELETONIN??????? MELETONIN??? THAT STUFF I FEAL GUILTY TAKING BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAVE SOME DELIGHTFULLY WEIRD DREAMS--- OR IS THIS JUST ONE OF THOSE DREAMS????????? .. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE HEARD THAT-- ON TO THE NYTIMES SPELLING BEE. ANDA SECOND CUPPA.... here's one....copy paste... from ann I saw on yr blog this AM that you keep getting FB stuff about home helpers. You at least know you once signed up for something. I keep getting videos of people catching venomous snakes in Australia. What did I do to invite that ? |
