.. NO VIDEO TODAY??? I HAVE A PROBLEM THIS MORNING WITH THE VIDEO-- I THINK IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PICTURES AND IT SHUT ME DOWN...AND MAY HAVE SHUT OTHERS TOO. I LIKE THE PICTURES-- BUT PLEASE SAVE THEM AND USE THEM ONE AT A TIME... OYHERWISE I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. I DID FLAG 7 OUT OF 8 PICTURES... I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT FLAG MEANS-- BUT HOPEFULLY IT FIXES THE PROBLEM.

FOLOOW UP STORY OF----JANINE AND THE FLAT TIRE 2 MILES OFF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE ( NEW YORK CITY FOR YOU FOREIGNERS)--WITH ONE DRAFT HORSE AND 2 YOUNG THOROBREDS, NO BREAKDOWN LANE, AND THE SPARE ALREADY USED-- ALONG WITH ONLY INCHES FROM THE 80 MPH TRAFFIC... I HAVE TO GIVE THANKS TO THE NJ STATE POLICE-- JANINE CALLED 911 AND AAA AND THEY HAD A WRECKER THERE IN MINUTES, 2 CRUISERS SHUT OFF TWO LANE OF TRAFFIC WHIOLE THE WRECKER CHANGED THE TIRE IN-- SHE SAID IT WAS LESS THAN A MINUTE WITH POWER TOOLS.. I GUESS SHE GOT OUT BEHIND THE TRAILER AND WAVED HER RED SHIRT IN THE AIR TIL THE POLICE ARRIVED WITH TEH FLASHING LIGHTS.
IT WAS PROBABLY SENSABLE-- BECAUSE STAYING IN THE TRUCK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIT- AND AT 80 MPH THAT WAS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DRAFT AND ONE TB... BUT THE OTHER TB IS IN OUR BARN..
SAYS IT IS A NICE HORSE - 16.2 AND SEEMS KINDLY...
FYI---- THE EDUCATIONAL BIT FOR THE DAY--- 16.2 MEANS 16 HANDS 2 INCHES TALL AT THE SHOULDERS( WITHERS) AND A HAND IS 4 INCHES.. JUST FOR FUN... I JIUST MEASURED MY HAND...... 4 INCHES.. (THOSE OLD TYMERS HAD A PRACTICAL WAY ABOUT THEM....)
HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO ANY HORSES YOU MIGHT KNOW? JANINE'S BLACK HORSE IS ONLY 2 INCHES TALLER 17 HANDS ( AND HEAVIER..) MARY-- OUR DONKEY WAS ABOUT 14 HANDS WHICH IS TALL FOR A DONKEY AND IS A SHORT HORSE.
TALL IS DESIREABLE WITH JANINE'S LEAPING "HUNT CROWD". THEYare nutty anyway... it is the basketball player vs football player conformation i keep referring to withthe great dane shape... i prefer the football player shape.....

MY CHALLANGE OF YESTERDAY TUFTS VET SCHOOL IS DOING A STUDY ON BLOAT-- AND THEY ARE INTERESTED IN OUR "FAMILY" -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY BUT --- WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HAD 4 BLOATS IN ABOUT 300 DOGS.
SO I GOT THIS NOTE
Of the older dogs that have not bloated how many do not have a 1st degree relative that has not bloated?
3 not's in one sentance.... wow.... I TRIED...
AND GAVE THEM A LIST OF 14 DOGS OVER 5 YEARS OLD WHO HAVE NOT BLOATED-- BUT THE NEXT 2 "NOT'S" GOT ME
I TACKLED IT WITH ---BAILEY IS 12 ... AND NEITHER OF HER PARENTS BLOATED.
HOPEFULLY THAT IS RIGHT
SO WE MAY BE COLLECTING BLOOD -- OR SENDNG OUT DNA TEST KITS FOR 14 OF OUR DOGS...
ON WE GO...
