RABIES--- LARGE ITEM IN A DOG OWNERS LIFE.. THEY NOW...IN MASS... ALLOW A SHOT TO BE GOOD FOR 3 YEARS ---IF---- IT IS GIVEN WITHIN 9 TO 12 MONTHS OF TEH PREVIOUS SHOT.. NOT ONE DAY DIFFERENT ! MUST BE GIVEN BY A VET....IF YOU HAVE IT DONE AT A VET THEY WILL"NEED" TO DO A PHYSICAL FOR $50,,, IF YOU GO TO THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IT IS $2- AND SO FAR MINE HAVE ALL SURVIVED.
TODAY'S NEWS OF A MAN WHO SAVED HIS SON FROM THE JAWS OF A CAYOTE-- IN THE SAME NEWS THEY SAID THAT CAYOTE HAD ALREADY ATTACKED A CAR.......HOLD IT RIGHT THERE SOUNDS LIKE A WILD ANIMALL NOT BEHAVING IN A NORMAL WAY- I HOPE SOMEONE IN ANIMAL CONTROL IS THINKING OF RABIES-- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FRIENDLY-- HEALTHY --- COYOTE- WE HAD ONE HERE IN THE ARENA 20 YEARS AGO-- IT DID NOT RUN AWAY FROM ME- LUCKILY I CALLED ANIMAL CONTROL-- WHO SHOT IT--- ALL THE DOGS GOT BOOSTERS,,,, I HAD TO GO THRU THE RABIES TREATMENT EVEN THO I HAD NOT TOUCHED IT-- PLUS WE WERE QUARENTINED FOR ?WEEKS? AS TEH CARCUS WAS SENT TO CORNELL UNIVERSITY AND CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR RABIES...
I AM TOLD..... NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE SURVIVE RABIES ONCE THE SYMPTOMS APPEAR.. SO IF THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE-- YOU GO HAVE THE TREATMENT.==== WHICH IS--- IS A SERIES OF 3 SHOTS GIVEN AT SPECIFIC TIMING... I REMEMBER " YOUR NEXT SHOT IS AT 2PM ON THURSDAY"-- KIND OF THING.- TEH SHOTS ARE NOT SPECTACUALR-- I USED TO HEAR ABOUT SHOTS IN THE STOMACH-- NOT TRUE WHEN I HAD THEM... SORE ARM IS ABOUT ALL I REMEMBER.

NOW WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING PUPPIES FROM EUROPE-- THERE IS NO QUARENTINE INTO THE USA....AS YOU ALL HAVE COME TO REALIZE.... BUT THERE IS "LANGUAGE" ABOUT SHIPPING FROM A "COUNTRY FREE OF RABIES" .. WHICH GERMANY IS... AND I THINK CZECH IS ALSO---
WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHY A PUP FROM CZECH CAN NOT BE SHIPPED FROM FRANKFURT--
WE HAVE SOME INVESTIGATING TO DO.... THERE ARE FLIGHTS FROM PRAGUE TO BOSTON WITH ONE STOP--LAST TIME WITH SIR RICHARD, THT STOP WAS LISBON AND IT TOOK 24 HOURS-- THERE SEEM TO BE 10 HOUR FLIGHTS.. AND I DID SEE THE WORD "DELTA" == REMEMBER JUDY FLEW TO COPENHAGAN AND BACK IN 24 HOURS TO PICK UP A PUP... FREE...
JUDY'S HUSBAND IS A PILOT AND SHE IS X-AIRLINE.
WE HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO.

NOW ABOUT OTHER AILMENTS..... FLU FROM CHINA... THE PART THAT CONCERNS ME IS YESTERDAY 6 PEOPLE IN CHINA HAD CONFIRMED CASES... TODAY THEY HAVE A CASE OF 14 PEOPLE WHO HAVE CAUGHT IT FROM ONE CONTACT. THERE IS A MATH WORD FOR THAT KIND OF THING...?EXPONENTIAL INCREASE???
----
THAT MEANS WHEN SOMEONE SNEEZES NOW, YOU BETTER SAY " GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE IN TH E ELEVATOR"
-----
I AM TOLD SIR RICHARD WILL BE HERE TODAY-- I WANT TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT HIM-- HE MUST BE A YEAR OLD NOW-- AND MERLE..... MERLE BRED TO BLACK WITH WHITE PAWS.. IS SUPPOSED TO PRODUCE 25% BLACK... 25% black with white markings ( sizzle) 25% merle and 25% harl- so i need to pull the pedigrees and look over richard and may
this would give us 100% dogs which could be reg with teh DDC-- that is very interesting to teh usual american dane breeder- and if sir richard throws spectacular pups, it might be worth the effoirt to keep him reg and stud him out--- for cash...not pups... knowing me ... i won't get around to it ...
