NERVOUS NELLIES.....WE DO HAVE A FEW CAMERA PEOPLE. AS "NEW FIRST TIME MOTHERS" IN OUR CURRENT CROWD....AND CERTAINLY..... I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE PEOPLE TELL ME THINGS I MAY NOT HAVE SEEN MYSELF-- I CAN NOT SIT AND WATCH PUPS FOR 24 HOURS A DAY... THAT 'S WHAT MOTHER DOGS DO... HOWEVER... A RULE OF THUMB . THE OVERNIGHT PERSON'S HANDLING MUST BE MORE CAUTIOUS THAN WITH THE WAY THE MOTHER MOVES THEM AROUND HERSELF.------. AT THE MOPMENT-- ONE HANDED IS FINE... THEY ARE ON LY ONE HANDFUL..
I USED ONE HAND YESTERDAY TO ASSESS THE ROUNDNESS OF THE BELLY ON THE BLACK PUP.. AS I HAD 2 PHONECALLS ABOUT "SHE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH TO DRINK.".. PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT IS SAID BECAUSE EVERYONE NOTICES THE HARLEQUIN COLOR... AND IS NOT INCLINED TO SEE THE BLACK SLURPING AWAY.. BOTH BELLIES ARE ROUND. WE WILL KEEP CHECK ON WEIGHTS ... WHICH CAN VARY SLIGHTLY FROM DAY TO DAY DEPENDIN G ON LAST BOWEL FUNCTION/. THEY ARE TINY BY REESE'S STANDARDS... GIVE THEM 20 MINUTES-- THEY WILL ROUND OUT... IF THEY DON'T. WE CAN TRY... BUT THERE IS NOT ALOT WE COULD DO ABOUT THAK KIND OF MASSIVE PROBLEM...... SHE CERTAINL Y HAS MILK AVAILABLE. AND FROM WHERE I SIT... ALL LOOK PERFECTLY NORMAL AT THE MOMENT.
NERVOUS NELLIES I CAN COPE WITH...
NEGATIVE NELLIES ARE ANOTHER STORY.. IN THE ANIMAL "BUSINESS". THERE ARE ALWAYS "EXPERTS" WHO HAVE AN OPINION BASED ON A VERY SMALL SAMPLE. GROU[P .... "MY UNCLE HARRY'S SECOND COUSIN HAD A LITTER WITH A STILL BORN IN WITH 6 LIVE PUPS. IT WAS BECAUSE THE MOTHER WAS BRED ON THE THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH". THESE "NN" ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE JUST WAITING TO BE THE "ACCIDENTAL EXPERT" --
I CAN'T KNOCK THE CONCEPT OF. ---ACCIDENTAL EXPERT ---- I HAVE BEEN THERE TOO OFTEN MYSELF...AND WAS IT NOT THE WAY PENNICILLIN WAS DISCOVERED??? I WOULD THINK THE COV PANDEMIC WOULD HAVE GIVEN EVERYONE A BETTER FEEL FOR STATISTICS AND HOW DECISIONS ARE MADE... IF 6 PEOPLE OUT OF 100,000 HAD A BLOOD CLOT AFTER GETTING TH E COV VACCINE AND 50,145 PEOPLE DIED. OUT OF 100,000 BECAUSE THEY HAD NO VACCINE.... I WILL MAKE NOTE OF THE CLOT AS I STAND IN LINE TO GET THE VACCINE.
SO WHEN AN "ABNORMALITY " OR SOMETHING SLIGHTLY OUT OF THE NORM... IS NOTICED... IT SHOULD BE NOTICED.... ALONG WITH ANY OPINIONS.... AS LONG AS THOSE OPINIONS ARE NOT CRITICISMS. TO SAY " I WONDER IF BREEDING A DOG ON A THURSDAY PRODUCES STILLBORNS" IS ALOT DIFFERENT THAN " WELL I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN ... I WOULD. NEVER HAVE DONE IT THAT WAY" -- AND THAT TYPE LOGIC IS USUALLY FOLLOWED WITH " MY FRIEND SUZZIE WOULD NEVER DO IT THAT WAY EITHER"
ANY TIME -- ANY ONE-- WHO BACKS UP THIER IDEAS WITH THE "I HAVE A FRIEND ...." IS ALREADY ON SHAKEY GROUND... I HEAR THAT IN DOG TRAINING AND POLITICALLY ALL THE TIME...-- MOST NOTABLY, I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER HEARD THAT LOGIC IN MEDICAL DISCUSSIONS, --- VET OR MD-- SO THE PRE EXISTING DEGREE MIGHT INDICATE SOME PRE EXISTING KNOWLEDGE OF FACTS.... WHICH IS WHY... IN A KNOCK DOWN DRAG OUT ARGUEMENT WITH DVM...GEORGE...., I HAVE TO EVENTUALLY GIVE IN,, HOWEVER NEVER WILLINGLY.
TEHRE WAS ONE ARGUEMENT I HAD WITH MY HUSBAND ( MD) I NEVER GAVE IN... AND WOULD HAPPILY CONTINUE IT WITH ANYONE QUA;LIFIED OR UNQUAL;IFIED TO DO SO.....
CANCER--- ? IS IT NOT A FACT THAT .......CANCER COULD SPREAD AND CANCER WHEN SURGICALLY REMOVED....MIGHT NOT HAVE SPREAD...? IF THAT IS SO. THEN THERE IS A SPLIT SECOND IN TIME WHEN THE TRANSITION TAKES PLACE....
HE. WAS OF THE OPINION THAT WAITING A MONTH MADE NO DIFFERENCE...
I WAS OF THE OPINION. IT MIGHT NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO WAIT... BUT THEN AGAIN IT MIGHT.
----
OK ALL OF Y0U WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOLDIE...... RIGHT AT THIS POINT IN THE DAILY DOGGIIE, THE PHONE RANG-- DR TIGER-- TALKING ABOUT THE CHUNK THEY TOOK OF MY KNEE AND WHEN TO REMOVE IT... ( THURS 27 AT 9AM)
I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS GOING TO CALL... AND MY CHOICE OF TOIPCS FOR THE DD Came frfom
negative people vs nervous nellies...
