i had red hair-- my mother had brown then white from a very early age..2 sisters-- brown hair.... my father had black hair-- this became a topic of conversation with father's monthly poker party.. which caused him to raise a beard every once in a while... because... his beard was red. so much for the study of genetics of the day.
well... not quite....i am no expert--- heck. i am hardly a beginner past mr mendell and his square. of x's and y's. however when bryan( dvm) summed up teh breeding of dogs with. "it takes two to tango"- that has caused me to spend hours studying-- "if... then"......all the dominant and resessive posibilities of "boy meets girl..." -- there is soooooo much. to think about beyond the knee jerk reaction . when you look at our all over numbers, our health record is super....not to be confused with perfect.
the entire topic of dog health drives me nutts on a daily basis...
how nuts ? you may ask.... let me tell you....
every morning the first thing i do is open the emails-- and scan them for recipients emails--- i quickly click on the first- which has some subjet matter usually the dogs name---at which point my #$%^&*() computer. will decide to tell me the weather report for fairbanks alaska--- my blood pressure will go from normal to "off the charts". as i try and persuade this machine to. tell me what the recipient has to say about their partner. i am terrified something is wrong either health or training wise- it is sooooo bad... that i finally asked recipients... including bella's mom to put "george is good". on the subject matter.... so when i am forced to wait for news, i don't have a. nervous breakdown. "what happened... what did i miss?" ...... believe me ,i am fully aware of the more than critical part these dogs play in their partner's lives.....i do not need a review lecture on that topic.....
problem is--- it is also a fact.. teh recipients will all probably outlive their current partners....sorry for the downer...-- so concentrate on teh 6-7-8 years of a wonderful life with them. and when they need to retire--- let them-- we will do our best to find you. a second round,
may i remind you "medicine is both an art... and a science". i am sure someone said that.

freddie spent the night--- and. learned alot..
namely.
jiminey's kong is jiminey's kong---- no blood-- lotsa noise...
and let sleeping dogs lie--- or they growl. ( bentley)
but it is ok to tiptoe in past bentlye's eye range. for a cookie
and you must listen for your name to get a freebee treat from the woman at the computer.
-----
the that is my kong lesson does not require a knee jerk reacion--- it is called a learning experience... jiminey has every right to explain that to freddie... the only exception would be if i over rode his decision...
allies are people--- or dogs--- with common enemies....political or otherwise.
