Yeah. It only took her two tries to find a horse she could sit:
*For the regulars, my daughter was finally convinced that Luna,
her mustang, was never going to be a safe, fun horse to ride. After
months and months of dedicated training she was still making
frequent, spirited attempts to murder anyone sitting on her back.
Albert is keeping her, though, and trying to get his hands on her
brother so he can use them as a matched pair to pull a buckboard
at next year's Chuckwagon Races.
Reno, her new horse, is a sweetheart.
-------------------------
Luna can pull a buckboard but can't ride a child who BEATS an KICKS IT.
"I had a BC, a horrible escape artist who had learned to stick his
head into the shadow box fencing and use it to lever to pry off
boards so he could go bumming around the neighborhood.
Obviously the canine spine is not made to deal with this.
The docs at the ortho clinic did the dye test on the spine and called
me with the news that it was most probably cancer - they said they
were about 85 percent sure. Said there was evidence of a mass well
above and below the disks that were supposed to be ruptured.
And that the kindest thing might be to not allow him to wake up
from the anesthesia.
I was flabbergasted. Devastated. How could cancer have such
a sudden onset? And my own vet had been so certain that it was
trauma...
So I said "absolutely not" to immediate euthanasia. Told them to
proceed with the surgery. Open him up and see what's in there. If
it was the disks, patch him up, and if it was cancer, just debulk the
tumor, get asmuch of it out as possible to relieve his pain and buy
him some time.
It was the disks. They'd ruptured with such violent force that the
squishy stuff inside had spurted all up and down the spinal canal -
that's what they'd been seeing on the dye test.
It still makes me sick to my stomach to think about what would
have happened if I'd been willing to follow "expert advice" instead
of my own instincts.
Connor had staples in his neck holding the incision closed.
12 days post op I took him to have them removed and the
incision just FELL OPEN.
Thank god it happened before we left the office. Healing was delayed
by the oral steroids he'd been given to try to relieve his pain prior to
his consult at the ortho clinic. They re-stapled him and we returned
again in another 14 days. This time it stayed closed.
As I recall, I kept him crated for that first month, taking him outside
in the yard on a belt that wrapped around his waist so as not to put
any strain on his neck. He was so relieved not to be hurting anymore
that I had to keep him confined to stop him from doinging around like
a maniac.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. But I know for a fact that
there a lot of folks who would. Personally, I'd only share a photo
like that with kindred souls.
I have a young JRT named Cooper who refuses to go to ground
at the local EarthDog Fun Days. He's scared of the rat in the cage.
I suspect his phobia relates to an incident last year. We had an
invasion of mice in the pantry. Lots of ruined food, and it reeked
of rodent.
I had to clean everything out,and purchase gnaw-proof packaging.
I also put baited traps on the pantry floor.
Now, I was in the next room, so I don't know exactly what
happened, but I heard the "snap" of one of the traps going off,
and then Cooper and both of the BCs came flying around the
corner, tuck-tailed, wild eyed and scrambling for purchase on
the Pergo.
I don't know which of them set the trap off, but it evidently
impressed the hell out of all three of them. And I think
Cooper associates the smell of rodents with nasty snappy things.
I'd like to see him be able to do the things his breed is
famous for, and I've been told that the best way to "boost his
confidence" would be to purchase a rodent and let him kill it.
But I just can't do that.
Even though I eat meat, drink milk, wear leather and kill wild
rodents with traps. Too many of my kids' friends keep vermin
for pets, and I can only imagine the reaction that my 4th grade
son would get on Monday morning when the kids in his class
share the interesting things they did over the weekend.
Unfortunately, personal philosphy aside, you have to
decide whether the end is worth putting up with Joan Q.
Public's reaction.

INDEEDY! And you could certainly take advantage
of a nice arrangement like that when you hand deliver
your sister's puppy mill puppy to his new owner:
"In other news, I will be taking advantage of an
extraordinary op****tunity for travel. On January
18th I will be flying to Chicago to meet my sister
and our mom, and from there we will be heading
across the Atlantic to Spain.
My sister is delivering a Norwich terrier puppy of
her own breeding to a buyer living just outside of
Madrid, then we will embark upon a 9 day tour of
the country.
Wish us luck - I'm having a hard time imagining how
we're going to keep a 4 month-old puppy happy and
quiet during the 13 hour flight."

You know from personal EXXXPERIENCE HOWE
difficult it is to establish a REPUTATION as a
TRUSTWORTHY, legitimate business person when
startin a new business.
> Run away as fast as you can.
Perhaps we should wrap HOWER legs so's we don't
get abrasions on HOWER ankles in the scuffle like
HOWE your own ill trained fear aggressive hyperactive
HOWETA CON-TROLL dogs do?:
"Z-Control Skid Boots were born out of my frustration
with other methods of skid protection. Wrapping with
Vetwrap was tricky and time consuming, and was a
constant source of worry at busy tournaments...
"Only four races in between... Do I dare leave him
wrapped, or will his feet wind up swelling? And if I
DO leave the Vetwrap on him, will he shred it as
soon as I turn my back?"
There had to be a better way.
--------------------
And INDEED, there IS, kathleen!
If you LEARNED HOWE to pupperly wrap
legs and COULD LEARN HOWE to TRAIN
your hyperactive fear aggressive dogs to not
shred them off soon as you stop jerkin an
chokin an turn your back on them, you
WOULDN'T NEED your useless spam leg

kathleen's SUCCESS with her own dogs:
"My JRT is skittish around men, including my
husband, and he was never abused or neglected."
My JRT, Cooper (a two year-old neutered male), has a similar problem,
although only with my husband. Dad has to maintain a very low-key,
neutral, matter-of-fact demeanor around Cooper, especially when he
first gets home. Any hint of either exuberance or gruffness is liable
to turn on the waterworks. Babytalking in a high squeaky voice
guarantees a mess.
Another thing that seems to boost Cooper's confidence is
greeting Dad as a member of the three dog pack instead of
one-on-one.

Jerry!
You helped me with my pal Dundee about a year ago regarding
submissive peeing. Just wanted to let you know he's doing
great- he was "cured" in about 2 days using your techniques!
He has since become the "smartest dog in the world"! Once I
stopped thinking like a human and got inside his head, I can
teach him ANYTHING, usually in a matter of minutes. Makes me
look like an expert dog-trainer.
I rescued two strays last week, cleaned 'em up, wormed 'em,
and am getting them their shots. Time to get inside their
heads and teach them to teach themselves how to be good dogs!
Instead of feeling like "training" is a chore, I look forward
to working with these guys a couple times a day...
Although I don't follow your instructions "to a T",
I learned from you to "think like a dog" and stimulate
their brain rather than beating ass or pinching, or any
of that nonsense. I know damn well I would NOT be loyal
to someone who beat MY ass lol!
Well, just wanted to thank you for rattling the bushes out
there and teaching folks the RIGHT way to "train" dogs. A
horseman friend of mine uses very similar techniques in
training his horses- he calls it "natural horseman****p". He
is hated by nearly all the local "trainers" yet somehow he
repeatedly wins at every show he attends. He rarely shows any
more, but goes now and then to rub their noses in it (pun
intended)... Too cool....
Have a great holiday season and keep up the good work!
