February 2008, 02:31:17 Subject: Re: Niki  anastasia: Having grown up in Nursing Homes (and having worked at a couple), if you go the Pet Therapy route, I hope you will also consider Nursing Homes. I saw pets brightening up their days MANY times. Sometimes, some Alzheimer's patients who don't respond to anything, responded with JOY at seeing a dog. 28. February 2008, 23:55:51 Subject: Re: Niki anastasia: sorry to hear about Nikis hips. How about getting in touch with some special needs schools, pet petting can be great therapy for kids, so Niki may be great for that? 28. February 2008, 23:52:42 Subject: Re: Niki Jim Dandy: Great Danes are one of my most favourite breed! Huge & so cool! 28. February 2008, 23:41:02 Subject: Re: Niki anastasia: That would be noble,some dogs just aren't happy sitting around all day watching Oprah and eating popcorn  I visited with a client on Tuesday,he brings his 13 month old Great Dane to the office a few days a week,I think I've found a new favorite breed,I was nuts about him 28. February 2008, 22:58:16 Subject: Re: Niki Jim Dandy: well,there kind of is tho,just in the fact that she is a working breed and for her to be truly happy..she has to work..that is her nature...it is up to me to find the job she was meant to do...again,BESIDES getting spoiled,lol. I would LOVE to see her do something in therapy..I think she would be wonderful at it,she sooo loves people,espeacially lil kids...how cool would it be to be able to take her places and make people happy,just by her being there...that would be awesome!! 28. February 2008, 20:06:31 Subject: Re: Niki anastasia: As long as Niki will lead a long healthy life,there is nothing to figure out  28. February 2008, 19:34:26 Subject: Niki Well..I wanted to wait until everything was said and done before I made this post about Niki....she has been "popping" in her hips for a couple months now and for my piece if mind,got her x-rayed...the Dr had said he thought it would be something muscular that she would outgrow but we would know for sure after the x-rays were done. Her x-rays came back showing severe hip dysplacia,and the end of her leg bones that seat into the hip joints are not formed corectly..they have flat spots on them both.They are only about 1/3 of the way seated into the joint itself.She will never be able to compete at a high level of Schutzhund because her joints will not stand the stress of the jumping and climbing that they have to do.She will never be able to breed..she is in, as I type this recovering from being spayed. So,I just wanted to share this with everyone,so you knew why I haven't posted about them in a while.I love her no less and she is still my lil jellybelly and her big Brother Damien's tormentor,lol..I am however very sad that she will not be able to work out on the feild.I suppose Schutzhund was not the reason the God brought her into my life,and now I have to figure out why she was..besides for me to spoil,lol!! 3.

February 2008, 17:28:52 Subject: Re: to quite in here!! anastasia: Awww, glad to hear that they are both doing so well  Amazing how dogs (and other pets too) are like little ones that never, ever grow up - always miss you when your not there, always happy to have you back, and always (even tho they are snoring away when you get up) taking over the spot you just left in the bed 31. January 2008, 01:13:21 Subject: Re: to quite in here!! srnity: ohhh,you asked for it!!! lol...j/k..really tho,they are both doing great!! Niki is up to 60 pounds now,she is truely a Mama's girl!! EVERYWHERE I go,she is RIGHT THERE.she lays on my feet,she sits so close to me while I am making dinner that she leans into me,she sleeps with me.She has to be touching me always!! If I roll over in bed,she rolls with me,then if I want to roll back,I have to slide her over,lol.She's my babygirl!! Damien is getting more affectionate with me since I have stoppped working.He was always a Daddy's boy.Mine on the training field but Daddy's at home.Well,now Dad is working and MOM is at home.... We haven't been training as hard because it is so stinkin cold outside,you can't be out there to long.I had planned on trialing Damien this spring,but he won't be ready so we will shot for fall...no biggie..I won't pressure my dog to do something he is not ready for 23.

Sadly, yes, though the charity is tight-lipped about it! The March of Dimes has funneled millions of dollars into animal experiments. March of Dimes-funded experimenters have: sewn shut newborn kittens’ eyes, left them blind for a year, and then killed them; cut organs from pigs and stitched them into primates; and addicted pregnant animals to alcohol, nicotine and cocaine. In one study (results published in 1998), experimenters cut into the abdomens of pregnant sheep and destroyed the ear drums of the unborn lambs. Just before birth, the mother sheep and lambs were killed, and the brains were cut from the lambs to be examined 15. January 2008, 04:26:50 Subject: Awwwwww, how cute are these two? 15.

January 2008, 18:53:41 Subject: Re:Don't animals usually eat there young only when they know there is a problem with it? srnity: Well,I think it was a wonderful thing you did,taking in the bunny,how cool that your doggy loved it...I think D would try to kill it I think to some point humans probably DO intervene on stuff like that to much..I don't think we do it with any other intentions but to help tho.BUT..if you think about it...you never see a disfigured animal out in the wild,you don't see ANY "handicapped" animal out in the wild because in nature...that kind of creature COULD NOT exsist.So,I suppose it is better if the mother "takes care" of that part of the life cycle.For whatever reason, that Mama Bunny knew that the offspring would be better the way she handled it.Some things maybe we just aren't meant to understand.Nature takes care of it own...it has a wonderful balance of life and death. 14. January 2008, 17:13:55 Subject: Re:Don't animals usually eat there young only when they know there is a problem with it? anastasia: Some years ago, a neighbor/friend brought me a "domestic" rabbit that she found in the park, it was the dead of winter, and I took her in. She pretty much had free range of the house and the yard (knew what the litterbox was for, and for some odd reason, female bunnies know better - my experience anyway) plus I had a really old big doggie that loved bunnies, so he protected her. Turned out she was pregnant, and even tho she made a "nest" in a box behind the TV with towels, etc., when they were born, she ignored them, and we watched them pass on one by one, hoping that she'd come around and care for her babies, but she didn't. I still wish I had not taken her in, maybe they would've lived if left outdoors where I guess she wanted to be...never again...maybe sometimes humans get involved when they just shouldn't, true?  14. January 2008, 15:42:51 Subject: Re: And Another Good Reason (I guess)..... anastasia: I was just imagining if I was that polar bear! She probably has mental problems anyway with being in a zoo. When I visited Sea World in Florida (not my choice cos I dont pay to see animals in zoos) the polar bears looked extremely traumatised! Pacing back & forth manically, loads of people staring at them, no privacy, kids banging on the glass etc etc etc....enough to send anyone mad!! 14. January 2008, 15:26:18 Subject: Re: And Another Good Reason (I guess)..... Ewe: OH! GOOD ONE Ewe!! 14. January 2008, 10:41:40 Subject: Re: And Another Good Reason (I guess)..... anastasia: or maybe she didnt want her young to suffer the life of incarceration she has had to indure!? 14. January 2008, 02:32:46 Subject: Re: And Another Good Reason (I guess)..... srnity: Don't animals usually eat there young only when they know there is a problem with it? Survivol of the fittest?? 14.

A handout picture shows a polar bear cub born by polar bear Vera at the zoo in Nuremberg January 11, 2008. The zoo in southern Germany, under fire for letting a mother polar bear eat its five-week old cub, has bowed to media and public pressure and decided to hand rear its last surviving baby. 14.

January 2008, 03:34:41 Subject: Resize an icon image for BrainKing  An item I posted to the Computers discussion board a while ago...maybe it could help someone. Here's what I've been using for Icon files: http://resizepic.com/ (Don't forget to save your original files before cropping and resizing steps--I'd hate to see anybody lose any valuable images.) To avoid unacceptable image distortion, I'd suggest either beginning with an image that's close to a multiple of 40x50, or else cropping it to approximately those relative dimensions, before you use that online tool to create a 40x50 image. I hope you like it! I've had good results. 13. January 2008, 02:48:29 Subject: we hit 2000 posts!!! well,heck,now it will be 2001 with this post...but you guys know what I mean!!! GOODIE for us!!!! Srnity & PrettyMama...glad we can all see each others icons now,lol....big thanks to Rose for the puter lesson...Lord knows she helps me out on things,oh,pretty much EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.If it wasn't for Miss Rose,I wouldn't be able to even HAVE an icon pic,lol 13.

January 2008, 15:36:12 Subject: More toys than a Toys R Us Yep...I know just what you mean :-) And like you, I'm a believer in presenting them with new challenges and stimuli. (That's great for any brain!) I'm glad my cats have each other, too, during my time at work or competing. It really breaks my heart to hear about children, seniors, or pets confined to dull and lifeless surroundings. 10. January 2008, 15:04:33 Subject: Re: THAT is why there are so many animlas in shelters Jim Dandy: Do you mean what will happen to my dogs after I retire them from compitition?? If thats the question,then they will STILL train on the field,whatever their bodies can take.They will be fixed...if I'm not competeing,no sence in NOT having them fixed.I will allow my dogs to train in the sport for as long as they are able..and when they are no longer able to,because their bodies will not permit them,then they will pretty much live like they do now,run of my house,run of my yard,more toys then a Toys are Us.I will still do lil things to help their minds and bodys,like hide treats around the house for them to find...but thats still YEARS off,lol....D will be 2 at the end of the month and I plan on keeping him competitive till hopefully 6 or 7...maybe even 8 if his joints hold up!! (he goes the first part of next month for his hips and elbows to be x-raed and certified!!!) By the time D is retiring form the field tho,Niki will be in her prime,and we should have another one,hopefully one of Niki's pups to start into it :) 10. January 2008, 11:00:53 Subject: Re: THAT is why there are so many animlas in shelters Jim Dandy: LOVE that name...Strudel the Poodle sorry to hear what happened to him, yes I agree we do learn alot of things from our pets....they are really important for our children to learn about responsibility & caring etc & even death 10.
