When I was stationed in Japan, I used to watch it. It was pretty amazing, the way these contestants would fling themselves into the most dangerous and painful situations. I was happy and amazed to see the show being resurrected as MXC. The voice-overs and contestant names bust me up more than the action nowadays! Brilliant show!<BR/><BR/>Glad you guys had a great night!<BR/><BR/>Ressive: not feeling ag or dep?Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030144097656677108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-70437821501459434262009-01-02T00:22:00.000-08:002009-01-02T00:22:00.000-08:00PS: Roland is still limping on the snow, but OK wh...PS: Roland is still limping on the snow, but OK when off the snow.

They are carefully supervised and all have great recall. This mostly likely happened when David was walking them at night -- they are not on leash (yes, one of the perks of rural living), and if they might have gotten into something beyond the range of his head lamp. They all know not to eat things off the ground when we are watching, and commands like "leave it" and "drop it" are solid and obeyed. Still, Watson and Willow are indiscriminate eaters and accidents do happen. We were lucky in this case.<BR/><BR/>Kerstin is only the horse vet, so she didn't get this $400+. But I had to put an emergency call into her today because Tonka's sheath was so swollen that the skin was beginning to split. She will likely come out tomorrow, but she called an antibiotic prescription into the human pharmacy for me this morning. He is coated with Zinc Oxide on the outside so let's hope that the split doesn't pick up a secondary infection. Horse ownership hasn't been as much fun as it should be over the last couple of months...dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072031429438530210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-4951437628559986802009-01-01T20:44:00.000-08:002009-01-01T20:44:00.000-08:00OMG, your poor animals!

Sit stay the dog, with the rope or leadline attached to the properly worn choke chain. Walk 10 or so feet away to start, gradually increasing the distance. Call the dog, and immediately begin reeling in the line, and the dog. Praise it as SOON as it takes a willing step toward you. Have the dog Sit in front of you, and praise him! As the dog gets the idea, always PRAISE it immediately when it willingly comes to you. Repeat until the dog is coming faster than you can reel him in.<BR/><BR/>Next day or two, repeat.<BR/><BR/>For the REST OF THE DOG'S LIFE, EVERY SINGLE TIME you command to 'come', PRAISE the dog as he is coming when commanded!<BR/><BR/>Even if he's just made a purposeful, naughty mess in the house, or chewed something, PRAISE HIM FOR COMING TO YOU! He did THAT right. THEN point out the dog's error and correct him as needed.<BR/><BR/>The dog learns that coming to you, even when he's totally in trouble, is not the worst thing, in fact, it's a good thing! My pupper took one afternoon to get the idea, because he wanted to be near me anyways, and at the very worst, he would slowly and sadly walk to me when he knew he was naughty. But he ALWAYS came, and was ALWAYS praised for it. (Which amused me, and made me less angry at him, as I knew he was really a good dog, so I could correct him much more effectively!) Even at a full run heading for a street, he would return immediately instead of continuing into danger. So I never had to teach him a drop stay, although he tried to do one if commanded! <BR/><BR/>---<BR/>Arg, dp, my Xmas wish for you is all your animals get and stay healthy for as long as possible!<BR/><BR/>Poor pups, what a week! Thank goodness they seem to be ok thus far! Worth the money for that outcome!<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you can ask the neighbor to not put out rat poison in an area your dogs might easily get too? Or put invisible fence.... I think poisoning is the #1 fear of dog owners. Even an inside only dog can get into trouble in an instant from an unlucky bite at 'free food'.<BR/><BR/>Poor Tonka! Maybe he needs a sheath cozy, or a heated crotch cover? A wooly bellyband? Except the tip kinda still has to be exposed.... sigh.<BR/><BR/>Poor Roland! If he's still limping after today, I'd be surprised. And worried. But he should forget about it by then. I like your "goat press"! VERY handy!<BR/><BR/>A Happy New Year to all!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030144097656677108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-59785414886470945452009-01-01T16:10:00.000-08:002009-01-01T16:10:00.000-08:00Hey Carol, check out a dvd called "Really Reliable...Hey Carol, check out a dvd called "Really Reliable Recall" by Leslie Nelson.

I hope this animal-crisis one is over and the new year will bring excellent health for you and all of your dogs, cats, horses and goats. Very concerning about warfarin- I always worry about pets that pick up stuff (as every single one of mine has). Along with a perfect recall, I long for a "leave it" that is 100% consistent. Even then, if they get roaming privileges, which I imagine is one of the many benefits to your lifestyle choice, there is always that risk, I guess. Anyhow, here's to no more vet bills in 2009. (It's interesting that Carol, at Saints, talked of paid off vet bills as well.)Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.com
