I am an apprentice dog trainer, and I work with the local SPCA a lot. We are currently fighting against a resurgence in dominance and force-based trainers in our area, and I'd love to do some training demos at public events to try to counter their influence. If you have time and don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear how you structure your training demos and what you do in them - you can contact me at dannancurry@gmail.com. Thanks so very much!<br /><br />Lindsay CurryLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799272089910670208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-84396031958692569382009-09-28T19:26:05.661-04:002009-09-28T19:26:05.661-04:00Lauren, I really appreciate your being there for m...Lauren, I really appreciate your being there for me. It means more than you know. Thanks for all your help and support.<br /><br />We need to stop making each other cry though. I don't know about you but my body is losing salt faster than I can replenish!

With Orli, dealing with her CONSTANT ear problems is ONLY manageable by feeding her raw food. She just can't have it any other way and live well. Vets and even friends like to tell me I'm crazy but I have no choice and I do the best I can. <br /><br />With Bauer, we had people in our lives who thought we were INSANE for wracking up credit card debt (which we are just now starting to acknowledge) to pay for his Chemo, Ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc. We spent thousands and thousands and more thousands on him and NO regrets. Ironically, we had people who thought we didn't do "enough" or that we used the wrong "methods". To be critical of someone who is facing something terrifying is the ultimate sin, in my view. When we lost Bauer, it seemed the number one question was "How old was he?". Like THAT is important! Who cares? Whether they are 6 weeks old ;-) or 12 years old, they are YOUR babies. You do the best you can with the resources you've got. <br /><br />Dog only knows, I am FEROCIOUS with my opinions on veterinary care. I pride myself on being a pioneer of sorts when it comes to holding vets to the flame. I learned to do this with Bauer. The other lesson he taught me--I sob as I type this--<br /><br />Never, never give up. <br /><br />I love you Marie and I love Missy too. I am prepared to walk quietly beside you as you take this journey. You did the same for me. <br /><br />LaurenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-76999212978476096062009-09-27T21:09:35.569-04:002009-09-27T21:09:35.569-04:00Thanks for the info on the list Katie.

I sent a link to the specialists as well so there is an up to date diary if you will of what I am seeing/experiencing. <br /><br />http://missyvideos.blogspot.comMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524000425567342719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436604737769148117.post-85202207074423662342009-09-26T11:55:45.770-04:002009-09-26T11:55:45.770-04:00It is hard managing three dogs, especially when on...It is hard managing three dogs, especially when one is sick. It was very hard for me when Harv was having his seizures and everything that went with them. And I don't have a husband and kids who need attention, too!<br /><br />I didn't get a very good feel for what is going on with Missy from your post, but if you guys are thinking her episodes are seizures, I cannot say enough good things about the Epil-K9 mailing list. I got a lot of help and support there when I was really struggling.Katiehttp://underdogged.netnoreply@blogger.com
