Poor blind Saber gets around really well but can't always know where the other dogs have been excavating. While I was taking video footage the other evening he stepped in a hole and limped off. He walked out of the limp almost immediately, but yikes. (The video does give a sense of his great big...

My ISP has recently removed access to USEnet. Googling around I see there are several play for pay type services as well as free. Has anyone had any personal use with these services that they might recommend? Rec. and Soc. groups don't have quite the newsgroups I seek. One of course relating to...

I don't know how interested people are in this sort of thing, but Buddy Streeper just recently posted a musher's eye view of a training run behind 18 dogs, breaking 20 mph. He's got what's currently considered to be the world's fastest open class sprint team and they're just amazing to watch in...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7569064.stm I just downloaded a copy of it from alt.binaries.multimedia that was posted within the last week. Use Binsearch to find it. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but it looks interesting--and depressing. -- Bob

DD and the crew from her barn left this afternoon for the Chuckwagon Races down in Clinton, Arkansas. She's going to be an outrider for Outlaw Wimmen which means she'll be participating in 5 official races in addition to various informal events. Updates to follow.

I will be having abdominal surgery in late September that will make my daily pack walk cumbersome for at least six weeks. As some may know, I have a very low tech method of walking four dogs that involves a stirrup leather strapped to my waist - exactly where the incision will be. I am looking...

Somehow this post and a reply sent via Google Groups did not appear on my server, although others have been OK, and they are in the Google archives. A similar thing happened a while ago, where my original post disappeared but later responses were OK. Maybe it's some weirdness with OE (Outhouse...

Got Khan's latest UTenn panel back for Atypical Cushing's. His only out-of-whack result, the Androsteinedione levels, have gone up again, although he has been on the melatonin-FSO protocol for over a year now. Resting went up by 0.4 (not significant), but the post results were up almost 20%. The...

We just got back from a long weekend Kabin Kamping at the KOA near Hagerstown, MD. There were some special events, including the Augustoberfest in downtown Hagerstown, and the Williamsport/C&O Canal Days festival in Williamsport. But mainly it was to be just R&R, and not Rock'n'Roll. We got...

Marcie is feeling her oats. Still bleeding, a week today. Not sure how much since she hasn't had her diaper on since getting up this morning. She and Rudy definitely have a mutual admiration society going. While I still supervise them very closely, or confine her, I am SO glad he's...

"The animals usually made it outside the nearby gate for bathroom breaks. The few times they didn't, ushers quickly mopped up the mess. 'I wish the humans would behave as well as the dogs do,' said usher Darren Drury,...

We're back from 10 days in Hendersonville, NC where we met my folks for a family vacation. Western North Carolina is a beautiful area, very green and lush despite the drought it's experiencing. People are friendly. There was a surprising amount to do. I'd been thinking of it as a small town...
