   I see that!

   My beagle doesn’t do sticks, but she will chase rabbits. She wouldn’t hurt them, but she was trained to flush out rabbits before I got her. Recently I took her out about midnight for last call, and at the other side of the driveway there was a huge buck. Bunny wanted to chase it when it took off, but I had a good grip on the leash. Bunny actually let out a low “woof” which is very rare. The only toys she ever plays with are stuffies with squeakies. She will squeak them for a very long time, especially when she’s hungry. The sound, luckily, doesn’t bother me. I find it kind of relaxing, which even I find odd since I am so noise sensitive. There must not be any retriever in beagles. I have seen labs jump in lakes over and over for the same stick for very long periods of time. They love it!

   I do think it’s a little rude of Gladys to immediately change the channel without suggesting watching a specific other channel first.

   It’s nice to have entertainment with dinner.

   I agree, it can be pretty funny.

   Sirius doesn’t look like a retriever, but he acts like one.

   When my dog gets really wet in the rain, I will have her hang outside with me on the porch for a bit to see if she will shake. She won’t shake until she gets inside and past to foyer to the living room and is on the carpeting. Every. single. time. I try to remember to put a large towel by the door when it’s raining a lot.

   We have geese all year around. They walk up and down my street to get to the birdfeeders my neighbors have. Some are on the ground, and some are up higher and the smaller birds always end up dropping some food. There are goose droppings all over the place. I cannot walk my dog unless I watch the ground. I don’t want to step in any of it and I won’t tell you why I have to keep my dog from it. We have several dozen around at any given moment. They stay through ice and snow, maybe because they have food sources. Sadly, some people feed them white bread, which is not good for wildlife.

   Been there, done that. Broken ankle, took my dog along. She charmed the entire staff, which is her job, after all. (I called first for permission to have her along.)

    Thank you. I spent Thursday in a university hospital having a multitude of tests. I was only given one diagnosis – PPPD, and there is physical therapy that can help that. I was told that I would have a very hard time finding anyone in my state that can do the PT, but it turns out that I found a place less than 3 miles away. Even more odd, I had asked some physical therapists if they knew anyone who does vestibular PT, and that is exactly what I need. I kept the name of the place they recommended, but how did I know to ask about that? I have had vertigo for 17 years, and have tried PT more than once in the past with no luck. I am not in the medical field. My dog is – she does hospital therapy dog work.
