28. Februarie 2008, 19:34:26 Subiectul: 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!! 28.

Februarie 2008, 22:58:16 Subiectul: 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. Februarie 2008, 23:41:02 Subiectul: 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. Februarie 2008, 23:52:42 Subiectul: Re: Niki Jim Dandy: Great Danes are one of my most favourite breed! Huge & so cool! 28. Februarie 2008, 23:55:51 Subiectul: 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? 29. Februarie 2008, 02:31:17 Subiectul: 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. 29. Februarie 2008, 03:19:27 Subiectul: Re: Niki rod03801: Ya know...just when I take her into Petsmart with me and the people ask if they can pet her,I tell them sure..I always show little ones how to meet a doggy for the first time,and Niki just sits right down for them and lets them maul her....same with elderly people....I honeslty have not found a person that she has not warmed up too.It's weird,she is 7 1/2 months old and she still hasn't gotten that famous "aloofness" that most GSD's have..I have ALWAYS said thats she would be good at therapy....maybe I always knew she was here for another reason..other then competing. Damien is REALLY good with old people....old women to be precises,he will just let them hug him till his peepers look like they will pop,lol...I would never trust him tho as a therpy dog..he is TO aloof with stragers. I will let Niki lead me into what she is meant to do...she will tell me.I do plan on keeping her in the tracking and obidieance part of Schutzhund tho ;) 29. Februarie 2008, 06:25:48 Subiectul: Re: Angel of death anastasia: Did you hear about the cat in the nursing home? Apparently whoever's bed it slept at the foot of would die shortly after,true story 29. Februarie 2008, 14:24:29 Subiectul: Re: Angel of death Jim Dandy: I did hear that one!! I saw that story..I can't remeber what channel but it was fairly recently that I saw it,because they put that story along with the story of the dog that can detect cancer in people by sniffing them. 29. Februarie 2008, 19:22:33 Subiectul: Re: Angel of death anastasia: I think I'd rather allow the dog into my room 2. Martie 2008, 19:04:10 Subiectul: Re: Angel of death anastasia: I actually just read something about dogs sniffing people with cancer and here is what it said: something in the cancer cells emit a scent that dogs can smell. The woman had asked why her dog had suddenly fixated on a mole on her arm was sniffing licking nipping at it. I can't find the article about it but that blew me away. 1. Martie 2008, 02:29:37 Subiectul: Re: Niki anastasia: Awww, poor Niki     I hope she is recouping well & I do believe that everything happens for a reason - there's something very special that she's meant to do & maybe, just maybe, she needs to be young to get started on her way, so that's why now instead of later  Dogs have the ability to be SO much to SO many, it would be great if "therapy" was her calling, I wish her (and Damien, of course) ALL the best that a dog's life has to offer  |
