Well.........crap........

Crash is in the weeds again. Blew out the ACL on his "good" knee (good
meaning the one that he didn't blow out about this time last year). Looks
like he's going to be going under the knife again and will have both knees
in stifle braces for the rest of his life. Poor guy. He's such a stellar dog
and we love him so much. He's so full of life and loves to run and play.
That's pretty much over for him now. It's just breaking my heart to see
this, but hopefully we can provide him some excellent quality of life during
his remaining years.

Ouch - sorry to hear that DJ. Our first Newf blew his first out, got
repaired, then a year or so later blew out the second the week we arrived in
Colorado. Watch for bloat, as you probably know, since he'll be laying
around/hobbling when he might normally be up and keeping dinner moving.

Knees, hips, etc, are such a tough risk for the big dogs, but they (the
dogs) are worth it.

that's very sad. regarding feeding, if you can feed him all day instead of
just 1 or 2 times that would help him two. Maybe 4 or 5 times a day of the
same amount. Best regards to your family.

Huh???

(4 or 5 times a day of the same amount...)

How big do you want this dog to be?


Sorry to hear about Crashbucket, Deej
At least he'll be perfectly looked after.

That sucks Deej. I like almost every dog I meet a lot more than I like almost
every person I meet. Take care of Crash.

I can't have a dog where I life (I like big dogs that need lots of space
and my 'back yard' is a parking lot') but I have two cats who keep me company
and get mad when spend hours screwing around with synth sounds instead of
scratching their chins. They're both pretty young and healthy so far, but
I know that the actuarial tables mean at some point I'll be dealing with
their very old age while I'm just middle aged. Tough stuff.

BTW - You got the book/check from me, right?

I met a guy with a 5 year Rot who'd blown out both front ACls. The Green Bay
WI pet hospital fixed the pup. Guy said pup has almost full mobility. Great
outcome, but guy had to take a second mortgage.

I think he probably meant "the same amount, but split up over 4
or 5 times a day"

Hi Thad,

We're taking Crash to the surgeon tomorrow or Tuesday. I've been looking at
orthopedic options for him. Nothing is cheap but WTF? I don't care. He's
going to get what he needs.

I did get your package. Thanks. I'm into the first 50 or so pages of the
read. It's a good one. I'll get with you on my thoughts once I finish up.
I've been falling out pretty early this week and not getting much reading
done. My workload has been mind boggling.

It's nice to read something other than some kind of tech manual for a
change. Even non-fiction stirs my creative juices to some degree. I remember
before I started getting into this studio business, I used to actually read
"books".......a lot. I also used to write songs. Haven't done much of either
for the last 10 years. Instead, I've become a jack of a few audio
applications and hardware processors, master of none.....but perhaps a
somewhat "competent" engineer.

;o)

Hey, my cats are the only 'children' I'll ever have so I'll do whatever I
can for them.

I hope you get into that book. For various reasons we are right now getting
an unusually clear look into the CIA--not other intelligence agencies, but
the only the CIA. This is partly generational, guys have been retiring and
writing books. Bit it's also been because of a feeling that the CIA is being
marginalized by the DOD, and a number of (I think) highly principled CIA
case officers have retired earlier than expected, out of protest, and want
to have their stories read. Anyone with their skill set can make a fortune
in the private sector, so the only incentive they had to keep their (lousy
paying civil servant) jobs was patriotism and since 9/11 a few have felt
genuinely betrayed and moved on. Again, you can take what you want away from
their stories, but I think if you read the books by Robert Baer, Michael
Sheuer, and Tyler Drumheller you can triangulate some very interesting things
about the current state of US intelligence gathering.

Anyway, I'll be interested to hear your reactions, and good luck with Crash.

My first impression (from the first couple of chapters) is that Drumheller
is upset about "the status quo" being shaken to it's core by an
administration that doesn't respect it. IMO, the status quo was not doing
much for us anyway so he comes off "to me" as sounding disgruntled by being
called to task for the ineffectiveness of the ongoing MO of the CIA. The
fact that he considers some of the countries the "alludes to" as allies,
when they clearly were not, seems sort of self serving and disingenuious.
Just a first impression though.

Sorry to hear about Crashbasket - your a great owner, the dog is lucky to
have you! I've spent thousands on on one of our dogs due to bad breeding
practices (I called the breeder and had let her know also) so I know how
you feel (but they are worth every penny)... I hope everything goes well!

Crash is through the surgery and in recovery now. I am now looking forward
to cleaning up after a 160 lb. dog who will be totally dependent on us for
the next 10 days or so. We're getting a spot in the den prepped to be a
doggie recovery center. It's gonna be stressful as hell (and messy....you
have no idea) and I'm absolutely and completely thrilled about it and
greatful to be able to do it.

When our first Newf popped his ACL and had surgery I carried him up and down
stairs (outside and inside) at least 3-4 times a day, but he was only
125lbs. 160?.... who needs a gym. :-)

Our Newf #2 and the rest of our family wish Crash a speedy recovery.

Deej,

Glad to hear crash is out the other side. Might have to stock up on
doggie downers for a while...

No...for Crash, not you

Deej,
I hope Crash recovers to full mobility. What can you do to keep him
still for ten days? Did you build a pen? Sounds like a full time job =
at least.

Good luck to both of you,
Tom

Harness time - seriously... you may need to see if you can rent
one of those harness systems that they use in dog grooming
places to keep him in one spot.

Glad to hear he's past the surgical part!

I always forget just how big those boys are until I see pics. Good thing Great
Danes are known for their sweet personalities. I'd hate to run into a mean
one.

Thanks Thad,

Crash is slowly recovering. It's quite an ordeal. I really haven't slept in
two days. I have to sleep with one eye open to help him shift positions and
support him when he needs to go outside. I've been sleping (well...trying
to) with him on a big palate on the floor at night.

The black & white dane in the attached photo turned vicious and we had to
have him put down. Broke our hearts but he attacked a friend of ours and
put 20 stitches in the guys head with one bite. He became more and more
aggressive and we finally had to face the fact that he was quite capable of
killing someone. Took me about 3 years to get somewhat over it. He weighed
over 200 lbs. The big grey one (ol' Blue-we lost him a couple of years ago)
was even bigger and I had to nurse him through knee surgery too in the
summer of 2002. By comparison, Crash weiths about 170lbs so he's a bit
smaller than these other two.

Still reading the book when I can come up for air. "Very" good read. I
appreciate your sending it my way.

Deej

Sad story. A friend of mine has the opposite--the biggest damn pit bull you've
ever seen who's about as cheerful and friendly as the nicest beagle you ever
met. Not nearly as smart as one, but as sweet a disposition as can be. We've
gotten along wonderfully once she figured out that while doing certain things
with her (gorgeous, black haired, ivory skinned) owner I was, in fact, _not_
trying to hurt her. Kaylee got a little protective. She also sleeps with
my friend which means on occasion I wake up to the sound of pit bull snores
and slobber on my pillow.

Did I mention the owner is hot?

Anyway, sorry about having to put your puppy down, that's always hard stuff.
Write me when you've finished the book.

Crash is doing fine. He's up and around and we're trying to keep him chilled
out. He's hopping around like a giant rabbit. Cast comes off on Monday.
