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.

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.

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,

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!

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.
