crazy balancing act

crazy balancing act, originally uploaded by Downhillmonkey.

Someone in the office balanced the duck on the dog's head and against a tortilla chip in Homer's mouth. Earlier, Homer stood with just a chip in his mouth and i accidentally knocked it out. (because he has hula-hips that sway back and forth) I couldn't even get the chip back! Apparently the duck needs to hold it in...

Apparently, this is a broken sway bar.

After yesterday's conduct, Homer is taught what is appropriate and what is not. Peddling vegetables is not... at least the way he was doing it!

Can't you guys see it's raining?

does he have to pee???

Sadly, no, at least not when this was taken.

These are my dogs back legs. I don't think he realizes where they are. He has Degenerative Myelopathy and it can be common in German Shepherds. Kirby is a Boxer/Shepherd mix and from his first diagnosis in April 08, I've noticed a fast down-hill progression.

"Degenerative myelopathy (DM) is thought to be a possible immune disorder of the spinal cord that results in destruction of the neural pathways."

Basically, it's when the dogs lose strength and sensation in their back legs. Many dogs, especially if they are young when diagnosed benefit and have wonderful, happy lives using the 2 wheeled carts. Kirby is much too old and crotchety for that. He is 13 this month and even his front legs are getting tired.

I guess I just needed to post this so I've got it noted for history, dates etc.

Now, I'm going to go cry.

it's raining outside!
