Lyn,

Just the title of this post had me rolling on the floor!  <RMONF>  Then the 
comments!  Ham, ect, the cat, all of it... Thanks for the pick me up!   You 
should think about writing short stories...   I wish I could find the one 
you sent about Boots and your friends dog. <snicker>

Carolyn,

Dysplastic:  hip or elbow dysplasia. Ie bad hips or bad elbows. We screen 
the dogs for this the clearances you have copies of in your book from OFA: 
Orthopedic Foundation For Animals.

Dremel story:  German Shepherds are known for not liking to be 
groomed.  Haus on the other had tolerates it really well.  Just 6 months on 
the 14th and today I took the dremel to his nails with no pulling no major 
antics! :-)))  Was the first time I tried it on him.  He has watched many 
dogs have it done. This is big conquest.  Those of you who have seen Haus 
know how big he is already at 53 pounds looks like a scare crow (un like 
TRiX the triple sow cow) and how big he is going to get.  We hope we are at 
the 1/2 way growth mark.  I am hoping growing up in the groom shop is 
helping him be comfortable with the process.  Will let you know how he does 
with this next week when I try again.  <snicker>

Well off to eat some human chow.  Yup, sort of like dog chow...
