NoRose you have nanners. 

JSM I finally was able to catch up .. Josef.
Thinking about him .. being that he was in his normal routine with his Momma.
He was attacked in his safe known walking place, could it be that maybe he is suffering " emotionally/mentally" more so than psychically?

snip:
"There is a condition in dogs which is almost precisely the same, if not precisely the same, as PTSD in humans," says Nicholas Dodman, head of the animal behavior program at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.
The military defines PTSD as a condition that develops after a life-threatening trauma.
Victims suffer three types of experiences long afterward, even in a safe environment:
They repeatedly re-experience the trauma in nightmares or vivid memories. They avoid situations or feelings that remind them of the event, and they feel keyed up all the time.
--
Me personally, I cannot tell the difference between a Dog and a Human - as far as how deep they feel compared to us Humans. I think Dogs have a much keener sense " when it comes to protection" than we can ever imagine. I wonder if Josef is not only traumatized by the event ( him being attacked when he was off guard) but adding to it - He recalls you being so upset. Which would almost be worse for him ..because he is within his gut " Your protector".
He was within his normal routine and he was attacked .. that was his known zone. And maybe now he is not so sure what is safe to him .. and He is feeling it 3 times .. over his own wounds. Which I think would make him not heal as fast ..say "god forbid" if he was injured in a freak accident. I know you two as you have always said are Two Peas in a Pod. Maybe if you reinforce to Josef .. you're okay . he than can start to heal. I would carry a golf club with me too from now on .. or a thick heavy cane. Who would know ? I am being serious. I hope he is doing better. Just wondering how much emotional damage was caused by his attack.. because again he was in his safety zone and was " caught off guard" and mauled .. and he I am sure was thinking of You at the same time .. too much confusion within minutes for a dog to handle. It is a thought JSM, that Josef was not only fighting off the POS dog that grabbed him, but he was thinking I gotta protect my Mama. You think he is your fur son. Well he knows by instinct its not only built in to protect you, if he was not able to protect you ..he would offer himself .. Dogs are that way. They serve and protect.
 I think he may be in shock.  Still.  Nature always rules.
Deenie sends Josef a Hug

Tevye  I see you up there. How you doing today?  Hope you are relaxing and getting some rest. We are getting a down pour right now have had 2 inches of rain in the last hour.  Doesn't look like there will be much going out today.

Hey GE! Yep, I'm just catching up. There might be a homecoming game in my afternoon....hmmm...lesseee...an afternoon with all DH's old high school friends....could be a blast, or I could end up "having an encounter with law enforcement"-those we have to tell our boss about. Hell, it might be more fun to do the deed and need the cops....

We've had either torrential downpours or extremely high winds all week. Today looks to be an almost normal weather day...good day to hang all my woolens out on the line and get the mold smell (I'm allergic) offa them. I got a dehumidifier with UV light that should kill the mold...I hope.

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone.  Thanks Deenie

Hubs has to take the back seats out of the van to have room for what ever he is bringing back.  He says one thing and does something else and doesn't get his butt in rear until the last possible minute. I just do what I have to to do and get ready. Wait for him to finish what ever he has to do.  After 43 years it isn't going to change.

  I've been married 35 years and I hear you. After awhile you just shut up and accept the quirks. Hopefully you will have a fun and restful vacation     Hi Tevye, hope the work week went well for you

Good Morning.Hope everyone is doing well this a.m.
Trying to get some stuff done outside before it rains.I must have inhaled too much paint fumes this week....everytime I look over and see the Hockers I want to punch one of them in the face.  They are having margaritas already. 
I got to get done and get my self inside for the rest of the day.   
Maybe I need some of     today during the footbal game.   

Greeneyes,I know what you mean about the men and their quirks.

Trimm hope you get your things done so you can go in and stay away from the Hockers.  I know the feeling of just wanting to punch them in the face as to look at them. Whats the old country song about men. You can't live with them or without them and you can't shoot them       Hope you are a peaceful week end. Glad to hear you are going to get some rain. So you wont be so dry. I'll send you some of ours. 

[trimmonthelake]

We sure need the rain!Yikes it is so dry.
Off to get Digger some exercise .....faux hunting.

Let me join the team on wanting to punch someone in the face  LOL  On many occasions that has entered my mind, thankfully I have control

Afternoon monkeys..... new food didn't help Josef at all last night. I thought he would be okay, but woke up to another mess. Got some of that stuff from the vet, hopefully it will clean it up as good until I can get carpet cleaner guy out here to do it for real.  I went to skate and it was pouring down rain, hopefully it will let up soon so I can take him outside. Anyways, hope your day is going well. Peace and prayers for all.
