06-30-2011, 05:13 PM
Correct PF, Grimm is only 9 months old. He is my search and recovery dog as well as personal protection. As he is personal protection and not an appresension dog he needs training in areas other than just what a K9 needs. We spend weekends at the river with children learning "just because its running and screaming we don't eat it" Those pics are from his first day in protection class. My helper/instructor was surprised at the transformation from the sweet puppy he played ball with for 45 minutes when we got there to a leaping snapping monster when Grimm saw him try to "attack" me. He even stayed and held the "attacker" while i ran 20 feet "to get my cell phone to call help" and when "help" arrived stopped the moment I called him. but he watched VERY closely as the "attacker" was marched away.

We even walked up to the "attacker" and shook hands and he petted the dog afterwards.


OF Grimm is a Belgian Malinois on this side of the pond but elsewhere they would call him a Belgian Tervuren.

Oldfart
06-30-2011, 05:55 PM

"We spend weekends at the river with children learning 'just because its running and screaming we don't eat it' ". How many did get eaten before Grimm got it?

After further review, why not.
Father in law decided to off himself, how he got to that point is more than I wanna bore anybody with. Suffice it to say that he had just moved into a house near us after almost 2 yrs in assisted care. Got a call from a relative who had been helping him out, unable to make contact. We dash over, find the doors unlocked, him & a bloody mess in the living room floor. An almost legible note nearby. Not a sight I'll soon forget.
Nearly 4 hrs of standing around answering questions for the cops, plus trying to calm little sister in denial. At the funeral, same sister shuns & pisses off entire family, since it's all about her.

Oh, & I had to arrange for wife's b-day gala 1 week after the funeral. Lotsa nice presents from her family...not. All things considered, she's handling it very well, & I've never been prouder of her. But it's gonna be an interesting next 12 months, as the estate grinds its way thru probate.

I never thought I'd be grateful for the fact that all my family is gone, & I don't have to deal with this crap any more.

Scotz, that severely sucks. Unfortunately there is always someone in the family that no matter what the situation, it's all them. I agree though, keep an eye on your wife since there is no telling when she might "break". Hope it all works out though.

scotzoidman
07-16-2011, 03:31 PM
Zoid, may I ask who was the "we"? I hope that didn't include his daughter.Alas, it did exactly. She was the first one in - I was forced to take a closer look because 911 op insisted on knowing if he was breathing. Hell, dried blood all over, that unmistakable smell of death in the house (pretty sure he'd been dead since early morning.

If there is ANYWHERE that words and acts 'don't count', it is funerals. :cool: SIL might get a pass if this was her first offense, but it was just the latest installment of her ongoing soap opera. Covering all her crimes & misdemeanors of the last couple years would take more time to describe than I've got.

I do appreciate everyone's best wishes, & as for the wife possibly breaking down at some point...I really feel that she's got a sense of closure now, in a troubled relationship with both her parents; she's got over 50 yrs of practice in this game, & for over 36 of those years, I've gotten pretty good at helping her pick up the pieces when she does crack.

She had visited him the day before, & for all the hard feelings that came out, when she left him they were laughing & joking with each other, even making plans for us to bring #2 son over to clean his gutters. She's OK with the knowledge that he's at peace now, all the demons that made him such a bastard can't get at him now. And that's enough for me to be OK as well.

pretty much. The government thinks I'm too able to be considered disabled, my body tells me I'm to disabled to work. Constant round and round, and it sucks bad. Especially when I decided to ignore my body and go back to work, and had to quit after just 3 days (at only 4 hours each day, since it was only a part time) because it just made my back worse. So, even though my doctor said I could do that type of work, my body proved him wrong.

So, it's off to get an disability lawyer and go that route, unfortunately.

And, considering how often I can get to a computer that will allow me to check Pixies (for some strange reason, the local library frowns on visits to Pixies :rofl:), it'll probably be another 2-3 months before I get back here with any update.

Being without internet at home sucks badly :curse: :boohoo:

Just to catch up. I would like to be here more than once a year. Friend in Ohio had a stint put in a main artery to her heart. 90% blocked. She's had no energy to clean or anything in her apartment. I flew up there for 2 weeks to take her for the surgery and to get her apartment in order. We took 67 bags of trash and boxes out of that little handicapped apartment. ALso took 3 large car loads to the Goodwill. She is doing beter now and can actually get some things done. What was left to do was the personal stuff that has to be taken piecemeal, etc...I'm not tooting my own horn, but she needed the help. I think I mentioned previously that my mom has cancer and now they think she might have Parkinson's too. She has gout in her left knee and is losing weight again. She's pretty much skin and bones now. Our older dog, the black lab/greyhound mix was just diagnosed with lymphoma and we started him on chemo this morning. We just got the news last night. We are already booked to go away for the weekend and the kennel we use is right around the corner from the vet. They both know each other and that works out great. Plus, he (dog) really likes the guy that runs the kennel. So he's comfortable and happy. Wolfdog is beside herself being there. Outdoors, 2 male turkeys within reach....(snack food). I had a mole removed from my back and am waiting to hear what the lab results are. Hub is looking forward to the weekend....HAM radio convention thing. When I was up in Ohio, I went 2 weeks without TV or the Internet. I have to tell you...I didn't miss it a bit. Clearing out her apartment cured me of clutter and wanting to buy things and all of that. I took 3 carloads to the goodwill and 2 loads up to the used bookstore. Well, that kind of catches up what I'm doing and where I've been. Kind of missed the give and take here. Ciao, all!

Good to hear from you, Mae. Please let your friend know there are folks here thinking and praying for her speedy recovery.

Where've I been? Well, last night went to watch the Peoria Chiefs (baseball team) beat Burlington, Iowa 5 to 3. It's too bad IAKG isn't logged in, I could tease her. :)

pretty much. The government thinks I'm too able to be considered disabled, my body tells me I'm to disabled to work. Constant round and round, and it sucks bad. Especially when I decided to ignore my body and go back to work, and had to quit after just 3 days (at only 4 hours each day, since it was only a part time) because it just made my back worse. So, even though my doctor said I could do that type of work, my body proved him wrong.

So, it's off to get an disability lawyer and go that route, unfortunately.

Personal experience tells me that that is SOB (standard operational bullshit) for getting disability from the govt. Few years back, I went thru the same nightmare; about 2 1/2 yrs passed between initial claim being filed & winning my appeal, couple more months for the first check. At first I thought that they assume that if your disability can't be seen, it doesn't exist, but a cousin actually lost an arm in an auto accident, & she had to lawyer up as well :huh: Really?!? These guys don't even see there's nothing there past the elbow?

Anyway, SF, here's hoping you have at least as much luck as I had (too late to wish you better luck :frown: ), but here's a happy thought for ya: if/when you do win your appeal, they have to pay you back pay from when they should have been paying before. Nice little lump sum to get.

Of course, it's gonna be 3 months till you read this, but hey...

Actually, not quite, scotzoidman. I needed to do some internet research, so I managed to get the use of a non-public computer for a while.

And it looks like the lawyers that I have are right on the ball, as they called me the same day I applied through their website, and then twice more since then to get my medical history and to inform me that they have definitely accepted my case (and gave me a case manager) as well as give me advice and let me know what I need to be doing until I can get a hearing with Disability

That's good...keep in mind, the wheels turn slowly (I think they drag their feet hoping the applicant will die before any payout :mad: ), but you will be allowed (& encouraged, actually) to take on some part time work even if you win your appeal. Hang in there.
