Passing time,,,
Hello all, last couple weeks have been hard to get on here. Seems when you get "UP" in age you start visiting the ER more often. This past week I found out what it is like to give birth (I'm a male)! Ladies I now understand, really I do, I spent a couple days at Mercy trying to pass a Kidney Stone. If you've never tried to pass a stone or had a baby you won't understand. Think of trying to pass a small stone of thru your penis? It is very painful. Always heard it was like a woman having a baby, now I believe it.
Looking for another dog to start training, figured why not have twice the fun as I'm now having ;) As soon as I get back from the Words Championships @ Cynosports in Scottsdale, AZ this weekend I will start looking in earnest. Want a big footed, long legged, male lab out of good stock. Found some people in Tehachapi that breed labs. They have a litter due in December that looks promising. Not sure of color yet. but the father is yellow and the mother is chocolate. Don't think a light blonde male will come out of them? Hope so, but a dark lab would be OK. For some reason 90% of the labs jumping are yellow. Speaking of the World Championships. The word on Andy is out, people are staring to shy away from his Junior Division, they think they would only be jumping for 2nd or 3rd place? But who knows, that's why they have horse races? It will only cost around $500-$750 total to attend this event? That could be a reason? The Junior Division is for dogs that have qualified at 10' 0" to 14' 11". This is the division Andy qualified for, but being he was, and still is, so young, he has continued to grow in his sport. Most of his competitors are mature dogs who have reached, or almost reached their potential? In practice the last couple weeks Andy has been jumping in the 18'-20' range (remember this is from dock to base of his tail). He could well jump further than the dogs in the Senior Division? Next year he will in all likely hood be in competition in the Professional Division? That's for dogs jumping over 20' But who knows, he may just make the Extreme (over 23') Division next year? Sure would like to see that. Well, that will have to do it for now. Hope to have GREAT news to share next week? 6 comments from 5 users

Well, all my life I have never took pain meds, after all i am a "MAN". and could take what even "pain" came along! Not even a aspirin. Let me tell you I became addicted to pain meds when this happened!! I tried to eat'um like candy, never hurt so much in my life. Wife had to hide'um and ration them out to me. But Glad to say after that first couple days, and nights, the pain went away and I am back to normal. Surfing the puter and picking things to do while in Scottsdale, AZ this weekend, Places to eat, I hear there is a Hooters there ;)? After the competition is over going to drive up to the Grand Canyon. Maybe take the train out of Williams? How about a Helicopter ride? Is it worth it? After the Grand Canyon going to go to Hover Dam and then into Vegas before heading back home. Hey, what about that rain, did any of you get flooded out? Know we could use more of it, but why all at same time? Well, have fun out there!!! posted by

Yes I agree, Im a man and wouldn't know about giving birth but i don't remember my wife having tunnel vision or passing out when she gave birth. When the stones block the passage from your kidneys to the bladder your system becomes toxic and the kidneys swell. Diet is the best way to prevent kidney stones, more water and less colored drinks or hard water.

I've had kidney stones 3 times also. Oddly, two times I was 7-8 months pregnant! IT SUCKED! The first time I had them they didn't know what was wrong and sent me home.....with no pain meds! I honestly think it would be worse for a man though. Ahhhh. Hope you are feeling better!

I know it sounds a little weird, but I didn't think that giving birth was all that bad. The kidney stones, on the other hand, sound horrific!

I have experienced stones on 3 ocasions and i thought, "if this is what dying feels like take me now" but the pain was most severe passing from my kidney into my bladder and I have never felt one pass from bladder to the outside world. Sweating, tunnel vision, passing out, vomiting, and not being able to find a comfortable position was my experience. The water in Tehachapi is very hard with minerals that collect in your kidneys so filtering it is recomended. Also if you consume large amounts of soda or coffee i recomend you cut back and chase every consumption with water.
