Blowout

Yesterday morning on my way to work, I hit something that was on the road and blew out my tire. The tire is not repairable, so I had to order a new one.

My car is supposed to drive around on 4 tires just like this:

I now am driving around with one tire like this:

(The bright yellow warning stickers are a nice touch)

Having to drive around with this stupid little donut tire means that I cannot drive over 80km/hr. Not easy to do when I have to take the busiest and fastest road in town to get to work and back home again. I was going to take the dogs to the agility field today to do some training, but I was not going to drive down the highway going 30 km/hr under the speed limit.

I hope my new tire comes in soon.

An Extraordinary Dog For Extraordinary People

"The Bernese Mountain Dog is different from most other dogs in many respects. Take his size, for example. Everything about a fully grown Bernese is big and strong, massive and mighty; his body, his paws, his teeth , his tongue, his tail,his emotions, his responses, his will, his good, and when they exist, not-so-good habits. Anyone who wants to adopt a Berner needs to think large. A Berner cannot be carried to the vet's in a basket; a struggling Berner cannot be pulled along on a leash; a fully-grown Bernese cannot be forced into a down position by the use of a hand-or even two. A Berner cannot be bathed in a sink, scooped up with an arm, or lifted across a puddle. A Berner slurps water with a bigger tongue from a bigger bowl (and thus slobbers more water on his folks); his coat takes longer to brush; he must go for longer walks. A Berner's paw leaves bigger , deeper, muddier tracks in the house, in flowerbeds, in the car, and on clothes; he shakes off more water upon entering the house after a hike in the rain; his tail wags with greater strength at a higher lever; he barks less frequently, but louder. A Berner bounces more merrily, mourns more deeply, sulks more sadly, resists more strongly, clings more closely, and loves more intensely. A Berner Sennenhund requires more than the little finger. He needs the whole hand, no both hands; no, still not enough. A Berner needs the total person."
