You had a dog that was a registered nurse? Cool! :p:Widget wrote:Well this will get the thread way off topic. Sort of.
My wonderful collie Caibor's Darn You Daggit CD RN, aka 'Starbuck', decided that he is not ready to retire from the obedience circuit just yet. He has one leg left out of three to attain his Rally Advanced title. And yes I know the image that some of you now have of a three-legged dog trying to run around a ring :D: .
Anyway before his turn he's acting like a ten month old puppy instead of the ten year old dog that he is. Full of energy, barking, looking for the treats that I had hidden for later. Then he goes into the ring. Wouldn't listen. Pretended he couldn't hear the commands. Refused the jump the first time. The second time he took the jump but knocked it over. Grrrr. We go again in a couple weeks.
But considering a year ago I almost lost him I am not really that upset. He has myasthenia gravis that is currently in remission. Nasty type of auto immune disease that left him pretty much paralyzed until a few thousand dollars worth of tests were performed. Now he is on Mestinon, the same medication used for humans for the same condition. Great medication except it just went up almost $50 a bottle to $150. At least it lasts three to four months. Too bad I can't put him on my insurance.

Welllllllll.......I've never heard of a dog RN, but I understand that dogs can be trained to detect cancer with their superior noses so they DO have the capability to "Diagnose" ;)Whazzup wrote:You had a dog that was a registered nurse? Cool! :p:
Someone who completely understands my point of view. YAY!Widget wrote:My Starbuck was named for the BSG character. Dirk Benedict's from the 1978 original and only decent version of the show; not the female wannabee from Ron Moore's abomination remake. Obviously someone was confused when that gender change came about.
