Re: My dog Yippy-- and 'helping' dogs

When Yippy was a tiny puppy he could barely hear. When I would look into his ears his ear canals were like little pin holes. As he grew his ears grew and the ear canals got bigger and then he could hear. I've often wondered if the problem hearing when he was a little pup is the reason he is such a freak out and scared of people. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Yippy-- and 'helping' dogs

Dogs are special to us! They are better than some humans I know. lol. Yippy looks just like my therapist's dog. Now I know what type breed he is. Take it easy, Yippy, don't knock our fearless leader over!love you Sharon,KateTo: MSersLife Sent: Thu, January 6, 2011 5:50:37 PMSubject: My dog Yippy-- and 'helping' dogs

[3 Attachments]

I had a wonderful dog named Petunia. She would help me up when I fell by steadying her legs and bracing herself. She would blink a certain way at me when that happened. She was such a special dog. She died in 2008 at the age of 14 and had been with me since she was 6 months. She was a Red Lab/Shepard mix. The dog I still have, Yippy, freaks out and nearly knocks me down. Instead of Yippy helping me it's the other way around. I have to take care of Yippy:) He is scared of company and runs around and around until he can get behind me for protection. He does that with everyone who comes here even regular visitors. Yippy is a Catahoula Hound mix. He weighs 70 pounds. Here's a couple of pics of my special boy Yippy. Yippy

is 7 years old and moved to Alaska with me and then back again. In Alaska he had a close call with the wolves but survived. Thank goodness. I don't know what I would do without him!hugs to all my fellow dog lovers! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

My dog Petunia was strong enough for me to pull myself up. She would come stand next to me, brace herself and I would grab her collar and pull myself to a sitting position. Then I was able to pull and turn and maneuver myself to raise up. Amazing dog! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I want a dog so badly but I don't understand how they can help us maintain balance. Or if we fall, are they strong enough for us to put our weight on to pull our bodies up? Anyway little chance in any of our apts ... hugs, Cait

dogs sense when you are wobbley and when you need help - Herrn weighs in at 120 lbs and Arwin at 110 lbs - in all these years they have never knocked me down or off the back porch - they are giant schnausers - my sisters chocolate lab Muriel accepted me on sight - she just wanted to be loved

even Miss B the blind terror waits for me to sit on the floor before she jumps in my lap - they all want to be loved and have Grandma baby talk them

my son told me my granddaughter who is 2 loves her nanny dog - Reagan is a King Spaniel and her size - he knows his job is to take care of the baby and he has done it since they brought her home

when she was a few months old a neighbor came over to watch her while they went out to dinner - she went up to check the baby about an hour later - the dogs had their rears against the baby's door - as she came up the stairs they sat up and growled just loud enough for her to hear them but not loud enough to wake the baby

I have had dogs and been around them all my life - only two have scared me - one had a concussion from running through a glass door on the 4th when he was alone at home and the other went to the Air Force K 9 detail

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

I laugh and say Yippy would more likely knock me down than ever help me up. But when I fell in the chicken yard in late May and messed up face so bad Yippy went nuts trying to get in the poultry yard to me. He was pushing at the 8 foot gate, barking and whining like crazy. For days he sat as close to me on the couch as he could. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
