Dog issues
Any follower of British Dressage forum can’t miss the non-horsy threads, they clearly confirms THAT when a BD member reaches the emotional stage in their life where a true companion is required, one to cuddle ,to love and take to bed with on cold British nights , the choice is a dog. The boys in general prefer a sausage dog and the girls most likely a terrier , although recently more exotic breeds are becoming popular with the British dressage fraternity .
This trend is in total contrast to the continental attitude where a mistress , a lover or toy boy are the answer for loneliness and the longing for a true love.
However “owning a dog” SORRY CORRECTING MY SELF “sharing a life with a dog” does not come without its problems,
Look at this extract from the forum “Our cocker spaniel who is 9yo, had for the past few years a skin issue, he scratches his legs, ears and neck and bites at his (had to delete this bit) ETC ETC ETC she goes on to explain that so far no vet came up with a cure for this condition.”
Excuse me madam the answer is staring you in the face how can’t you see it. Spaniels are meant to be wet dirty and smelly (not that you will notice), sleeping on a flee infested bed of straw next to a pile of shit to roll in whenever they feel the need to do so.
The clean bed with silk sheets in the temperature controlled room where you and your dog spends quality time together is the un natural habitat for any dog let alone a Spaniel “YOUR DOG IS SUFFERING FROM EMOTIONAL AND PHISICAL ALERGIC REACTION TO DOMESTICATION”.
My friend plump lady was at her wits end , in spite of following forumists advice and resorting to this recipe of feeding the “ Minced lamb, turkey, chicken, pork, or beef with three cups organic whole brown rice, organic chicken/beef stock plus water (total 6 cups), Rosemary, with frozen or fresh vegetables mixed in, cooked 45 minutes... added flax, garlic, Brewer’s yeast with hardboiled egg as well , her husband’s COCKER id still itchy and her CIHWAWA is covered with raw patches of skin.
Plump lady mind was so occupied with this dog problems that it started to take its toll on her riding. Her trainer noticed that her riding is suffering from a lack of concentration and focus , every day she is riding worse and worse , to day she already riding like next week “WHATS THE MATTER ?” he asked her .
“MY CIHWAWA is so sore, the skin is so sensitive whatever I do or rub on it makes no difference” she replied.
“That’s does not explain about forgetting your test only WHY YOU CANT DO SITTING TROT! ” he summed up .
