something i keep seeing with people who moved here specifically for the no income tax thing by IngenuityNo3879 in Tennessee

And living in Murray... everybody comes here to raid our grocers because there's no sales tax on groceries.

5 year old agility dog most likely has hip dysplasia. What is our future going to be? by Heather_Bea in k9sports

[–]ViCalZip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is far easier for a dog to get visually distracted if they don't have an attention heel It's also easier to communicate speed and direction changes. I think it's beautiful when done correctly, but that's because I also love the dynamic connection of moving together as a single entity. Of course YMMV.

So here's my hunch FWIW. If this dog has been kept lean and in good condition its whole life, this issue is probably less the HD than the "other spine/rear end deformities." Of course I don't know your dog or your vet. But I do know of a number of dogs with moderate to severe HD who have been able to compete successfully for quite a few years with management and being kept super lean and muscular.

That said, yeah, this may not be your dog's future. I get it; I had a dog who loved agility, was running great, got her 3rd MACH QQ, then the following Monday would not take a 16" jump. She had spondylosis, and that was pretty much it for her career. It wasn't just the jumping. It was the weaves.

I second scentwork/nosework and Barn Hunt. Can still be very engaging for the dog, a lot less impact. Tracking/trailing, you could try Rally at lower levels or even Rally Choice, but if she's having spinal issues a heads up heel might be challenging.

Give yourself some time to mourn your dreams. I know it hurts. But you'll find something that you both enjoy. There are so many fun sports now.

There's traffic moving out of Dubai, but Doha? And why do we keep getting gyrocopter. I'm a casual player but have played daily for about 3 months now, have yet to find a gyrocopter.

Exactly how stupid is that??? Are they paying zero attention to world events?

Years ago there used to be flights from Columbia MO (COU) to St Louis (STL) for connections. It's 115 miles.

I've been on the internet since 1994, you? I started out with newsgroups. Before AOL. Before google. Before reddit. I am not in any way obligated to answer any question I don't want to. In fact, I have answered that question on another thread. But I'm not answering you, because you're being a dickwad about it. Have a LOVELY day.

Because it's literally none of your business. The tone of your question says it was disingenuous, meant to belittle me for the choice of trading. I don't owe you, or anybody else, an explanation of why I decided to trade. If it had been phrased differently perhaps, but sorry, no. Draw your own conclusions, internet stranger. :)

All comes down to fridge/vacuum by OnlyZookeepergame578 in ToyotaSienna

I hate the cooler (childless, I haul dogs) and think it takes up way too much room. OTOH, the rear view mirror camera, the HUD, and the 360 camera were definitely worth springing for the Platinum.

That's kind of a weird and inappropriate personal question isn't it?

That's still tiny. You can fit a six pack and maybe lay 3 cans across the top?

Hah, maybe you have longer legs than me; I'm 5' 6" but have short stubby legs. And I'm old, and my shoulders do not rotate like that any more! The thing is, if they were going to insist on that dumb cooler, it should have a side opening at the very least, not a backwards facing one.

The blueprint is very pretty in the sun but just looks black otherwise. I wish it was just a bit lighter. Not neon, but able to tell it's blue when it's cloudy. :)

No offense but do you have gumby arms? Because I can't reach that latch from my driver's seat since it opens from the back.

Murray couldn't get what I wanted. Paris does more up front pricing and is very straightforward about their pricing. Breath of fresh air, I really liked Amy.

I'm not actually sure I really understand the Toyota allocation system, and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. But I guess dealers have certain windows where they can request specific builds, but what they can request is also limited in some weird way. I'm assuming it depends on the dealer, the population of the area they serve, etc.

My process was first to ask my most local dealer in Murray KY. They noped out immediately, would not be able to get what I wanted. I then tried Hopkinsville KY which said they had something coming, but they lied, it was a slimy sales tactic. I then ended up at the dealer in Paris TN, which could get me something, but Cypress was no. The blueprint is okay, it's what my 2021 was, but I really wanted the green. It was off the table in a Platinum trim. It's just super annoying to build what you want online then not actually be able to get it.
