I got the Covid

[EddieWalker]

Eddie I had a co-worker that had an Akita. If he was working at night he would bring it in once in a while. My kids were pretty little and if I went in at night my son would always say is the guy with the doggy with the big feet going to be there? They are neat dogs. Continued good luck in the recovery.

I always enjoy hearing stories about Akita's!!! We just found out that Matsu was ranked number 12 American Akita in AKC this year. That's 2 years in a row that he has been on of the top 20 Akita's and he is only 3 years old. He barely showed this year due to Covid, but when he did go out, he did very well. We also only hit a couple of really big shows, which is where all the points are at. Win a big show and get lots of points, win a small show and you might not even get a single point. Matsu also beat the number one Akita 2 out of 3 times, so that added a lot to his total score for the year.

Merry Christmas. :thumbsup:

Today seems to be worse then the last couple of days. Might be that I didn't sleep very well last night. My back has broken out in hives and it's very itchy. Another Covid issue that came out of nowhere, for nor apparent reason, just to annoy me. Legs are totally worn out today, and all I've done is walk across my house a few times. Probably the most common issue that comes and goes is how my head feels all fuzzy and off. I'm not dizzy, or light headed, but it's almost like the air is different around my skull and it weighs more then normal air.

We are getting lots of compliments from our Akita friends about Matsu making it into the top 20 again this year. Here is one of his "Show" pictures with a Group 2 placement. You have to have a Group 1 win to compete for Best in Show, and so far, he hasn't done that yet. As a Grand Champion, he's probably gone as far as he needs to, but we might still show him from time to time just for fun. We are more focused on his daughter right now, who will be going out in 2 weeks. She just turned 10 months old and she has only been to one show so far. She did OK. We think she should have done better, and for the next show we are going with a new professional handler. Our previous one seems to have lost interest in us and she only put in the minimal effort, but asked for the full amount for her services even though my wife was there helping out and doing a lot of the work for her.

This is Kaida

"I also find it odd that football players can line right up across from each other, breath, spit, or what ever on each other and no mask. But it's all ok because we love our football !"

No, It's all about those $$'s.
Team owners need the revenue.
No games, no ticket sales and no TV revenue.

I think the difference is all the players are tested numerous times per week. If they test positive, they plus all contract tracing players can’t play.

The theory is only those players known to be negative (via testing) can play.

It makes sense in theory assuming the tests are correct and you can’t spread the virus if you test negative.

It is really amazing that the college football season happened and not one player got very sick or died. In fact, the Baylor QB’s life was probably saved as testing somehow discovered a heart condition needing treatment.

I wear my mask when appropriate, but the very common phrase "wear your mask in public" is idiotic!

My public, and your public may be 100 - 500 yards away from someone else.

If I am working in the woods, am I going to pass it on to the squirrels?

My other pet peeve is those people wearing them over their mouth, and not over their nose, and then looking down said noses to people not wearing them at all......

My pet peeve is "big money" says it's alright for them. But we should close down. Football. Walmart. Etc., etc.

Eddie hope your on the tail end of this. Thanks for starting this thread. I always said if I got it I would do just what you've done. Thanks!!!!

Maybe not... First time ever San Jose University seated in a bowl game and Santa Clara county Health Dept has forbidden Bowl Games as essential... so no go???

Eddie I hope you and your wife continue to recover.

The problem in my state is the fellow who signs the executive orders that we should wear masks keeps getting photoed in close contact with others at parties and such with no mask while demanding the general population wear masks. You cannot blame people when they question his orders.

I wear a mask when I go in a store and such but the second I’m outside it comes off. These masks have taught me a couple of things: I really like to breath and I hate trying to live life looking through foggy glasses.
