Who's the guy to your right Pucho, he looks dangerous :fishhit:

I knew it. Great story. I can tell you guys are good friends because the few times somebody dove on me I didn't take it so lightly. Another appropriate nickname would be "the pressure" but "la sombra" works on a couple of levels <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Carmelo doesn't use the computer much? Let's hear his side of the story!

I've been looking for a while for a solution to the tick problem I'm having with my pups. I really hate the idea of those parasites sucking on the dogs until they're full with blood, then climbing up the walls. Anyways I tried a few different products but none worked.
The last thing I tried is the Preventic tick collar. I didn't want to use a collar as I feel it gets in the way of the real collar but I was out of options. I have to conclude that the tick collar works pretty well. I haven't seen a tick attached to the pup for a couple of weeks now except for one or two in between the toes on the bottom side. Today I checked again and there was none. Before the collar every time I checked I'd remove about ten ticks sometimes more.
I only put the collar on one pup to keep the other pup as a control. The other pup also no longer has ticks. I'm not discounting the possibility that there is a tick season here but I doubt it. The reason I doubt it is that I still see ticks walking on the dogs they just never attach. This product is supposed to paralyze their mouth parts so they can't attach. The other thing is that dogs who's immune system is strong are supposed to be more resistant to these parasites. Maybe it was a matter of the two pups adjusting to their new surroundings until they are no longer stressed. Yet another possibility is that because they spend so much time in close physical contact the drug present in the collar rubbed off on the other pup. Overall I have some confidence in this collar now.

Nice, I wish there were some close up pics of the spear.

Now that's a healthy childhood. I read somewhere that you can make a nice pole spear out of those flag sticks that are used on a golf course.

Did you do this with scuba? It would've been quite an investment for a kid but a smart one.

hahaha it occurred to me but there's got to be more to it <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Good point hau. Now I'm thinking what could've been if I didn't sell the yak and tried that. Even with those balloon tires you see on my cart dragging it in the sand with the cart was just a little easier than without. Oh well, at least the PITA of taking it off and putting it on the roof of my van was an inescapable fact.

I think the lump is due to some kind of trauma. Your idea of a ruptured blood vessel is feasible. I don't know the dog's physiology well enough to deduce which blood vessel it is in the area of the lump. She could have hit her head falling backwards, it happens often when the two pups are rough housing. It started out soft and movable a week ago but now it's much harder and doesn't move. The dog's behavior didn't change, it's active and feisty. I'd like for the lump to be gone but for now I'm just going to wait and see.
Cancer is what it is as far as an explanation on a cellular level. But that does not explain why it starts. I believe it to be an expression of excess in the system. Sure there's a genetic predisposition for it in some animals, but that doesn't take away from the fact that mostly it is environmental. The key is to feed the right natural foods and to keep the dog skinny all its life. This can only be achieved if the owner lets go of the idea that the dog is suffering if it doesn't get to eat what it wants. I apply this to my dogs. I enjoy consciously giving them less food than what I feel compelled to give, and seeing them happy and active afterwards as opposed to passed out on the floor digesting a heavy meal. I say this to you with the best intentions.

So this is how you entertain yourself. It's 9pm.. hmm.. I feel like taking a long refreshing dip. Grab the scuba gear and head to the beach. Swim out in pitch darkness and then submerge to see the little sea critters. Swim back to shore and casually knife a flounder on the way. Jeff, you're hardcore.

Ascorbyl palmitate is an ester formed from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid creating a fat-soluble form of vitamin C. In addition to its use as a source of vitamin C, it is also used as an antioxidant food additive. Oral supplements of ascorbyl palmitate may be less effective, due to the substance breaking down again into its components before being digested. Ascorbyl palmitate is also marketed as "vitamin C ester."
I have a bunch of vitamin C ester something for dogs in powder form. If you give too much the stool becomes runny. If you want I'll give you some. I don't know how this compares to the injectable kind but once the stool starts getting runny you know the dog can't assimilate any more vitamin C.

Looks pretty good for his age other than the jaw, hardly any Grey hair. Worth making an effort to give him anther 2-3 years, I'd fast him for a while. I'm having a problem myself with one of my pups, it's got a swelling on its head. I'm not doing anything about it though, just giving it some time.
