What's new?

Well... It's been raining, and raining, and raining! I don't recall ever having this much moisture in July before!

The garden has taken off... but not as much as my son's garden. His was mostly created out of poop (his 'soil' came from under the manure pile), and a little bit of dirt. I'm going to have to up my poop-game next year to compete!!!

I've started my obsessive hobby of dehydrating and freezing produce for the winter again. I don't think I was doing this until September last year. Maybe my greens are early this year... or maybe I'm more obsessed this year! It's a toss up. And the local wild berries (saskatoons) are ready to pick... I just want it to dry out before I have to trudge into the wet bushes to gather them.

So, that's it for the updates... On with the show!

But first, a cartoon!

Canine Locomotion: Surface Electromyography Insights into Hill Walking Exercise

In the evolving field of canine rehabilitation, understanding the biomechanics of therapeutic exercises is critical for optimizing recovery protocols. A 2020 study by Miró et al., published in Animals, provides valuable insights into the function of the longissimus dorsi (LD) and gluteus medius (GM) muscles in Greyhounds during controlled walking and trotting across varied terrains. Using surface electromyography (sEMG), this research illuminates muscle activation patterns, offering actionable data for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, physical therapists, and others specializing in canine rehabilitation

Have You Checked it Out?

The most comprehensive online exercise prescription platform... FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM

For over a year, I worked with Physiotec/Wibbi (an online exercise platform) to create a exercise prescription platform for canine rehab practitioners. And this is it!

I've put hundreds of exercises together onto this handy platform. You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's so much: Massage, owner-friendly joint therapies, exercises, advisement, etc, etc!

NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by Physiotec/Wibbi (and they charge separately for it's use)... and the support for the website is via physiotec/wibbi as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec/Wibbi website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)

I hope you find it useful!

Go there... Check it out!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Until next time... Cheers!

Laurie
