Members, Milestones, & May Madness

Hey!  So, firstly, I want to welcome all of the new members to FourLeg.com!  Thanks for your interest... and enjoy the ride!  If you are looking for some particular kind of instruction, let me know and I'll see what I can do!  Secondly, I just about forgot... but May marks the one year anniversary of the FourLeg website!  Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey.  And thirdly, I have a maniacal schedule here... I just got back from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association Congress on Saturday, and I head out to Italy to the VEPRA Conference on Wednesday, and then later in the month, I head down to New Jersey for the STAAR Conference... and just when I think I can catch my breath, I'll be on a plane to South Africa in July!  Phew... so not just May Madness, but June & July as well!

But enough about that... lets look at our line up for this week!
Member's Learning

This week I have an interesting... albeit short... video for you on CUPPING on dogs.  This video shows my first attempt to use this technique on a dog... post-op and hairless... but interesting never the less!
AND, some nifty resources for you to see & learn more (even if just for YOU, yourself, and your own messed up body!)  Ha!  Have fun with it!


The Blog!

Ever have one of those slow-progressing, tough-to-get-going TPLO cases?  You're not alone!  This week's blog is a Q & A about just that kind of case!


And Lastly...
I met a really cool physiotherapist while at CPA Congress last week... Diane Jacobs... and I talked to her about her revolutionary new technique & concept!  (But I have to get more information... test it out with dogs... and THEN I will get back to you on it!)  I LOVE the inspiration that comes with meeting and talking with 'out of the box' thinkers out there!  

And I read a great book while on the airplane:  No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs - The Ultimate No Holds Barred Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Guide to Time Productivity & Sanity , by Dan Kennedy.  (Yep, that's the real title - available at Amazon or www.nobsbooks.com.  Here's a snippet... 9 Time Truths. #1. If you don't know what your time is worth, you can't expect the world to know it either. #2. Time Vampires will suck as much blood out of you as you permit.  If you're drained dry at the day's end, it's your fault. #3. If they can't find you, they can't interrupt you. #4. Punctuality provides personal power. #5. By all means, judge. But know that you too will be judged. #6. Self-discipline is MAGNETIC. #7. If you don't MANAGE information, you can't profit from information. #8. Good enough is good enough. #9. Liberation is the ultimate entrepreneurial achievement.
The author is rather a grumpy old fart, but I couldn't deny that his information is good!  Have a read - I'm sure that time management is something we could all get better at!

Well, that's it for this Monday!  I wish you a great week!
Until next time... Cheers!
