I spent hours in my office today. These guys were my constant companions! Sometimes Buddy was sprawled out behind me and I always had to remember as I twirled around in my chair to get up. 
I didn't do as well a few minutes ago.... I was walking into our bedroom, saw Kali curled up on our bed and was gonna do a running leap onto the bed by her. I don't even know what happened but suddenly I was face down on the floor after Buddy and I intertwined legs!!!
Hubby was following behind me and comes into the room with me on the floor. Yea, I'm sure he was thinking, Not Again, as he reached out his hand to me. 
I'm fine, but I got up cussing the dog!! Where is he, I asked my husband. He like, Oh, he's gone! LOL . Then I see him down the hall peeking his head around the corner. "You ok, Mom??" 
How could I stay mad?

We have a vacation coming up and I've got it in my mind that I'm going to have abs by then 
so I've been doing some at home stuff. The dogs are constantly amused BUT I'm finally getting my headstands down! Moo is my spotter, ALWAYS, and the bean bag is for when I fall backwards, ALWAYS. Even if I don't end up with abs (guys... I really like beer and chicken wings), at least my agility game will be a little stronger, maybe?
Oh, Sweet Buddy!!!

Good for you! I was big in acrobatics when I was a little girl. Did all the back bends, headstands and cartwheels at dance studio. And I did it at home all the way into my thirties and maybe even my forties LOL I can stand on my head with the best of them but I haven't tried that in many years. I bet I could still do it though!
Also in my thirties and forties I used to do cartwheels, like 50 at a time. All in my basement in one spot. Just do a cartwheel, turn, do a cartwheel, turn, do a cartwheel and so forth. I would stay within maybe a 10 foot little space by doing it that way and not hit any furniture.

That's awesome! I'm always in awe of how much control gymnasts have over their bodies and what they can be trained to do.
If you try a headstand, please wear a helmet and have a spotter other than Buddy and Kali!!!
Ouch! Wearing a helmet would hurt worse LOL and if I fall over backwards, I'll just go into a backbend and get up! Wait a minute... I forgot I'm not 20 anymore.
And speaking of not being young anymore , I just got back from my horse vet. The last time I tried to get to my dog vet I couldn't get Buddy into the car! Within the last month he has been having some issues with his hips and his right hind leg in particular. He just couldn't make it up into my car. I had to cancel my appointment that day. I ended up talking to my horse vet and he said to bring him in and he would help me get him in and out of the car. I had a friend go with me and she helped me get him in the car this morning. I was using my horse mount steps but he still didn't want to go up them. It took the two of us to get him in!
Well, the Vet ended up suggesting Previcox to see if that was make him feel better. I was giving him some aspirin but he said this would be better. I hope so. If it works, I gladly buy it. It certainly is expensive. I took 30 days worth to see how it goes.

Thank you so much @Alwiretwister! Now if he can just stay out of trouble he’d be a perfect pup LOL
Speaking of @LifeofRubie I took your suggestion
Rios AKC name is “Rio De Dinero” because he IS a RIVER OF MONEY!! Hahaha unfortunately flowing out instead of in. But I love him so no complaints <3. Imagine that, a German dog with a Spanish name... hehe
@MyBuddy I totally sympathize with you! Buddy is definitely amongst my favorites, what a great old man. When Rio was sick I was alone taking him to and from the vet, I also had to pick him up in and out of my truck. He was a solid 80-70 lbs but I just willed myself because I had to do it. By sheer luck only my back didn’t get blown out LOL
And because I feel the need to keep the randomness alive, here’s a dessert I made a little while back!

I can totally relate to the troubles with getting a boy who doesn't like the car into the car for a trip to the vet. It takes two of us too. My old golden mix needed a ramp, but she was still wanting to get in the car. It's harder to deal with the unwilling.Ouch! Wearing a helmet would hurt worse LOL and if I fall over backwards, I'll just go into a backbend and get up! Wait a minute... I forgot I'm not 20 anymore.

Well, while driving in the car is not Buddys favorite pastime, he always jumped in with just a little nudge. This time I can tell he thought he can do it and almost looked like he was going to jump, and then thought better of it. He's favoring that leg too much to push off.
and when you try to grab him, he just freezes up and feels like he weighs a thousand pounds. I tried to put his front legs up on the back of my car and then I can lift his back end in but I could not even get his front end up there! He was not helping at all LOL. With the help of the stairs and my friend, it's the only way we made it today. But we still had to more or less pull him up there. He was shaking like a leaf. Poor guy. Breaks my heart.This is what we used. You'd think that would work perfectly but he really didn't want to go up it.

Maybe a carpeted ramp? I made a ramp for my old golden that was as long as I could possibly fit behind the seat of my truck.Well, while driving in the car is not Buddys favorite pastime, he always jumped in with just a little nudge.

I pick the dogs up by wrapping my arms around their chests and then around/under their bum and power squat into a stand! Rio is -almost- too long to do it and Brinks IS too long but thankfully he is such a willing car partner that he flies in before the door is even half open.
Oh! As far as the dessert, here’s the recipe! I would make a couple suggestions though and that is MORE SUGAR it was good but the frosting tasted too much like whipping cream and while I love making desserts, I am NOT a sweet tooth sooo yeah.

Just now getting around to looking at all these wonderful photos and just want to say I like them all - and still haven't gotten to the other end of this thread!
Since this doesn't have to be dobe photos, here's part of the crew that I share my life with: My cat Corbin, my housemates Dutch Shepherd Reckless, her cat Ritzar, and some of the 17 chickens. They have names too, but I'll just stop right there. The fence around the back yard is 6 feet and keeps the cats contained - they don't get access to the outer fenced 6 acres like Reckless & the chickens. At almost 5 years old, Reckless never gets tired of hitting the rope that hangs on a bungee from the tree. She is my inspiration for finally wanting to get another doberman after so many years. I've watched her grow up from 7 weeks and earn lots of titles, and even though we share the same roof, she is not my dog, she's my best friends dog. So, it's a great big happy family, just missing the doberman puppy who is destined to be in my future...
