I hope my masseuse is right and the chilly weather due to roll in on Thursday will end the abominable achey pains of the last four days. There's no reason for my glutes to have gone into rock-hard spasm but that's what they've done. Muscle relaxants and stretching and rolling about on tennis balls accomplish nothing. An hour's acupuncture and massage and two cocktails afterwards accomplished nothing. Finally took robax and prescription meds and a beanbag, which seems to have loosened things a bit, but no guarantee it will last.
However coming back from the super yesterday passed a guy walking a large friendly dog with odd black and white markings and a fuzzy coat. It's a sheepdoodle, cross between an Old English Sheepdog and a Poodle. Which would be lovely to have except for that herding instinct thing.
Then today I passed a woman walking a long-legged pure white dog whuch was a cross btween a poodle and-- wait for it-- a Grand Pyrenees. Grand Pyrennes are enormous and even though poodles can get pretty big, I have no idea how the two could mate. But they do, and the result is the size M version of a GP. Which I would also love to have, but once again, one needs to be mobile to have a dog. And if I ever am, which seems to be a fading prospect, I'd have to get an old dog because I could only manage one for a few years. Like the Queen, I don't want a dog who'd outlive me.

Well, it certainly works for cutting Grand Pyrenees down to size, and maybe makes for shorter coats on shaggy dogs? But otherwise I don't see the advantages. Breeders are a bit weird IMO.
