A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

Crash Test Doggies

One of the most wrong things I've seen so far is people transporting their miniature horses in SUVs and minivans. As cute as transporting a mini in a minivan might be every time people posted pictures of this I cringed. Come on people, physics!

Yesterday I found the Center for Pet Safety and their videos testing dog restraint devices with a doggie crash test dummy. The videos are a bit disturbing, but if a 55 lb dog can break the back of your seat, imagine what a 300 lb mini could do. I posted it to the mini group, expecting a shit storm to come of it. Shockingly, no shit storm. I suspect because, well, you really can't defend transporting your mini that way when you see those videos. Unfortunately, I'm now going to be worried about transporting the dogs around in my Outback.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't think minis in cars are cute!
