A shopper wants to know…

Is my dog really 3? or a lot older?

We adopted a Female GSD almost two months ago. They said she was 3, and they gave us her recent vet records with her Birthday on it. They only had her for six weeks, they took her in with another Male GSD that was 1. They were living in a pretty bad home, she was being bred so they could make money off the pups. They fed them table scaps, and I am pretty sure they did not take them to the vet.
Since we took her in, we feed her ‘Diamond’ dog food, and she is UTD on shots, she itches a TON we give her Benadryl which is not helping, give her oatmeal bathes, conditioning spray, I brush her teeth, she is spoiled! She is great! But she lost two of her bottom teeth, then the other day another one fell out! She cries (moans) sometimes when she gets up, or has to get on the bed or back of the car (smaller SUV) She does not act like a vibrant 3 yr old. She seems to be 7 or 8 years old. My Mother doesn’t think she is 3. She said she has to be a lot older. We are keeping her no matter what, but we want to know if there is a way to find out? So we have an idea. She has an orthipedic bed we got for her, to make her more comfortable. Now lately she has been going in our Sons room and going under the tent part (it is a canopy bed that looks like a tent) and laying under there. Almost like she is going off to die or something. We are getting really scared. All of us would be devastated if she was about to pass away.
If your just going to respond in a stupid way, then don’t bother. I have taken her to a vet since we got her. She didn’t say anything about her age. She treated her with antibiotics for a infection she had when I adopted her. I am asking if there is anyone here that has had an older or younger GSD and basically how they acted at 3 and an older age. But getting on YA and asking a question, is the same reason you get on YA and ask a question. why do you answer if you think ppl shouldn’t listen to strangers?!
thanks Paul! the above statement wasn’t geared towards you either! :)

Up to about 8 months old, checking how many teeth a pooch has and whether they are deciduous teeth or permanent teeth, can be accurate within a fortnight.
After that one has to estimate from the condition of the teeth. But THAT is affected by the type of diet the pooch has had, whether it has had particular diseases (such as distemper or gingivitis), as well as whether its genetics are for very hard teeth or fragile chalky teeth.
However:
• Add http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source to your browser’s Bookmarks or Favorites so that you can easily look up such as feeding, vaccinations, worming, clubs, weights, teething, neutering, disorders, genetics in the public section.
Then click its Links => Teeth to read the indicators.
And next time you take her to the vet, ask the vet to estimate her age – to see how it compares with your guesstimate and the one at the shelter.

Teeth falling out:
Was it the WHOLE tooth, or just the top – the part above the gum line? One of my studs broke all 4 of his his canines (the long curving fangs) – when a bit.ch was in season he would push and pull at a mouthful of hurricane mesh until it or his tooth snapped (4 times he succeeding in making a hole in the wire between runs, and getting through it to make whoopee….)
I can’t imagine a bit.ch having a litter BEFORE her deciduous teeth have been replaced, so it sounds as though she has had a VERY calcium:phosphorous-deficient diet – probably has a gum disease as well.

The moaning when having to climb up is VERY indicative of hip dysplasia – sorry about that. But the only way to be certain about HD is have hip xrays taken. And there ARE other things, such as ankylosing spondylitis and a spinal stenosis, that can cause pain when the back has to be flexed for power.

Nothing wrong with cooked table scraps (except baked/roast bones), but raw meat should be the main part of a dog’s diet. If you MUST use a kibble, check in the Links => Feeding section of the group linked to above to see how to compare different brands.

• To ask about GSDs, join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with GSDs. Each group’s Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos.

Dinosaurs and ’round earth’ in bible?

How is the bible able to describe dinosaurs and a round earth?

Job 40:15-18
“Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron.”

Isaiah 40:22
“He [God] sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.”

(See also other parts of Psalms and Job)
Have you seen any elephants with a “tail like a cedar”? If you know of any animal that fits this description, I would love to hear it.

There is nothing here to say it does either. The Bible is not always to be taken literally and especially not by people of modern times who have no knowledge and education in the language and use of the language of the ancients.

Job 40:15-18

Thou judgest what thou does not understand and from thy judgment comes error. This section could just as easily refer to an elephant, which would be a behemoth to ancient peoples.

Isaiah 40:22

Circles can be flat too.

Does the Genesis account of creation agree with quantum and space physics?

A smart dude remarked that how could plants survive when the they were created before the suns and the starts were created.

Then God said, Let there be light and there was light (in form of radio waves). And God saw the light and God saw the light and that it was good. And God separated the light from darkness. Ha! (He formed from the radiation gas particles.
hv = Energy
E= mcc
In that way God brought light out of darkness(the ancients could not have seen this), visible light out of radio waves. Evidence of the radio waves are the hiss of residual radiation that is recorded by antennae set up to observe stars.

This light from the gas columns were able to support the plant life on earth. Then later from the light God created stars and the sun and around these stars was darkness.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide day and night. The result was that the incandescent gases formed balls of gases.These became the lights and this is latter part was observed recently.

Researchers can’t explain how what they’re calling the “impossible” star came to be. The star was discovered in a star-forming cloud in the Milky Way Galaxy called RCW 120. And here’s the coolest part: Even as a baby star, it is already eight to ten times larger than our sun, and it’s still feeding on the gas and dust clouds around it. The star is set to be one of the biggest and brightest stars in our galaxy within the next few hundred thousand years — meaning, this star won’t ever be a part of our lives. But hey, if movies are still around in the way future, this gigunda star should seriously considering signing with a talent agent.

How did that get there?
That’s not the only unexplained mystery in space. That same Herschel infrared telescope also picked up an enormous hole in space. A story from Space.com has a scientist noting, and we quote, “No one has ever seen a hole like this.” The surprising find is confounding scientists because it is so unexpected. When a star forms, it’s surrounded by gas and dust. (See above.) But how a newborn star shakes off the space debris to emerge from its birth cloud hadn’t been fully understood. Until now: Black patches near the stars were always around a reflective gas, NGC 1999.

Everyone figured the black patches near the star were gas, but the telescope would have picked up on that. Finally, scientists realized they were looking at a big, empty hole where the space dust used to be — possibly caused by some of the young stars puncturing a hole with the jets of gas. For researchers, this amazing discovery is a helpful step into understanding how a star is formed.

Heck they may not know how it was formed but some one knew. The thing is no bright flash of light has been observed. Not only that while Europe was saying the world is flat Isaiah has hundreds of years talked of what the people who went to the moon observed.

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth… he who stretched out the heavens like a canopy like a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40.22. Who would have known the most stable shape of the universe by scientists account would be a saddle shaped universe? Did not space men see the circle of earth as they sped towards the moon? If the bible were fiction would it not say that the earth was square or something? Or that the universe is not being expanded? Someone up there knows a lot more than you.

Hope that answers a smart top contributor who thought that this was an oops. The jokes on you dude.
Firstly all you guys are all very intelligent and there isn’t enough room here to deal with your questions especially the detailed answers. As for why did God go through a process? To demonstrate his power. So that guys would observe things with their expensive telescopes and be baffled then he would say I told you so.

The theory of big bang theory is like a rookie dude hitting a hole in one in all the eighteen holes of Augusta during a hurricane.

As for matter being there we would have to ask what caused the big bang to happen when it did. Why did it happen earlier or later? Why was there a big bang and not several big bangs? And why don’t we have big bangs these days?

In future my guess is that we will observe incandescent gas clouds forming in areas where there is no matter, IR radiation absent.
As for accounts of creation there is only one which I know of the animals before man, the other one belongs to the top contributor. The one in chapter 2 and three does not say that man was created before creatures but only that after man was created they were brought to him for naming. Don’t rush like a bull, there might be a wall behind the red sheet.
As for the Babylon dude, I actually enjoyed reading your answers. In an earlier debate, I put it that the bible accounts of Jesus surpass the uncertainity principles best expectations. That is the product of error in position dx and a property of the particle ie velocity dv should be h/4pie. With Jesus the product was 0. In your case you aren’t even sure about what took place at the big bang dv and even absolutely uncertain where it took place dx. The creation account is more believable than the big bang thing and backed with observation today. Dudes I expected my argument to fall to pieces under your barrage but what you have told me is that you don’t know what happened using technical language.

As for the Babylon thing. You cannot reach space building a tower. This one probably reached 50meters before the futile attempt was scuttled. The information which you gave me is good bit it wasn’t known to the Babylonians. Voting on Friday.

Einstein and Bohr were at odds with each other. QM was for probability. God doesnt play dice said Einstein. QM and GR were at odds. He tried to find an equation to bring both together the GOD EQUATION. This is what you call the unifying theory which as elusive as the Loch Ness Monster. The big bang falls under QM but God is outside QM according to Heisenberg.

Besides the Universe is so intricately balanced that anything less than intelligent creation is a unintelligent guess.

This is the realm of Theology and/or Metaphysics. Our current understanding of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity allows us to push back to within a few nanoseconds of the Big Bang. Until we can unify QM and GR, we cannot know the Big Bang itself. Nor, can we see to before the Big Bang. There may not even be a “before.” Everything started, time, space, matter, energy, everything at the Big Bang.

The following statements are equivalent:

God always existed.

Time, Space, Matter, Energy always existed.

Where did God come from?

Where did Time, Space, Matter, Energy come from?

God came into existence with the Big Bang.

Time, Space, Matter, Energy came into existence with the Big Bang.
Perhaps it came from

Vacuum Energy

Perhaps 2 “Branes” collided

Point is: It all depends on how you INTERPRET scripture. So, the question to you is: ” Can Scripture be interpreted? Or is it the literal Word of God? It means what it says and CLEARLY says what it means?”

Do you agree or disagree with the following?

Is the Tower of Babel a myth? Can’t prove it, but it sure smells like one. You can’t get to Heaven by building a tower. Assume you could. What does Physics and Engineering tell us about what would be necessary?

1) Maximum height of a masonry structure of the time is 3 times its width ===> You would need to move a mountain of material to build a tower over 1000 feet high. (Why not just climb the nearest mountain?)

2) A tower over 12000 feet (A cone 4000 feet in diameter, over 1.86 * 10^9 yd^3 of material) requires oxygen for the workers. A technology not available at the time.

3) A Tower over roughly 18,000 feet requires oxygen and cold weather gear. Technologies not available at the time.

4) The army of workers needed is larger than the available work force.

Which leads us to: Why did God bother to confound the languages? The project was doomed by Physics already in place. Thus, it is likely a myth of the form of, “How the Leopard Got its Spots.”

earwigs are invading!?

this year we are doing some stay-cationing and have a tent set up in the far part of the backyard. every single night the pockets that the tent poles go through and beneath the canopy gets a disturbing number of earwigs. ive never had this problem camping before. i dont mind them in the gardens but every morning im having to knock them out, fortunately to date only 3 have made it into the tent but its the number on the outside thats grossing me out. i know they dont bite and i dont want to spray my entire yard. i need something i can spray directly on the tent or around it to keep them from camping out with us.

CanopyTentStore.com Staff Says:

Quite possibly you’ve setup your tent on top of a colony of earwigs. They like damp, shady spots. First I’d try moving your tent. The recommended treatment for earwigs is to spread Boric Acid, but you don’t want to be sleeping on or by that. You might try treating the tent with Permethrin, a long-lasting insecticide that’s generally safe to treat clothing, allowing it to dry thoroughly before using the tent.
