This is LilBit.  She is a sweet Great Dane, but in her case the Great in Great Dane doesn’t describe her size.  She was born January 9th, 2014 and was the smallest but prettiest black puppy out of nine.  We noticed that she wasn’t gaining weight like the other pups, and seemed to have an eating problem.  The vet x-ray’d her and confirmed that she had Megaesophagus… I’d never heard of it!  But, it is just what it sounds like.  Her esophagus doesn’t push the food to her stomach, but rather stretches to accommodate what she eats.  Then the food just sits there, and… there is no cure.  The good news is there is a work around!   What we learned is that gravity can pull the food to her stomach if she is standing on her hind legs with her front legs up on a stool.  It doesn’t happen instantly though, so she has to stay standing up and leaning on the stool for at least 20 minutes after we feed her.  Now that she has done it for a while, she looks comfortable, like she They don’t need to visit the physician or a Friend The physician or a friend also buying ED medications via online can refer the article. sildenafil for women buy Stress leads to other health issues as well and so make sure before you practice this pill, you ask your doctor about pre surgical exercises and also ask about issues in relationship with their own partner. tadalafil 20mg no prescription Here are common viagra sildenafil canada causes of pulsatile tinnitus: 1 – Benign Intracranial Hypertension.

Our other dog Ribsy is also in the photo, and she is awesome.  She was a stray and skinny at the time where you could see her ribs, hence the name.  Everyone loves Ribsy, and I was actually offered $200 for her, but she’s a good dog, a great friend to LilBit and, in my eyes – priceless.

Thornless blackberry trellis system

Our blackberry varieties are thornless and grow more in the habit of a vine rather than the traditional blackberry bush.  They don’t have the tendrils like grape vines do, that can curl around things and hold up the plant as it climbs, but they still need supported.  If not trained, they would just grow into a huge tangled mess… get tall, fall over, get tall, fall over.  Not only does a tangled mess make it difficult to pick, but it decreases the potential harvest from the plant because it needs a certain amount of air circulation and light.  So, a trellis is the answer.  Not too high, not too low… there’s a lot of studying behind trellising and a lot of work.  These trellises in the picture didn’t go up in a day or even a week.  How many people does it take to put up a trellis?  Normally, I would recommend three people, but we did not have that luxury.  This entire project was done by one person, Doug – minus a few hours on the first rows figuring out how to wrangle the wire.

Finally, with this done, I could mow between the rows without fear of running over a primacane.  There is more babying and coaxing that needs to be done to these blackberries through this growing season, but hopefully, it will be worth it.
