My recollection is that the animal commonly referred to as a "lynx" has the Latin name "lynx lynx". A "bobcat" is "lynx rufus".

This story reinforces my caution I take with my dogs. When I first arrive home from wherever I may be and say hello to the dogs, I am always extremely cautious around my flatcoated retriever type of dog, and to a lesser extent my german shepherd. My retriever, as is your friend's, is also very boisterous. He'll bump into the shepherd in a mad dash of glee, they'll race around the property for a bit and come dashing back to me. I always, instinctually bend my knees slightly, just in case. So far he's missed me every time. But I'd rather be ready than have my knee get slammed and bent backwards shudder. Pamela

There just couldn't be another day like this
This message is from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Several years ago, an old boss of mine rescued a golden retrever. This was a wonderful, responsive dog. She sent him away with a hand signal, and then brought him back. He came bolting back to her, and ran into her knee (in his enthusiam, he didn't stop in front of her, as he should. Maybe the grass was wet.) She fell down, and knew she'd severely hurt her knee. With her dogs help, she made it back to the car, and to the hospital. They braced her knee, gave her crutches, and sent her home. But here's the rest of the story. As she was walking into the house, after visiting the hospital, her crutch slipped on a wet spot at the door of the house, and she went down. Back to the hospital. This time, she broke her wrist. But that's not the end. Due to her knee, and her wrist, she decided to take the pain pills the hospital had given her. She started having bad dreams, and flung her wrist around, and cracked her husband across the bridge of his nose. YUP. He had to go to the hospital with a broken nose. Can you imagine the hospital notes!!! Three visits by the same couple in less than 24 hours. But this miss adventure really makes you think. It could be just the slightest change in your body balance, or even trying to adjust yourself for something perseved, which can wreak havoc, and continue to do so. Everything is fine with her now. The dog wasn't trying to be anything but a willing dog. He's so kind, and respectful, and tries so hard to please. But what a chain of events he started.

Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption

Re: PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have talked many women out of using Premarin and switching to estrogen replacement hormones made from other sources than mare's urine. There are several that are manufactured from sweet potatoes that work just as well according to their doctors. And the women seem just as satisfied with the other medication. From the literature I have read from PETA, and the photos I have seen of the farming practices used to collect mare's urine, it is a practice that seems cruel to any horse lover. Similar to veal farming. And there is the issue with the discarded foals. If List readers looked in to this, maybe they can "convert" more women into switching from Premarin to something else.
PMU Fjord-cross foals for adoption
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was extremely surprised to learn recently that there are some Fjord-cross foals being born at the PMU (pregnant mare urine) farms in Alberta and Manitoba, Canada. I thought maybe some people on this email list might be interested in adopting one of these foals, so I'm passing the info along to you all. (Pregnant mare urine is used to manufacture Premarin, a product taken by menopausal women to replace the estrogen their bodies used to naturally manufacture.) Each fall, the weaned foals are sold at auction. According to information at FoalQuest, http://www.pmufoalquest.com , over two-thirds of the auctioned PMU foals do go to good homes. The remaining foals will go to meat buyers, unless they are rescued by one of a number of groups who attempt to save the unwanted foals. One person on a draft-horse forum I read said that many draft and draft-cross foals are at greater risk of being bought for slaughter, because many auction buyers don't want draft foals. Anyway, if you are interested in adopting a PMU foal from FoalQuest, you have until August 31 to mail a contract, a "wish list" of the kind of foal desired, and the appropriate funds ($500 for light, $600 for draft cross, and $700 for draft). The details are available at the website. There are photos of two Fjord-cross foals available for adoption at: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=88874&a=12700010&f=0 (look for #49 and #02, Belgian-Fjord foals -- #49 in particular has the classic brown dun Fjord coloring) I don't have any affiliation with FoalQuest, by the way.

Sale Announcement: Felix Fillies (2000, 2001)
This message is from: "Cheryl Beillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello All .. This is to announce that we have two FELIX daughters on our sale list. WR VERONICA (otherwise known as "V"), out of MVF SOLEIA (a Norwegian born grandaughter of Grabb) won the Blue as a yearling in the Mares, 2 and Under, class at Finger Lakes in July, and with her half brothers, took 3 of the top 5 placings at Woodstock ..and helped her father win Get of Sire as well. At the conformation clinic, following Finger Lakes, Karen Maas said that there was basically nothing you could say negative about this filly .. Not only is she very pretty, but she is very upheaded, and correct, and moves beautifully. We have some video clips of her last fall which are breathtaking and which have prompted several long time breeders to say she has tremendous potential as a performance horse, to say nothing of what she may produce as a brood mare, later on. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with the idea of selling her, but I have decided I want her to go to someone who can really bring out that potential. There aren't that many Felix daughters around and this one is exceptional. We also have V's full sister, as yet unnamed (we are prepared to let her new owner name her), "W" was born July 10, bouncing around the paddock who will be ready to go in October, as a weanling. Born a week early, she is smaller than V at the same age, but otherwise is almost the spitting image, down to the way she holds her head and the energy in her trot. We appear to have hit the mark with this particular pairing .. Soleia is producing lovely foals by Felix and we intend to repeat the breeding again next year. Check the NFHR Pedigree for pictures .. I've just posted some. And of course please contact me privately if you are interested in either of our beautiful Felix babies.
New 4-in-Hand photos
This message is from: "Starfire Farm, LLC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi everyone. We had so much fun yesterday that I just have to share it all again. The Colorado Driving Society arranged for a "schooling day, picnic drive" at the High Prairie Farms cross country and marathon driving course. We loaded up "the team" along with Jeanne and Samantha Poirier and their mare, Hanne and trekked to Parker where we joined about 20 other hitches to play on the course. There was one other four-in-hand (a beautiful team of bay Arabians) and one pair. Our girls (leaders) were very "up" in the beginning, so we had quite a bit of fjord power for the first 10 minutes or so. They soon settled into their work and we enjoyed exploring the hazards, learning what we're capable of right now, and what we're not! We had such a great time. It's wonderful to be able to drive out in the wide open spaces, then explore a hazard, whether natural or man made, then drive on. Did I say it was fun? Sandy took photos, which I've put on the website. Sorry, no hyperlinks to larger photos right now, but we'll get that done tonight (I think.) http://www.starfirefarm.com Lori A.- keep up the great work your doing with Prisco. Very impressive scores! Go pony power! Beth -- Beth Beymer & Sandy North Starfire Farm, Berthoud CO http://www.starfirefarm.com

I sprayed my horses too last week when it was so hot. The heat index at our place was well over 100. Sissel was mostly soaked with sweat and breathing unusually hard. Where she was semi-dry, her coat was crusted with dirt and salt. She did NOT appreciate the water at first, but eventually learned to tolerate it, especially since there were treats involved too. Toupen just glanced at me mildly, then adjusted his butt so the spray hit him where he liked it best. Frosty and Duncan were jumpy at first, then they decided they liked it. Frosty in particular -- I couldn't get rid of him after a bit. Finn and Annie would have nothing to do with me and my hose. Since I really didn't want to stress them further in the heat, I left well enough alone. I hope they all get to enjoy the water. I'll keep working at it on those hotter-than-hot days. DeeAnna
Re: Bobcats: info please
This message is from: Kathy Spiegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just a quick note. If the animal is indeed a Bobcat and there is no reason to doubt it please be careful. This is an animal that does not normally come to a house - is very secretive and it is acting strangely. Be ware of the possibility of rabies. Just ten days ago near us a bobcat approached a home - we are quire rural and have both cougars and bobcats - and proceeded to get into a figth with the family dog - the dog survived but the cat was killed by the owner when it advanced on him. To make a long story short - the cat was rabid - most likely from a bat - Luckily the dog was current on its shots - the owners then had to make a decision about the rabies series for themselves, since they had handled both the cat body and cleaned up the dog. A cougar is quite different from a BOB cat - look for a tail the cougar has a magnificent one and the bobcat a very short one - although a young coagar may have spots like a bobcat - In either case, this is NOT normal cat behavior so do not be lulled by the cute kitty look - something may be seriously wrong.
