He's a good dog, a rescue. Loves people...

Other dogs, not so much. Strays have a tendency to get into fights.
One Shepherd came at us when we were on a walk, a mistake. This dog (Buddy) just grabbed it by the neck and held it down. Shepherd couldnt move, though it was trying.
Took me a bit to get it loose from him. The kvnt started yelling about his dog getting ripped up a bit. My adrenaline was flying at that point (Im normally laid back, barely have a pulse),
but light-up on the guy and sort of went after him foaming at the mouth. His other neighbor said he'd rather tangle w/ the dog than with me, LOL.

His own son came out and read the guy the riot act for visiting him and having his dog running loose.
The son (home owner) has an electric fence for his own dog, his father thought it was a good idea to let his own run loose.

Maybe the guy learned something, I know I did. When a loose dog comes at us, run away and try to avoid it.

This is my last big dog, after Buddy I'll get some little wimp I can carry on a walk.

Good one Tim!

I stopped training to failure, leaving a few reps in the tank. Turns out training to failure doesn't gain you anything other than burnout


"This study shows that resistance training to muscle failure or non-failure is similarly effective in promoting increases in muscle hypertrophy, strength, pennation angle and fascicle length, while also resulting in similar muscle activation in trained individuals."

Ever since I was a tot, I always had at least one or more often a couple of dogs (to keep each other company). Most of them have been what I'd term medium size dogs except for the three Great Danes. Not one of all these dogs over the years had a bad temperament. They all were lovers, not fighters.

At almost 14, Lucy, a Rat Terrier is old like me. In dog years she's 98 years old to my 78 years of age. Our walks are becoming shorter and shorter. When she gets tired, I carry her. She weighs 13 lbs.

I brought Lucy home when she was six weeks old. -Caught a lot of flak from friends because she was 'rescued' from a local pet store at considerable expense which is not PC. She is dog royalty in that she has a pedigree. My wife wasn't happy about me getting another dog and had nothing to do with her at first. Eventually she warmed up to her. Lucy laid on the couch next to my wife or in her lap. She was a real companion.

A year or so back, Lucy decided to become a super fussy eater. She eats well. For a while, I was cooking up a batch of food every week, ground chicken or Turkey, specific veggies, and brown rice. For the past 6 months I have bought her food from 'The Farmer's Dog' online https://www.thefarmersdog.com. It is not cheap, but she loves it, so that's what she gets.

Withdrawals usually go on for 4-5 days. You're through the worst of it though. The narcotics are out of your system at least. The restless leg syndrome should pass soon. Stay atrong

I have Covid I am literally training with Covid you jackass. Back and pullups are first as I won't notice strength decline I always start back with back if I have been off and know I will be weak. Then I will do some legs tomorrow and chest on Wens. Will keep it light this week really exhausted but compelled to eat and train because it is what I do

Opiate withdrawals are very similar to the flu and could be mistaken for covid. I understand your confusion

Brian, never feel sorry for yourself. Remember, if you are traning hard, he may be training twice as hard. You just gotta keep coming back stronger.

If your right side hurts your fucking liver is more than likely melting.

So you went out and did a drug screening test, while sick with COVID, on your own volition

If the cough persists for between 10 - 14 days, see your doctor. Not to be an alarmist but, COVID can develop into pneumonia. Also, look out for a sinus infection. I don't think at this point a sore lymph node is unusual. However, it can be an indicator of strep throat which like pneumonia is a bacterial infection.

Given that you have more symptoms than I did, you may have a worse case of COVID then mine. Like you, I sometimes felt tired during the day. When this happened, I'd take a nap. Unlike you, I never ran a fever or had a headache. Have you felt nauseous? I never did.

Look out for symptoms of long Covid. I have impaired hearing which is now worse, and I have issues with vertigo, both of which suggest an inner ear problem. I am guessing that is from the sinus infection which was triggered by COVID. My daughter lost her sense of smell entirely. It is gradually returning.

COVID seems to affect people differently. Mostly, be aware of how you are feeling and don't hesitate to see your doctor. Better that then do nothing and end up seriously ill. Get plenty of rest and give your body a chance to heal.
