I have a, not so good photo, of the Tres in the prone position. We require Tres to exercise prior to, and after each meal. On this particular day, he was forced to walk from his resting place to the food bowl. He does put an enormous amount of energy into eating, and then he walked all the way back to his resting place after eating. Puppies need a lot of rest so they can grow into larger dogs.
In the above photo, we see The Tres resting after his lunch. Yes that is a bucket with some (not all) of his toys in it. Tres is now 42 inches from tip to tip (that is tip of the nose to the tip of the tail). Yes both ears are in the erect position, at least they are, when he is awake. Tres is now 22.5 pounds of pure muscle.
Erect and prone at the same time!
Glad we are talking about a puppy!
I have no information to provide anyone about addiction, other than the use of tobacco. In truth, I have never taken drugs and I have not used marijuana. Asking me about any addiction other than being addicted to the nicotine in tobacco, and I can’t offer any advice. Sorry that I can’t be of any help.
Based on nicotine addiction I will say, only the addict can decide to stop. You can preach at them, you can threaten them, and you can tell them they are killing them self, it will not change things. Getting away from an addiction is a personal decision.
When the decision to stop is made, that person will need support. That person should tell friends and family that they are quitting (not trying to quit, they are quitting) and when they will quit.
It is important that each friend and family member support this person. Ask them how they are doing often. Let them know you are proud of their decision. Texting is not as personal as face to face contact or a phone call. Call or even skype them and ask how they are doing.
An addict who is quitting is doing one of the most difficult things in their life!
You must be there for anyone who is quitting!
