Goddamn I love weightlifting. The lifters are some of the most amazing athletes at the games. Om Yun Chol’s 168kg record lift in the B-Group of the men’s 56kg class was astounding.
I have to say the same now after this morning. One plus of recent underemployment is finding out I how much I have enjoyed watching weightlifting. Looking forward to learning more about and enjoying other sports. Alas watching the sailing didn't have the same outcome.

Capture: Dogs Love Cameras Too, in reply to Lilith __,
It’s in the mix. I too have loved dogs. But it drives me crazy that some dog owners let down their dogs by not even attempting to be responsible. Dogs have their instincts and it’s not their fault if they follow them.
so much better put than what I wrote and yes , more photos - at one point I used this for my signature -

We made the very difficult decision to have her put to sleep after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour
My Ruby had one too, but as it was very quick growing I was assured there had been no pain. Unfortunately we did not have a 'last night' as it was not discovered until during an operation on a bulging eye (tumour) but the night before the operation I awoke to find her missing from the bed and outside in the full moonlight merrily munching on a very foul smelling dug-up bone and as happy as any cross breed beagle could be.

Capture: Dogs Love Cameras Too, in reply to Russell Brown,
Assaults aren’t generally regarded as the fault of the victim, are they?
but Russell - sometimes they are incited by victim's actions whether deliberate or not. Dogs see and process things differently to humans (thank goodness) and so their assault may be seen by them as a defence.
I agree that unprovoked assaults are bad bad bad and most times those assaults are to do with the owners and dog training.

Well - very late to this post - but doggies very dear to my heart. Here is my late (and still loved) girl, another Ruby, showing her pleasure @ her favourite rabbit chasing spot - Mangere mountain - lead free inland heaven.
