don and Romona, Thanks for the aching feet tips. don, I wonder about your suggestion of cowboy boots. Don't they all have real pointy toes? Would that be a good idea for those of us with curling toes? There is a big Western wear outfit ( this is WESTERN NJ) a few miles from here. If you say they don't break in then however they fell in the store is how they'll always feel, right? I'll have to go get me a pickup to go with them. I hope no one will think I am trivializing our disease, but I had an interesting visit to the Veterinarian on Friday. I have a 14 1/2 year old Boxer dog, which is really old for that breed. They rarely live past 11-12. It was just for shots, but the dogs for the past 8 months or has had brief periods when she just start to shake a little and then lose her balance for a moment. It now happens about 4-5 times an hour and she did it for the Vet. The Vet said it looks like a form of Parkinson's, that it was definitely neurological. I then told her that I had Parkinson's, She, the Vet, looked kind of startled for a moment and that was the end of it. WI don't share any genes with this dog, but we have drunk the same well water for the past 11 years. It's not a story I'll tell my neighbors, but just thought I'd pass it on here for the heck of it.
