His owner thought he was too obese and took him to the vet to be put down
“When I first met Kai, I honestly could not believe his size. He weighed 173 pounds (78.6 kg). He struggled to do everything and panted all the time. We often had to lift him using a big soaker pad to get him up the stairs. Getting him in and out of the car was so hard. Always took two of us and I took a seat out of the van so he could fit easily. Eventually, he got to where he could use a ramp and that gave us so much more freedom. I honestly was scared I would wake up and he would just be dead in his sleep. From the beginning, he seemed to understand we were trying to help. At first, he did water therapy because he limped so bad and I was worried about his joints with all that weight. A vet clinic here had a water treadmill and Kai did therapy there once a week for 6 weeks. It really helped with his stamina. Then we could go to the dog park. We walked every single day. Edmonton, Alberta has very cold winters, but we never missed a day. I started his Facebook page to keep us motivated and accountable. Plus I thought he was so amazing and that others would enjoy his determination and progress.”
More developed countries? Which ones are those? There's only one developed country, and we spell it USA.
And since you're not that bright, I'll point out to you that the metric system was established in 1799, and the imperial system in 1825. If the imperial system is archaic, then what is the metric system?
An all-around fail from a Euroweenie. Isn't that shocking?
tell me what is longer: 1/4 Inch or 3/8 Inch? BTW without a converter or calculator, you "well developed-American"
Well, see, Herb, here in America, we don't need converters or calculators. ¼ is 2/8, which is smaller than 3/8.
And that took longer to type than to convert, and it only took 2 seconds to type, Euroweenie.
"And since you're not that bright," what is a pound?
I'll wait here while you take a run at reading the wiki article...
Okay, you wait there. Don't move, we'll be right back with you.
Aaaaaany minute now.....
ZombieDarwin,
Interesting, can you determine the archaicness of a measurement system by the date it was established? Or should you count in the fact on what is used to come to this system. Wikipedia gives interesting insights.
On the level of developedness of a country and the claim that only Usa is developed? How is that determined? The spread of wealth, the accessibility of healthcare, the quality of the educational system etc? Questions, questions, questions.....
That's okay, Euroweenie Teeny. We're honestly surprised that you were able to figure out that posts could be upvoted or downvoted. Being able to figure out that an upraised thumb means you approve of the post *is* pretty difficult to figure out.
For a Euroweenie, of course.
So you hit the wrong button, and that makes me the tard. Serious question: are you people taking the saying, "You can't get any stupider" as some sort of challenge? Because I get the feeling that you guys are taking it as a challenge.
i wouldn't call the USA a well developped countries, you rolled back close to 50 years of progress in the last 4 ...
you are on par with a banana republic now.the metric system is the way forward as universally accepted.
And yet, we can spell the word "developed" correctly. Isn't that the sign of a more advanced civilization than a Euroweenie?
(Yes. Yes, it is.)
I work in trades. Most tradesmen I know work easily from one to the other. You should spend a little less time hiking your @$$ up your back.
put down....
