  • Our dog Crew is getting older and getting up and down from the trailer steps is difficult. We took an opportunity to build him a better staircase from reclaimed materials to make life a little easier for him.

    This is a great addition for Crew and you can see how much easier he can get in/out of your rv…wonderful! Jess - I’m so sorry you are dealing with pain and I hope you guys figure out what it is and it’s an easy fix. I deal with hemiplegic migraine and I know how awful it is to have chronic pain. We will pray for you 🙏🏻

    I’m a tool breaker too. Recently squeezed some pliers so tight they broke. Get your dog some joint stuff, glucosamine, it might help. Give your lady some aspirin, turmeric (anti-inflammatory), black pepper (helps activate the turmeric) and honey (natural antibiotics) cocktail. You could also look up local plant medicines you could forage for pain relief, then look up how to extract them on youtube, wild lettuce is one. You could give some of the extract to your dog too. Then fill your garden with such plants.

    We had a male Akita named Koi that looked exactly like Crew! We got him from our local Akita rescue. 3rd we have owned. He had low thyroid so was on pills and got bloodwork every 6 months. He was an awesome boy, just loving and goofy. Unfortunately cancer is common in large dogs and we had to have him euthanized several years ago when it got into his spine. Love Akitas!! You definitely have to know how to handle large, stubborn breeds. But the love and devotion they give is absolute!

    Jess looks so cute doing the runway walk . Guys I buy my and dogs Glucosamine with Chondroitin @Walmart pharmacy department . Several vets have recommended it . And it seems to be very helpful. I have a 18 yo min pin and pit bull mix . Sorry he hear Jess is in pain and not well. Best wishes that she has a speedy recovery and back feeling great soon . The step look pretty good . However I would have made the deck wider at the trailer door. Just for stability issues .

    Hi Jess and Jim, you guys are in my prayers. Jess I hope that the underlying cause of your pain is diagnosed and remedied. I note a comment about fibromyalgia, do some deep muscle relaxation, like in yoga. It helps ease muscle tension and is better as you get more practiced. Poor old crew, I had a great dog who also suffered this way, we gave meloxicam, which gave her relief for the remaining couple of years. It’s so sad to see that a once active dog is now slumped somewhere with,little desire to do anything. You are doing great by him. Thanks for sharing. Jim keep doing what you are and stay positive.

    As the Rolling Stones say, "What a Drag it is Getting Old". Wise old Crew, the Inspector Crew-soe, what a good boy he is. Dogs give us unconditional love . Some say dogs are the only thing that love us more than they love themselves. Uvi is such a good girl too! Love your pets while you can. Dogs seem to be born with all the love in their hearts, ready to share with someone special.

    Just a little tip for you, and Crew... My dog got to the point that he couldn't go up and down the steps, and then, it got so bad, he could hardly get up. I was spoon feeding him... I remembered how much tumeric helped my other dogs, so I decided to try giving him some in his food, with a dash of black pepper, to help digest it.. Within 2 days, he was standing with less pain, and within a week, he was pretty much back to his normal self... I am still giving him a little everyday, and he is doing really well... Has helped me with my own joint pain, too... Hope you guys give it a try, and both feel better!

    Jess I have had sever jaw pain issues for 57 plus years. Mine came after a horse riding accident. It to years for me to find any kind of relief. I worked as a Dental Assistant and it was only once I started working with dentists that specialized in how the teeth fit together that I was able to find any kind of relief from the pain that I was living with. If you can find a dentist in your area that works with the jaw, they can fit you with a thin, acrylic splint or mouthguard and adjust the bite so that it allows your jaw freedom of movement, you may find relief from the awful pain you’re experiencing.

    So sorry for the pain you are still having. As well as spicules of bone fragments and infection I went thru after having my wisdom teeth removed, it also turned out that the surgeon had dislocated several facial bones by as much as 1/4 inch. I was blessed to be recommended to a fellow that did cranial adjustments to get the bones back into place. It took a few months to get everything cleared up, but it definitely did in the end. I am keeping you and your situation in my prayers for a successful resolution.

    I had chronic fibromyalgia nodules in my back and costo chondrites A sternum pain condition. I was led to read Mind Body Perscription by Dr. Sarno from a 60 minutes program with Stone Philips. In a couple of weeks the fibromyalgia was gone. It tries to come back when I am in circumstances that are very emotional. I take boron and magnesium for the sternum pain. When the pain goes away I take the weekends off on the Boron. Wishing you the best! ❤🎉🖖👋🌹

    Poor Crew, I recently went through the same thing with my dog. Just a bit of info for you. When I needed to lift my dog to help him walk, I used a reusable cloth bag from Walmart. I cut the side gussets out of the bag and then placed the bag under the dog and helped the dog get up by pulling up on the handles of the bag. It really helps take a lot of the weight off the dogs legs so he can support himself. Jess, I too live in excruciating pain everyday so I know what you are going through. I will keep you in my daily prayers. ❤❤🙏🙏

      Please learn about oxalates (- Sally K. Norton), gluten (and there are hundreds and not one kind - Dr. Peter Osborne) and a proper human diet (- Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker etc.) That pain comes with age is widely eccepted as normal, but this is not correct of course. People and pets (we don't see this in the wild) are a business model for B F and B Ph. Look around and compare people with people a century ago..

      I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2004. Eating dairy affects me the worst. I'm mostly vegan, but I will eat an egg here and there, hence, mostly vegan. I was in bed for six months. I got out of bed with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. It took several months to see a rheumatologist who has prescribed what works best for me. I'm a yoga teacher, and gentle yoga and walking help a lot! Fully hydrating with water helps a great deal, too. I'm still in pain every day, but I have found ways to cope with it.

    Hey Jim and Jess, I know about have to live with pain. I've had 4 back surgeries and have lived with chronic pain for over 40 years now and even found myself setting on the end of the bed one day with a gun in my hand. That was a very bad day. Luckily I didn't have the guts to pull the trigger. That was when the government decided to retire me.
    Jim, I was watching you digging and said to myself "he's gonna break that handle " and you did. When your diging in hard dirt you can't pull on the top of the handle like that. What you need to do is just work the handle back and forth just a little bit and it will loosen enough that you can pick it up without breaking the handle.
    I've broken a few myself.

    Wow...I was watching you stand on the shovel and act as a human jack hammer. It was impressive that you could penetrate the soil so efficiently when I've got rock preventing digging. So, was it the pick axe that helped loosen it? Don't forget you have that electric demo hammer to put a spade bit on and start the generator if you get tired. I know...fuel, etc.
    You are an amazing power couple, accomplishing much!
    Crew looks so healthy and young on the videos that I would never have realized he's arthritic.
