Do CDL truck drivers have to keep track of personal driving time (personal vehicle) to avoid going over driving hour limits? Also, a friend is being told he is not allowed to drive home (personal vehicle) from the truck company because it would put him over his hour limit - anyone know if this is true???

one of the horses at the farm we board our filly at may have EPM - everything i've found says its not contagious horse-to-horse, anyone know anything about that? i do know if we call 4 different vets we'll get 4 different ways to treat it......

also i cannot find if it is contagious to humans at all - i am nearly 38 wks pg and need to know if i should be contacting my dr at all - i didn't have any contact with the horse but my husband was leading her around (didn't touch her just leadrope) then led our horse around (again just leadrope not touching horse)......

help???

just bought my own horse (finally!) from a rescue. 2 y/o QH filly, chestnut with a white blaze. pic at http://www.ac4h.com/Phyllis.htm

nothing wrong with her name just she's getting a new chance and a new life i would like her to have a new name (i don't think it quite suits her as is) - any suggestions??

some i have come up with are:

southern belle (NOT after Eight Belles)

wishing star

northern star

mayflower

junebug

pretty little junebug

all that jazz

jazzy lady

beauty from ashes

peek-a-boo gal

little ladybug

anybody have any other ideas? i saw someone had posted a website with horse names but i can't access the website....

was wondering if anyone has attempted/had any success with clicker training their horses? also what have you used in the beginning to associate the click being positive with the horses (specific treat, etc.)? also if anyone has any particular tips for clicker training a horse that would be great, thanks!!

I would like to train my puppy using german commands. I attempted to use an online translator am unsure how accurate it is (I think not very since I got two very different answers for the same word at two different times). In particular, I am looking for the following: come, sit, stay, down/lay down, off, leave it/drop it, heel, attack, release, ignore, jump, over, through, weave, up, down, across, as well as anything else important in agility that I may have missed. If there is a website listing them that would be great; correct pronunciation would also be great.

Any help much appreciated, thanks!

i just started riding again after a few years break (no horse available) and i'm doing okay, havn't forgotten much of anything, but the other day i noticed i was having a really hard time with my left ankle, it kept turning in on me, more like rolling really. my toes were still pointing front and my heels were down but my foot would roll towards the saddle...anyone else had this happen and/or ideas on how to fix it? i ride english if that makes a difference....and yes i checked the stirrups to make sure they were the right length and even.

DH & I may soon be 'houseparents'/caretakers for a 12 y/o MR boy - my search engines arent' working right; does anyone have any information or specific websites they could share with me that might help me in learning what to do/not do or etc? DH works for the company who will be putting this together but i have limited exp. with this and no experience raising boys, let alone almost teen boys. as far as we know his only issue is MR, nothing specific like down's or autism. not looking for any judgements in this just for helpful information, anything you can offer would be great, thanks!

My husband's armadillo lizard doesn't look right....last night when we went to bed it was laying on one of its rocks with its front legs pointed back towards his back legs (like when a human lays on their stomach with their arms down at their sides) and wasn't all that interested when i rubbed his back....this AM he was laying on his side between one of the rocks and the aquarium wall, when I moved the rock and picked him up he scrambled a little but he still doesn't look quite right. We've been feeding him 10-15 crickets every other day (per pet store expert) twice weekly sprinkled with nutritional supplement powder, he has water available to him at all times and we mist his tank twice/day.

Any one have any ideas to help?
