Triceps...

mood: weird
I think it's the tricep I'm talking about.  It's the muscle my elementary school music teacher could have used some tuning up of...   Anyway, is anyone else out there a one-arm tugger?  I try to use both arms, but clearly use my right arm more, since my tricep is way more developed on that arm.  Fortunately, the left arm isn't flapping, but I think this realization is going to bring on a complex...

I was a one arm tugger (right arm also) but after my shoulder and neck kept getting thrown out I had to go to more left arm tugging. Now with all both our injuries our tugging mostly consists of Ricky doing death shakes with the toy, putting it my hand and I let him yank it back out.

I've found that the bungy toys have really helped with the whiplash and shoulder injuries, but they don't completely solve the problem. Sounds like Ricky likes to play with toys the same way Vic does. It's quite ferocious looking. :-)

Yes Ricky is a ferocious tugger and after a run there is no stopping him- he will tug on something and keep slamming it into until you tug.

However after tugging with London who is the king of ferocious tugging Ricky's seems tame- London would pull my arm right out of the socket if I didn't let go:-) Heather must have one arm 3 inches longer than the other from his tugging;-)

Does Heather wear a lot of long-sleeves? ;-)

hahaha, sorry... i have to laugh.

There's always long sleeves...hehehe.

When I walk the boys alone (most of the time) it's fallen that razor is normally on my right, Ruben on my left. You can imagine which arm gets most of the work! I have also torn the rotator cuff on that right arm and when Raze really started to be a shitty leash walker (about 6 months old) that arm was KILLING me all the time.

Now the arm is a bit strong, and he's a bit better about pulling on the leash. Still, I'm sure if I checked it out, my right arm would seem to have more muscle.

Long sleeves...if you start seeing me wearing them more often, it will be to cover my freakishly developed right arm. ;-)

Good for you for improving the leash walking! If we make it up for Regionals, I will be handing Vic off to you. ;-)
