Hi Stumpy,
Your dogs sound great.
I'm originally from NY. I've been to Staten Island.
My dogs ground me, and make me crazy too.
Two of our six dogs were "Special Deliveries", that is, they were dropped off by someone. We have three St. Bernards, one was a rescue -- she fractured my right ankle in May 2007. Then there is the Great Dane, who we also rescued. Now I need someone to rescue me.
We are currently living on 18 acres in Kansas. There are rolling hills, and one-third of our property is treed.
Thank you for describing what happens to your brain when you have a concusion. Are you a nurse? I haven't had one since I was a child.

the older one enjoys camping and hiking while the younger one panics if he isn't on a sidewalk and can't hear traffic...they are opposites but brothers now never the less. and together they ground me but make me crazy too!
concussions are slow healing..think about the football and hockey players who sometimes are forced to retire due to multiple concussions and the long term effects they cause. when you hit your head the brain sloshes back and forth inside the skull and it bruises...and those bruises take time to heal.
