I need a massage

[Calamity Jane]

Great foxhunt yesterday... lots of chases, spent most of the day airborne... one chase was 20 minutes at a hard gallop... and gods my body is sore! My shoulders, my hands, my calves, my ass. My whole body was screaming when I got out of bed this morning, and it's been moaning all day.

So what do I do today, when I'm completely physically worn out? Decide to clean the house of course! 9 loads of laundry washed and hung on the line, then folded and put away. 3 sinkfulls of dishes... cleaned the kid's room... vacuumed the livingroom rug, mopped the kitchen, swiffered all the floors...

Why do I abuse myself like this?

At least you got sore having fun. I think I pulled something shoveling snow yesterday. I'm having to drink left-handed today because I can't bring my right hand up to my mouth without pain.

 

[Calamity Jane]

And how does the fox feel today?

Probably pretty damn fine. All the scents we got were old, and didn't pan out. Which is why we had lost of chases. I'm pretty sure the fox was sittin safely at home in his den laughing his lil red ass off at the silly humans, horses and dogs chasing the trail he left hours before!

oh yea I am sure the lil fox is just laughing his ass off

Ah-h-h-h! PCG...

Do you prefer natural or vibrator enhanced? I have a portable massage table, and good selection of oils too. Just lay down and relax, and I will put some quiet jazz music on. I'll start at the base of your skull, while my hot packs can warm and relax the back muscles. Then, I'll move to your feet and work my way up your body, until I am back at your neck. Lots of gentle rocking too, to help your body float on the table.

If you don't mind the vibrator action, I will use my newest addition, a bio-pulser. It sounds like a jackhammer, but it works wonders. You will be in lala land in no time. We only need about 2 hours of quiet.




Since I'm not free tonight, try a foot massage on yourself. Use an oil and just try to relax while maintaining proper posture. Work about 15 minutes on each foot, focusing on the soft tissue along the inside of your feet (from your great toe to your heel) This will really pay dividends.

Re: oh yea I am sure the lil fox is just laughing his ass off

since he wasnt running for his life
or
scared shitless by the chase.

Ok, before you get upset on behalf of the poor lil fox.

1) In the past 6 or so years, we've only caught ONE animal... not a fox, a coyote, and he was extremely ill... very thin, almost no winter coat, open sores on his skin... and we put him down.

2) The hounds really don't stand a chance of coming close to catching a healthy fox or coyote, they're too smart, too fast, and seem to know exactly where we can and cannot ride. More often than not, we see them lazily trotting through a field that we don't have permission to ride in after leading us on a merry chase. If it's a gray fox we're chasing, he just climbs a tree when he's done running and watches us ride by.

It's sport. And one in which the coyote/fox/cougar/bobcat has the advantage in.

I am sorry Pagangirl but I dont agree

 

[talk2024]

I remember hearing a quote from a hunting club to the effect that no member could ever remember ever catching a bloody fox. If caught, perhaps it would be cruel; it sounds more like a good workout for the fox, or more accurately for the hounds.

btw, I've been told that I'm very good with my hands... when do we get started?

 

[Siren]

A good workout for the fox?

*cracks knuckles and grabs the oils*

Well now, I'll see what I can do! I'll warn you, I'm a bit rusty from being out of practice for a while, I may only be able to keep it up for a couple hours. But I'll try my best!

Be Well,
mae

Never having witnessed such an event...

I'm not prepared to judge absolutely. However, the chase of a fox by hounds is relatively the same as when my dog used to chase squirrels in the back yard... without a hope in hell of catching them. It's an event, but the foxes, from what I know, are safe. It really shouldn't be called a hunt.

Re: I am sorry Pagangirl but I dont agree

It is wrong.
I just dont agree with it.

Of course, dear sirenita, you have every right to believe as you do. But have you ever witnessed a hunt? Met these 'vicious slobbering dogs'? Seen a coyote or fox sit calmly on top of a rise watching the hounds approach and then disappear into its den with no sign of fear?

When the hounds stop hunting, we adopt them out to families. They're far from vicious. They're well cared for, highly trained dogs.

In the winter, we feed the foxes and coyotes, lace the feed with wormer, count babies when possible to make sure they're healthy. We've no desire to do harm to the animals we chase.

How do you KNOW these 'poor innocent animals' are scared out of their wits? I've seen 'em. And they're not running for their lives. They're usually trotting through fields with their tails up. They know they're being chased, and they know we're not gonna catch 'em.

Believe as you wish darlin. *shrug* This particular tree hugger has nothin but respect for the wily and elusive quarry. And no problem at all chasing him once a week.

Pagangirl, thank you for your respect and class in your answers to my criticism

Re: Pagangirl, thank you for your respect and class in your answers to my criticism

It is appreciated.
we can agree to disagree and still be friendly and respectful.

Of course we can. Cuz I know you're a smart chica with wonderful thoughts. (How's that for an ass kissing? )

May I suggest an excellent novel about foxhunting? Outfoxed By Rita Mae Brown. Other than being a good book, it sheds a lot of light on American Foxhunting.

And to everyone else... bring on those hands!

How about we chase lil kids around with vicious slobbering barking dogs

I've got a couple down the street if you want to try it! They seem to take great delight in tormenting my dog when he's tied up outside. We'd both like a little retribution!

LOL
