Many think that the sheer number of matches Nadal has played going the distance in every tournament plus the olympics, combined with his brutal playing style has just taken its toll on him physically and mentally.

The only new additions to my family were 13(!) Bull Mastiff/Belgian Shepherd pups six weeks ago courtesy of the beautiful Daisy Duke and that rascal shepherd Julius Caesar. We're in the process of hooking them up with good homes right now as our dog family is at full capacity. They had a litter of ten in January and we kept one male, The Outlaw Josey Wales who is already at 125 lbs and catching up to his mother, now a bit light at 145 after giving birth. We definitely have to get her fixed this time - 13 playful, hungry little furballs are quite a handfull!
