Meet Belty the Wonder Dog!
When you meet a dog for the first time, the energy you put off is crucial. Dogs are experts at reading body language and picking up on energy and non-verbal cues. For this reason, you want to exude an energy that is calm and confident. This balance will let the dog know that you are not a threat and will encourage them to let their guard down in order to get to know you better.
Interview Process: Austin has gone from Beer Garden to Warehouse to Marketing in a short period of time. When not espousing the wonders of Saint Arnold to the world he might be at home secretly laying down some trashy rap tracks. We are still waiting to hear any of them though.
From Caped Crusader to Canine CrusaderLittle did aspiring actor Burt Ward know that learning martial arts in addition to his mental and athletic prowess would change his life forever. As a teen-age, Burt had all the makings of a true boy wonder. As an all around athlete, strong in martial arts, wrestling, track, tennis and golf, combined with a sharp intellect, playing "first board" in chess for Beverly Hills High School, achieving the top 3% in the U.S. in math and science tests at UCLA, and becoming the world's fastest reader - Burt tested before the American Medical Society in Beverly Hills, California and was clocked at 30,000 words per minute with 90% comprehension (the average reader reads 240 words per minute with 40% comprehension). Burt was featured in an article entitled, "Will the Real Boy Wonder Please Stand Up" and subsequently appeared on the national television educational show "Read Right." With the help of his father, a prominent real estate broker in Beverly Hills, CA, Burt became one of the youngest real estate agents in California, and met producer, Saul David, who arranged for him to sign with a Hollywood agent. His first interview was set up at 20th Century Fox Studios, and a few weeks later, Burt was called back for a screen test with Adam West. Holder of a brown belt in karate at the time, Burt showed off his athletic ability for the producers by demonstrating some falls and tumbles, and even broke a one-inch pine board with his hand. Later, Burt attained his black belt from his instructor, All Korean champion, Young Ik Suh. Burt was friends with Bruce Lee. A special piece of movie trivia is that Bruce Lee's first filmed fight scene of his career was fighting Burt Ward. In October 2015, Burt was inducted into the International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame. Executive Producer William Dozier commented about Ward's tall size in comparison to Adam West, and the new Boy Wonder prospect replied, "I promise you, sir, I won't grow anymore." Dozier laughed and told Burt that he would hold him to that. 2 It wasn't until six weeks after the screen test that Burt learned that he had won the coveted role of Robin, the Boy Wonder in the new "Batman" TV series for ABC-TV. He was everything they wanted. All he had to do was just be himself. Batman Was an Overnight Sensation!Biff, Bam, Boom! The Ratings Soared! Burt and Adam West made hundreds of personal appearances together and were featured in dozens of magazine articles, including the cover of Life magazine. Years later, when accepting Harvard's "Man of the Year" award, Burt brought one of his original Robin costumes, even then valued at six figures. Some students came up to him dressed as security guards and told him they would keep the costume safe. Then, in the middle of Burt's speech, one student stood up and asked, "When is a costume not a costume? When it's stolen." The lights dimmed and the students grabbed the costume and made off. After snapping photos with one another in the cape, they later called Ward and gave the costume back. The ringleader of the gang? Harvard Lampoon editor, Conan O'Brien.From "Caped Crusader" to "Canine Crusader" In 1994, Burt and his wife, Tracy Posner Ward, philanthropist and daughter of former corporate raider and billionaire, Victor Posner, rescued a Great Dane in distress. From this experience, they learned about dozens of other Great Danes also needing homes. When they called weeks later to see what had happened to the others, they was horrified to hear that they had all been destroyed. Both Burt and Tracy have a huge love for animals. They made a decision, and created a rescue for Great Danes and other giant dog breeds. Located 50 miles east of Los Angeles, Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions is a nonprofit charity created by Burt and Tracy. Gentle Giants has rescued and adopted more than 15,500 giant breed and small breed dogs during their 22 years of operation. All of their dogs are socialized and behaviorally trained, and live communally together in their home. Gentle Giants is now the largest giant breed dog rescue in the world and rescues and finds homes for 45 different dog breeds, ranging from 2 lbs. to 300 lbs.Traditionally, giant breed dogs usually have short lifespans, living 6-8 years or 7-9 years, depending upon the breed. Spending millions of dollars of their own money and more than a decade of research and testing, and combining their special care and feeding program with their own all natural Gentle Giants dog food, Burt and Tracy have successfully doubled the average lifespan of their rescued giant breed dogs, and significantly lengthened the average lifespan of their rescued small and medium breed dogs as well, with dogs living as long as 27 active, healthy years.Gentle Giants Products manufacturers all natural Gentle Giants dog food which is sold in more than 1,250 stores in California, and in 339 Walmart Supercenters in Oregon, 3 Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina and Florida.

In 2022, NASA will launch the Psyche mission to study an asteroid of the same name. Scientists believe that Psyche, which is located in the main asteroid belt, contains much higher amounts of metal than most asteroids do. The oddity may mean that Psyche is the bare core of a planet that lost its rocky shell. Scientists also wonder whether metal-rich worlds like these once hosted volcanoes that spilled molten iron across the asteroid's surface. The Psyche spacecraft will arrive at its target in 2026.

Carni was by no means a gourmand, and her kitchen in the small, aluminumsidedhouse did not inspire much. The smoker's-teeth wallpaper flitted at itsedges with each oscillation of the seasonal space fans and heaters that failed toadequately circulate the smell of freon and beer through the mildewed hallways.Despite this scene, she had, in that kitchenette dabbled in the midwestern art ofthe casserole and so the oven aromas sometimes cut through the dank stench ofthe place. Chuck worked late nights at the auto-plant and always came homewith several appetites. Fried onions and Potato Stix often hung onto his beard innaive avoidance as he shoveled tuna melt or ham and cheese bakes into hismouth to meet his gut. His grease fingerprints were crows permanently landed onthe sky blue apron that Carni always wore around the kitchen and neverbothered to wash. The truck blinked through the yellowed lace window dressing above thekitchen sink where Carni washed her dishes. The door opened, heavy steel-toedboots hit the runner matt against the sofa. "What did you make me, little lady?" He asked. Carni put down a pot crustedwith tomato paste, onion paste and what looked like chicken paste. "I'm hunggry.Oh, I see it's that damn loosen-your-belt-roast beef-melt. What are you tryin'to do woman? Make me fat with all this butter, cheese and fried shit?". Carnididn't move but to wipe her sudsy hands through the slightly graying yarn atopher sweaty head and make some guttural attempt at rebuttal. "And, what on earthis all this damn red shit all crusted up on here? Is this tomater...There isn't even atomater in here, now, is there, Carn? Lord have mercy, woman." The siding of the house moaned as the wind outside groped at eachaluminum shingle and plank. After he devoured the entire pot of casserole,Chuck proceeded to Carni at the sink. His hands were shiny with the fatty juiceshe had swirled up with bread from his plate. His lips glistened and felt like coldsoap on Carni's neck. He grazed and prodded her breasts, searching for a placeto rest for leverage as he made his move. The trees outside the window cut intothe sky with arms of brittle blackness and heaved in the coming storm. The morning came and Chuck remained in bed snoring like a cloggeddrain. Carni stepped over piles of rain-wet leaves that had blown under thewarped threshold into the kitchen during the night. "Chuck, get up for breakfast." Carni whisked at the eggs and surveyed theview outside the laced windowpane. Their neighbor Virginia was outside rakingleaves. With each futile pull through the heaped amber sludge, Virginia playfullybent over and tossed leaves for her French poodle to bite at them. Her slenderframe was hugged by denim pants and a stylish sweater; her blonde hair wassleek about her shoulders as she played. Even the dog was well groomed. Theraking sound continued. Carni's hand lingered on the handle as it heated up, nearly burning herwhile the eggs and bacon hissed. Her hips were wide, her rear begged forfreedom from housedress as stickiness climbed onto her skin. Her chest was fulland aging, burdensome for her at times.Comment [JRB1]: Changed from said.Comment [JRB2]: Awkward, different wordneeded.Comment [JRB3]: Passive voice. 398 "Chuck" she said as he moved in behind her to grab bacon from the skillet. "Hell, woman, it's hot in here. No wonder your dress is stickin' places." Shefidgeted with the blue dress wrapped around her thigh. The sound of Virginia's dog barking filled the kitchen. Carni grated a metalfork against the skillet. "That noise, Carni!" The raking continued outside. "The bitch," Carni said. " You're tellin' me? That damn dog has been keeping me up nights. Youknow how I get when I can't sleep." Carni bristled at this. Sometimes when sleepless, he made his way to thekitchen for some beer. On one occasion, he decided to clean out his truckinstead. Mostly, though, Chuck nudged Carni awake to occupy him. "What the hell do you want me to do about it, Chuck?" "How about gettin' off that ass of yours and goin' over there and telling thatpretty little thing what I really think about her dog." He paused. Spongy egg hungfrom his beard. "I work all day, Carn, while you sit around here doin' lord knowswhat and then I have to deal with that damn dog now, too?" "Shoot it, then. Take your damn gun and shoot it." "You're crazy, woman." Chuck left for work. The raking and barkingcontinued while Carni paced around the kitchen and collected dead flies and hairwith her sock foot; she swept them under the fridge as she smoked a cigarette. The sky blackened, ashy dust kicked around and drove Virginia indoors.Her dog remained outside, barking. Carni went to her fridge. Empty but for a fewonions. She would need to go shopping. Outside, weeks-old laundry dirtied byweather flapped in the wind. Her tent-like underwear blew across the lawn ontoVirginia's property. The clothing stretched between two maple trees on a rusted wire line. Carniwent out into the darkened sky now spitting rain to collect the garments. Abrowned sock here, an old housedress there. Still, her underwear as atumbleweed blew along Virginia's yard. Humiliated even in solitude, Carni burnedwith embarrassment at the sight of her large drawers collecting leaves. As the undergarment snowballed with debris, Virginia's dog went wild withchase. She skittered after the underwear, barking and yipping in delight in theescalating rainfall. Carni's hand followed the wire clothesline's length withincredible tension in her palm; the wire began to cut into her flesh. Deeper it cutand soon blood surfaced and dripped down onto the lawn. Once she met the treefixture of the line, she tugged at it, further tenderizing the meat of her hand untilshe had loosed the wire. She made her way toward the dog. Wire in hand, Carni approached the dog to retrieve her underwear. Theanimal took her advance for play and stopped in its place. Carni grabbed hergarment from the dog's mouth and collared it with the wire line. Red now paintedCarni's hand.The fall bed beneath her feet crunched even louder as she carriedthe extra weight home and into her kitchen. 2ff7e9595c
