THE ANUBI BARKING IN SICILIAN.

Anubi of Egypt could be represented in animal form or mixed form (with a human body and animal head) and was one of the most important deities of ancient Egypt. The animal that symbolized Anubi has been identified differently as a wild dog, an Egyptian wolf or, more traditionally, a jackal, but in reality it is impossible to say for sure what species it belonged to, because the physical characteristics that distinguish it belong to somewhat all three species. It seems, however, that the Egyptians had no interest in specifying their nature precisely, and studies conducted on mummies found in sacred animal necropolis in Anubi have revealed a mixture of various canine species. Also, the black colour that characterizes it has no reference to the physical reality of the animal, but it falls within the symbolism of colours. Black is for us the color of night and death, but in Egypt it was above all the color of regeneration and rebirth because the limo, fertile mud that the Nile laid on the earth after the flood, was a dark mud, almost black, that contained life and life rebirth of nature.
The Cirneco dell'Etna or Anubi dell'Ethna is even descended by Anubi, the Egyptian deity protector of the world of the dead. This is where Cirneco dell'Etna gets his label of "Pharaohs Dog". He would have been brought to Sicily by the Phoenicians, who would have used the dog from the valley of Egypt as a precious object of exchange. The Etna Cirneco, whose origins would then date back to 1000 B.C., seems to have a direct lineage with the dogs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs of the last dynasties. The characteristics of Etna’s Cirneco’s fingers make it one of a kind: it can easily walk in volcanic areas, making Etna the favorite place for daily life. He’s a docile animal with humans, but if he gets a rude one he’ll hardly be able to forget: a full-fledged Sicilian, so... Cirneco dell'Etna is a hunting dog, has always been employed, particularly, on the slopes of Etna. Beautiful!

SECRET SANTA DOG
This is super easy and so fun!!
I’m giving this a try as I think it can be fun. Worst case is I’m making a dog happy by sending them a toy - what can be better than that? No pressure to participate, I tagged a few dog people….If I didn’t tag you, you are still welcome to join!
I’m looking for dog owners interested in a holiday gift exchange. Doesn’t matter where you live in the U.S. - you are welcome to join! You have to buy one gift valued at least $10 and send it to your secret dog. (Hello Amazon!). Your dog will receive 6-36 gifts in return. And the great thing is you can keep them or donate them! A present will brighten their day (and the owners too). We could all use some happy mail.
Let me know if you are interested and I will send you information about how to play for your dog.
Just comment I’m in!

Canine Joints: ANGULATION refers to the angles created by bones meeting at various joints (articulations), especially at the shoulder (A) and pelvic areas (B) and the stifle (C), hock (D), pastern (E) and at the elbow (F).

BONE comprises the structure of the skeletal system and provides lever arms for locomotion. Bone also plays important roles in maintaining mineral homeostasis (the balance of minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus). The bones must supply sufficient area for the attachment of the muscles. Smooth muscles account for one-third to one-half of the total body weight.🐾
