Pics Of Marie Antoinette

The word Papillon is French for “butterfly.” The Papillon was named for its erect butterflylike ears that frame its face. Apparently the Papillon was developed in France during the sixteenth century from a small, long-eared dog called the Belgian Spaniel or Dwarf Spaniel. At the time the spaniels were popular in Spain, Italy and France. Down-ear and erect-ear types exist today and are judged by the same breed standards in AKC shows.

The diminutive breed was popular with European landed gentry and royal courtsÂ’ ladies for many years before the mutation created the Papillon known today. The petite Papillon was designed to be a decorative lapdog. It has been reported that Madame Pompadour and Marie Antoinette owned Papillons. Ownership today is not limited to the upper class.

Papillons are excellent companions. They are hardier than they appear and are comfortable in all climates. They love the outdoors. The Papillon probably prefers to romp in the yard or take a leashed walk and rather would not be picked up and held. The Papillon can socialize with other small pets and children who have been properly instructed in small dog care.

Personality

A Papillon is lively, intelligent and loves to learn. It is loving and loveable, but is sometimes suspicious of strangers and prefers the company of its family. The Papillon is best trained with gentleness and consistency. He wants to please his owners and will look to you for rewards both verbal and edible. The Papillon is usually well represented in obedience classes and often surpasses larger dogs in learning ability. The Papillon also makes an excellent therapy or visitation dog after minimal obedience training.

Appearance

The Papillon stands 8 to 11 inches tall and weighs about 9 to 10 pounds. The Papillon is has a dainty and refined appearance with a fine bone structure. His legs are straight and feet are elongated. Its eyes are dark and not bulgy. The lip margins, nose rubber and eyelid rims are black. The tail is long, high set, and arched over the body.

Grooming

The coat is long, fine, silky and requires regular brushing. The Papillon does not have an undercoat. The coat falls flat on the back and sides with a profuse frill on the chest. It is short and close on the skull, muzzle and front legs. The rear of the forelegs, tail and thighs are covered with long hair. The PapillonÂ’s coat is easy to maintain with weekly brushing. You will need a plastic pin brush or bristle brush and comb. You can use a special whitening shampoo to make the coat shine.

Brush through the coat with a pin brush, then comb with a medium-toothed comb.

Last Picture Of Marie Antoinette

It seems to me that too many people are taking a big cut out of the health care pie for themselves. Instead of a middleman, we have numerous middlemen that come between the sick person and his or her care. And it has gotten too top heavy, way out of control.

The medical schools reap huge profits from their business, and it is a business. The doctors run up huge loans to go to medical school, and then self-justifiably become specialists (because that’s where the money is), and charge huge amounts for their services, because their services are a business. Actually they are on commission, no different than a used car salesman!

The hospitals make a profit, as do the insurance companies, health care organizations, medical supply companies, and especially drug manufacturers (and I’m sure that there are other firms that I haven’t thought of). Naturally, none of these moneymaking enterprises want to lose a nickel, and so you have the violent fight in congress now, as well as mercenary practices that are just now surfacing, i.e. paying high commissions to Insurance company employees who can find reasons to drop sick people from their insurance policies, or find reasons not to insure good people because they have had some illness in the past. I believe that these practices border criminality.

But it will get worse. I foresee health care as a thing of the past for most people in the near future, as the standard of living in this country declines as it must, as our national credit card, which has been unjustifiably sustaining our falsely high standard of living for many years becomes restricted in the future. (All our manufacturing is moving to places that don’t have a gazillion middlemen).

Then, for us in the United States, it will be “money up front or no care,” at the emergency rooms, just like third world countries. The wealthy will be okay, but the common person will suffer greatly.

Cuba might be communistic, but their health care industry is second to none because it’s not a money making proposition; it is a nonprofit humane service to the Cuban people. The medical schools are state run, the doctors are state salaried, the hospitals, staff, suppliers etc., all the same. And drug manufacturers can’t charge Cuba exorbitant prices like they can get away with here in the United States, because Cuba can shop the world. All we can shop is the Walmart pharmacy.

All we would have to do is take the profit our of each and every health care step, replacing it with love and compassion, and the health care problem would be solved, as well as the problem that is developing in this country regarding the hatred that was voiced at the House of Representatives recently. Hatred is like picking up a hot coal to throw at your enemy; you only burn your own hand.

It all comes down to greed, a disdain for our fellow human beings, and a misunderstanding on what truly makes a person happy, which is never ultimately money. This attitude of greed has wrecked many civilizations, let alone countries, and I fear for the United States. I foresee decline, and soon. The well off will fight tooth and nail to keep their wealth crying “socialism” at the first mention of taking care of the disadvantaged, and let the common man fend for himself, because they just don’t get it. When we say that we are all one, they laugh, and get afraid. Tough times are coming. And tough times have a tendency to trickle upwards, sometimes very quickly depending upon the mood of the common man and woman.

“Let them eat cake,” said Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), the Queen consort of Louis XVI. She is supposed to have said this when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat. And this rings so true in the debate now raging in congress. Key in “Sick and Wrong : Rolling Stone” for a good explanation of our congressional dilemma.
