In the
context of this web site, Bruce Chenoweth is
an expert in the effects of Dynamite®
Nutritional Products on his animals,
and on the animals of many of his friends,
associates and customers.
With
respect to all the letters that follow his
name, they represent a multi-faceted
semi-serious jest about the meaning of
letters that follow people's names.
"S.I.P.E."
stands for "Senior Inhabitant of Planet
Earth." Bruce suggests that this title
is appropriate for everyone who has survived
to age 65, and that it denotes that such a
person just may have a thing or two
that they have learned which could be
valuable to those with less practical life
experience. He subscribes to the Chinese
philosophy that this is the highest level of
educational accomplishment attainable.
"S.L.T.P.O."
stands for "Senior Long Term Pet Owner."
This one emerged when he became aware that
the General Manager of a certain pet
products manufacturing firm did not, and
never had, owned any pets of his own. The
fact that this person had never experienced
the depth of two-way cross-species love, and
the devastation experienced by the illnesses
and deaths of intensely loved pet friends
seemed to render him useless in any capacity
for understanding pet product manufacturing
and distribution.
Bruce,
on the other hand, has experienced the
ecstasy and the agony of loving pet
relationships since he was old enough to
toddle. At four years old he witnessed the
destruction of his family's German Shepherd
who was gallantly defending him against a
perceived attack by the county sheriff.
Unfortunately, the armed officer had not
adequately conveyed to either Bruce nor to
his canine guardian that his inappropriately
aggressive behavior was "just kidding."
Since
that time back in 1946, Bruce has gained and
lost many, many animal friends of all types,
but especially dogs. His only regrets about
these relationships are that he didn't know
then what he knows now about how to love and
care for them. It is in this spirit that he
offers the benefits of his studies and
experience to anyone willing to accept them.
Wouldn't
you agree that doing so has earned him the
right to don the S.L.T.P.O. credential as a
legitimate title?
Conspicuous by it's absence from Bruce's
name is "D.V.M." Although Bruce would
love to have received the education of a
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, he is acutely
aware, through his close friendship and long
past bachelor-apartment-sharing with an
outstanding veterinarian, that a successful
practice requires such a high level of focus
on medicines, surgical procedures and
business practices that few veterinarians
have the luxury of studying foods,
supplementation and natural topical
treatments. Where a D.V.M. focuses valiantly
on rescue and disease management, Bruce has
the freedom to study and experiment with
health, happiness and life enhancement.
Some of the other titles held by Bruce
have been:
S.Q.A.E—Senior
Quality Assurance Engineer
F.S.—Forensic
Scientist
S.F.A.—Senior Failure
Analyst
Although
these were associated with specific periods
of employment in other fields, each served
to educate Bruce that the accumulation and
dissemination of unsupportable information
has the effect of a boomerang with flank
carnivore tendencies. In other words, saying
things that are not provably true often
returns to bite us on the butt ...
...
and, one last "title" that has been held
by Bruce:
A Senior
Engineer, scholar and Master Chemist, having
reviewed and evaluated Bruce's education and
experience, endowed his corporate resume
with the title "B.S.E.E.E." This was
reported to have stood for "Bachelor of
Science, Electrical Engineering,
Equivalent. Bruce, however, always
suspected that the "BS" part might have
represented something other than "Bachelor
of Science."
