TK....my favorite wife and I are "dogsitting" this weekend.  It is a high-energy chocolate lab.  I'm not high-energy...at least the dog plays well with ours!

Dog seems the job of the day...
Jake my buddy had to have surgery yesterday , small fleshy growth in what would be an Armpit on a person
He's home doing well , but the incision looks like a Foot ball lacing in size 

They figure it is benign, still gotta watch him so he does pop a stitch

Got the animals to the fair without incident. The gelding had to roll in the stall once we got there. So, we'll have to touch him up Friday morn before the show.

Night pot up.

Our dog is a 7 month old lab/border collie.  And she doesn't have anyone to play with but us...   We can't let her off the leash or she takes off, so all playing is indoors.    It gets a little hectic sometimes.

Slim, sounds like a typical horse.    Get it all shined up and the only thing it wants to do is take a mud bath.  I had to deal with a couple of those this week at fair.  Had a big halter show, so there were a lot of horses there.  I was just sort of hanging around the stables with nothing better to do, and some person confronted me rather irately about how I had let his horse get all muddy.  I told him in no uncertain terms that A: I didn't work there B: it was his horse, not mine and C: not to speak to me like that.  Amazing how friendly some people can get when you don't take any bad mouthing from 'em.

sortra reminds me of the joke...

Fella asked " Does your dog bite ? "

     Me             "NOPE"

he reaches  down to pet the dog,  and the dog chomps down on him , but good .....

" you said your dog didn't bite".... he screams

     Me        "That ain't my dog" !


speak'n'  of my dog..... "Jake" is a Boarder collie....

Morning...coffee is ready.

The dog kept me awake most of the night....not the lab, but my dog, NiteHawk (not my choice of names...the kids....I call her "sh**head sometimes, and she responds!).  The wife closed the bedroom door last night with NiteHawk in the room.  Why she did this, I don't know...but, NiteHawk kept pacing and whining knowing that Riley (the lab) was on the other side of the door somewhere.

NiteHawk is a good dog.  The only thing she does that is destructive is break fence boards!  She uses the fence as a backboard leaping to reach squirrels and birds! 

Her mother was a vizla, and the daddy may have been a pitbull (her head is shaped like one).  She was a rescue, as was the mother and the entire litter, fostered by my X-wife.  She was the only one that didn't get adopted from the litter, as she had a skin condition at that cute and cuddlely stage.  The rest is a much longer story...

The folks in those links should be charged and tried for cruelty to animals!

I'm kind of sorry I asked. 

Good morning all.

Weather man says we're supposed to reach 110 again today.  if we do, it will be the 20th day this year.  Normally we only get 5-9 days that hot.  I'm not going to say anything about it to Al Gore though.  We'd get another boring movie. 

In other news, I popped into the gun store yesterday to say hello and learned that one of the guys who works there sold his 1911 and XD 40 to buy a wagon.    It's a nice one, though.  He's going to turn it into a chuck wagon for his reenacting group.
