I just twisted not weird, or something like that...

Thanks.
Good to see Otis again.
How is he holding up?

 

[Fiddler]

Really well since I put him on anti-inflammatory meds. He doesn't gimp around at all any more.

Vet guesses he's about 8yrs now; eyes are starting to glaze over...not sure he sees & hears real good...'bout the same as me I guess

 

[stig]

Good to hear the Hopalong Cassidy stuff is gone.

 

[stig]

Thais made me proud today.
He is trained to not go after anything bigger than a mouse.

As we were coming down the drive way after picking up the sunday paper this morning, he kind of looked funnily at the plant behind the biggest rock.
Then a pheasant hen came out of there and hurriedly walked across the lawn.
He didn't take a single step after her.
Turned out there is a nest with 13 eggs in that plant.
So I told him "No" and they have been coexisting since.

 

[stikine]

Is that your fresh gravel?

 

[stig]

Yup.
There used to be a grass border, but it tore the hell out of the lawn mover, because pebbles from the driveway would get into the grass.
So the wife got tired of that.
Imagine that pheasant laying eggs while we have been digging up turf ,putting down the stone edging and pebbles, all within 3 feet of her nest.
Tough little bird.

Your place looks really fine, Stig.

If that were my front yard, it would have half a dozen big muddy mole hills on it .

 

[stig]

If it was mine, it would ,too.
However, Margot wages war on moles and gophers with a vengeance.
Next time we drive to Schweiz, she wants to pick up some of the explosive gopher traps, they make in Germany.

That was filmed 25 minutes from me. My geometry teacher was an extra in that scene. He got $10 and all the Kentucky Fried chicken he could eat.

Roscoe is beautiful!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

New member to the family on its way home.

 

[Burnham]

Now there's a sweetie. Energizer bunny level of go go go, but a pure sweetie .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

We have a couple kids and some live stock to keep her busy

 

[BlackSmith]

Australian Shepherd..?

 

[vharrison]

Two cuties there!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Australian Shepherd..?

Yuppers.
Had me up and momma up at 2am. Oh well.
Some protests from the other critters about why on earth shoulld we bring something home that smells like a dog. But has no tail like a dog. Already have a dog. Why do we need a dog when you have the best cat ever. Ya know. Some jealousy issues.

When the kids moved out (after 5 years) they took Marlin with them....people tell me that isn't right...he's with you all the time! I explain, he's the kids dog, keeping them happy is his purpose.
Most don't understand how a golden is with kids....after they grow up and calm down.




Where she goes, he goes...

[vharrison]

Yep, Golden's are golden.

 

[Bodean]

I hear they are great...

My gpa had like 5 black labs named beebee in a row.

 

[Tree09]

[pantheraba]
