A Dark Day

Although it was sunny out today, it may as well be midnight to me, dark as my mood is. I had to put Jethro down this morning. It was a gut wrenching decision that has me overcome with grief and guilt. The Vet gave me the first "talk" Saturday. He said he's seen this before, … Continue reading A Dark Day →

This is Out of Hand

Behold the Garden: Beets and peppers are progressing awesomely. The cucumbers are out of control. I'm up to my ass in cucumbers. What happened was I thought the ones I planted were dying, so I planted more. None of them died. So I have four vines, two types. Luckily I like cucumbers. The tomatoes I … Continue reading This is Out of Hand →

Jethro Update

It's sad I have to do these. It's heartbreak piled on top of almost unbearable heartbreak. That said, Jet was at least ambulatory all weekend, not eating, but drinking water. I figured it would be best to wait for our own vet than take him to an emergency vet. As luck would have it, they … Continue reading Jethro Update →

Jethro Update

Jethro is gravely ill. He's had a relapse and it's happening fast. I've had a 30 megaton shitshow detonate my personal life here, that I can't, and shouldn't, go into. For most of the week I could barely take care of myself, much less the dogs. And they know it. His relapse started at the … Continue reading Jethro Update →

Made in China, Part 2

We bought these cool bamboo blinds for the door and windows to the sunroom. They're helpful because we can shut them at night, and the dogs don't see critters in the back and start barking. They were very cool when we first got them. You'd simply lift them up to open them, pull them down … Continue reading Made in China, Part 2 →

Gratuitous Dog Pics

Jethro still isn't quite right. He's eating, but it's hit or miss. He seems OK, but he still isn't pooping real solid. The other day on a walk he stopped at least five times to grunt one out, and all that arrived was drops of goo. Sorry for the reference. But sizing up your dogs … Continue reading Gratuitous Dog Pics →

Made in China

For the last two weeks, something has been smelling hot around here. Hot as in electronics cooking hot. Drove myself crazy sniffing around. Maybe it's the ion thing on the fan. Nope. Maybe it's the new receiver. Nope. There's a laptop with a doc, 4 monitors, 2 PoE adaptors, 2 storage appliances, a camera system, … Continue reading Made in China →

Idiots of the Week

Usually, I showcase a shithead driver on Friday. I had some good ones this week, but didn't pull the vidya from my camera. One trip, maybe two miles, three shitheads in the left lane, cutting off the other two to turn right. Unreal. Age of the imbecile, for sure. Speaking of which... Congratulations Baltimore for … Continue reading Idiots of the Week →

The Old Women on the Corner

There were two older women neighbors when I moved in here. The first one, across the street from me, has her house facing the cross street. She had a cool Shepherd, a recycled military dog that she adopted. She told me how to go about it, but the list was too long. I've only had … Continue reading The Old Women on the Corner →

Spoilt Dogs

Steroids have cured Jethro, thank God. Homey was suffering. And sorry, I feel for him like one of my own children. Dogs aren't much different. They don't know why they are suffering and count on us to help them. When my son was 3 years old, I spent a weekend with him sick (the others … Continue reading Spoilt Dogs →
