Winston Update

Well. The boy don't like bathing: It was a struggle getting him in the tub. Actually, it was a struggle getting him in the room. Whole lotta "Nope, nope nope...." Had to shove him by his butt. Should've had him go to the low-boy stall that I used to bathe Jethro. Next time. The adoption … Continue reading Winston Update →

Winston Update

When I got Winston, they told me it would be a week or two for him to warm up. He had issues, and was I OK with that. What issues? Dude's been my boy since the afternoon he came here. Under his eye always. He's learned not to circle behind me when walking, not to … Continue reading Winston Update →

Homey Gets a Bath

Winston got his official collar today. That shot cost me a belly rub You can tell he was a stray, or even abused. He's real squirrely when you are trying to put a collar on him. Although, he's getting better since he now associates the leash with something fun, like walks and trips to the … Continue reading Homey Gets a Bath →

Missing Jethro

Last night, a little after 1AM, a dude rang my doorbell. I thought I was dreaming. So I went out to look. Yup. Dude standing there in the dark. Screw this I thought, and wondered if I should ignore him or grab my .44 and say hello. He appeared to be an AC tech. Maybe … Continue reading Missing Jethro →

Getting Fit

As I've been being scrupulous about my diet and exercise, I weigh in every month. This week I'm 215 and change. That's 60 lbs from a year ago or so, and 10 under my goal. Why not keep it up? I've increased the length of my 3x weekly bike rides, and I run sprints 2x … Continue reading Getting Fit →

Winston Update

It's been a great weekend with the new pup. He's getting along with Aria. My son, daughter, and her husband came over last night and he did well with them. He let out a small bark with my son, but then got with the program. That's the only time I've heard him bark. When Aria … Continue reading Winston Update →

Meet Winston

The rescue people brought the boy over, and he gets along great with the Girl. So I adopted him. Meet Winston: He's a cool dog. What is it about male dogs that make them follow you around? He wants to be wherever I am. We'll see how it goes at bedtime. But so far he's … Continue reading Meet Winston →

Random Thoughts

Big holiday weekend. What're you doing? I myself have no clue, since as usual I hadn't realized there was a holiday coming up. Probably clean my guns. Move crap outta here. More than a few years ago, I started a business with a friend. It went nowhere. I used Skype for the business line reasoning … Continue reading Random Thoughts →

Whelp…That went well.

The other day I decided to take a trip to Operation Kindness, a local no-kill shelter close by. I'd been surfing their site for some time and found a few likely candidates for a boyfren for Aria. I had two in mind. First up was Chai: What a sweet face! A year and a half … Continue reading Whelp…That went well. →

Mourning

I can't believe I didn't write about this. A week or two after Jethro died, I woke up because Aria was howling. I wrote about it then. She still sleeps on the floor where his crate was. Always pointing where the door was. Man, I got to get her a new boyfren. I found this … Continue reading Mourning →
