Finally got the tests back from the Vet. $500 lighter, and a week later, we know more but nothing certain. We do know the flags for pancreatitis were negative. So that's not his issue. Looks like an intestinal inflammation of some sort. He's low on follic acid, which is an indicator. Tells us where the … Continue reading Jethro Update

Something’s up with Jethro
The other week, Jethro wasn't well. To fix his guts, I put 1/2 tsp of food grade diatomaceous earth. I got the tip from Aria's foster years ago, and it usually works. It did this time as well. Took a few days. I was going to call the vet one day, but during his walk … Continue reading Something’s up with Jethro
Shoot Me!
Jethro has had guts issues for most of the week. I've been awakened the last few nights, usually twice, by the very unique "I'm gonna shit my pants" whine, followed by a more anxious bark. He's such a good dude. Does NOT want to go in the house. So I get up, grab for some … Continue reading Shoot Me!
All of Man’s virtues, with none of his vices..
Borepatch had to put his dog, Wolfgang down. I can't imagine the pain. I work at home. My big dude follows me around all day. Both of them roust me when it's time to walk, time to quit for the day. Time to take a break and play. Today he posted a longer piece, RTWT. … Continue reading All of Man’s virtues, with none of his vices..
Friday Dog Stuff
I was farting around with my library and found this gem: https://vimeo.com/810721280 Old video of Jasper, probably at the end of the day wanting me to go out and play. You can see Jethro in the doorway. Look at that happy, hopeful face and the tail wagging. Such a cute, cool dude. It broke my … Continue reading Friday Dog Stuff
Friday Dog Stuff
What's better than a $5 WalMart basketball? To the dogs? Nothing. https://vimeo.com/808116912 Homey came damn close to chomping on my thumb. This is a pretty typical night around here. I'm feet up watching my stories and one or both dogs will come in and want to play. Eventually they peter out and fall off to … Continue reading Friday Dog Stuff
Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg
It’s the middle of February, and is still pretty damn cold. But I got my seeds into pots. This time I didn’t order any actual plants, because the plants I ordered from Burpee last year arrived kind of peeked and weren’t really any better than the ones I planted myself. Yesterday I came came into … Continue reading Spring is Springing, and a Lazy Dawg
We Don’t Deserve them
Every morning after our walk, the pups play for a solid 15-20 minutes. As long as I'm outside doing morning chores, they are following me around. https://vimeo.com/794689907
End of a Long Week
Had a lot of screen time this week, what with the ice and whatnot. Tax season is ramping up and just as Herself would be in the office late, she's here working. Which the dogs loved. They'll lay around all day and get super animated when she comes home. This week, Jethro has been posted … Continue reading End of a Long Week
Wintry Mix
We had ice today, which shut down a lot of the numbnuttery. Speaking of numbnuts, Jethro was overjoyed to discover ice was falling from the sky. https://vimeo.com/794682513 I cut out the parts where he was doing his bidness. This is a family site, after all. That white stuff is ice. It was thundering as it … Continue reading Wintry Mix
