We had our first cold snap around here last night. It was supposed to get in the 30s, but when I let the dogs out early this morning, it was in the high 40s. Brisk. It was nice. I put on a pair of jeans for the first time since May. It's been in the … Continue reading Odds & Ends

Dog Friday
Everythings going to hell in a handbasket. Inflation sucks. We're ruled by imbeciles. Yada, yada, yada. But at least it's not raining. Here. Yet. Matter of fact, it's gotten quite cool here and the pups love it. Aria really has come alive. She's not a hot weather dog, what with that thick fur coat and … Continue reading Dog Friday
Playing in the Rain
A grautitous dog video. The intense heat of summer broke a few weeks ago with a decent storm, followed by an awesome rainy day. The next week, I was out walking the dogs and it started sprinkling. Luckily, we were on our way back, and nearly every street I use to return home is covered … Continue reading Playing in the Rain
Jasper Update
I got an update from the family what adopted Jasper. If you want to catch up, you can here, here, and here. I hadn't heard anything since the first two weeks. They had some usual dog adoption things. Jasper is a man's dog, a ferrari. If you aren't a dog person, adopting him is like … Continue reading Jasper Update
Protecting the Flock
We had two of the grandkids overnight this weekend. Aria, who's a bit unpredictable with kids was sent to visit her mom. Jethro adores the grandkids and follows them everywhere, which kind of freaks them out. Sizewise, it would be like a pony following me around. We took the kids to the park, walking there … Continue reading Protecting the Flock
Something Wrong with That Boy
There's something wrong with Jethro. He's not right in the head. If the garage door is open, he'll want to come back into the house through the garage. Makes no sense whatsoever. The dogs have a perfectly good dog door. See: That's him, going outside. And he'll use it to come back in. Unless the … Continue reading Something Wrong with That Boy
Odds and Ends
Lot of stuff to catch up on. First off, it's hot. DAMN HOT! That's in the shade. Doesn't look like it's going to let up soon. But, we have the climate ninnies flapping their arms about global warming. It isn't. It's a normal-to-hot North Texas summer. We've had hotter and drier. My grass is still … Continue reading Odds and Ends
Satuday Dog Update
It's been two weeks since Jasper went to his new home. On some level I miss the doofus. Sure, He was an additional work load with the other two, and he ginked my lungs some kinda bad. But he was a lovable dude. That super loyal, smart wingman that has zero common sense. If the … Continue reading Satuday Dog Update
Jethro goes to the Vet
It was time for Jet's yearly appointment with the vet. $400 vaporized in an hour. That said, I love the vet we use. He's a Shepherd expert, so he's a wealth of information on how to deal with Shepherd mixes like Jet and Aria. He's also pretty tuned into the pet care industry, from food … Continue reading Jethro goes to the Vet
You don’t see that every day
We had a quiet Independence Day around here. I expected Herself to drive back from her trip on the 4th, but she posted a day earlier. So we had a whole day before she'd have to head back to work. I myself am off this week. Neither of us are big on huge loud parties. … Continue reading You don’t see that every day
