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
User Guide for Jasper
Tuesday next week Jasper goes to his new home. My heart is already heavy. He's my boy. On the other hand, he's being adopted by a young dude that's going to college while staying at home. We did a few introductions and Jasper passed with flying colors. And why not? He's a very cool dog. … Continue reading User Guide for Jasper
Fun with Pets
It's hot now in DFW. And right on queue the nattering Karens on NextDoor are posting about how cruel it is to walk your dog in the heat. Can burn their paws up, doncha know. Why after 85 degrees, it'll burn their paws straight off! Yeah. Well. The dogs have to walk. I don't have … Continue reading Fun with Pets
Carnage in the Hood
It's hot here in North Texas. We had the cooler streak for a week or so and then the serious heat arrived. That's in the shade. In the sun, it was 106 And right on queue, the nitwit brigade on NextDoor is castigating anyone walking their dogs when it's over 85 degrees and posting "Did … Continue reading Carnage in the Hood
Odds and Ends
Busy week this last week. We had a crawfish boil on Saturday. I had a zoom call in the morning and gave the boy instructions how to get started. He did me proud and had things moving for when I was off my call. It started off bad. I used Herself's hotrod to go pick … Continue reading Odds and Ends
Well? Are you?
"You gonna share them aigs or not?" Every morning. Same thing. BTW, that's no illusion. Jasper isn't the smallest one any longer. The Boy. Still available if you want him.
Jet Gets a New Ball.
Nothing makes Jethro happier than a new basketball to ruin. This one courtesy of WalMart, where it was $5. Half the price of dog toys. https://vimeo.com/707096580 Now that it's burst. It'll be a fetch toy for the next six months. All three have been playing 'keep away' with it this week. Money well spent.
Tormenting the Dogs
https://vimeo.com/700115041 Ok. I can't sing. Dude is tired from his big day. But then I ran Jethro out of the kitchen. He wasn't as tired and wanted nothing to do with my bullshit. BTW, For some comparison, here's a live performance of the song by the Seldom Scene, now as greybeards: https://youtu.be/HDSgLdkiOso Ok. The old … Continue reading Tormenting the Dogs
Jethro’s a Punk
Every night when it's time for bed, I say "Night Night" and the dogs go in their crate. If Jet's door isn't wide open, He'll stand there staring at it, wanting me to open the door. WTF! GO IN DUDE! So I open it wide and he saunters in. The other day, I went out … Continue reading Jethro’s a Punk
