Fen is the most hilarious dog I have ever lived with. He makes up games to play with Boone. He especially loves playing tug with an antler (Don’t ask. It’s a Fen thing😂) Here he attempted to combine two of his favorite games, “Antler Tug” and “Clobber Boone”. Unfortunately, he underestimated...

After 2 days all the swelling in my throat is gone. I need to remember to call Dr re: Epipen. I have anaphylactic response to honeybees but have never seen any here. However, the swelling in my throat is how that started so I need to have one on hand Comfrey poultice worked wonders.😍Mister is...

Boone moves with me from spot to spot (as a great Service Dog should ☺️) and as he lay watching me package the rabids I processed last week, I dropped something. I asked him to hand it to me. It was too far from him for him to do his mighty stretch to reach it without getting up, so he moseyed...

Randy has had dramatic results with the cortisone injections in his shoulder. I hope your results are as good , even though its a temp fix it’s definitely worth the shot

Boone cried the first 1 1/2 hr of the 4 hr drive to town yesterday. I felt like crying with him. It’s just too dang long of a drive to go anywhere. I finally had to go sit in the backseat with him, which made him happy. Of course once we were in town he was happy as a Golden in a mud puddle...

Thank you Margali!

Boone is coming into his own. He goes out on his own to patrol the back yard and pastures. He had BIG BOOMING barks tonight! I bet coyotes were in the back pasture, I’ve been hearing them coming closer. They’d have a heckuva time getting into Mister’s pasture and Boone can’t get out so he’s...

Great Idea! I DO have comfrey! I need to plant the plantain still. Waiting on Randy to get garden straightened out and greenhouse up. I definitely need to get all this stuff growing and organized. I didn’t even think about a Comfrey wrap for Mister, but I am now. He’s getting poulticed tonight...

I will look for some Monday in town

I pulled the sweat. Mister is still limping badly but he IS weight bearing this morning ❤️ He WANTS to fart around so clearly he’s feeling better. Swelling is way down. No actual ouchy spots but there is a minor gash high up on the inside of that leg at the point of that big muscle over that...

It hurts to swallow this morning. My throat feels swollen but that’s all. I’m not having any trouble breathing, just feels like my tonsils or something is 5x it’s normal size. If I drool instead of swallow, it doesn’t hurt 😝 Boone is out back surveying his kingdom. I assume he’s checking...

Apparently, the cows tore up and crumpled the 6 ga welded wire fence in Mister’s corral sometime back and my husband, who has been married to me for 30 years and KNOWS you can’t leave horses in with !@&!! like that, did anyway. I didn’t know because I hadn’t been able to get back there for some...

Gah!! Damn hornets!! They swarmed on me. I was just a pin cushion and now I’m covered in lumps 🤬

Not sure. Hoping more than 3 months!

Long day yesterday but the good news is that for over a decade I have needed a “recovery day” anytime we have gone to town because the pain is so bad the next day. They did guided injection yesterday and today not only was I able to get up, I got half of the growouts processed. I’ll finish the...

3 Dr appts in town yesterday. Mine was first thing in morning so we left between 4:30 and 5 am to get there. They did guided injections into both sacroiliac joints. Dr says “gonna be a pinch then a bee sting” BULLSHIRT!! That bee had to be the size of a pterodactyl! Hurt all day and of course I...

Years ago I was talking to a neighbor in the afternoon when a coyote slinked…slunk…snuk out of a nearby drainage ditch and snatched his little West Highland Terrierist not 15 feet away from us!

He saw his ball under Fen’s raised bed which sits under the window. He tried to get it but it went further underneath. His used his paws without any luck. He stuck his head under and the ball rolled all the wY to the wall. Boone went after it but the bed was now stuck on his head because he...

The sous vide came. I am a believer! The way it works is, you vacuum seal your food (in this case meat) and set the target temp for the amount of doneness you want. It goes in a container of water and the stick keeps the water at that temperature. Slowly (it takes a couple hours to cook) the...

Boone climbed in bed with us whenever he came back in from patrolling. He likes to share my pillow and even rests a front leg on one of us. He is so affectionate! If only he could remove his own collar before playing bitey face with Fen. He’s just the best good boy! Idk what I would do without...
