Ahhh...so YOU'RE to blame, huh? Do you want to come back and give us back our weather (please)? It's supposed to be hotter today than yesterday and yesterday was awful...but this morning on the news they said they're expecting a record 101 degrees tomorrow at the SeaTac Airport (where all W. WA records are measured from), which means it will be several degrees higher than that down here by thewife and me. Kill me now. Please.

Today after my air-conditioned dentist appointment I get to go out and help another Highland breeder with her vet visit (she plied me with A/C and ice cream...smart woman!). She has 8 animals who will get their shots, plus two tatooed (a youngster and a yearling), bull rings in the yearling and a 3-year old bull (with Novocaine for pain relief, this oughta be interesting). She'll be bringing the yearling bull and a cow/calf pair to the fair but will need help with the latter, so I'm going to get to know her cow and practice leading her a bit. We're in the last seven days before the cattle have to be in the Beef Barn!!!

I really dislike this thing when u type a whole term paper and then it gets deleted.
:barnie

I really love my dog and generally he is soooo smart. However... this morning while milking, Tonka starts going beserk, so I know the 'yote pup is back. I finish milking (I was close to being done) and seeing the "evil one" I untie the dog to "sic 'em". He takes off after-good doggie- and I go after as fast as my dang good for morning chores, but horrible for running in croc-likes will allow. The gun is in the house, and the bullets (I think) are in DH's truck

Up and down a couple of ditches in the stinkin' mud, I reach the last rise to find Tonk trotting towards me AND THE 'YOTE TROTTING TOWARDS ME AFTER HIM :he

. The 'yote trots off upon seeing me and we come back to the house since obviously THAT didn't work :rant

I tie up the dog so he won't go PLAY with his new FRIEND and go inside to double check for bullets and yep, I have 'em :barnie

So, I go back outside with the gun (and good shoes) goin' huntin'. I easily find the pup, on the crotchety doctor's property, but I walk out there anyway. Keep in mind, I am on a heart monitor for a reason and am blacking out while I'm walking. I don't have a good shot and am reluctant to anyways due to Dr. Stupid (who probably would have turned me in for trespass) :duc

So, just

!!
(I realize that the dog is young and the 'yote didn't act normal-running away would have encouraged the dog to give chase after rather than BONDING :hit

I also realize that this pup could have something wrong ( i know that it isn't rabies), but point out that the 'yote is young also, which could explain the behavior
BUT seriously, this is not the Fox and the Hound!!!!!!!!!!!! :th

Really?
Your lucky the heat has drained all of our umph, or we'd come looking for ya to take back what is ours!

Coyotes are known to lead dogs away to the pack. There have been a few pups come up missing around here through out the years.

It's already too hot. I think I will spend the day moving the sprinkler trying keep the 10 or 20 green blades of grass in my yard alive.

Yeah, I was concerned about that earlier in the year. My dad has seen that happen.

So, how long will it take you to move the sprinkler around to those 10-20 blades?? :lol:
