Poor Mel. He is so sweet and gentle. Yup, Maisy rules. Size doesn’t matter when she has the heart of a tiger.

Have you tried a foot pad under the front of foot? Sometimes that helps keep foot from going forward and tightens fit

I can give it a try.

Wear thick wool socks.

I DO!
Darn Tough™, made in Vermont. Lifetime guarantee but personally I couldn't claim I deserve free replacements given I know it is the boots causing the damage.

Our water is pretty much down to a trickle and the news is showing it as a supply/demand issue. Our country is fairly sparsely populated (around 17000 house holds plus businesses). The county is saying that the demand has been almost double over what is the average and the system just can't keep up.

The country water system has completely ran out of water now. Literally, not a drop is coming out but we keep enough water on hand that we are good to go. We have all of the drinking water that we need and I have plenty of well water to use for flushing.

We have an old well in Yantis that we only turn on for the garden and livestock. We have city water for the house. One of the things we want to put in is a new well. Our water is good and there hav been 5 different wells on this property in the last 200+ years.

We have well water but it is high sulphur and I can't drink it. We put a couple of tbs of bleach in each bucket and that at least neutralizes the odor.

I was going to ask why you didn't just use your well water, but you answered that. Our friend Erick says he has sulphur in his well but that if you have a 500 gallon water tank the sulphur will eventually burn off or evaporate somehow.

I think she is in bitch mode since she isn't in with her sheep and is taking it out on Mel. She is half his size but she can be vicious.

The term "bitch fight" didn't just originate out of thin air. When bitches fight it often ends in very serious injury or death. Males will often back off after a lot of noise. Except Anatolians.

The county got our water back on sometime during the night but it sure is nasty. There is a boil water notice at least temporarily but we still have plenty of drinking water left.

 

[Baymule]

At least you have water. But Blech!

I owe Maisy an apology since Mel's injury turned out to be another hot spot rather than a bite.

 

[Baymule]

Well that is a relief! Hot spot somehow is better than Maisy biting Mel. Glad yall found out what it real is and getting treatment. Mel and Maisy have such a good home.

Mel's injury turned out to be another hot spot

??? In this weather?

 

[Mike CHS]

Bacteria doesn't seem to care what time of year it is.

 

[Ridgetop]

Poor Mel. Could it be allergies?
