The Hounds And Dogs Stay Inside


The temperatures have stay above 90's most days this month. The next four days will be hotter than the last 10 days. So the hounds, dogs and I will not be doing much outside that is blog worthy. I did get the backyard, inside the fence mowed yesterday. Mower was set at its highest blade setting. I finished the hotter than hot afternoon with some ice cold hibiscus tea.

A Lot Has Happened In June



A lot has happened since my last post. I will not go into the details but simply those that need to know ... know. I wasn't sure I was even going to post on the blog this month but just in case, I added photos as the month progressed. They are in order as June went from the 1st to the 27th.

Honestly I do not know if I will continue to blog. I guess time will tell. All I know is that my body and mind are recalibrating and once that is finished things I was interested in before, I may not be interested in doing anymore. If so, there will not be a farewell blog post, this would be the last one.

Things Moving Smoothly


My friend tells me these are Tiger Lillies, but Grok tells me they are Daffodils, what I called them. I do know you cannot kill them. They grow back fast. The give the boring landscape in front some color.

One Beef Femur Bone Each

I stopped by the Old Fashioned Butcher Shoppe yesterday on my way home. I was looking for some boneless beef fat as a supplement for Cletus. It was suggested that might help putting some meat on those bones of his. He eats non-stop if I would let him, but doesn't gain the weight he needs.

This is a smaller bone size, one bone each for Ava and Walter. The other bones were slightly bigger cut and just the right size for Henry, Watson and Cletus. So far after 15 minutes there have been no fights nor are they wanting someone else's bone. Watson and Walter are here in the computer room with me chewing away, Cletus snuck to the bedroom, Ava ran for her crate with the bone in her mouth and Henry chose a sunny spot in the great room.

A Break Between Thunderstorms


Saturday morning around 4:25am Ava decided all of us should get up for some reason. Before I could swing myself around and have my legs over the side of the bed, she had all the hounds standing wagging tails to get out of the bedroom. Walter remained sound to sleep through the confusion. We sped out through the house and all of them headed outside in the dark. While they peed I took this photo.

Doctors Are Like Congress


It's too early for a Saturday morning when I start this, too early for any morning really, but when you can't sleep you start the day early. It's a cool 62°, windows open and the birds are singing outside. I am about to get up and grab that first cup of coffee. Not quite 5:15am.

There is going to be some Saturday morning rambling, so grab your favorite drink and read along if you wish.

I Did Delete The Last Post


The last post I made I got good feedback, useful information just like I wanted. Some bloggers can go in detail about personal health issues but I find it hard to do. The more times I read that post over the past few days the more I felt at least for me ... it was too much information and something I didn't want to leave out on the internet. So that is where the post and comments went ... I deleted it late last night.
