Can Anyone Rescue This Beautiful Bloodhound ???

This is on Facebook's page "Rescue Bloodhounds". You can search for that page and then scroll down until you see this ad. Carrie Langley really needs some help re-homing "Red". Red is a 4 year old spayed female, she gets along with other dogs but prefers to eat alone. As usual, anytime a divorce takes place lives of dogs might change and in this case it has for Red.

Due to no fault of Carrie's, Red is now sleeping outside at night instead of inside as a house dog. She has been an indoor house dog since she was bought as a 8 week old puppy. She is so gentle, house trained and likes riding in the passenger seat of a car or Jeep. Carrie is needing to find a new home for her due to her work schedule and travel. She has stayed out side with no fence wearing a GPS collar and enjoys being outside during the day.

Watson & Ava Play Fetch

Doesn't that look like a large vase of Hydrangeas? My neighbor told me I could make some money with those because people dry them out. I am not sure if the garbage man will take them 7:26am lifted and dumped into their trash truck like that since they are bigger than the trash can and the lid is not closed. I guess I will find out early in the morning. If he doesn't I will go to Plan B and cut them shorter and then jam them down into the trash can for next weeks pickup.

A Busy Day With No Spare Time

This morning was so routine I actually forgot that it was Friday. The hounds were up early to eat, play a little and by 7am they were back in their sleeping positions for short naps. I got in a bike ride for an hour after 2pm while it was nice and hot for a change. Then cleaned myself up, updated my private bike blog for record purposes, eat some late lunch/early dinner and cut up a fresh pineapple. Not much else to say tonight but it's great to see progress in the hurricane damaged areas. 

Blog Sidebar & NC Hurricane Survival

Just a short post this morning to show we still have a pulse and I have made some changes to my blog sidebar, plus adding more posts to fill in the empty space that was created with the long list of "blog topics". I will go through and decrease that list to something more readable. 

This was Walter a year ago, so you can see not much has changed the past year as far as morning routines. I will post later today with hounds and dogs photos but just wanted to get this post out this morning as an update. 

Hounds Fight !!!

It started out as a calm game of fetch between Watson and Ava. Henry laid on the patio and watch them run toward the ball I was throwing across the yard. I decided toward the end to change things up and threw the ball higher so it would bounce on the patio. It went high but too short and barely hit the patio, bouncing into the yard. It was close enough that Henry decided he wanted the ball ... they stopped fighting when I yelled, but by the sound it was going to get very ugly very fast.

Amazing Reactions To Last Post

I put this palm in a larger pot today, watered it really good and let it spend the day outside on the patio. After all that I realized after seeing the downloaded photo I didn't get it low enough in the pot to where that based is covered in dirt. I like you, see roots. The roots have plenty of room to grow though, so maybe next spring or summer I will repot it again. You can tell by that photo, most likely this is a pretty boring blog post.

Football Saturday in "the tropics" of Southern Indiana. This was deleted by mistake the other day. 

Water Company Excitement

With the predicted Hurricane surge hitting us this weekend, starting Friday ... I did all the yard work on Thursday. Besides mowing and trimming around the inside and outside of the fence along with the driveway and landscape edging ... I took the weedeater and buried it in the ditch that had formed where the Bradford Pear tree use to be. After they cut the tree down 3 years ago, they ground the stump but fill the hole back up with wood sawdust. I think covered it with topsoil and new grass seed. 

No More Hounds Or Dogs !!

A trip to see the bloodhound in the no-kill shelter was all I needed to finalize my craziness, a decision. No more hounds or dogs. The vibe wasn't there when I saw her, talked to her and petted her. She is a different story at at different time. I knew walking back to my car the urge to rescue a dog from the shelter was over. For some reason I just didn't want any more than I have. There were other changes too after I got home. These photos are from today.

I'm A Transport Volunteer

You may have heard me lately complaining a little about about the holes that Ava has been digging. When I saw her first hole I thought it was a sign of a bored puppy but after reading more about the German Shepherd breed, it's in their DNA ... it's what they do. So today I see I have a Facebook message from my cousin, the one that kinda talked me into getting Ava so she would be in a good home.

This picture is in the Facebook message with a note ... "Ava's sister". Her sister looks a little bigger also.
