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.
