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. 

Great Weather In "The Tropics"

When it doesn't rain, the weather this month has been fantastic. The cover has not come off of the air conditioning unit yet and the windows stay open 24/7, although it is a little chilly when it drops in the 50's while we sleep. The patio door stays open most of the day and until we head for bed at night, so the hounds and dogs really enjoy getting out in this fantastic weather. No bugs yet and no squirrels inside the fence. LOL

A Squirrel Gets Into The House!!

It has been great weather since my last post. The ground was soft enough to pull weeds and spread 15 bags of mulch, 40# each .. it made me realize whether I want to admit it or not, I am getting older. Some new developments ... all the hounds and dogs like to be brushed every day, except Watson. All the hounds and dogs like their nails trimmed except Watson. I put a leash on Watson in the backyard the other day and he jumped at me on his hind legs ... not good for taking a walk.

A Lot Of Activity Since My Last Post

A lot of things have been going on since my last post 27 days ago. We have survived 3 different tornado warnings with "take shelter now" since then. Twice there were funnel clouds within the 5 mile radius of home. Yet I know unless my "weather dog" Walter shows anxiety we are good. He never did show any signs of anxiety during those tornado warnings, as we watched the local tv weather to keep updated on what was going on and where things were.
