Driving back from taking the boys and dog for a walk at the local reserve.

A tired pup is a good pup!

Very true.

Getting chilly enough to fire up “The Dragon.”

Geddy loves the Dragon…he parked himself there as soon as the distribution blower started to go….

Gypsy would look at me like I bumped my head when I would fire up the wood stove.

Then once it started putting out heat, she would curl up in the corner next to my chair where it was cooler.

Granted, she's got two coats of fir, so she does better when its cooler.

Whip out the phone for a photo and they stop wrestling

The new charcoal lab is turning out to be an excellent pup. She already has a loyalty to me and wants to be wherever I am. I can pick her up and lay her on my lap and she will fall asleep, otherwise she lays at my feet. She is already retrieving very well too. I am considering training her to be a deer recovery dog.

The boys are enjoying the outside couch. May need to leave the cushions out longer than normal this year

My new female charcoal lab I got this week. My male silver lab is excited for her to grow up and start a family.

My Heeler mix spent much of the day at the vet yesterday for x-rays and blood work which in combination with some meds cost close to $800. She's been quite lame recently and has been having monthly Librela shots with the third one administered last week. She has significant arthritis in both front elbows and some ACL issues in her knees. She was a rescue of unknown age back in February of 2016 and I would estimate that she was around 2 to 3 years old at that time. Since I've had her coming up on 9 years she's probably 11 or 12 years old.

She is such a good but stubborn little (40lb) dog who loves to ride in the truck but doesn't like having her photo taken. At this stage the objective is to make her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible.

She has beautiful eyes. (Hope that doesn't come across sounding like a quote from deliverance)

She does. The dilute gene in the silver and charcoal labs makes them blue. My silver male's eyes are even more blue, like a light blue/grey.

There was a woodpile inspection today. The Secretary of War called in the Minister of Defense for second opinion. Appears we have some invasion (squatters) of their sovereign territory. I’ll be lucky if that pile is still standing when I start the first fire for the season.

Some friends (the ones whose field I cut each year) just adopted a beautiful black German Shepherd that was dumped along I90 near Frenchtown, MT. They have two Golden Retrievers and a Malinois, and the new dog Dex who is around 1 to 2 years old is settling in nicely. He's in a great situation now.

I grew up with hunting dogs but I have a real appreciation for Agassi too.

As far the DEX has if somebody dumped him, that’s their loss and his gain if he landed with people who care. If he ran off there was probably a reason. I have not see GSDs range out like a hunting dog does.

That collection could be quite a handful for a dog walker for sure.

Must be kind of hard to drive with the dog under your feet like that….

I don't see any feet, Just a dog....

According to the people who captured him, he had been sitting by the side of the interstate for more than a day. He's a big dog at around 95lb.

Oh my….What A holes that left him…as if its so easy to accidentally miss a 95lb GSD (I wonder same thing when I see people’s shoes / boots on the road - how do you miss that?)…maybe there was a legitimate reason, but it’s good DEX found a home before someone mistook for coyote/coydog or farmer found him running their stock looking for food. I bet DEX will appreciate the good people that took him in.

He's been with them for three weeks now and is a sweetheart. The Malinois is thrilled to have a wrestling buddy. She's too much for the retrievers but Dex is a good match for her. This is his home now. I might need to get dumped by the side of I90.
