Taking a break.

Don't know when I'll be back. I'm quitting most of the internet for a while.

Scarface

This thing is now as big as Conker. He's earned the nickname "Scarface" due to how often he's whacked his head into things and cut himself. Also, a few of those nicks came from the Girls when he got a bit too pushy-in-their-faces and they told him to back off... He's much better about that now though, and usually a raised lip is all he needs to get the message.

Anywho, he's doing pretty good, gets along with the Girls and Conker well. He still likes to play "Catch me if you can!" if he's got something in his mouth, which is a HUGE no no since most of the time if he's got something that is not a toy or chew, he probably shouldn't have it, and eating it could be dangerous (fatal) which is what he usually tries to do with things he shouldn't have.

He still screams when I walk off, which is also a huge no no. Unless I throw him a meaty bone or a handful of small food items that he can forage for, but I'd really like to be able to leave without doing that.

Busy

Been really busy with all sorts of crap. Don't have much time for blogging.

Penelope eats some alfalfa hay while I prepare her for the morning milking.

"They" redid the road, have been for a while, and finally finished it. Don't know why, the old was was fine.

Yellow watermelon. YELLOW watermelon! It's fanfuckingtastic.

Conker has discovered a large pile of pillows in the RV. He now DEMANDS that he sleep on them at night.

The Derp asks to be let in. I usually oblige.

Today on the farm we dug up some oddities.

Large scrotal sacs!

(Not actually a scrotum.)

After work, since my Jeep is out of commission right now, I rode my bike to town to get some things.

This is the True Purpose of rear bicycle baskets.

After that I made up a veggie grind for the dogs. It consists of: Carrots, cucumbers, kale, chard, squash, a dash of cantaloup, and some white rice. Everything except the rice is from the farm.

This is Katana's dinner.
A chicken back, rice, egg, veggie grind, small bit of turkey liver, half turkey heart and gizzard.

Katana has had a couple digestive disturbances. He was eating Taste of the Wild when I got him but developed some problems with it, so I switched him to rice and turkey misc for a few days, then added in some other ingredients one by one. So far he is doing much much better (digestive wise) on whole/raw foods, so, like Conker, he gets to stay on them.

The other dogs are currently eating some old EVO (pre-recall) I had in my chest freezer before the move.


Juneau escaped the fence YET AGAIN so she gets to stay on her chain until I build a new fence. I'm not going to bother trying to mod the old one, I didn't do that great of a job on it and I don't see the point in dumping money into something I'm going to replace soon anyways.
The only problem with that is she barks while on the chain in the morning...

Man, Labor Day in a small town sucks. Since I work on a farm, there are no "holidays" so I forgot about Labor Day since I worked today. When I went into GP to do stuff, everything was closed. Also, I think it is a silly holiday, and don't celebrate it anyways. (I think this of almost all American holidays.)

So, instead of doing things like getting groceries and buying a new poop scooper (I broke my old one), I took Conker and Katana on another short hike.

Conker shows Katana how a Man Dog takes a piss. Katana stands with all four feet on the ground while peeing, and sometimes it hits his front feet. I really really hope he grows out of that and starts hiking his leg soon...

Katana had a very brief off-leash hike since he decided to play "Catch me if you can!" and I don't do that shit. So I took off running in the other direction and got his attention and grabbed him when he got close enough and leashed him for the rest of the hike.

Conker retained his off-leash privileges, as he has for a long long time. He is only leashed when other people, dogs, or horses are on the trails, out of politeness.

I used this as an opportunity to teach Katana some leash manners. he was very unruly on-leash, but quickly grasped the concept of heeling that he was a pro in about five minutes!

Today's hike was very short since I wasn't having the greatest day due to everything being closed and my Jeep deciding to act really strange in the trailhead parking lot. And on the way home. I don't know what it's issue is, and I really hope it's easily fixable without me having to spend a lot of money on it.
