Bedtime
Good evening everyone. I am just about to head out to the kennel before the rains start. Looks like we are in for some heavy rains ty Hanna grrrrr and behind that is Ike. Since the weather looks like it will be ugly I am not sure what will be on tap tomorrow other then lots of hugs and belly rubs for the dogs inside.
Bob and I finished canning the peaches tonight. I am glad that project is done as I know the pears are getting close to being ripe now also.
I will touch base tomorrow. Stay safe.
Good morning everyone. Yesterday was just one of those days were I ran, ran ran. I had a pretty lenghty dentist appointment(my fault I might add) but I have my pearly white smile back(thank you Lisa). It had been sometime since I had gotten back for a good cleaning so…enough on that. As many of you know I have had some recent neck/shoulder issues. I returned back to the doctor after 5 weeks of PT and she feels I need another MRI and to see Pain Mgt. that’s all I know right now. She suspects I have a bulging disc in my neck. We’ll have to wait for the MRI results.
The dogs have been perfect angels, very understanding to what I can and can’t do. Today, Shelby the Gordon Setter and Riley the Labrador Retriever will be joining us for the weekend. Weather providing I hope to get dogs out. It was so hot and humid yesterday we stayed in.
I am heading back out to the kennel, catch you later. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I am heading out to the kennel to tuck the dogs in and give my biscuits and hugs. Have a great night, until tomorrow…

Evening everyone. Bob and I have been extremely busy tonight. After we took care of the dogs and settled in Em, Molly and Hase the rabbit we got busy canning peaches and vegetable soup(the veggies are from our garden). And you thought all I could do was care for the dogs lol…It seems like it is never going to end once you get started. They do look nice in the jars and I am sure we will enjoy them come winter.
I took some pictures earlier today of Kit(tabby and white) and Charlie(black and white who seem to be very happy living outside. They actually seem content. They were playing in these photographs, enjoy.
I am heading outside now to lock up, give hugs and biscuits. I will be leaving early tomorrow, I have doctors appointments in the morning and won’t post until I return home. Hopefully the doctor will see some improvement with my neck and inpingements. Bob of course will be here. Have a great night.
Good morning everyone. I can tell fall is on the way, when I wake in the morning it is not nearly as light out as it is during the height of the summer. To think I will be heading out in the dark soon is sad. I will miss summer.
The dogs all had their breakfast and hugs. Later today we welcome back Em and Molly for a few days. Congrats to the Baurenschmidt’s on the wedding of their son Eric and new daughter in law to be Teresa over this coming weekend.
I am off to PT shortly. Bob will be the one in charge. I’ll post tonight. Have a great day.

Hello everyone. What a great day it has been. The sun was out all day and it was just pleasant to be outside. All the dogs that were suppose to leave, left. More are expected tomorrow and at the end of the week. Hopefully I will get some pictures posted.
Hase the rabbit will be returning to visit also.
I am heading outside to let some dogs run, then back in to relax. I wish you all a great evening.
Labor Day~ September 1, 2008
Happy Labor Day everyone. It was another busy day here today. The dogs enjoyed the day outside. Once I finished with letting them all out I spent time, about 6 hours total, detailing my bike for upcoming events. I had help from Shelly and Cassie which made it a little easier on me. We even took the Virago out and washed it.
I am going to take a long ot shower then head out to the kennel to lock up, give biscuits and nightly hugs. Tomorrow several dogs will be leaving us.
I hope everyone enjoyed their extended weekend. I’ll post sometime tomorrow. Goodnight, sweet dreams.

As August comes to an end we look forward to September. The days will get shorter and shorter sadly. It was a fairly quiet day. I was up and out early with the dogs. Mimi, the Pitbull is being so good this time, I am very proud of her. All the Border Terriers got moved back to the kennel again and settled in like they never moved in the first place. The boys are a bit on edge at times as several of the girls are in season.
Shelly and I took a ride for lunch and we didn’t get into any trouble or lost this time, amazing.
I am heading out to lock up, give biscuits and hugs.
I would like to wish everyone a great Labor Day tomorrow. Have a great night.

Happy Saturday afternoon. Bob and I have been very busy since this morning. The dogs all got their breakfast and were let out. When I came in we decided to see if the peaches were ready to be canned..there not. We decided to try cooking some down for peach pie. Well 3 different kinds of peach pies were made. Bob’s stovetop method, my peach crumb and then I also made a fresh pie with no cooking in a graham cracker crust. They all look like they contain way too many calories and shouldn’t be eaten by me but I will try a small bite from them all. They certainly aren’t the prettiest pies I’ve ever seen, but I bet they taste yummy.
Otter’s Peach Crumb
Bob’s Peach Pie
We took a short ride on the bikes to the pharmacy, to get a battery in my watch, and then met Joel for coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
I still have corn to put up yet and I probably will do that later after the dogs are taken care of. Have a great day.

I just came in from locking up the kennel for the night. All the dogs had their biscuits and goodnight hugs. I’ll post tomorrow. Goodnight, sleep well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morning all. It’s a sprinkly morning out there. The rain has been lightly coming down and then nothing. I haven’t seen the forcast for today but from the looks of things it will be rainy.
We have Mimi coming this morning and some others later this afternoon.
Remember to watch your dogs with the big yellow schoolbusses that go by. I recall several dogs over the years chasing them.
Have a great Friday, the weekend is here.
Thursday August 28, 2008
Good morning everyone. What a crisp morning, I love it. I got the kennel all cleaned this morning. It seems so odd not seeing all those wagging tails in every run. As summer comes to an end our busy season comes to an end as well. I will try to find some interesting articles etc. to post for you. There are so many different canine topics I could address. If anyone has any particular interest please leave a comment and I will certainly do my best to find as much information as I can and post it as long as permission is granted to cross post.
Enjoy the day.

Just a quick post. The concert rocked. Bob said the dogs were quiet which is a good thing. Tomorrow Fritz is visiting us again for the night. I am heading out to lock up, give biscuits and hugs.
Goodnight all.
PS- Shelly once again we had a awesome night laughing!
Afternoon all, I am heading out this evening and leaving Bob in control. Shelly and I are going to see Daughtry as I said earlier this morning. We are having dinner out, then heading over to the Allentown Fairgrounds. This concert we are both excited to see.
When I get home I will give out my hugs and biscuits even if it is a tad later. Have a nice night, enjoy the weather it is beautiful out there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning. The sun is shining brightly this morning. Sorry I didn’t post last night I went to the Allentown Fair and my friend Pam(from Paltalk) and husband Stan from the Pittsburg met us there. It was nice to finally meet in person.
Tonight I am heading back to the Great Allentown Fair again with my girlfriend Shelly you know “Wrong Way” but I believe we are taking my car so we won’t get lost. We have Daughtry tickets and we are both very much looking forward to seeing him rock. Bob will be home and in charge.
The dogs all had breakfast and I packed up the Borzoi as they will be leaving us today. It will be quiet until Friday, then the weekend rolls in which is always hectic.
I have to walk Truffles and Peppercorn the neighbors dogs this afternoon so my post might be later.
I almost forgot to tell you the little orange kitten is in a foster home in the Wind Gap area. The two females were both ear tipped and the “Tan Foot” spayed. The Calico “Baldface” was already spayed can you believe that. She must have been dropped off here spayed, oh well. This hopefully is the complete colony. We will keep our eye peeled for newcomers. I released both females last evening once they were fully awake.
Have a great day, the week is half over yeappppie.
