Mornin' BBB (((Skip))) Steph, Wichita, Kansas? Pouring rain. Soggy day for a hunt test. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Man, did I need a day off, but alas it was not to be. My phone was blowing up all day. Gonna completely disconnect this weekend. Spaniel Hunt Test in upstate NY. Probably no cell reception at all. Are you still doing the bachelor thing, Skip? Yankees/Dodgers series starts tonight, but starts so late since on…

Mornin' gents. Sadly, a follow up dental appointment is interfering with dog training this morning. I will do some dog training solo this afternoon. Hunt test fun this weekend, but have a trial the following weekend. Overcast and moist, rained overnight, but not supposed to rain during today. I sure hope not, I have a pork…

Mornin' BBB Dental appointment interfering with dog training this morning . Hrrumph. Safe travels Steph and Ron. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB

Long day yesterday. At the end of life house call last night, 10 yr old twins said goodbye to the dog that raised them. Luke was a magnificent and sweet rottweiler that had reached 12 and half years before developing a bleeding tumor in his abdomen. Tough way to end the day, but it was a gentle passing of a gentle giant of…

Afternoon BBB I actually watched our small town Memorial Day parade. I loved the kids on their bikes and scooters. I haven't been since my boys were in scouting. It was a complete accident. I was driving home after helping a dog to rainbow bridge, and got stopped to make a detour. I parked and stayed. Therapeutic, and sort…

Remembering those who gave their all for our freedom today gents. I appreciate the parades and speeches, but I no longer attend them. I feel a bit guilty about that. Today I am performing another euthanasia, maybe two. Glad I have my girls to hug afterwards. Maybe do a little flyfishing if my whole day isn't eaten up.…

Thanks fellas This one is 5K https://shorturl.at/8EqO5 Steve, did you already purchase the meds? If you can, shoot me the labs and the treatment plan.

Morning BBB

Overcast today, but no rain. Got a call from another client for an end of life visit. I will be performing the deed tomorrow morning. Waiting to hear from 2 other clients with dogs with terminal issues. It is such a deeply personal event and often traumatic. Some deal with it better than others. ((sigh))

Afternoon gents Worked this AM. It has been euthanasia city for the last few days, besides having to give bad news to other owners that will be having to consider euthanasia for their pets. I just did one today, but gave the news to two long time clients that their beloved geriatric pets had terminal conditions yesterday.…

Afternoon BBB Leo looks like he is getting a bit thick. Looks like missing breakfast before doggy daycare would be OK. Pork chops on the grill for me. Is there such a thing as Mennonite cuisine? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Logged on this morning and my typed salutation for yesterday's roll call was staring me in the face still waiting for me to hit "post reply". So Happy Belated Birthday Steve. Being the cook in the house probably makes it a bit tougher to keep weight under control. So sorry to hear that you have a…

Mornin' BBB Lou, you are posting about the whipped cream thing just to make my eyeballs pop out of my head, right? In case you are serious, I will comment. If Leo snubs his food, he ain't hungry. Just pick it up and wait until next feeding. Remember, he is neutered now, and his metabolism is not going to run as hot, so he…

Mornin' BBB Many times during the night, Babe smooshes her nose in my face. I would miss it if it didn't happen. Off to the trenches. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Off to the races. Another busy day scheduled. BBB OP ;-)

Afternoon gents. Strawberry rhubarb. Kaluah chocolate chip pecan pie. Mixed berry pie. Ran the dogs this weekend. No love from the judges. Sometimes I think I need a new game to play. Onward and downward ;-)

Good afternoon BBB Tough trial weekend. I could not convince either judge either day that either of my dogs deserved a ribbon. How is the graduate doing? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Medicare sign up stuff arrived yesterday. (( sigh )) Hoping Joanne is back home. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Praying for the news that Joanne is OK and can go home. Naps are healthy, in my opinion. If you need one, and have the time, take it! Obviously, the quality and quantity of your overnight sleep will have an influence on your need for one. Even when I'm at work, if I've had a rough night, a 10 minute power…

Mornin' gents. (((Joanne))) M is recovering from some kind of Colorado daycare upper respiratory bug. She is usually pretty resistant, but it got here this time. DGS seems to be sick more than he feels good as a result of going to daycare. Pediatricians say this is normal for the first 6-12 months, but I say that maybe we…

Mornin' BBB (((Joanne))) Pulmonary embolisms are scary stuff. "Hoe"? Dog training canceled today because our fearless leader has a dog at home having puppies. I will have to train solo today. That is OK, and probably a good thing. I can reinforce obedience before going into the trial this weekend. Last training session,…

Mornin' BBB Fingers crossed, Skip. BBB OP ;-)

I was reading that Larson won the NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway yesterday. I thought of my friend Steve who lives just south of there, thinking it must have been a noisy day. Yesterday was fairly productive for me. I got a fair amount of things done around the house, including a nap and some play time with the dogs. I…

Very proud of Leo and his reluctant masters.

Happy Mother's Day BBB Glorious day here. How is Joanne feeling? How is your DBIL, Kelly? BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Glorious day here. So good to hear Joanne is home. Prayers continue for her and her one armed nurse. Enjoy the day with your favorite mother if you can, and give remembrance to those in absentia. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB I thought you'd maybe do the professorial thing and help shape young minds, instead of the office thing, Skip. Either way, best of luck. Hope there will be video of your oratory efforts. Prayers for Joanne and Kelly's DBIL. BBB OP ;-)

Afternoon BBB We have an American Pope. Who woulda thunk? Hannah is one fine looking hound. Prayers for Joanne and Kelly's DBIL. Amputation is radical, but prostheses and rehab have come a long way. BBB OP ;-)
