Getting licensed in CO for me has been pretty simple since I have been practicing in CT for umpteen years. They have what is called reciprocity.

Mornin' BBB Steph, make sure you pass through Saddle String and look up the local game warden, Joe Pickett. Miss Naughty Pants placed third in the Amateur stakes this past weekend. Amateur National is in Terre Haut this year. Indiana, here we come! Dennis, it is a good movie. Worth a watch. I understand that DC has a…

Mornin' gents. Been super busy and thus MIA. Field trial last weekend. Mosquitoes were horrible on Saturday. DEET was very helpful. Lucy, aka Miss Naughty Pants, got an amateur placement which also is a requirement to attend the Amateur National in Terre Haut, IN this December. Work is busy, but a good busy. I am also in…

Um…that is a Watusi, not a Texas Longhorn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankole-Watusi

Hot here yesterday. Dog training kinda wiped me and the pooches out. Another hot one today, thunderstorms this afternoon, then cooling off for the weekend. Good for the dog trial in CT we are attending this weekend. Off to work. Glad to have AC. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Great to hear the biopsy was negative and you are not hurting, Kelly. Hope you celebrated on GON. Hot here yesterday. Dog training kinda wiped me and the pooches out. Another hot one today, thunderstorms this afternoon, then cooling off for the weekend. Hannah looks like such a sweet girl. How was the cookout,…

Mike, have you ever hike Mt Washington? I understand it is challenging and even dangerous. I was just reading about a 58 yr old hiker found dead on Mt Katahdin in Maine, and his daughter that was him missing. So you are already on a statin and the doc wants you to take another one in combination, or switch you to another…

Mornin' BBB I am going to guess that Skip is now working at the Pentagon. DC traffic is legendary. Dogs are usually 1/2 of their adult weight when they are 4 months old, so how big was she then? Growth rates vary after that, with smaller dogs topping out quicker than bigger dogs. At 6 months, Hannah is probably about 80%…

Mornin' BBB

Mornin' gents. Praying for Joanne to graciously give in and get to the Dr to get checked out. Freshly baked blueberry muffins. Yum. Hard to resist for sure. Icing my knee after doing some PT this morning. Take care of of those knees, Steve. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Sadly I missed what Skip's countdown was in reference to yesterday. Glad to hear you have the better half home, Skip. Bachelorhood is not what it is cracked up to be. Wet and chilly weekend for a hunt test in upstate NY. Near the only Stephentown on earth. Lucy did a good job. Lots of interesting characters in…

Mornin' gents. From a weekend in the 40's and then soaring into the 80's. Yeesh. Got completely soaked Saturday, and although drier on Sunday, it was a bit overcast and chilly. Dogs did not care. Lucy did her job and got 2 qualifying scores. She now has 3 Qs and needs a total of 6 for her Master Hunter title. Spent the…

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 ;-)
