Good morning again -
Well this morning looks better for our Corgi. They let her out of critical care and she's at home due for surgery. I probably would have had to go with the difficult decision of putting her down when faced with a $5K surgery bill. But then I'm sure the divorce would me more.

Now I need an affordable pet insurance health program.

Why do Corgi's sleep on their back? And sploot?

I googled "sploot". The #1 result was Corgi's laying flat on their bellies. The other results were pretty disgusting!! Goood that the dog is better. We recently put our boxer down, it bothered me more than burying relatives. Bubba had cancer, no stopping it. Have a good one!!

54 now, and getting cooler. A little rain also. I need to test my generator, and change the oil. I am going to HD this afternoon, need to get furnace filters for the shop, and home. Also need to get some paint out of the barn so it doesn't freeze. I disconnected the hoses and put them all away, turned the outside water off. We are still getting sweet potatoes from our garden. I need to pull all the tomatoe vines up, and dispose of them. Have a good one, boys!!

Our male boxer used to lay on his back to sleep. He looked ridiculus, but that was Bubba.

I'm going to guess it has something to do with keeping cool
vs. any exhibitionist tendencies..;)

Have you had a hard freeze yet?
How are Partridge this year?

No hard freeze yet. The two mornings we had frost, it was really frozen dew that had set earlier. The result is the same as spraying water on fruits to protect them from frost. :laughing: We have petunias and delphiniums still blooming. It seems like a true frost would only happen when the dew point is below 32* ???

I only saw one hen this year doing the broken wing act. I think they are less than last year when the drumming went on forever. It's always easier to tell with some snow, the tracks are better indicators.

We've had 8 boxers, not counting the litters and they ALL did this to varying degrees. Males to a lesser extent although our current boy does it against the wall. One of our young girls did it daily, almost always when getting on our bed just for a nap. Sometimes they look really comical.
