Maybe she doesn't want to get 'fixed' because in her eyes she is not broken. :)

The new flag is looking good. Gotta love seeing old glory flapping in the breeze. The weather vane is a neat touch.

I saw Stars today. Not stars like on the flag or in cartoons.
But dozens or 100s of bright lights flashing in my eyes.
Little Boy, eager to say hello jumped up & hit me under the chin with his head or nose. It came very close to knocking me out. Loosened a tooth & I think slightly dislocated my jaw. A lot more welcome or hello than I needed. Usually i can push him aside. just didn't see it coming.
I wrist has a 2" scratch & the other has a "V" shaped hunk out of it from him helping me.
Don't think I can stand much more of his helping me or his big hello's.
Will he ever realize he is not a cuddly little puppy any more??

When he is old and arthritic, he will still try. You are his idol and he is EXTREMELY happy to see you.

Yep: I still get a few banged up spots from our 7 year old Lab-Husky mix. Some more sleeping now until I get home then he is awake for a good 20 or 30 min, happy and excited. Then he is wore out for a bit waiting for dinner and usually pins my legs and feet against couch or chair.

Try to train him with SET and STAY commands & use treats to reinforce good behavior then also scolding for bad actions. Must correct them Immediately pointing out the bad action/reaction to him so he knows what he did wrong.

Hi Mark,
Thanks. He knows Stop, no go away, lay down, stay, ETC. But like a spoiled 3 or 4 year old, does not always mind or takes a while to think about it first. He wants to be part of everything I do. Not sure which 1 of us will give in first. If he does not kill me with love, I may just kill him. :D

Worked on fixing the front tire on the tractor today. With some difficulty I got a tube in it. Now getting the bead back over the rim is a real problem. Fought with that until I was worn out. It's about 1/2 way & holding. Maybe tomorrow with the help of a big crow bar maybe I'll get it the rest of the way on. 12 Ply tire hard as a rock without air in it. 3 Hands would also help. :laughing:

Ordered a heater over a week ago, shipper said it should arrive on the 8th. FedEx said it would be delivered on the 9th. No delivery, called them, "said address was typed wrong & she would correct it. 10th Came & went, another call. They didn't have time to change the address, but not to worry, it will be delivered on the 13th. It was shipped ground & ground does not deliver on Sunday or Monday. Needless to say I am very unimpressed with FedEx. Tried to get more answer's from the lady & she hung up on me. Great customer service.

Jim try some type of grease around tire rim . know there are experts on what type but plain axle grease has never eaten a tire of mine so far.
And maybe your dog knows who is boss around there. and just putting up with you.

Interesting about the slow shipment of your heater .in a few months there will not be a need what is your hurry.

I purchased a catalytic type heater . doesn't heat the air just the things in front of the heater. it will keep the room it is in warm.

Has the wind started to blow? It is one of the reasons I left that area. Feb. to July constant blowing made me irritable and hard to get along with . This Ozark region it is sit back and let the world go by. Front porches are for use not to look at.
