Bad morning for Whipper.

She was doing her usual patrolling in front, as my wife was walking to the mailbox (1/3mile from the house), clearing the way of cows/hogs/snakes. She had to stop and nudge a copperhead out of the road and got struck on the snout. She had a very lopsided face this morning but already looking better this afternoon. I could see the two fang puncture marks on her upper lip, poor puppy. We are feeding her soft can food for a few days.

Ed a new study came out on August 1 reenforcing our correct decision to go plant based.

Conclusions and Relevance High animal protein intake was positively associated with mortality and high plant protein intake was inversely associated with mortality, especially among individuals with at least 1 lifestyle risk factor. Substitution of plant protein for animal protein, especially that from processed red meat, was associated with lower mortality, suggesting the importance of protein source.

We replace a couple of our under the cabinet lights a few months ago and somehow ended up with one that has magnetic switch which must be turned on each time we cut on the wall light switch. Went back and reread the package and it was not that clear on the package at all.

Now that would be a pain. I think someone just hit the flat toggle switch somehow.

I had visitors, or at least the van did, a good while ago. Found this behind the heater blower housing today:

Those are the main air intake ports for the fresh air/heater/AC. Not so fresh, eh? :yuck:

Pulled on a respirator, snagged the big chunks out, the doused everything in bleach water. Of course the mouse poo turned to mud, and I used half a roll of Bounty mopping up the mess. Only gagged a few times, so I guess it wasn't that bad. :shocked::yuck: Yeah, I :censored:ing HATE meeses to pieces!

Sorry about your whipper Don. The hog that attacked her should have eaten that snake.

Don Mayo Clinic came out with a diet that says the same, don't know how new it is but it is new to me.

Sorry about wipper. When we were on the farm the dogs would come in all swollen up and would not eat good for a few days. Jack, a pointer we had got more than her share, I guess she hated snakes.
