We both took Thursday & Friday off to make it a 5 day weekend. Our mini vacation started off very sad. We had to have her most treasured companion put down. Otto was a 13 year old Doberman- Rottweiler cross. He was everything you could ever want, sane, calm, focused, dependable, kind to all and very attached to Nancy. It was very evident something had changed recently & Thursday morning we took him to our vet, who confirmed our fears. She offered to come out to the house where he would be more comfortable & we accepted. Very hard, as many of you know.
We also picked up our new truck, same day. I suggested we put it off but, she said, "let's just get it done". We both are very happy with it, though I understand her lack of enthusiasm.
We put my old scrounged hay equipment to the test, 75 bales off our small field. I was impressed. I mowed it earlier this year when I figure it was way past haying due to all the rain so, I'm very pleased.
Three more days off & I'm going to do everything I can to make them good ones.
We sure are missing otto though. He is irreplaceable.

Torin, very sorry to hear about your dog. :(

I thought of you the other day when i drove through your neighborhood. I'll end up working most of the weekend, but my wife got out at noon today so we went to the fair for the afternoon and had a great time. Also trying to enjoy some of the last weekend of summer. You'll love that new truck !!

Good Afternoon Torin,
Really sorry to hear about your Otto ! My dog Fritz was 13 1/2 when we had to put him down, it was a very difficult day, and we still miss him dearly !

Good luck with your new truck ! :)

Thanks guys. Otto's loss does leave a void. Nancy is handling it ok, considering.
We both love the new truck. I put over 300 miles on it this weekend. My first new vehicle since '87!:)
We might get over to the Hopkinton fair tomorrow, should be fun. I hope you all are enjoying this great weather.
