"Mugging you off." I love it! Thank you for another British saying!
The "Razor" scooter I bought back when it was at its height of popularity. Can you believe $100 at Walmart? Notice that piece of stainless steel over the brake?
Here's the significance: I bought this back in Minnesota so my boy, Magnum, could pull me! After a couple falls which saw me landing on my elbows on the asphalt, I purchased a set of pads.
Okay, why the piece of stainless steel? It did not take many rides with my freight train pulling me along the gritty road and me riding the brake for that brake to become worn through. Back then, I worked at a metal fabrication plant and could occasionally bring home some scrap. This is some really nice stainless. You can see how I fashioned it with pliers into just the right shape. This was years ago. I figured I'd try attaching it with JB Weld. It didn't last long until it fell off.
Fast forward a couple decades to last week: My wife and I were doing some organizing/purging of the stuff in our basement when I found the piece of stainless! This is after four moves to different residences by me! I set it aside excitedly. A few days later, I took a look in our now basement to see if maybe I still had the scooter, and my wife had not made me get rid of it. After a few minutes, I found it folded up and in the corner of the basement! WOO HOO!
So, this past Sunday I undertook the task of attaching the stainless brake piece via a bolt/lockwasher/washer/nut combination. I intended to install a second bolt at the tail end, but the stainless was so hard to drill through even with my high quality bits (of which I broke two) that I decided it might work to just use the one attachment point.
Yep! It worked!! It was a sheer pleasure for both my daughter and me to go scootering together! Sorry, Oji, I just don't trust you to pull me – especially since I think I got rid of my knee/elbow/wrist pad set.

Well Long story short we went to the Doberman rescue Ontario last weekend. Audrey was abit confused of bunny.
Generally bunny dose not survive but she was scared of this one.
Ps: she was scared of actual rooster first. I took her to introduce them. She smelled their poop abit then she attack the whole barn. I am glad she was on leash. It was her one pure dobi waiting for Chikens to make a mistake to be history. She started digging under the fence to get into Chiken barns. We obviously needed to leave as she was not moving off the Chiken killing duty! This is the look. Must get must kill huntting is on:

She’s a great poser, @XerxesYoga! 
The more I look at the ‘bunny’ in the picture the more it’s freaking me out
Lol

Poor gal
pad would be a tough spot. This Dingo hasn't learned to pace herself in the new house! When we're home, she goes from window barking, to fussing about the location of the cat, to chasing 'tinkerbells' with an insane ferocity. She plum tires herself out, these days! She NAILED agility class last night, though!! Man I can't wait to start competing
I think we're waiting for a bunch of people in class to get their CPE numbers so we can attend a competition as a group of newbies together.
^^ Aw, she looks content!
We brought her home from the field after playing ball, gave her a drink outside and we see this...
She’s been really good about leaving the sock alone. Just going to keep a close eye on her. No running for a little while. She’s not going to be a happy camper

No kidding! I'm so glad Rubie's foot gash was somewhere staple-able. 1. to get it to heal as fast as possible and 2. to prevent it from reopening every time she moved and bleeding EVERYWHERE.
Oh no! Poor Buddy He’s looking very sorry for himself.
It could of been glass a sharp rock or something else. We’re not really sure as she’s running a trillion miles an hour
Not the best pic but check out her pad. Can you see the slice at the edge?

Poor baby. I don’t think half the time they realize they are injured. We see the blood and freak out and they are what’s wrong Mom?!?! Let’s play.Oh no! Poor Buddy

My two will keep on playing while injured until I see blood or examine them each evening.
Cool! It's the smaller specimens of the breed that can really tear it up in agility!Poor gal

This cracked me up lol 
Of course you know it's tough to not wrap the paw too tightly because they will try to get it off; but once I wrapped a paw too tightly after my boy stepped on the end of a metal hanger. Later, I pulled the wrap off and the paw was so swollen – oh no! But it went back to normal size soon. Fortunately there was no infection from the metal intrusion. I used rubbing alcohol like I seem to use for most things.Oh no! Poor Buddy
