Happy Birthday Asha, and here's to many more! 🍰:beer:

Wow, that must've been some horse there!

So glad to see my Oskar is not the only one that screams like a banshee. Yes, it is embarrassing, stop at a rest stop, let him out of the truck/car, and he starts screaming, people look at me, thinking I'm beating him for sure. I get home from the grocery store, he meets me at the gate...

Oskar has Pannus, so he needs to wear them to protect his eyes from UV. He also has discoid lupus, so on a hot day, we go to the lake for play. I really look forward to winter, and snow, so we can go for walks in the middle of the day.

I keep all my buckets upside down, otherwise I end up with dead mice.

Today at the lake

In 2024 I did a multi day, point to point, bike trip in Scotland. I was SUPER impressed by the people and their dogs. On trails that were for bikes and pedestrians, not one dog was out of order, even the dogs that were off leash. When the bikers came upon people, the people had their dogs...

Would you mind if I copy and paste this on a couple of Craigslists Pets?? I love it.

Yes, I've made that mistake too. Oskar will be on a sit, or down stay, and I'm talking to someone and say, "Okay" in the conversation, and he's up and gone. What an idiot I am.

Where do you have to go to see a Vet? I've a friend in Cordova, no Vets there, they have to fly to Anchorage. Makes it really rough if you've a pet emergency. Is there a traveling Vet that visits your island?

Oh no, I don't know of very many people that can have a male Doberman and a second male dog too, and have the dogs get along. And if things are getting a "little scary", they might not get any better, and possibly get worse..

OMG, that is some elevation! Tevis tops at 8,75', 10,400' is insane!

Well, my watchband isn't too bad. I soaked, and scrubbed, it in the baking soda/dish soap/peroxide mixture, but it still stank some. So, I had a bright idea, I soaked it in Listerine for 24 hours. Much better, I can wear my watch again.

Yup, for the 100's you had to have the right horse. I wanted to do Tevis on my Anglo Arab in 98, but after doing 50's, I knew he just didn't have it in him to do a 100. So, Several months before Tevis 98 I got ahold of Potato Richardson. My first claim to fame. I leased a horse from Potato...
