Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2020 - post yours!

I lost my second wedding ring years ago and found it this morning. While doing scooper duty, I saw a shiny half circle in the mud in a place that has runoff from the hill. I thought it was a ring from the screw top of a bottle and I picked it up because it could hurt the dogs.

After my original ring got too tight and Jeri had to work it (painfully) off with string and oil, she started looking for a replacement. She found this one at a Scandinavian festival. It looks very similar to our wedding rings, which are gold and platinum.

It's inscribed with Jeri & Art in Viking runes. The only damage is the black enamel that filled the runes is gone.

@obbanner How cool is that that you found it! I bet you were really excited!

Years ago, my husband had to cut off his own wedding ring. He never wore anything after that. And when I got horses back in 2003, I had my wedding ring get caught on my horse's halter. She nearly tore my finger off when she suddenly raised her head. Since that time, I never wear any rings on my hands. Only when I go out somewhere. It was hard at first. When I first was married I never went anywhere without my wedding ring. But out here it's just too dangerous.

It's really hot around here. Heat indexes in the triple digits so Rue is getting her exercise early in the morning.
Surveying where she wants to start.

Yes, that really was a surprise when I realized what it was after all these years. As I was bending down, I was thinking, "No.... it can't be!". I didn't know where I lost it, so didn't know where to look for it.

I was too stubborn to cut it off. My wife doesn't call me the Stubborn Swede for nothing! Jeri wrapped a string around my finger many times and worked it off by pushing the ring over my knuckle while unwinding the string. That hurt like anything, but she got it off after about fifteen minutes. I lost too much weight to wear it, but it's nice to have it. I didn't lose enough yet for my original ring to fit.

A friend lost his finger about fifty years ago when his ring got caught on a basketball hoop just after he got married. That was before fingers were reattached.

I don't wear my ring when using power tools, working with electricity or when I have to grip something firmly.

Jemma’s new job involves stamp collections. Stamps from all over the world. Thought I’d start a little Dobermann stamp collection seeing as they’re all so beautiful.

Well happy birthday, handsome!!!!

@obbanner and @MyBuddy when we did our road trip to Yellowstone last year, it was what we were calling our 'honeymoon.' I definitely did not want to wear my rings but, ya know, celebrating the whole marriage thing without something seemed weird.

We actually both got silicon rings for that trip. Since this Covid stuff happened, I actually put my silicon ring on and haven't taken it off for sleeping or showering or working in the yard. It was cheap so losing it isn't really a big concern and it won't tear your finger off if it gets caught (yay!...). Mine is thin and white but they come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and sizes!

That's so cool you found it, though! My mom swears she 'lost' a 2 carat diamond solitaire ring she inherited. I would love for that one to pop back up someday... I am the oldest child!

I didn’t share this on Mothers Day. So I don’t have kids (yet). Jasper is my baby in a way. Love him to death like we all love our dogs. Adam made this card from Jasper. Yeah, I teared up reading it. Jasper had a small streak of being a pain not long before mothers day. But he apologized haha!

Well let me put it this way. When I was going to adopt Kali, the people called my vet to get his opinion if we would be a good home for her. Especially being that a three-year-old Doberman already lived in the home. My vet said, 'I'm more worried about Buddy.'

She could be quite bossy. And Buddy is a gentleman. But there are still times where she knows her place with Buddy!
