It was WAY hotter here last year... this time we were having 116* heat index, the highest we have been this year is 108 that I know of. ETA - our drought has been worse, but has gone from "exceptional" to "severe" I think

I had to double check our weatherman on the weather.com site.... but it's true - the actual temp is 87* with a heat index of only 95.

His kennel is one of the wire ones... a 48 inch one. But he has already (in the past) buckled the door when he decided he wanted out. :rolleyes: . He won't leave my side so it's easy when I am home. I am trying to convince my dad to tether him in their bedroom and he will be fine, he just...

Yes, he has Tramadol and Previcox (basically Rimadyl). My vet said they will give me some sedatives because when I go back to work on Sunday Rio will have to stay with my parents - my mom is wheelchair bound and my dad is less than helpful sometimes (other times he is great - never know which...

oooh mercy! I almost had an epic OFG meltdown at the veterinary surgery center. :somad :rant :smack :rant :somad I had my usual insomnia last night and got about 1 1/2 hours sleep. I finally fed the critters and decided to see about Rio. I called before I left the house and asked if...

Yes , we have many meanings hidden in that syrupy sweet Southern phrase.... you picked the polite ones ;)

Rio had his surgery this morning. I was a nervous nellie all day long and really wanted some of OFG's pie... :drool anyway, surgeon just called and Rio did fine. His ACL was tearing (no duh, doc) so they did the TPLO. The surgeon was still puzzled by how "inconsistent" Rio's pain was. I assured...

A friend of mine had a couple of nice litters of Border Collies. They were fabulous, fast, smart and intense - but she quit pretty quick because she had such a hard time finding the right homes for them. I think she ended up with her breeding pair and 2 of the "leftover" pups. Her male...

Bravo :clap Bravo!!!

I had actually contacted the trainer prior to finding out this surgery was a possibility again. I had lost touch with her and found her on Facebook of all places. Rio has decided he wants to be a little dog aggressive (probably protecting that leg) so I got some tips from her on working with...

Aww... sorry to hear about April. What a shame :(

Nah, I knew you didn't mean it that way ;) I was just giving a history lesson on why I am the way I am about spending $$ on my animals. The last several nights (actually over a week now) I have not been able to go to sleep at night. I think it is because I am doing my gym workouts after...

I thought there was already an account with bail money? Has it been thrown away on tequila and pie again?

Oooh I'm good at water bath canning! :ya Not nearly as intimidating! hehe SD - when I worked at the vet through high school and saw so many animals put down because of money, I promised myself right then and there that if the funds were available I would spend them. I figure I am taking on a...

I didn't make it to the farmer's market. Didn't make it to a reunion I was supposed to go to. I just didn't go anywhere. We have finally been getting good steady rain and I just wanted to stay home. It started raining Friday night and has been a light steady rain pretty much the entire...

:lau :pop

We had a jolly good time here in '04 as well, particularly with Ivan the terrible. I actually LOVE storms (hate the aftermath) so I sat out on my parent's covered back porch pretty much all night. I made occasional trips out to the barn to check on the horses, until the pecan tree along my...

Well it looks like Rio's torn ACL has worsened. My vet was able to manipulate it and get movement even without Rio being sedated. They are sending the referral to the ortho surgeon again, but reminding him I have already been there just a month ago so I won't have to jump through all of the...

We are going to have folks who do aquaponic farming at our market this week... I am interested to talk to them! http://palafoxmarket.com/ http://millerfamilyaquaponics.blogspot.com/
