I wasn't allowed for 2 months. Had surgery the first of May, got the okay to drive in July. DH had his surgery the 24th. Like my PT therapist said, just because they gave you the okay to drive didn't mean they wanted you to drive THAT far....

Talk about being a comedian.

Morning folk. Beautiful August day here here that reminds me of the Neal Diamond song Brother Love's Traveling Show. The line that goes Hot August nights and the leaves hanging down and the grass on the ground smelling sweet.

I have picked up some bronchitis from somewhere. Either my allergies or too much hospital exposure and something finally got me.

So I'm taking it easy today. Anybody who believes that raise your right hand....anybody?

They are a pain though, one more nail to cut.

and they don't wear down like the other claws do.

most hunter's want them removed up here. I have actually had 2 dogs rip/mangle their dew claws requiring emergency surgery. These are not fully bone attached to the "wrist" so it should be no problem when he is 6 months old or so.

The front ones are attached usually. Back ones aren’t.

BUT! I’m sure ripping them off is much more traumatic so probably best to cut them off in some situations. But I’m glad Brew has his.

That is true

Oh wait you meant attached to the bone, sorry. Yeah, I guess that part is true. But Brew uses his all the time lol but for hunting I can see why. Unless they were near icy water like the video

N.P. is Nurse Practitioner usually listed as ARNP advanced registered nurse practitioner. P.A. is Physician's Assistant Almost the same thing just a little different testing for license depending which state you live in. The mor letters behind their name the more education they have.

and the more they can charge you.

Granny that is just freaking amazingly fantastic! Great job you guys.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about Cynthia and her little Bella. Still, sending up more prayers.

I made a tough decision tonight to leave my coop doors open. All the doors open to the run and the run is hot wired high and low. The coop doesn't have a lot of windows in it, just two large and one small that I have covered with plexiglass. So most of the air circulation comes from the north facing door and the south facing window. When I went out to feed and water tonight it felt like a sauna in the coop. The temp right now is 75 but the humidity is 95%. All the hens were sitting on the roost bars with their wings out panting and a couple of the older roosters were even more uncomfortable so hopefully having more air circulating will help them.

Sounds so good OMG

it is yummy and you can add some butter to the mix as well. It sort of turns into hot peaches in a carmel sauce. Especially when it hits the cold ice cream.

most springers don't even have back dew claws. At least non of mine have OR any breeder/owner that I know has either.
