Congrats Sour! Sounds like you've got some dogs to be proud of!

I think I'll stay here in my burrow for a while.

The tractor has been out of commission for about three weeks. The last time I tried to use it, it wouldn't start, and I told Critter I thought the battery was toast. He has tinkered with it several times since then, speculating on and finally ruling out problems with safety switches, the keyswitch, etc. He finally narrowed it down to either the starter or . . . the battery. He pulled them both out and took them to the auto parts store, where the battery tested as "needing a charge" when it was just on the charger a week ago. Then they hooked the starter up to a machine, flipped a switch, and the starter whirred to life for the first time in three weeks. Critter looked at me and growled. I went out and sat in the truck while he bought a new battery.

We put the starter and the new battery in the tractor, and hey, whattaya know, it works!

Nice and quiet, here in the burrow. No tractors or other loud noises down here.

it is a dangerous thing, being right.

No problems here - the Princess is always right.

Her mother was always right too, and our daughter and grand daughter have inherited the trait. I think they are so 'right' that all remove the erasers from their pencils. I even heard my FIL tell my MIL that so it must be true.

Alaskan is also lucky to never be right.

Such a good and peaceful life.

Yes, Dear! You're right, Dear!

Yeah, we all know the mantra! The dog house just isn't very comfortable!

but the dog house is so very very quiet.

Alaskan likes quiet.

 

[sourland]

Have the voles, lemmings, rats, mice, and nutria started scampering and singing?

 

[Alaskan]

The entire migration is only barely starting.

Point being i think that the one i saw the other day is only a scout.

No partying yet.

Of course, with that said the cold wind today is so horrifically impressively strong and gusty and wow that there might be a vole party inside my ouse by tonight.

eenie, real life should not be allowed to interfere with involvement in the Kingdom.

Your wit has been missed.







Alaskan, BATHE> Please.

Obviously, my priorities are a mess.

Unfortunately I have been off learning how to be even wittier, with the other result being that I graduate on time and go on to be a traditional, functioning member of society. (White picket fence and all. With chicken feathers sticking out of it.)

lady, being right is not always a good thing.

Tired is what I am. 9 of the past 16 days we have been conducting field trials at my home club. Two were for neighboring clubs, and the third was ours. Thrashing through the brush to flush out

is tiring. On the positive side my dogs did well once again. Rat won for the second week in a row once again defeating a dog owned by his previous owner.

I delight in taking these 'not quite good enough' dogs and training them into winners. Speakeasy got 2nd in the 13" male class and Baby Jayne got 2nd in the 13" b*tch class. They did well. Now I need a shower and a little rest.

Call me 'tired Seoras'

Nice job!
