yep third degree got blisters and everything... Happend in 1966 or 67.... I have had third degree sunburn after that... patch in the shape of a V to match a sweater I wore while riding one day... Blisters and scabs and scars for that one. I was about seventeen then. I was spending between nine and ten hours in the saddle exploring this little town.

I HATE irresponsible dog owners!! Ok, so, first of all, I have 5 dogs. 2 pyrenees, 1 Bernese, and two pitbull mixes. I was walking my male Pyrenees and two female pit mixes down the road, ON LEASHES. When we passed by a house, and a golden retriever came out on the road, growling. I knew this dog, and it had come and attacked our larger dogs on my property, and had lost, so I was pretty surprised that it followed us for a bit. On my way home, the dog came running towards us growling. The owner saw this, and SLOWLY started walking towards us, calling the dog. I'm sorry, but when I have three, big, angry dogs that I'm holding, you could at least try to hurry. The dog attacked my youngest mix, and I started kicking him trying to get him off. I was about ready to let my dog go because she is dog aggressive, and was going crazy not being able to. Defend herself properly. I'm still kicking away at the dog, and the owner is standing there, in front of me, calling the dog!!!! Didn't try to get it or anything! Finally the dog turned towards me, and the guy grabbed the dog. Pretty sure he was too scared to get in the midst of my very angry dogs to grab his own. Stupid coward. He literally had to drag the dog home because it layed on the ground and wouldn't get up. My two pit mixes were ready to go after it, as they're both pretty dog aggressive. Needless to say, I'm still pretty upset. I can no longer let my dogs out in the yard because both of the mixes can climb out, and I know exactly where they'll go. The sad part is that that dog has attacked all of mine at least once, and gotten beaten every time. I guess he thought he could beat up two 7 month old puppies instead.

Of course coffee breaks include brownies, cookies, or other good food, as well as a one gallon jug of coffee.

Of course!!!! (That's why I'm so fat) lol

We made s'mores tonight. Used a candle... Thundering outside again.

Candle, why didn't I think of that?!?!?!
I really like s'mores!!! I'll have to try your candle trick!

We have been missing you!!! Hopefully you have been gone doing fun spring/summertime stuff.

Today was the first day we actually weeded the garden bed and mowed.


Some years we never mow...simply because I don't think it is a big deal.... however I gotta say, a mowed lawn sure does look all kinds of pretty!
w

we only mowed the south side lawn... the grass on the north side of the house isn't really growing yet.

Nope, boring school stuff mostly.

We've been weeding and mowing for a month now (not bragging; although, I don't have to do either of those, DH and the kids handle them). =D I'm thankful for that!!!

Now I don't feel bad about sounding like I was bragging about mowing. Yeah, a mowed lawn is pretty. =)

We only mow part of the yard at a time, b/c we'd have to mow for two days straight if we did it all at once.

Yup, and palmeto bugs too.

I just googled 'what is a waterbug' and THIS image came up...



EWWW!!!! I'm probably going to see that thing in my nightmares.

It's funny you have Pitts and pyrenees. My pyrs hate pitts, they won't tolerate them. Every Pyr I've owned has been prejudice of pitts. I've tried to socialize them with pitts and they just won't tolerate the breed. I commend you for having the two breeds get along! I also hate it when people don't keep their dogs in their yards. We found a stray and took her home, couldn't find her owners no matter how hard we tried. We kept her as well as we could but she was a true escape artist, I was about to have the baby so we were going to take her to a rescue because we won't own a dog that won't stay in our enormous (4 acres) and well fenced yard. The neighbors begged us to give her to them so we did. Well now she roams in everyone's yard, runs in front of cars, 4 wheelers, tractors etc and antagonizes our dogs at the fence. Well then she turned up pregnant and yesterday we go to our shed to get a tool and we hear whining. There's 8 puppies under our shed so we have to jack it up and crawl under to save them because we saw an opossum in the yard the day before. Now the neighbors want the dog and puppies but she's skin and bones and they don't have a secure run to put her in... *sigh* I'm not going to release them into an unsafe environment and besides I want to keep one of the pups and if they get them back they will probably end up dead.
