Happy Birthday Pebbles! And Eve & Sweet Pea! Wish I knew my girls birthdays. Like a lot of ladies, they don't want to talk about their ages.
Rjohns....close to 100 here too. Pulled out the fans. The girls parked themselves in front of them before I could even get them turned on. They may not be able to count, but they sure have good memories. As soon as I set the fans down they plopped themselves in front of them. No....they aren't spoiled. I've said this before, the cold down here doesn't bother me, but the heat scares me. And boy this coonhound is a creature of comfort too! If its chilly, he uses his blankie. Now that it's getting hot, he sprawls in front of the a/c.

Poor baby bird! Hope it gets better.

Hot here. Storms expected. Girls took a dust bath somewhere yesterday and shook out the dirt on my back porch. Dirt everywhere. Looks like they enjoyed themselves. Couldn't find any craters....not sure where they bathed.

Got the coonhound out on a training run last night. He did good. Ran them over two hours. So doubt he'll move much today. I'm getting better at moving through the woods without hurting myself.

You guys normally get snow this late in the season? It's almost 90 down here! Girls sitting on the porch rail panting a bit. Just gave them some blueberries.

Coonhound hasn't moved yet. Poked him to make sure he was still alive. Poor guy. They ran their skinny hound hineys off last night. We ran four dogs together. These were experienced hunt champions getting ready for competition. Mine is still young & learning but kept up with the mature dogs. The older dogs weren't cutting my pup any breaks. Competitive group. No goofing around. As soon as we lined them up & let them loose they shot off. No socializing. It's so interesting to me how these sweet couch potatoes can immediately be focused. They sure know their jobs. That's what my pup needs to learn....no playing....get on it. Good learning experience for him! We were in the low rolling hills of North Mississippi. You could hear their bays bouncing around. It was pretty cool.

Feedman....I like Blue Slates & Bourbon Reds! But maybe I'm a bit prejudiced.
