The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Well mixed news from the pack as we work through the season. Sadly Toby had a swollen hock and infection so it was a trip to the vet, painkillers, steroids and antibiotics. He now has two weeks rest.

But without him Ben, Sam, and Jack have stepped up,and done some amazing work. In particular Jack is developing brilliantly and finding birds off his own back.

Then we have Will, a lovely dog one to one and coming along superbly. Put him with the others and he is a near 9 month old thug. He is huge for his age and simply batters them at every opportunity. He is put in his place occasionally but largely tolerated as pups are lol
Poor toby... i hope he is ok after some rest
And will.... be a good boy. Your brotherscare gonna get you if you don't

Hope Toby heals up fully.
Sounds like Will needs to grow into his size still.
Exciting that Jack and the others are doing so well.
No time for a catch up.

Rushing to get stuff done before winter, and then a snow storm hit for a few minutes while I was driving today. So I can officially say it has snowed.

Of course, I'm really feeling the need to get stuff done now!
Sounds like a White Rabbit sort of day :oops:

Daisy Poodle arrived at the farm, all chocolatey Labrador and about full grown. She's built like the ideal 'Murrikan football nose tackle. She had been a chicken-killing cow chaser, so she needed a home and gone from there. She didn't take to my tone of voice right off (I can/do sound firm) and I had to make a point to speak to her quietly. Tolerates the firing of arms, backs up to body dog - he's the show and she's the thug - and I don't wonder who is in charge of everything when I'm not there.
 
Dr. Tyler at the vet. Bone vet. She has rebrokenerized one of the breaks that had (sorta) healed from the break(s) winter before last. The ones with all the fucking drama. She doesn't get that she has to keep her shoulders square with her pelvis, so No Twisting at the Waist. Anyway. This time, he advised shooting some goobledigoop into the crack - a mixture of construction adhesive, Portland cement, and small aggregate. That'll take care of the fracture and the pain in one clip. He did call in more dope for her. She is only tookening half a pill, cheap drunk she is. He can get her into the garage in a week or two, after her PCP lets her off the blood thinners.
 
Plucked the apples off two trees tonight. They got a lot sweeter in the last few days, so rather than feed more venison...

The big apple tree might need another week or two. Looked last year, and they were picked mid November.

Of course it was beautiful looking out there just before we started. Rainbow and all. Soon as we started picking, it started raining again.

I love your descriptions of the animal menagerie you've got, @Wat_Tyler 🥰

Shore that shit up!
Hope it works as well for her as it did my uncle. 🫂

That's Mother Nature's way of helping. The more arduous the effort, the sweeter tasting the reward, right? 🌈 🌧️

Wow. That is spectacular!
 
Nice to be home. I ended up taking a mid morning flight. Early business brekkie, off to the airport, and back home and online by 2pm.

A lot of work stuff.

Then to Toronto Monday. Should be fun since they’re in the World Series. Too bad the games are at LA next work week. 🫤 but should be fun. Everyone’s gonna be World Series crazy.
