FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

March 26, 2009

We went to a really neat farm/ranch sale up the road many years ago. I don’t remember all the rural do-dads that Tom bought, but I do recall getting this sign. We thought it was funny on the dog house because it doesn’t say exactly what the guard is armed with. In my mind, it’s usually a ferocious weapon like very bad gas. Considering Lilly’s recent, prolonged tummy upset, likely from hunting and eating voles, it seemed appropriate to show you this now.

This dog house sits in our good sized dog “pen” off the garage. We only
use it as a safe place to potty after dark, with our current dogs, but
I might want to teach any future pups to be OK hanging out in the pen
as a good backup strategy. Thanks to crazy-warm weather, all the winter
snow is gone, so we were able to clean the pen out and put
down fresh straw.

I didn’t realize Lilly blinked until I got the photo uploaded, so let’s pretend this is her squinty, Clint Eastwood, “make my day” face.

Would you dare enter? I wouldn’t.

Weather update: It’s snowing like crazy here today … finally. They predict 1-2 feet of snow for us, but they’ve said that before this winter and have been wrong. But, it really is snowing hard this morning, so we have high hopes. Maybe I can show some videos of Lilly in a snow bank tomorrow.

  1. It’s amazing how the right accessories can make a dog look like a real tough customer! And I can’t believe you are potentially getting 1-2 feet of snow! We’ll need pictures! It is warm and spring-like here!
