*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Remember Sabine?….. Pretty Irish Wolfhound….. Nice furnishings….. Upright feet….. Good conformation….. Pretty eyes….. ………….idiot…………. She’s the one that’s not the brightest crayon in the box….. Before being born…she got in the line for trains…when they were handing out brains….. …..and she’s proved it………….again….. She’s way too old (dare I say matured?) to still be chewing up random things….. …..and yet….. If left unchecked…she’ll slip off into the bathroom and take the hand towel…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Maybe this post should more accurately be called…”The Saga of Sabine”….. This poor ole’ hound…she’s still not the sharpest knife in the drawer….. …..and her nose keeps getting her in trouble….. She’s the kind of hound my Father would’ve  loved….. He’d say she’s perfect…not too smart…all hound-business & focus…with a decent enough nose….. …..that dog’ll hunt….. You might remember that the chicken coop is just off of my bedroom….. …..it’s through a glass…

Inside the house…we felt the thud….. …..someone got yeeted….. We heard the squeaks and then multiple snarls & growls….. I quickly found myself standing in the middle of agitated milling hounds…trying to piece together what had happened….. The story…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Yep…our chimney’s needed some prompt attention for quite some time now….. Replacing the chimney cap can’t be put off any longer….. We used to be a one bucket family….. But now we’ve progressed to being a two bucket home….. And…I’d like to point out that during rain storms…the rainwater runs down the chimney…across the hearth…and onto the den floor in a sooty-slurry….. …..messy stuff….. …..(however…it does have a nice after-burn/creosote smell to it…I…
