Patently Bay has a Weenie Wednesday each week featuring Conrad so we (well she really did) decided I should start a Schnauzer Saturday. With a token dash of Ollie in most of the photos.

I swear I have nothing new to say but that I am still cold, and it is still muddy.  With rain coming tonight for the next several days. I am very very grinchy right now.

To all the people who actually took care of Remus before, I tip my hat to you (and probably owe you even more money just for … Continue reading Tell Me Why I Even Bother? Messy Horse, Messy Weather, etc. etc.

Not much changed here since my last blog post. Mud is still here: check. Remus still fat and retired: check. Weather still drunk: check, check. Tate still cute: check, check, check! Today (Friday morning it is 65 degrees out at 6 am and HUMID!) What the hell three days ago it did not get out … Continue reading Same As It Ever Was: My Life

Manhole cover on trail....OMG it might kill me. Wild Turkeys in the next field. HELP CALL 911 I might die (says Remus). … Continue reading Remus Is Not Brave, But A Scaredy Cat, Yes!

Thanksgiving Long Weekend So this blog post is just a mess of this and that so I tried to organize it a bit. I want to get back to blogging regularly again but life needs to slow down a bit.
