Duff is feeling much better! Homemade meals sure seem to be helping. A bit more energy but not enough for daily woods walking which is just fine. BOLO comes daily Duff every 3rd day. and I'm good w that. Duff likes cooler weather anyway.

out and about in the woods before 0800.
That means leaving the house around 0700'ish.
Today and tomorrow will be another hot 31C.
MacDuff can no longer tolerate the heat so we go early.
BOLO tolerates almost any weather.
Flicked off 6 ticks from the 3 of us.
ugh
autumn has these
hungry beasties

Had a delivery this morning
hens started laying August 3rd
only 6 a day so far
one hen did a walkabout last night w the horses
"declined" to go into the coop this morning.
She likes the drive shed and the paddock. Horses will protect her from any coyote.
such pretty pretty eggs

Dad took me on numerous outings, all of them out of doors
no matter the weather
we had adventures!
but
I don't recall any of them.

My good friend's dog.
Penny is her name.
I call her PennPenn.
She can be very spicy and independent
but
with me
it's a love fest.
