Rehabing an abandoned property in the Mountains.
Bought some knock off sonicare heads. They look similar until you get close. The knockoff head bristles are sharp, covered in debris, blue and black contamination in the plastic (recycled plastic), irregular rough bristle shafts. The sonicare bristles are uniform, clean, and have a rounded tip.

51 weeks old. I consider him about halfway to being an adult.

It was a rainy weekend but we did spend some time at the lagoon.

There’s been a large branch in the water for months now. Ransom couldn’t find the stick I threw and thought it was this branch. He dragged it out of the water. Good Boy!

50 weeks old.
Getting so close to being 1 year old.

It was a busy weekend but we did make it out for a walk to pizza.

Huge log floating down river. Ransom kept eyeing logs as they went by. This is why we switched to the creek for swimming.

Here’s Ransom in our creek looking like an otter. We’ll have to do a little more clearing up to make this nicer for him. The main river is way too crazy during the wet season.

River got bigger than predicted. It had been around 6” all summer during the dry season. We had a prediction of just over 5’. It looks like it peaked at 8.36’
Here’s a couple pics at 6” vs 8’

49 Weeks. River was high so we took Ransom to our spring fed creek for some swimming. Definitely much colder than the summer warmed pool we had been visiting. The spring water comes out of the ground at around 40f. We also went on a ride for pizza and beer.

Pretty happy with this latest cl score. Judging from the inside and nearly clean grease tray, I’d say it was used less than 3 times. I’m going to install a quick connect on our exterior natural gas line and never need propane for grilling again. Also never owned a bbq this fancy (or heavy) before.

Bunches of King boletes were popping up around a hillside. Also found a funky looking group of oyster mushrooms on a stump I inoculated years back. Both mushrooms were just a bit beyond the point I’d like to harvest. Bugs got there first.

Ransom having a big talk with his new friend ‘Cera.

48 weeks! Getting closer to Ransom’s birthday.

It was a wet nasty weekend but Ransom got some new toys to make it less boring.
October 27, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Depends. There’s 2 beds upstairs, 1 in the crate and 1 out. He prefers sleeping in the closet on a comforter. Wouldn’t use the bed when I put it in the closet. Doesn’t use the crate much anymore. I had a stack of puppy beds in the living room he outgrew but he knocked them over and squeezed into one

@yotice.bsky.social bought a new toy bin for Ransom and this happened.

He was looking at pizza.
Stopped by Mod after a walk to the local dog park.

47 weeks!

We got to do a some swimming early in the day before the rain hit and the river swelled. It pretty much rained straight after that. Still got some relaxing in and stayed productive despite the rain. Ransom spent the rest of the weekend playing with his best friend Zeus.

This was immediately after fixing Hoghog. He’s so happy to see his friend again. So many wags.
October 14, 2025 at 2:15 PM
Ransom was excited to talk with Hoghog again after I fixed its grunter.

46 weeks.

We’re getting pretty close to Ransom’s birthday. I’m really looking forward to celebrating his birthday and the memory of our previous collies, Riley and Tay.

It was a rainy weekend so we took Ransom on a couple car rides. We did make it out for a walk and mostly avoided a thunderstorm.

Ransom trying to lead us towards the deeper water so he can do some swimming.

Pizza Trip!

Took Ransom into town for pizza.
He was very excited about getting to sit in the front seat. He was even more excited when he found out I hunted a whole pizza to share with the pack.
