So if you didn't do anything airgun related what did you do today?

[Hoosier Daddy]

Went back to work today.
Prednisoze and a couple "bumps" off the Albuterol inhaler made it tolerable.
 NOW they are on me about my BP... 196/95 apparently is bad.

Simple one today, I did nothing at all !

Two days ago I was building a surround using Quartzite, which is plentiful on my property, it also looks better than regular rocks.  I was building the surround for the Address indicator and maybe a place for the wife to plant some flowers in a large pot, well actually maybe a 1/2 Wine Barrel, a little larger than expected.
I set a stone but was a little off on the ground footing level... WHAM-BAM the "B" fell over on top of my foot. 
So... everything I have to do outside has a lot of dirt in it... that's not happening.

Tomorrow we will see if things are different.

[Firewalker]

I put up mosquito traps, fly traps and will put up Tanglefoot coated buckets tomorrow since we seem yo have gotten a bumper crop of all three this summer.

I had to put one of my dogs down today.   It wasn't fun.   I miss him already.  He was a calm and wise dog.

Sad to hear this Ernie. Sorry for your loss.

Ticking time bomb with those numbers plus you're blowing out your kidneys and damaging your eye sight. Heck, my VA doc back in Commiefornia about had a fit when mine was 162 over 101. My kidney function was at a dangerous level and I have floaters in my eyes from it a year and a half later but no where near as bad as it was.

Be really vigilant with taking the Prednisoze. Stopping it or even missing a dose is bad news.

Sorry you had to do that, I'm sure you gave him a good life.
I dread the day we'll have to do it with our pooch.

[avator]

Yeah, Rambo and Boss are both getting long in the tooth. Sad that it's inevitable.

I'm sorry Ernie.  I had to put down Toby in 2000. He was 1/2 Dachshund and 1/2 Jack Russell. The absolute best dog ever.  We had Toby for 12 years.

We've never gotten another dog since Toby because I don't think I could ever have found one like him.

[avator]

Betty Lou and I were talking.... Rambo and Boss are the last for us too.

[buellm2]

Once you've had a really good dog your life is changed.   But we still love our knucklehead dogs.

My heart goes out to you.  Flash, Flytrap, and myself ain’t getting any younger.

Sorry to hear of your loss today! We went thru the same two years ago. We had another in today for annual plus an ever increasing fear of thunder and gunshots. Trazadone and Xanax aren't doing it anymore for him and vet dropped the ball. We had been accepted into a study with hope of it helping and vet got us disqualified by re RXing a discontinued med last visit  and was clueless on the issue. Poor guy gets surgery on top of it next month. Odd thing is it's just those noises and airbrakes. Unmuffled race cars he gets excited more so if riding in one.

Did the fear of those noises affect his health?

Hi Tater, It's starting to as far as mental health and stomach issues. He's having surgery to remove tumor on paw and growth on eye that is affecting his vision. He's a 14 yo deformed rescue. Thunder jacket, soothing dog music, daily dose of Trazadone and then if storms approach he starts with one Xanax and we add more every 3-4 hours if storms continue or increase. Since the vet screwed up chances for new drug testing programs for thunder that gave him another new RX that we will try again to get filled today. Local drug stores don't carry it.

Each day I can't help but wonder how long I will have Hank and Kellen. As a Great Dane Hank is getting there and we don't know Kellen's age. Kellen has been looking and acting like an old dog for at least three years. She has always exhibited signs being in pain when lifting her regardless of the care taken when doing so, yet she still opts to be lifted onto the bed about half the time now. Long gone are the days when she climbed of the 4' chain link fence. Kellen may not be as old as I think she is, she has had a hard life with a lot of injuries and abuse before we got her.

When Hank is gone he has insured his memory with his almost deadly tail, that can double over or bring men to their knees instantly with a well placed strike where no man wants to get hit.

Our dog is the same way about thunder, fireworks, gun shots...
I hope you find a good solution for it. We haven't tried meds yet.

Today we finished our 8 week course on Supervisory Skills Leadership Training. Something our company put together for us with Auburn University. It was based around multicultural management in the work force. Most of it was like refresher for me because I have been in industrial management for several years. I must admit, I learned alot about Korean and Central American cultures.

This came with a 2 1/2 hour recap and late lunch/early dinner.

I am sorry to hear you had to do this, I had to put down my dog about six months ago, isn't easy.

I still have heart ache over it !

GOD Bless !
