Furry helpers

[Spog]

Bullet is good at chasing wood goats off the property worst pest i deal with and I can't kill them it's crazy they eat everything

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal Your deer appear to be larger than here. This little one in the background was around this morning.

[Spog]

Hey bud girl Looks like u live in paradise for me just tell me u got ducks migrating down that river I'm sold I have a house on salmon river in ny
we used to get thousands of waterfowl not so much anymore steelhead I like

[SoOrbudgal]

Hey Spog we got all water fowl here. Alot of breeds of duck. Geese don't leave LOL oh some may but they stay year around. They honk night and day.

[Puglover1]

I saw this and thought of some of you outdoor growers, free shipping, three sizes.

Also, two ravines east, Karen sent me this deer pic.

[SoOrbudgal]

Hi Puglover1 i got a small pool for the dogs and me, they did'nt like it but i do LOL.

[Puglover1]

SoOrbudgal There are times I've thought of getting one of those 'bathtub' pools for one person. Some folks use Big fabric pots outside, with a discount code + free shipping these seem like a good deal, not just for dogs. I bought a galvanized 3' x 4' metal raised garden bed for next year from that website, arrived within two days. So I know they're legit. As my deceased mom would say "the saints are bowling", it's thundering loudly outside. Warnings were farther north, in WI and maybe Chicago. I got one pug that loves a baby pool, it's easy for baths, the other won't even let me towel dry him, he jumps out of the baby pool or the bathtub. Wish I could share a video, he's a trip.

Not sure that I would call him a helper but this guy keeps my legs warm at night and only complains when he doesn’t get walked 60 or 80 times a day. Below that are my other helpers this summer, the bunnies from the newsletter last week that I found in the plant pot just outside my back door.

[alltatup]

That's an extraordinarily beautiful pic of rabbits in pot. I love it.

[CaptainWiese91]

These are my Daily helpers in a retired world of a veteran. I honestly couldn’t handle a day without them.
My lovely Dobermann and my Rottweiler❤️
And yea of course our Giant cat 😆. Could not find a pic of the cat without my wife 🤷🏼♂️

But all in the pictures means everything to me and they are supporting my growing hobby 🙏🏻

[CaptainWiese91]

I use the dogs for the protection of the house also.
They sleep outside every night. But normally you cut the ears and tail for the dogs own protection- so the human attackers can’t pull the ears or the tail of the dog actually. It’s weak points on a dog. And thanks for the lovely words !

I’m sorry to hear that ! They are such majestic creatures- cats.

[alltatup]

Capt: the dogs are extraordinarily handsome, but they have tongues that could lick the world!!!! ;-}

[CaptainWiese91]

alltatup. Many thanks for the nice words

Yea the tongues are a bit of a drooling problem in the house lol

[Puglover1]

"Grumpy's" name is Jack'son, short for Jack Nicholson.

A friend moved an hour way but whenever she's back for holidays or dentist appts she visits, the pugs love her massages and strong fingernails scratching them. Last 4th of July the cat joined the picture, then he slid in for some scritches. Look at the face on Grumpy Pug in the middle.

[Puglover1]

It's International Cat Day, y'all. Let's see your pics.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Raining again.

[homegrown]

Well my little space cadet saw herself in the mirror for the first time ever This stare down lasted a good couple of minutes lol.. Also found out I can’t leave tomatoes on the table. Asshat!

[SoOrbudgal]

That's such a hoot when they do that LOL. I throw left over wasted greens an melon rinds over the fence for the deer. Both dang dogs go over and take rinds back home they love watermelon and cantalope, raw greenbeans.

[Puglover1]

Mine love tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes never go to waste here and I don't even grow them. People get bumper crops, the pugs take care of it.

[alltatup]

You gotta train them gargoyles not to munch on the tomatoes!!!!!

[Bowhunterwoody]

Had to feed my buddy's girls and his helper for a few days. Not to furry but kinda fun.

[alltatup]

Suh weet!!! I hear pigs make great pets.

[PLreef]

#bowhunterwoody hope you have a plan with this big storm rolling in Sunday am. Stay safe my friend.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Hey PLreef. We'll put everything mobile in the garage and hope no
oaks land on the house. Looks like a rough couple days. I have plenty of stabilized gas for the generator. Not much I can do with the two girls in the ground. A few extra ties to try and stabilize them. Stay safe.

[Puglover1]

Pet life. He's the furry, I'm the helper. I let the pugs back inside tonight then I went potty. This one comes into the bathroom for me to pull a dingleberry off his butt. At least he went to the toilet paper room.

[alltatup]

Honey, if you don't pull the dingleberry, who will help the poor fella? That's one of the owner's essential roles...

[Puglover1]

What would he do in the wild alltatup? He's a trip. I have to give him a longer leash. When he was 16-17 months old he was blocked with a rare form of stones, cystinuria is a rare disease in humans and dogs, atypical for a pug. The former Vet office butchered him. I had to rush him to an ER vet after they let me come get him, he needed a 3-hour emergency surgery to fix 5 things including a ruptured urethra, debride skin from pooled urine, removed his swollen, blood-red scrotum and stones that the first vet missed. He was in he ICU for 10 days afterward, over $10K just for that. He'll probably get stones again despite a vegetarian low protein, acidic diet bc he needs his pH to run alkaline and his specific gravity needs to be higher. I add water to his kibble, the rarest Rx dog food. I used 3 jars of test strips with him before I ever grew mj. The low protein diet is known to cause DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy. Most dogs don't know they have that until late into the disease, or they just fall over dead. I at least know to watch for signs. He broke me, broke my budget, but until one of us dies this is my reality. I only hope to outlive my pets because I'd rather grieve over losing them than for them to think I abandoned them.
