Baseball is all about stats and data ... you should like baseball.
 
Gary gets two crops a year from his little tree in the back. The tree is an Anna, not an exciting flavor, just apple ... but does well in this clime. Gary likes to slice and cook 'em up in a pan. Nothing added, they are good as a side. Cooked this way, they taste like apple pie.
You could wrap them in baloney, call them appleoney's .... (oh my, that was bad)

Fall has come to Gary’s place.

No, you've got it backwards. It's not the stats and data that make me interested in things; it's the thing that I'm already interested in that get me sucked into stats and data. I have access to what's called the 'data warehouse' for the state university system, and I could fall down any one of a number of rabbit holes and not come back for hours. Baseball? Because I'm completely uninterested, the idea of pouring over statistics about it makes me feel like a caged animal. :)

Yeah, I should face time her and go through the glorious statistical goodness.

Ha ha, joke's on you! I don't have an iPhone so you can't FaceTime me! :1398:

Miss Maggie had a tough morning. She was leashed, which she hates. She had to travel to the front yard, which she hates. Then she went for a car ride. Which she hates. She chatted with the vet, who she likes. Then she had her nails clipped, which she hated. Then a shot ... meh. Then the leash, the great outdoors, the car all over again.
 
Miss Maggie sounds like a pretty typical pup! Our dog hated the leash and the car the first couple of times. Now he jumps up if I jingle the leash because he knows it's time for a walk and if I mention the car he whines and follows me from room to room trying to hurry me out the door. The nail thing will always be dreaded. Sometimes when I take him to get his nails clipped they have to use the cone of shame because he shows them his teeth and they get nervous.

I've resorted to clipping dog nails myself. Our late rescue pup had issues with new people, and that made it worse when people tried to clip her nails.

Takes 5 minutes and Roxy knows she'll get a treat afterwards. While she does it reluctantly, she rolls over onto her back herself. :smile:
 
The vet was surprised at the weaponery cute little Maggie squirreled away between her toes. They were long and menacing. Mary Lou had some holes in her clothing as a result of Maggie’s claws. But now they’re clipped and it is done. As our walks will start soon. The pavement section of the walk will soon made the claws short and dull.
 
Since the Bloody Paw Print Incident of 2014, my pup has his claws trimmed at the groomer.
 
We know that the leash, the car and the great outdoors is all a matter of acclimation and time.

We did not want her clipping to be a painful affair and it was only $15 ... we decided to have Dr. Wilson clip away.

I get it. Tucker didn’t seem to be in any pain, but boy, will a claw bleed if you clip too far. With his dark claws, it’s a guessing game.
