Bright and early this morning we dropped off Miss Maggie to be fixed, (even though she wasn't broken).

At least she'll have no memory of what she's losing. Tucker still licks that patch of fur and glares at us sometimes.

This has always seemed horribly cruel to me, especially for male dogs. Why can't they substitute a vasectomy for outright castration???????

Castration really tones down dogs. It makes almost a night and day difference between a social calm pooch and a raging stallion.

Made most of our mostly female dogs a bit less bossy. Didn't do much for the largest of three males. Although I guess he is a bit better....

Five people have died from mudslides in Montecito. Pacific Coast Highway is closed between Ventura and Santa Barbara.

That's terrible! Stay safe Gary and family. That storm looked nasty on the weather channel last night.

Well duh! Lose yours and see how you'd act

Terrible and sad news about CA.

@smoke665 Congrats on a hard fought win by Alabama!

Shouldn't have to trim my finger nails for a month after that game

That's a whole different story. That's where you get to bark like you have them, but you know who's got a grip on them and will squeeze if you get off the porch.

The rains are back with some decent winds. Yesterday the snow was down to 8,000’. Today it is down to 5,000’.

Ugh - it's been nothing but terrible weather news in CA for months on end now, it seems. Extended drought, then raging wildfires, loss of homes and businesses, now the rains finally appear only to inflict further destruction... stay safe over there, Gary! I know you love your little piece of it, but I wouldn't live there as a gift. Too nerve-wracking. Earthquakes will be next!

I expect Miss Maggie isn't really going to know what hit her...once the wound heals, she'll be just fine and never miss it. Critters bounce back wonderfully that way - the younger the better.

@Gary A. if the water gets to high, you can share our mountain top. If the water reaches us, it won't matter anymore.
