Depends on location and time of the year on if Sadie is on leash or off. Despite her good manners most of the time, she is first and foremost a hunting dog, that is instilled in her genetics, so when the opportunity presents it's self she will become focused only on the prey, ignoring all else. So in the field during season, or practice sessions she is off leash. Most of our daily walks involve fire lanes through heavy woods. In the winter when the foliage is down, there isn't as much problems and will work with her off leash, but in the warmer months, I normally use a 75' lead that she drags, as a safety precaution, but also a training aid, as last season, she was working just a tad to far in ahead.

That's amazing. Gary. I don't think I've seen a dirtier dog. The biggest off-leash problem I have with Sara is that she'll go into any body of water for a drink. I guess it's easier to drink when she's swimming. I think they call it troughing.

Max and Maggie will run in the creek while their mouths are wide open in the water. It reminds me of those forrest fire fighting super scooper filling up for another drop.

Maggie gets a hosing every day.

PS- Maggie’s fur isn’t coarse like most dogs with water repellant fur. It is very soft and human hair like. Her fur just sucks up the water.

Checking in on my phone because the computer is wigging out. The screen goes to sleep. Then a noise, the light on the DVD drive blinks and it comes up. Then must click on a button. Had a video playing on YouTube and having it go black in the middle of a video is like the straw that broke the camel's back.

None of our dogs ever "leash".

But at least one will go into the pond green with pond scum. And come out stinky.

Waiting for dinner, and now that I type that, it's time to go!

Well today has been a bust. Went to town earlier today, and had a lot of breathing problems. Had several things to do outside but I've been staying inside in the A/C choosing breathing over productivity. Just check for alerts, now I know the reason for my problems. At least tomorrow is a good day.

Amazing what you forget you own when you tuck things away. We’re about 1/2 way through the garage clean up and I’m taking the rest of the night off. Ordering in Chinese and making a nice pitcher of drinks. Going to sit out on the deck and enjoy the nice warm weather that we’re having today. Going to the cemetery tomorrow morning then will get back to work on the clean out. Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

A little less humid tonight than it has been. No rain, actually some sun! It's quiet around here, and we're enjoying the screened in porch, with the cats, surrounded by the herbs and flowers. It's not bad!

Thunder is getting closer.

We had some rain last night but none of the storms that London had. Today it is sunny and muggy with humidity at 93 and still going up. Susie and I are over to mums today to help out then have some lunch.

Right back at it today. Garage clean out day 2 - the attic above the garage. It was way too hot yesterday to be up there so saved that part of it for today. Hoping to be finished with this by 2. Wouldn’t mind taking a break and catching a movie later this afternoon. Solo!

Hoping for a better day here as the Asthma alerts are gone for the next few days. Got close a couple times yesterday but managed to stay out of the ER. Lot of work to do outside, so will be cautiously sticking my head out the door later.
