Wonder Dog!!!!

Shiner to the rescue. Nancy and I were feeding the horses and just letting the last one go I muttered in the direction of the horse "we don't even like you anyway" I didn't really mean it but this mare tends to be "contrary" and sometimes she just wears me out. Anyway the heeler thought I was serious and away he went. Barking like a crazed alpaca in the middle of the night, tapping on my windows in the dark, trying to claw my door knob with their hooves in a never ending attempt to get in ......brrrr............uuhhhhh uuhhhhhhh never mind that today but we can revisit this some other time., back to Wonder Dog, he ran her half way across the pasture to get her away from his dad. All Hail WD.
Our dog Martha is a reprobate congenital escape artist so I tied a 10' rope to her collar with a 2lb rubber "Kong" at the end of it for her to drag around. Amazing results, I always know where she's at. Anyway, us in the dogs were going inside and Martha's Kong got stuck and so did she. I looked at Nancy and asked who was gonna help. Right then Wonder Dog turned around, went outside, picked up Martha's Kong and carried it in for her. ALL HAIL WONDER DOG

crash

Nancy and I had decided on sushi for dinner. We embarked across the pasture on the scooter to get to the street and found that one lone pocket of mud on the way out. It was like a slow motion cartoon. The back of the bike wanted to go forward and the front of the bike wanted to go backward. Damn those things are heavy, especially when your standing in a mud hole and your feet keep slipping out from under you. Good thing Nancy is strong. Does this make me a statistic? We were wearing our helmets.

Dark

I remember when my ex wife entered school to become a medical assistant. Oh the excitement of it all. She had all the hopes, dreams and aspirations leading to delusions of grandeur. To her delight the first day was very hands on. The teacher said "this is how to draw blood and everybody WILL get a turn" The first student took the second students blood, the second took the thirds blood and so on. Finally it was the ex's turn!!! She was gonna show the world how it's done! In went the needle, a gentle pull on the syringe and out it came. There were screams and crying. Several did that catholic "spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch thing" Nope, No blood. Simply out of habit she had sucked out the poor girls soul.........Looking back I think that might have been a sign.
