My dogs and Zeke the visiting dog got into a box in the garage and chewed up a 30-year old preserved alligator gar head (I'd cooked the meat off and used the head for ranger talks - it was from a 75lb fish at one of the lakes I used to patrol.) Now the remainder is in the trash, but tons of bone and sharp little teeth are going through dog guts. I'll keep an eye on them.

My brother called today to say his dog died overnight. 9-year-old German shorthaired pointer who had wonderful adventures in her too-short life.

I didn't go over to my friend's house today, I ended up not taking the day off, but I'll be over there this weekend. I think I'm going to rent a U-Haul trailer to bring the big plastic greenhouse over here. It really is a wonderful building. I may move the dog kennel and put it there, or may put it down near the back of the yard. Except for it to be a greenhouse it needs more light than at the back. Ideally I'll put it where the folks from the village won't see it and insist I get a permit to set it up. The one pain about trailers is backing them and my driveway is not straight. Ugg.

I hope you all have a great weekend, and those in the US, enjoy your long weekend!
