Annual Christmas Song Festival! Winter Wonderland, Dean Martin


Everybody understand that this is not a request for snow!

Annual Christmas Song Festival! Two More John Prine Favorites!

 

Meet Bandit

 We picked up Bandit today. Turns out, he is 14 years old, so he may be difficult to adopt out. He is nervous, as he should be after being uprooted from his home. He will settle in with us quickly, I think. We must measure his food, because he is obese, and that is bad for an old dog. He will see our vet next week along with Princess Peaches and Zahara.




Tuesday Torque: Starting A Waterloo Boy

Many Thanks, Merle! Waterloo Boys are out of our reach, but I sure would love to have one to putt around on. Many years ago, Susan and I went to an auction where there was a complete engine from a Waterloo Boy, and we stayed in the bidding to our limit, but had to quit. Cost of living bills must be paid before play!

New Schipperkes To Foster!


 Our blog followers get to see Zahara and Princess Peaches before anybody else. These two Schips were dropped off at an animal shelter in the middle of the night with no information other than their name tags, with birth dates. Zahara appears to have recently raised some puppies, and is heartworm positive, so we will have her for a while to treat her. They made the trip from Iowa in three hitches and are now safe in our basement. Tomorrow we will be getting another Schipperke from here in Illinois. That boy is 10 to 12 years old, and was surrendered due to his owner passing away. 

Not A Grind! It is a Joy!
