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!

Weekend....Diesels! Winter Solstice Celebration!

 Thank You, Merle!

Annual Christmas Song Festival! Rusty Chevrolet, Da Yoopers!

 I think we have not had Rusty Chevrolet in our list for a few years, and it is always good for a little laugh. Cold winters and old cars can conjure up nightmares, like being on your back in the snow while you are pulling a burned out starter off your beater!

Merle sent a link to a Facebook reel, and even though it has the YouTube channel listed on it, I can't locate it! MuddyLakeEngineering is the YT channel, and they have a bunch of great vids, so I will post one. Click the showman's engine for the Facebook reel. Showman engines always make me think of a Ringneck rooster! Many Thanks, Merle!

Wild Turkey Show!

 We usually see this bunch on the far side of the pond, going up and down the pipeline. There are a dozen Jakes and gobblers that hang out together, and we see them going to the treetops at sunset. Hoot like a barred owl at first light and they will gobble for you. They made a trip through the yard the other day, and I had to hurry to get a photo.
