Our farm dog is retired now. She got kicked in teh gut by one of the horses and almost died from internal injuries.

She got to stay inside as a house dog the past couple of winters and loved every minute of it.

Now after paying all the vet bill$ from her injuries she is strictly forbidden from any work with the horses or cows. She can ride along in the truck but can’t be out there with them.

As long as she can ride along and be with us, she’s happy.

That is so sad. I bet that was really hard for your grandson to see.

Lap dogs are more likely to be neurotic.

A bored dog is a crazy, miserable dog.

Yeah, I saw that. It was pretty good. This is the good thing about our culture’s increased sensitivity to animals. would they have accommodated the goat 40 or even 30 years ago?

The twilight zone wasn’t always horror or mystery and The Hunt was among the very best upbeat episodes.
