FUR TOO MANY PAWS

28/06/2025

I kept telling Blackstrap & Hambone things were gonna get better. Yesterday morning, it did! Got panels moved, secured w/ a few t-posts and the tack/feed room appropriately situated. They now can go in and out of climate control. The run accesses their big personal dog yard at the other end. They did not show their wee big heads much yesterday afternoon 😍😁

Yes, I'm bragging on them. They have had STELLAR manners in their new room!

Happy Saturday all!

Shout out of THANKS to a neighbor/friend down the road. He dropped off 3 adjustable height bowl feeders and bowls. A mix of other bowls, a nifty trunk with towels, plus 3 bags of moist cat food which I'll pass on where most needed!

Blackstrap Bill & Hambone Hank got 2 of the height feeders. Since they got height 🤣. Also hoping I don't have to play 'where's Waldo' with the bowls everyday now.
Clara Belle got the other height feeder.

Grateful for the donations! A nice surprise when I pulled up to the gate yesterday eve.

Rescue. One learns to just laugh and try to go with the 'flow'. A speedy run to Brenham for supplies. Got home and 3 new no chew beds had arrived!

THANK YOU to FTMP paw pals for your donations and support to be able to keep the kids well fed and comfy as possible! 🥰😍👍

I had to buy a new push mower. It works great and I was excited! Redoing Dawghouse yards and filling in craters, have one more dog stair to build, being for Lisa Mae Boy.
RAD RUFFAS loves the new mower too. He helped. It's back to functional after replacing the starter handle/cord. Still looking for the other. My bad for leaving it out in his possession.

Thank goodness it's not pandemic time. The sweet Boxane"s, COAL ASH & BLACK VELVET, found the TP in my bathroom whilst investigating around.

The chair, well that was a group effort I think. :)

The light in the tunnel, the hound boys, BLACKSTRAP & HAMBONE, got 2 beds last week. They are not destructive furkids, so I was super happy to see the beds are not chewed up!

And YES! RAD, COAL & VELVET are all adoptable! The hound boys I want to work with a bit more, but they are adoptable!

Happy Monday all! Make it a good one!

BLACKSTRAP & HAMBONE. Full of goofiness! Hambone loves making 'curtain calls'. They are so very smart and have learned (for the most part) jumping up is not polite. Hopefully get to leash/harness work soon. These guys are fully vetted and Heartworm negative, amicable with other dogs. Hambone just has a certain sweetness to him. Blackstrap is sweet too, but a bit dominant in play with Hambone. I'm assuming they are from one tribe since they are both about 1.5yoa. So the plan will be adoptions to separate forever homes!

THANK YOU to all FTMP paw pals!

Maintenance day yesterday! One chore was to dismantle the small kennel yard in the new big yard. The peanut gallery, WITTIE WOLLY, BLACK VELVET & COAL ASH were helpful as always. They are happy to pickup anything I drop including tools and bolts/nuts/fittings.

Went in after lunch for some water and to check on said peanut gallery..... it was a hard morning of work apparently! 🥰

WITTIE (1yoa, NM, mixed type boxer type breed, 42lbs ) BLACK VELVET (SF) 47lbs & COAL ASH (NM) 54lbs, fully vetted Great Dane/Boxer mixes. Born December 6, 2024, adoptables with FTMP.
Out of state transport is available to many areas.

This week, Hambone Hank greeted me enthusiastically at the gate more than once. Having raised the height of their perimeter fence, it was an all-good feeling.
Hambone has some game and can figger 'stuff' out.
Solution: dig....

Well, must do chore # 2, 065 bumped up on priority list this weekend. 😁
