    Happy Friday Stockers.

    The pup...you may recall, he started battling high grade mast cell tumors in the spring...it ain't going well. Some tough decisions ahead. taking up all my non work head space. Absolutley sucks. He's super intelligent, and has been a constant companion for years. By constant, I mean constant. He was the office dog, went to work everyday and everyone would fight for his affection, which was freely given once earned.

    Anyway, his project, which all Aussies and bordercollies need (as do most working dogs, kinda the point) is me. Where am I, what am i doing, am i happy, who's near me and are they a problem that needs addressing. Having that kind of constant presence, couple with constant affection, always in silence...it's a difficult thing to contemplate losing.

    I'll stop. you can probably get a sense where I'm at. Won't be long now.

    Dogs: we're not worthy.

    It's tough for sure. Been there done that. Non dog people don't get it.

    Had to let my dog go a few months ago myself, so all I'll say is I understand and I'm sorry.

    Hes handsome. He seems like an amazing companion. Sounds like he's lived one hell of a happy life so far. I too have a blue merle Aussie. To say they're our best friends is an understatement. Be glued to him like he is to you and enjoy every moment you have with him.

    Got a lot done.
    Did the next to final mow.
    Used the sweeper.
    All blowers ready to go.
    Checked the tractor over.
    Did the rev speed mod.
    Installed the winch.
    Enough for one day..
    Going to the dirt kart races to help a friend of mine and his kid who couldn’t run for two years because of seizures.

    Mod the transmission lever stops to allow faster rev.
    Goes faster in rev now. Didn’t need it full send, just faster than molasses..
