Digger.......turkey watching.He went outside and I think the turkeys got after him because he came back really fast.   
The turkeys were raised in a pen and the owner decided to turn them lose.WTF?They are very pretty in real life.
JSM,I hope Josef gets to feeling better.He can come and bird watch with Digger.   
I'll check back in a little while.I am putting primer on the walls in part of my kitchen.   

  I love that picture of Digger!!! Good luck with the primer on your walls.

awwwww.... I used to have a doxie... we lost our Heide 2 years ago... and haven't had the heart to get another pet since.... yours is gorgeous.... love the gaze!

  I'm sorry banannas. I can't imagine the pain of losing a pet

It is ok... that is what happens.  We lost our cat just a year before that.  Both Heide and Kiddles were both quite old.  I have a fish now.  Is the only pet I have gotten.  He is a beautiful blue and red betta named Fernando and I am about to lose him now.  Guess they only live a couple of years or so, I got him right after we lost Heide.  We aren't going to get anymore pets because we want to be able to pick up and travel now whenever we want.  I have lost a few pets over the years as I have always had them since I was just a little old kid.  Hopefully we will see Heide and Kiddles in heaven some day. 

I know it happens, but it is so sad and I don't know what I would do without my evil dog. He is the first pet I have had that was truly my own. He was there for me when my grandmother passed away, he had more sympathy than the guy I was dating had at the time. I understand not having pets if you are wanting to travel. FYI, my nephew had a beta and my sister told him he could get a dog when the beta passed away. The beta lived for 4 years. I swear my sister kept changing out the fish so the little guy wouldn't get a dog. 

LOL LOL LOL  never would have thought of that one.... good excuse for her not getting him a dog.  And I have heard many of the bettas live past 2 or 3 years but the average is 2 to 3 years.  Mine is having trouble swimming up to eat now so I know it is just a matter of time.  I have had a few of them over the years too.  I love them... they are so beautiful.

Bananas, I have never had a fish, but I have heard they will make you calm.

That sounds great

Every time I see Josef's shoes in the avatar, it reminds me of a pair of Dr. Martens I use to own

Great it is supposed to get really cold this week. I thought I was rid of cold weather.

  BBL, going to take Josef out one more time tonight. I think he may be getting arthritis because he acts like it hurts to get up off the floor and jump on the bed. He is probably just fooling me, because he has no problem chasing cats or geese. 

Heide had arthritis too AND an enlarged heart because she was so overweight.  She was almost dragging the ground when we got her.  I used to take her to the walking track with me and she lost some of it but she was always a fat dog.  Everyone thought Heide was a hoot just trotting along beside me and her big belly almost on the ground.  She was on meds for the arthritis and it did help.  Even with her arthritis, she loved to chase the squirrels at the park but she could never even get close to catching them... they really would just tease her by running up and down the tree trunk just above her head.

Our first doxie Gretchen was overweight, so when my parents got Heidi, she was kept on a strict diet so that didn't happen to her. Zoe has arthritis, even though she chases things as well, sometimes she has trouble jumping and going up the steps, but she is on medicine that has helped her. I guess with anyone getting older arthritis seems to be something that is unfortunately there.

No Rose, I am worried that Josef is getting arthiritis. How did they find out she had it? What meds is she on?

I just noticed they look like Doc Martens. 

[no rose colored glasses]

I have to run downstairs to get the name, one is a prescription that actually is a dual help for her tumor and arthritis. The other is over the counter glucosamine chondroitin complex.

I used to wish I had a pair of Doc Martens.  When I went to England, everyone was wearing them.  I felt so out of place wearing "trainers", which is Brit for sneakers.

I take glucosamine and have since I was 29 years old. It hasn't helped me, but if it will help Josef, I will ask the vet if he needs it. Thanks No Rose.

  My first time in England, the kids told us they liked our trainers, my friend was so confused about what they were talking about I told her they like her sneakers. Doc Martens are too heavy for my knees. Supposedly great for feet, but not for knees.

Thanks JSM.  My husband is alrady there and starts his new job on Monday so I'll be packing up all month.  Not much to do, we just have a 1 bedroom apt.  By the way, that is the cutest picture of Josef!   I love it!

You got that right!  Maybe 10 years ago I'd have loved wearing them. But not now w/ my bad knees!

The Doc Martens I had were cool, can't say my feet enjoyed them very much but still wore them. Now no way, my feet would really being screaming.
