but on the 14th, the girls got their monthly hearworm pill

Today, they got a dip in Hi-Yield Pet, animal and livestock insect concentrate. Well, it was a concentrate before I diluted it down while mixing it in one of those old $20 coolers. You know the ones I mean? you buy them cheap and then spend more on ice trying to keep things cool than you saved. I'll never buy another one, but I had a couple under the house and they made a good dip and store.

After I let it soak on them for a bit, I washed the girls in a good flea shampoo and will spray the pen and houses tomorrow after I buy some more concentrate.
It'll be a once a week dip for a while and the pen, bedding and houses will be sprayed every Saturday morning before I take them for a run

Well, obviously not having as much fun as djmed.

Note: djmed is the turkey in the back

I got a chance to go turkey hunting Sunday at Stonewall Plantation. Fred and I went in the middle of the day. The wind was blowing about 25 mph. I was hiding by a big tree with some bushes around it thinking how stupid I was for being out in such ugly conditions. About the time I realized that turkeys live out here regardless of the weather, I look up and a turkey is standing in front of me about 22 steps away. I hadn't called much and I don't know wether he heard me or not over the howling wind. Better to be lucky than good, I suppose.

anyway,

We’re going rabbit hunting.

I suspect that djmed sent a link to this story, just rub in my poor shooting abilities. If I can’t hit a cane cutter at five yards, what makes you think I could hit one of these?

As a side note, it shouldn't be to surprising what is happening to them

instead of FireFox, you might be wondering about the blank space below "Front Page" on the left bar.

I'm working on it. Visible in Fire Fox is a "badge", a collection of picture thumbnails with one that rotates and blows up for a second before rejoining the other thumbnails.

I didn't realize it wasn't visible in IE until someone told me. I use FireFox almost exclusively as I've been moving away from Microsoft products where possible and convenient

are like mine, then they have been putting on some weight since the end of the rabbit season.
Mystery has been filling in nicely

It's a good time to check those collars.
Make sure they're in good repair and are loose enough.

I can tell when the the "Girls" get ticked at me. They leave landmines at the gate for me to step in, instead of the usual section of the pen. I think they're telling me it's getting time for a run

got their rabies shot today

We’ve taken on water and it’s flowing out of the bilge inspection port

Aye aye Captain 3. Life jackets for all hands?
That’s a negatory, Mr. 2. A Captain must go down with his ship.

Aye, Captain. It’s been a pleasure serving with you. And might I add, it’s a brave thing that you’re doing….even if the water is only two and a half feet deep.

that the Alabama Department of Natural Resources has teamed up with Auburn University's, School of Genetic Research.

It was announced while I was off loaf, er, I mean, doing maintenance on the 2+3 that the Fish and Game had previously given the School a ten million dollar grant to improve Small Game hunting in Alabama.
Today the School unveiled the initial results of it’s research with this genetically enhanced
