The couple across the street from Voice acres recently got 2 Alaskan Huskies, magnificent dogs, i was trying to persuade Mrs. Voice we should get one, but apparently they need hours of exercise and shed sh*t loads of fur, and she was set on a Chocolate Lab, and as i chose the pointer she said it her turn (ignoring the fact the Beagle was her choice) Also, don't they have a reputation for extreme disobedience? |

Not sure, they are quite popular here, never seen any being difficult. The ones across the street are really well behaved.

I think the problem is with recall. Selective deafness. You rarely see them off the lead or not attached to one of those drag leads. Apart from that, I believe they're great dogs. My wife's niece has one and last week it had to have a leg off as it had cancer. We were all thinking it might be kinder to call it a day but the little sod was up and about the next day like nothing had happened.

I think I must be some kind of carpenter savant, spent the last couple of days making a new queen bed frame for the boy for when he's GF stays over, so from a few pallets and some buckshee wood I made something that actually gained plaudits from Mrs Voice and looks pretty good. The best thing was I got myself a new cordless impact driver to drive the carriage screws home, been using a cordless drill for years, and I have to say its fecking amazing, so much better than using my drill. Always nice, as a bloke, to make full use of my tools.

I finally bought a snowblower last week. It hasn't been delivered yet, so of course it snowed over the weekend, a horrible damp snow that melted and re-froze and totally knackered me as I shoveled it off the driveway.

I have no idea what an OSKI is (the internet tells me it's the official mascot of UC Berkeley, but I can't imagine that's was the passed), but congratulations to them both.

" A wolf cub that was found mummified in northern Canada lived at least 56,000 years ago, scientists say. Hidden in permafrost for tens of thousands of years, the female cub was discovered by a gold miner near Dawson city in Yukon territory in 2016. She has since been named Zhur, meaning wolf, by the local Tr'ondek Hwech'in people. Scientists now say the cub, of which the hide, hair and teeth are intact, is "the most complete wolf mummy known"." www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55409689That's really quite something, isn't it? |

My dog had another squirrel today.
Some woman complained that the dog had killed it Infront of her and she was a vegan.
I told her she didn't have to eat it, the crows would.

Can you imagine the levels of precious snowflackery that would allow someone to actually whine like that?
It wasn't Nikki off Big Brother was it?

Is it just the old or fat squirrels that get caught by dogs? They're normally pretty quick.

The hound is a patterdale terrier, bred to kill things. She's bloody quick but smart too. She's developing a technique where she goes for the tree not the squirrel and grabs them as they go up the tree. It's quite impressive.

I think my cats might be responsible for the local extinction of several bird species, even with bells on their collars they still bringing home several a week. I think they are in cahoots with the dogs, the cats catch em, the dogs eat em .
