It took some time before the RV Park owners agreed to this, but here is a picture of Tito being given his first lesson on how to drive the park's John Deere tractor....

Not My dog but I walk Molly every evening for the owner who is 89 years old USAF Fighter Pilot and has mobility issues. She is a 6 year old miniature air dale (Welsh Terrier). I run her hard as she gets no exercise otherwise. She is high energy! Here she is after a good workout....

Best,

I find it interesting when people ask if Jeb is a miniature Airedale, he's my redneck Welsh -- he's a double-wide. Normal Welsh weigh in the low 20's, he's 42lbs, and there's absolutely nothing about him which makes me think he's a small Airehead. He's serious, stubborn, and a natural born hunter. My Airedales were goofy, had no hunting instinct, but were great guard dogs

I never had a problem putting Jeb in my Escape (had leather seats), I preferred it actually, when they got dirty, I could use leather upholstery wipes (Armor-all and Meguiars make them) and wipe them clean. When he was in the car before that (cloth seats), they got dirty and I had to shampoo the seats clean. The snool on the glass was another story all together (snool = snot and drool, usually applied to the windows. nearly impossible to clean off completely).

Here's Jeb (13 years old) in the back seat of my Ranger (poor old guy has to be lifted up), not happy about the back seat separator to keep him in the back seat (he likes to stand on the console if he can, he now just lies down in the back and sleeps for the trip)

here's when he was turned in to rescue (and he eventually became a failed foster) back in 2010, and he looked more like how he's supposed to look (he really hates getting groomed, and at 13 years old, I don't want to upset him more than necessary)

So, your breaking Tito in for future piloting of the RV when you want to take a break ?
He's definitely gonna need Seat Jackers or a booster seat !!!

Suppose I could include the nest!!!

This is what a hornet can do to a horse fly. Typically hornets will not bother you unless you bother them but I can see in a public area the need for them to be gone. I had a nest above my basketball goal one summer and we all got along fine. My dad said if you shoot a hornets nest with a 22 the hornets will follow the trail of the bullet back to you, never tried to see if that was true.

Doing trail work every summer, we get stung, multiple times each year. So we eliminate them as they are found. We also carry epi pens with us. That species will survive but a person might not the next 2 stings.

It is with a very heavy heart and complete sadness that I am announcing that I had to put my 8 year old Frenchie "Pierre" down just this past Tuesday, shown here guarding my then 1 month old 2020 S/Cab.

Pierre's body was ravaged by a rare form of lymphoma, the wretched disease spread rapidly through his body in a matter of days.

The second pic shows him @ a photoshoot just this past April.

Mahalo for the kind words!
I was so incredibly attached to him, he gave us 8 years of joy, protection and unwavering devotion.
