And so it begins.
77 degrees at 7am. Overcast, thankfully and a steady breeze of 15-20 mph, so if you’re not in the sun it’s tolerable - but be prepared to sweat! Mon-Fri are ALERT DAYS for the heat. It looks ugly. I’ll be hauling a LOT of water to critters this week!
We are taking the A/C truck to Menard’s today to get some errands done for upcoming INDOOR projects this week/end.
Looks like Beau will be hanging around until the 6th of July or so because he has some small mowing jobs for neighbors that he wants to get out of the way. Then he and ALL THE DOGS (except for Emma Jolene) will be loaded up and leaving in their circus-like fashion for Da North for Bear Training Camp!
Grover and Midnight got handed off to their owner at the Water Race, yesterday. I didn’t even get to say GOODBYE! *SOB*
Oh, wait. I’m over it, LOL! Already got the front porch swept and any puppy blankies and such are in the washer and toys stowed for the next batch that show up - planned for or not, LOL!
Shasta and Mandan worked their usual magic and won a lot of money for our Tri-County Bear Hunters Club. This Water Race was a fundraiser for our club; we are both members; Beau is Treasurer, I am Go-fer. Two other dogs that I raised were there; Payute and Tony. We sold them both to the same guy and he has been having great luck with them, winning races all around the state!
I make a motion at every meeting to change the club name to the ‘He-Man Bear Haters Club’ but I never get anyone to second it, LOL! (There are only four of us females who are paying members). Anyhow, they raised about $2K for the club yesterday between the racing, raffles and food stand. That $ will go towards bear bait, mostly.
So Brunch, then off to Menard’s and as an added bonus we’re hauling stuff to the scrap yard for cash, Baby! Cold. Hard Cash! I may even get Beau to let me do a Wine & Cheese Run at Aldi. ;)

Oh, if I were in your group, I would second your motion! Loved the Little Rascals as a kid.
Might choke Artie, but ain’t gonna choke Stymie! ;)

Good thing its black bears! If he were chasing Grizzlies then the hunters would be the bait! (I know it is something in the last stages of rotting, but beyond that I do not want to know that bear bait is....)
