1st pic is a daylite shot of our home
in Tucson on Halloween Day.
Our back yard is full of holes that the five dogs have managed to dig. Half blind old men and dog dug holes, sometimes don't mix. See narration below.
This one happened about a week ago when the dogs decided to get into a fight with each other. I found it difficult to pull the dogs apart and stay upright on my feet!!!!
Narration: This morning, after the dogs were fed, I was ambling back toward the house when unbeknownst to me--a dog-dug hole appeared out of nowhere. Trouble is that I did not see it appear and instead of stepping on solid ground--I went down and down and down--on my knees and then on my side. All 217 pounds of me! I hope that the THUD didn't wake the neighbors. Of course, the dog's thought that I was playing and they all started jumping on top of me. That was a great help!! My eye glasses fell of and got full of dust and dirt... my cap fell off and it didn't take long for the one dog, (Patches) to grab it up in his mouth and run away as fast as he could. He later returned with it tightly clutched between his teeth and wanted to play tug o war. Needless to say, I was not in the mood. I had a devil of a time prying his jaws apart to retrieve my cap (all slobbered over), but luckily not tore up!
I figure that all of this is part of an early birthday gift. I will be 76 years old on Sunday the 4th of November, 2012
I hope all of you had a better morning! Have a good day, the can man virgil baker
