May 21, 2014......I got lost along the way and just showed up today. One hundred degree days are starting. Cooler is on HIGH!! I still have five dogs living in the back yard. On the hotter days, I try to make sure that they get wet down with a spray hose 2 or 3 times a day. Hear sirens in the distance getting closer. A common happening these days. Basketball season is coming to an end soon. My Phoenix Suns never made it to the playoffs. So sad! I am now looking at Indiana Pacers (my Mom was born in Indiana) and Oklahoma Thunder (I have friends in Oklahoma, reason enough to want them to win, right?) Time to feed my five dogs, maybe they can wait a few minutes.....One of them, Regalo (my fathers day gift about 6 years ago) was today trying to scratch around his collar area. I tried to help him and noticed that he had a scabbed over ring under the collar about half way around his neck. I could not get the collar off so I pulled out my old trusty box cutter knife and sliced it apart. After examination, I put some Burts Bees ResQ Ointment on the whole area (to the best of my ability as my 77 years allows me). I hope that it helps. I plan on doing it again maybe in the morning. I can hear them (the dogs) barking so maybe I can get another post up here a little sooner next time!!!! God Bless......the can man, Virgil (gino) Baker......
Post Script: 5/29/2020 (Yep, I'm still around at 83 years young).....I mentioned 5 dogs in the above paragraph. Only one (1) of those 5 is still alive...that would be Sheila which is the last one of those five that we acquired during that time period. We have acquired 2 more so now have a total of 3. The world is still "going to the dogs!!" (smile)
