Dumb Videos on Social Media

I keep seeing dumb crap like this, so I made one too. I was interested in the Kangal dog, because they were bred to take down a wolf. But then one of "these" videos popped up and compared the two by bite force, weight, speed, and bench press ability... Really? Dogs can bench press? That was when I knew I had to make a video.

Turkeys & Keeshonds

This morning at breakfast we were treated to the roving band of turkeys. For a while, our house was completely surrounded front and back. In the picture you can see a house where three bored Keeshond dogs live. These dogs bark incessantly and can do so at any time of the day or night, because they are able to go in and out of the house at will. So if I step out into my backyard, they bark at me. But since the turkeys have been in their yard and ours, they have been completely absent and quiet! I can only surmise, that these dogs must be afraid of the turkeys which is quite amusing. I was even able to walk to the compost pit this morning with no dogs barking at me, and the turkeys paid little attention to me.

Dingo Patch

I'm trying to see if I can get a patch pushed out to all of our computers so that when you turn them on, instead of the little musical startup sound, it shouts, "The dingo ate your baby!" .

"Friendly Dogs"

As I walked back to my car from this morning's fishing, two large Labrador s ran at me barking aggressively. Meanwhile the guy they arrived with was back at his truck where my car was. I know dogs and am comfortable around dogs and I stood still until the guy finally looked my direction. "Call your dogs off!" I yelled. I heard some noise as the dogs had some sort of mechanized collars. Then the guy yelled back, "They're friendly!" My response was, "They didn't act like it." Well the guy was all smiles and asked me how fishing was. I was brief with him because let's face it, not everyone is comfortable with a large dog (or in this case two) running and barking aggressively at them. I know people who would have been terrified and he should be more careful with his "friendly dogs" in a public park.

Running with Wild Dogs

Over the weekend, my son was seen running with wild dogs ...
