dog gone

yesterday the humane society came to see me. i had asked if they would spay and or neuter my dogs. two ladies that work there came to my home to see the dogs. it wasnt just a simple yes we will do it kinda thing. we negoiated back and forth. the woman that took charge started out with i would have to pay half the cost. i had already gotten a bid of $105 per dog from a vet. i had 9 dogs total. half of the dogs were going to people i knew but they all wanted males. some would take a female if it was neutered. i told the lady that. she said they wouldnt do any if i was going to give them away. it was an all or nothing deal.  thats when she offered to take all the dogs but the ones i would keep. i was thinking of the ones that i promised a pup to. then realized it was about which dogs was i going to keep.

i decided i definitely would keep konugish. he is my dog. he only listens to me. spaying konugish will mellow him out. then the lady said she would take the blue heeler and her pups. i said i wanted one of the males from that litter. then i said i would keep the red heeler female and the blue with the best markings. she finally agreed like she was doing me a favor. which she kinda was. ended up that she will spay and neuter the four i will keep and take the rest. they already had homes for them in colorado. no doubt. these are pure bred heelers. it would be no problem having someone take them.

at any rate i will have all of the dogs fixed at no cost to me. i will keep the dogs that i really want. i am a country boy. i gotta have dogs. how many is too many. i can handle four. two males, two females. two are red and two are blue. that is a good mixture. i know these dogs will be taken care of by me for along time. my last dog stayed here for years. she lived to be about 15 or so. these will be the same.

weatherman is predicting rain. and maybe some snow. kinda wondered when we were going get some snow. i washed my face in snow when i was in wisconsin but not here. the tribe delivered some wood yesterday. i still had some outside that i didnt throw in yet. it has been warm enough that i let the fire go out. and i was sick over the weekend so i didnt throw the rest of the wood into the basement. now i will have to do that sometime before the rain or snow gets here. winter couldnt be here too much longer.
