I'm pretty positive Jax is Indian for tornado.
she laid on the edge of the bed watching a movie last night [actually watching it] then she just went to sleep.
the cat jumped on the bed which woke her up and they laid down right next to each other all night.
this morning it started all over again, as soon as Jax come back in after rearranging all the sticks and leaves in the back yard.

oahp almost forgot to give this weekends thought.
how come we don't see any 350lb down hill Alpine skiers.
I mean we all know gravity pulls harder on heavier objects.
it would seem to me that getting a big bulky weight up on a mountain and turning it loose on a couple of skinny well waxed sticks would produce some world class speeds.

Thanks Fiver.
They were a lot of fun just to watch and care for. Their mother got an infection in one of her teats, from a puppy scratch. Fed them milk replacer and puppy chow for quite awhile while mom healed. Ever seen a puppy stand on it's front feet while eating. Milk and chow all over their ears and face. Was pretty hilarious. My wife would wipe their faces and just gave up after awhile..
Not sure how I got duplicate pictures in that post. I tried editing it to add captions but ended up with duplicate pictures? These putters are way smarter than I.

Drag. Those guys aren't very aerodynamic at all. They also lack the agility required and the ability to tuck to reduce drag.
In a speed race do you pick a 300 gr 338 or a 300 gr 45-70? Same at the muzzle but one gets to 600 yards a lot faster. So much for fatties.

Jax is just a bit bigger than those Pups are at 7 weeks, I think sometimes she is the same number of them though.
when my Lab Five had her Pups she had 11 of them.
she was only about 50 lbs and they out weighed her pretty quickly.
but man 11 pups go through some food, thankfully they started cutting teeth pretty quickly and I could blend up some puppy chow into a paste/gruel type food, it was pandemonium when the pan hit the floor.
they all tried climbing in the pan and getting all they could it was almost like watching piranhas go in on a wounded animal..

Yea. Pups have two speeds, 210 MPH or sound asleep. On warm days I'd put that piece of carpet outside the shop door and put a bowl of water out for them to play in. Took about 2 seconds for them to be all wet and dump the pan. Also put a bale of hay out for them to play on. Was comical watching them play king of the hill. If I let them run around the shop they would have anything within reach, in the middle of the floor and opened up to their satisfaction, then onto something else. Only took about a week before they had that bale of hay broken down and all over the driveway. I keep a few pheasant wings frozen most of the time. I'd put one out just to see which puppy would end up sleeping on it. That little chocolate male would end up with it 9 out of 10 times. That's a pretty good indicator to me.
You volunteering?

I could set that up.
someone else will need to bring the oxygen.
I should probably make it a down hill run ??
I guess I could set up a lawn chair in the pickup bed since we don't have the jeep anymore.
I could set 2 in there and we could make it a team sport if there was enough interest.
we could do a team shoot out the pickup windows.
or I could set up a 6 to 70 mile nature hike type shoot, complete with camping spots.
we could do a tandem 4-wheeler shoot.
a drive and set-up and shoot,, shoot.
we could swap locations every day and do something different off the list above for at least a week.
I could even set up a rally type course where you drive about 150 miles in a day and shoot a target every few miles or one every 100 yds, then scoot down a highway back to where you started.
I could set up 4-5 of those.
I got places if you got the time.
that's pretty much all I do in the spring and summer when I ain't fishing.

so apparently 4:30 is the new 7:30 around here.
I swear to god this dog just sits around thinking stuff up.
this morning she jumped off the bed and got to playing around with the cat under the bed.
they managed to tear a hole in the fabric on the bottom of the box springs.
so the cat being a cat it had to climb in the hole to check things out.
and of course it being 4:30am the puppy had to follow.
so now it's pitch black and there are 2 animals 'trapped' [according to their report] in a darker place under the box springs but on top of the cover to them.
they somehow manage to report this to the authority's [the Chihuahua] who is now running around the bed barking while one is whining out morse code and the other is yowling like a police siren in heat.
they can't find the hole they made.
I'm trying to see what they are doing with the flashlight [and the wife is asleep,,,,?? wait, wth? yeah asleep]
this is when the Chihuahua comes over and tries to see if I am a dog or not by jamming her coldass nose right next to my butthole.
wham!!! did I mention I have an antique steel bed with cast iron cross posts.
well I do.... you fill in the blanks...damn dog.
my cuss word..s sets off a new round of help me whining and some biting of the cat to reassure itself it is in control of the situation. the cat is not amused and tries to find someplace to hide [like that is gonna happen]
I finally grab the Gerber or the schrade or a kitchen knife off the head board behind the bed and cut the lining to the box springs freeing the two refugees.
mind you the wife has slept through the entire thing.
the instant that knife touched the fabric on the bed all I hear is 'you better not be cutting that we only had this bed 2 years now'.... shut up woman. [I think to myself]
so I guess I'm gonna be pulling a mattress and box spring off the bed here in a little while after she goes to work.
I will tell you about her next trick in a little bit.
