Jimmy Durante


The goose in the middle is Jimmy Durante.
He is a Black-horned China Brown.
You can tell by the brown V-shaped ruff on the back of his neck.
He is a character and my favorite (if you can have a favorite goose).

The goose on the left is Archie.
She is an American Toulouse.
I guess she has been here longer than any goose.

The goose on the right is Jimmy's girlfriend.
She is a Norwegian White.
We didn't name her.

After twenty months of drought


This is about the same shot as the previous.
There is no grass at all. No winter grass last year.
No Bermuda this year.
That green you see is some kind of weed.
It must taste bad, because the geese and goats will not eat it.
We are 25 - 26" below normal for the last 20 months.
We need a break.

 

Before the Drought


This is a photo shooting from the side yard of our house
toward the pond. See all that green stuff. Called grass.
This was taken about three years ago. When we had rain.

Clipping a dog's toenails.

What happens when you clip a dog's nail too short?

You get a lot of blood and it scares you to death.

Few dogs have bled to death even when ripping a nail
completely off. What do you do?

1. Relax and take a deep breath.

2. Get some flour, put it in a small bowl.

3. Put the dog's foot in the flour.

4. Repeat as necessary until the bleeding stops.

Mother Nature will take care of the rest. The blood will clot
and all will be fine.

PS. While I am talking about flour. If you have a youngster
with diaper rash, take some flour and brown it in a DRY skillet.
Use it for talcum powder. The rash will go away.

Murphy and Man in Black


This is Murphy and me during my Man-in-Black phase.
She was a doll.
