Wild week. My dog wasn't sick. She had part of a cloth toy lodged in her intestine. She was at the animal emergency off-hours hospital Sunday morning. We didn't know what was wrong with her. Then we were at her vet all day Monday with IV fluids and anti-vomiting medicine. At a follow-up appointment Tuesday morning the vet said it was to be surgery right then and there because another xray showed what we hoped was poop had not moved. Dog came home Tuesday night dopey and has been pretty doped up since then. Vet was happy with everything Wednesday morning when she saw my dog. We will return in eight days to have the row of staples removed where the doc unzipped her belly from the sternum down. Thankfully we were attentive (my dog is a quiet and reserved dog) to my dog's behavior and corrected it in time. Today I can tell she's really getting back to being herself.

Heal well, my Dixie Mae. Heal well. You just make my life better since you're my best pal.

If you want an axe that will outlast the next Ice Age, get an Estwing.

I don't like anything but a full sized axe myself. Smaller work I do with my hunting knife. I think it's a safer way to chop.

But that's a matter upon which reasonable women can disagree.

Oops. This was for Catherine.

Hello,

One page back in this thread, ooppss - two pages back now (501), I mentioned that I bought my husband a new ESTWING axe.

I have an ESTWING camp axe.

My husband has a few axes and most of them are full sized ones too.

Take care and thank you for your input too.

Always a pleasure to meet a reasonable woman.

Glad to hear Dixie Mae is on the heal. I grew up on a farm where my dad trained and sold black labs for duck hunting. Quarter horses for riding as well but that's another story.

Never met a gentler, more pure of heart dog - and they're better conversationalists on a walk in the woods than most people I've met.

Yes indeed, Merry Christmas everyone :) I wish we were all sitting round a big table together :) :thumbup:
 
Yes! It would be nice for us all to be able to get together.

Merry Christmas everyone!

One of my dogs got sick from eating ham. Shards of ham bone in her gut. She got over it.
 
I want to say that it's really something special to see all the giveaways and sales in Bob's honor. It's a privilege to see.
 
God rest ye, merry gentlemen (and ladies).
Let nothing dismay you this coming year.
