What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[screened porch]

I know a few pubs that keep them as alarm birds, but they're more commonly associated with stately homes here, with geese being another traditional alternative to dogs

Another reason to hate geese- they spoiled our attack on Rome.

Understandable. Both can be meaner than dogs ... I knew a guy in south central Missouri who had to spend more than one night in his car (windows up) because his peacocks and/or geese would not let him get out of the car.
The Wolves or Pumas (he claims) took the birds.

We came home about 1:30 this afternoon to find Coco at the bottom of the back porch steps laying on the sidewalk. Her haunches being what they are, she could barely get up and couldn't stand for more than a few seconds. I told Cindy; "that's it, I'm calling the vet. The vet took us in right away and we had her put Coco down. No more pain or suffering. She was looking Cindy and I in our eyes as she passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure you guys/gals/youngsters won't mind if I don't include a picture of a knife in this post.

Ed I feel for you and Cindy a few years ago my bride and I had to put down two of our dogs with in a few months of each other. Both times we cried like babies. I hope Coco meets Charlie and Sandy on the other side of the bridge.

Oh I'm so sorry, and sad too. We have been through the pain of losing a pet too many times, and always say "never again" but then we find a perfect new pet to love and care for. Condolences from us to you.

I’m so sorry Ed, I know that’s one of hardest things to do. She was lucky to have such a wonderful family.

So sorry, Ed. Such great companions, and always sad to say goodbye. Will drink a toast to Coco tonight.

I've seen "two barlow days" and "two lambsfoot days" and "two trapper days" and so on around these parts. I'm indulging in a two strong clip point day.

Befuddled, you query, "But why two knives with the same type of blade, Tyson? Why?"

I sigh, look away and reply, "I don't know. I dunno?" I sigh, then turn and look you straight in the eye. "I don't know. But I'm doing it. Two strong clip points. Right here. In my pocket all day today."

Sorry you had to put her down, but as you said, no more pain and suffering. I'm glad you had the opportunity to be with her when she passed on.

Ed, I'm so sorry. It was the right time, but that is such a hard call to make. I'm glad you had her, and I'm glad she had you.
