Our two year old tri-color Collie, Dougie, is a god guy. He's friendly with everbody & always wants to play with our other dogs.
Here's a picture of Dougie smiling for the camera:

One of the things he does is bring his balls, dolls and other playthings over to us as we're sitting in our chairs reading, watching the tube or whatever. He usually drops them in our lap and backs up a few steps, his message quite clear: come on, play with me! He'll also nudge his long snout into the side of the chair we may be sitting in and deposit his plaything there, in the hopes of simply keeping it away from Maggie, his five month old Sheltie play pal.

Update: 100' of Presto Dog Fencing Goes Up in Today's Heat! |
|
The post immediately below this one talks about the heat we're experiencing here on the East coast. Sure, it is hot, by my mission, my goal is to get our place fenced in so that we can let our dogs run free. That's what they were used to back in the home we just moved from; only difference is, back there they had the proverbial postage stamp sized yard to run around in. Here at the new world headquarters of Presto Dog, they'll have quite a larger area to get their exercize, play and cause mischief.
Today, I assembled around 100' of fencing (that's a total of 720' I've done & I'm just about half way finished...sheesh!). Last week while working on this massive project I had to leave one of the corners un-done 'cause when the auger man tried to dig it, he encountered a huge rock that even his heavy duty equipment couldn't budge.

Weather Report: Hot, Hot, Hot! |
|
Here on the East coast of the US, the weather reports are generally unanimous in that the extremely hot temperatures we've been experiencing here for the past few days will continue over this weekend. Specifically, a talking head on the 'tube just mentioned the temp's gonna reach about 94 degrees today. Common sense dictates to take it easy, drink fluids and make sure pets are properly taken care of. You might want to check on that stay-at-home neighbor near your home, too.
Those cautions expressed, I can now mention that work on the fence that'll eventually encompass Presto Dog's two acres will continue in a little while. I'll re-attach the garden cart to the back of our Cub Cadet tractor; it still has all the tools in it that are being used for this project. The only thing I really need to do is fortify myself for the imminent "trail by heat" I'm about to experience.
Order of the day? Start any jobs you undertake early (appreciating the tropical hours concept as the Presto Dog bride likes to mention), work slowly and hydrate yourself. Later on, I'll take some shots of the fence I put up and bore you (once again) with my efforts.
Be cool.

Shelties, Collies & Turkeys! |
|
One of the reasons we moved to the new Presto Dog world headquarters is because it's such a rural setting. Of course, along with a rural setting comes animals...and I finally managed to get a picture of a few of them with the camera feature on the pair of binoculars I recently purchased.
Here's the shot I'm referring to:
 Turkeys by a Fence
Although they're not the clearest depiction you can view, if you look real closely you can see three wild turkeys sauntering along the back of our property near the sections of post 'n rail fence we assembled earlier today.
And, let me say that working outside when it's about 90+ degrees aren't the most pleasant working conditions we've been exposed to!
