German Shorthair?

 

[Mountain trapper]

German Shorthair?

Yes. We're still trying to come up with a name.

 

[Pearl]

Yes. We're still trying to come up with a name.

My Dad was into those when I was little. They were always tolerant of me. They got lots of hugs and attention from me.

 

[Bacpacker]

[phideaux]

This is one of my favorite kinds of dogs. They are so fun to watch running and playing. They go non stop. They have lots of energy and need lots of exercise. They are also sweet dogs with no interest in fighting or causing trouble. They just want to run and have fun.

I have seen this dog, but never knew the name, We are beagle hound people here.
There are a lot of bird dog people here, but not in my circles.

I had one when I was about 12 years old. I took him hunting every chance I could. They are great dogs.

Good evening good sir. How’s the weather down there? Chilly up here. Going to be a cold night for us.

 

[havasu]

Suppose to be 25 tonight. I'm going to lose about 500 pounds of lemons tonight, and not a thing I can do to save them. I wish I had some smudge pots, but they have all been stolen, repainted, and sold for antiques.

 

[Double R]

Oh no! That’s absolutely heartbreaking! Wish there was something that could be done. I’m wondering about the trees I’m seeing blossoms on like cherries etc. also.
You can probably blame me for the weather change. I gave up on winter and put up the bird feeders, flag and wind spinners. Also pulled a bunch of plants out of the barn. That’s a guaranteed way to change the weather.

 

[Double R]

Good late night Mrs @Pearl How are you?

 

[Pearl]

Just great!! Better knowing you are here!! As usual, up to put wood on the fire, thinking I live in Texas, should not have to be doing this so much! How are you??

 

[Double R]

You’re so sweet.
Yes is been pretty crazy for y’all weather wise. I’ve been trying to keep a watch on the weather. I bet your burning through wood right now. I haven’t caught up yet on what’s coming. Hope to watch the weather update video in a bit.
I’m ok.

Getting ready for winter weather here in a couple of days, woodstove will go non-stop! That's the only heat we use

I installed a electric wall heater in the bathroom, otherwise the rest of our home is only heated by a woodstove and with our cold 20 to 30 degree nights it runs constantly, I have a great neighbor that keeps my firewood rack out on the covered deck full from a tarped stack of about two cords that's along side of our driveway. I built a stove pad that's wide enough that I can sit on the side with my back to the stove, when it's not too hot I love to lay my back against the stove, I've even fallen asleep a few times, but I have to be careful because sometimes, even with the dampers shut tight, that stove gets really hot.

It's a nicer feeling heat! We choose to heat with wood and are blessed to have all we can cut and split!
