Three knuckleheads. As Jayne (r) gets older, he spends more time with the sisters, and they play a bit; At least until he decides that hanging out isn't as much fun as trying to chew on one of their legs or ears. Then someone - usually Fen, on the far left - gets in his face. Louie will mount him just to remind him who's boss. Even so, at 80+ pounds now, he has learned that he can body slam 'em - which usually results in harsher response from Fen. She don't play that shit!
Right up front: this ain't a "poor pitiful me" post. Life on life's terms is what it is. So, at the beginning of the year, I got some unwelcome news after a prostate check, followed up by a biopsy; I am now officially one of those fellas around the country diagnosed with cancer. I am told it's quite curable, but this will involve removing the traitorous organ, and other significant changes. To my mind it beats the shit out of an early dirt nap. What I am leading up to is this: if you're a fella over 50, do yourself a favor and Get. Checked. Regardless of your age, pay attention to what your body is telling you, and you just might live a lot longer.
Playing with sister Louie; kickin' it during take my dawg to work Friday. He will be 1 yo May 1st.
Bwahahaha! (My mixed breed would absolutely lose his shit with this)
Oh my god that's fucking hilarious
The lad at 7 months. Long, tall, and getting stronger all the time. He is becoming quite the companion. Now, if I could persuade him to stop whining and bitching when he doesn't get the attention he believes he deserves...
Mr. Jayne at 6 months. Filling out, in a growth surge now(taller and longer). Weighed in at 55lbs on Saturday the 16th. Loves to run and play, full of affection at all times. That's my boy!
Blessed Be Well, all.
Must show this to Loki
I turned on closed captions for the Swedish Chef and I just started weeping with laughter.
Okay, date on comet photos was wrong. Pictures taken on Wednesday October 16.
Jayne at 5.5 months..46.5 pounds. He is part of the pack now, the grrls having accepted him; they even school him in the household routine! His fusion with the pack has gone much faster than I thought it would. Much credit to my Loki, and the grrls too, for bringing the wrinkleheaded knucklehead along.

Several weeks ago, the little lady above - Louie - wanted to beat the brindle right off of new kid JB(formally known as Jayne Beans). As of yesterday, there was playing and chasing going on in the yard, and Louie only corrected him once, when he playfully jumped on her head; she didn't bite, but he immediately sat down in front of her. Progress is being made! He has also gained 6 lbs since being rescued.
New kid at Chateau Loki. A 4 month old rescue boy. Boxer/Pit mix, mild mannered and always wagging. The sisters - our Shepard mix 3 year olds - are not very happy right now. Fen is becoming less reactive to him, but Louie absolutely loses it when she sees him. The transition looks like it's going to take a while...<sigh>

Our Maine Coon mix, Timber, who adopted us years ago. Her behaviors never cease to crack me up.

So, last week here in Metro Phoenix, some sorry drunk pissant dude beat a 4 month old Malnois pup to death, outside where some folks could hear it screaming...and apparently, no one was close enough to land a baseball bat upside his ass. He was picked up by the local constabulary, too late for the puppy. I suggest that he needs to encounter some seriously angry junkyard dogs. Several times. I would also suggest that he needs to be seriously investigated beyond this, for if a man will do this to a puppy, what else is he capable of?
Don't make a permanent decision over temporary pain... You are loved. Never forget that.

About damned time.
Well folks, I have kept my mouth shut over most stuff while plugged in with many of you, reblogging things that touch on where I am at, and that I feel strongly about.
This little rant will probably hack some of you off. Too bad. I am not here to pat you on your back like the obsequious fucks that are all around. I speak as I see it.
I was raised in a household of a well-educated married couple, and indirectly taught to look at everything through a lense of fact-based evidence. If the evidence didn't fit my ideas, I changed my mind, NOT the evidence.
Feelings ain't facts.
This has led to division here and there, I have made and lost friends over the years due to my refusal to accept delusion as truth. Again, too bad.
My little crew and I are muddling along, day by day, and doing the best we can. Ours is a biracial relationship; I fell in love with her because of who she is, not because her skin is the same color as coffee with a little cream.
We hold no hatred towards any skin color. We hold no distaste or hatred towards same-sex attracted people. We aren't bound by religious "norms". We both have gay friends whom we hold dear in our hearts.
What we do NOT have is any patience or tolerance for mentally ill people who convince children that they can be something that they are not, from their DNA outwards, by mutilating and medicating themselves. We choose not to participate! If you are an ADULT, that's your thing, well, have at; don't expect me to pay for it or pretend. Ain't happening. Otherwise, live your life as you choose. But, here is your reality: keep trying to convince mentally and emotionally vulnerable children that destroying themselves will remake them into something YOU think they should be, and it won't end well.
You have managed to pull it off with some of my family. Because I value my freedom and ability to voice my opinions, I will not act on the anger in ways that would endanger that. I will speak as I see it.
My gay friends are horrified and in fear of the backlash you are creating, and rightly so. We all have enough trouble with the religious nutcases in the world, and you twisted fucks are winding them up by insisting on getting in the faces of their kids. I don't blame them; does the word "pogrom" have any meaning for you? Look it up! Because my dear friends will be swept away by that madness as well.
That backlash is on you delusional people, and your enablers. May the Old Ones, and Karma, give you exactly what you deserve. As for you people in the medical field who push this, because there is money to be made behind it, that goes double.

(Mainly that left elbow. There weren't enough holes in the titanium hardware, so they went for surgical steel) The knee is more recent, just an old guy thing...

With all the negative things going on and being posted, a shot of my youngest and I, riding out from my oldest boy's cabin on our way back home. So cool to have him riding with me. He loves his Gxxer as much as I love my FXR.
Honor their sacrifice. Be worthy of those who died for us.
Gods, how it sucks. Much love for my Li'lBit. I've got your back, Sweet Stuf 🤗🖤
