This just in...Shinzou is a fur stolll!!!

He decided he wasn't the man for the job. ***No animals were injured in this modeling shoot.***

Burned the meadow...

From the road looking toward the house. Hoping the to burn the land in the foreground soon!

Half way up the drive at the "run off" point. This was the best part of the controlled burn.

This one is the view from the house. CRAZY looking!!! Keeping the animals out of it will be the biggest challenge. All those black paws!!

Shinzou is doing great by the way! He is bounced totally back from his surgery. He won't stay calm and mellow, not that we expected that anyway!

Recovery from The Event

Well, it was the quietest day at Webb Ranch since Shinzou blessed our home. Longest for me true to the husbands word. I kept hearing phantom harrooing...creepy. Thank you to Cornelia Marie's Mom for her email support and I was able to ease the desire to hear harrooing by visiting her blog!
He came home totally out of it. Our thanks to Michelle at Dr. Renfro's who took extra good care of my precious Li'l Sugar Dumplin. She brushed him out and cleaned up his piggies.
Today is filled with long mournful cries whines and the like...it's going to be GREAT fun to keep him quiet and calm for seven to ten days! RIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHHTTT!

Just got home, don't even want my favorite ice cube treat...
OH good DaddyBernie is home! He'll really feel bad for me!!! He is talking sweet to me here and giving me a good rubbing down to which I melt into him for!

I tried telling him the collar was one of royalty, he's not buying it! But it is helping keep him from licking the surgical site...

Getting my "bits" removed today!

Today is the day Shinzou goes to the vet for the big surgery. I thought I'd take some before pictures! He has been a PILL so it's probably the best time to have him brought down a few levels. It's looking to be a long day for me, RoJo isn't the constant companion my Sugar Dumplin has been. I'll be waiting for Erika to call from Dr. Renfro's office today!
Pray for my little bugger...

The following picture is an every morning image for me. He sits or as in this case stands to watch DaddyBernie drive down our long driveway as he leaves for work. It's a pretty sad sight.
