Would you be willing to rent out your generator for a few days? ;)

https://www.nationalgridus.com/masselectric/a3-1_news2.asp?document=3832 National Grid outages by county/town I keep telling myself that with all our hiking gear and a wood stove, that I'm much better off than some other people.

:smile: The Great Caboo and I walked all the way out to Prospect Hill & back this afternoon. Who's that calling?

For some dogs, clipping fur from between the toes can be helpful. With the past several dogs I have had, I have found that clipping the fur actually results in greater problems with snow/ice accumulating in the feet. Then again, the dogs I've had have all been designed for travel in winter...

It is nice to be getting out again.

A major factor in how well a Saint will handle temperatures is coat type. Is Sadie a rough or a smooth? Even so, individual dogs have their own preferences and tolerance levels. I've known Greyhounds who frolicked in the snow, and Newfs who didn't want to go outside if temps were below...

Good news!

una_dogger - if you fence my yard, I already have a pony barn.

Thou shalt strap one's necessary prescription eyeglasses firmly to one's head.

You're very lucky. The abraded or cut pads I've had to deal with have been very slow to heal. It's important to note, too, to reintroduce rough surface gradually once the pad is healed. It takes time for the pads to toughen up again. For booties - I've had two methods that worked with some...

Thanks for the warning. I was going to head up there tomorrow - I think we'll find somewhere else instead.

Bigfoot. Definitely a bigfoot sighting.

If I saw an otter, I'd get my dog out of the water. I know of a couple of people who have had dogs attacked by water. One needed stitches.

Is fracture site sarcoma a factor in humans? I ask, because I found several studies including data about it in canines when researching treatments for Dugan-3.8-leg's blown CCL, but I've not looked for anything similar with human osteo trauma.

The website prices are high, yes, but after buying mine I received a half-price offer on various things, including the USGS quads. I was able to pick up all of the New England states (except Maine, where I don't hike much anyway) for $99.99. That's 1:24k - with a better quality map - for only...

Rocksnrolls and I spotted a few color tinged trees in north central MA yesterday.

It really is ridiculous. My dogs get tested every year as part of the heartworm test. I get much the same exposure they do, should I not be tested as well? Even after I explained this to my old doc, along with telling him that my dog had been diagnosed with lyme, he STILL fought me on testing...

It should be noted too, that Smitty's Siberian is from strong working lines (Seppala, yes?), which is a much different Siberian, both physically and mentally, than you'd get from someone whose goal is the AKC breed ring.

Hey, if it comes down to the SO and my dog... let's just say the SO knows who came to my life first! Hikingfish, I admire how much thought you're putting into your decision.

It's good stuff but there are other castille soaps out there that are just as good that are much better priced than Dr Bronner's.
