I did it buddies, I didnt break last night.  The smell of burgers and hot dogs was enough to make a grown man cry out in hunger but not me.  I smiled and said no!  No beer drinking either!  I was so proud of myself and came home happy!  Now today…well I did make that deal with myself! LOL!

But really, I do plan on eating some summertime fare tonight.  And I stopped and got myself a 12 pack.  So yeah, I’m gonna have some fun tonight.  Not go crazy but yup, tonight is the night.  I think we are having ribs so hopefully they wont be too fatty and I can enjoy them without suffering too much!

Let me tell yall how my day started.  As most of my buddies know we have sort of adopted the next door mastiff pup.  His owner threw him out of the house and neglected him so we are taking care of him.  But last Sunday he brought in a pit bull and chained it up outside his house.  Now dont get me wrong when I say this, I love the breed.  Have nothing against them at all and have a friend whose pit bull Leo, is one of my favorite fur buddies.  But I am a little worried about the one next door.  His ears are almost completely gone.  I’m not sure if they have been cut or eaten off.  And not knowing his background makes me nervous.

So getting back to this morning, I was going yard sale-ing and was up before the sun.  So I went to the backporch to check on Dozer.  We have been keeping the gate open so he can come and go as he pleases.  Well I see what I think is Dozer standing over his food bowl but he was really dark.  And I was thinking he must be wet because he is a dark honey colored.  So to get a better look I went to the backdoor when all the sudden this pit jumped up on the door and was looking thru the window at me.  Scared the shit out of me!  I hollared for Tom but by the time he got there the dog was gone.  I finally found Dozer hiding behind some bushes.

So I told Tom to get dressed and grab the pistol and walk me to my car.  No, I dont and wont hurt the pit but again, I dont know him.  I left without seeing him.  But minutes later Tom called.  Said he just walked up the back steps and heard what he thought was Dozer coming up behind him.  Nope, it was the pit coming right at him.  He froze knowing he couldnt get the pistol out of his pants quick enough but didnt want to spook the dog either and get jumped.  But get this, the pit came running with his tongue hanging out, jumped up on Tom and started loving all over him!  Tom petted him and when he opened the back door to come in, the pit ran in!  Tom had to literally drag him out.  And you want to know why all this happened?  Because the pit is starving. He looks just like Dozer did 2 weeks ago.  I dont know what in the hell we are gonna do.  First, he cannot let a pit run around loose.  We have an ordinance against them in my county.  Second, he is scary looking.  Someone is gonna kill him and I’m afraid they are gonna get Dozer too.  So here we go again. We havent seen him since this morning and as much as I hate to say it I hope he chained him back up.  Dozer is fine, in fact he is laying right behind me on my kitchen rug chewing on his stuffed Duck.  But we cant take care of the pit too.  And the county will take him if they see him running loose. 

But the yard sales sucked today!  Very few of them and the ones we did find didnt have much.  But thats ok, cant have a winning weekend everytime.  Between the weather and the holiday I knew there wouldnt be much.  Speaking of weather, the rain is slowly moving in, been raining now for around 20 minutes.  Slow and steady and its suppose to be here until *atleast* next Friday.  Yuck!!  No planting, no trimming, no pool opening.  Who knows, we may not cook out tonight afterall.  But I’m still drinking a few beers!!  :-p

LOL!  Doze just walked up and put his head in my lap and looked at the computer like he was saying ‘whatcha doin?’.  Big ol floppy eared doof!  I think he wanted to ask Becky how Leroy is doing! 

See you guys later!  Have a safe Saturday night!
