Operation A Dog Named Sue! #14

Yesterday Ace had a checkup on his paw.

We got a couple of photos of Ace looking handsome.

But afterwards we got a couple of photos of the x-rays that were taken. They show what was done internally to fix Ace’s paw. Ace like so many famous sports people who have really bad breaks has two pins in his paw, and for some reason I see an image of the racing driver James Hunts leg with multiple steel pins in it. I have no idea if this is a real image I am remembering from my childhood or not. But it seems like a memory of something I saw in one of the newspapers at the time. I just might not have the right sports personality. It could even be Evil Knievil! He definitely had multiple breaks after the multiple crash landings he had.

You can see the x-ray photos at the end of the post showing the healing process. It seemed the natural place to have the photos.

Operation A Dog Named Sue! #13

The foster family looking after Ace while he recovers are doing a fantastic job of keeping us updated on his recovery, and sharing photos and videos of him.

Ace looks so happy in these latest videos that were shared overnight, and I hope he will be just as happy once he joins us over here.

I’ve created a playlist of the Ace videos, which you can find here.

Hotter than hell

That damn hot weather.

Once again we’ve had a few days of unseasonable hot weather. So much for those April showers.

The contents of the removed shed hasn’t gone yet. I’m waiting for the guy that did the shed to give me a date. Once it has the vision can start taking shape.

In the meantime I’m still outside with the dogs allowing them to enjoy being outdoors.

Obviously our routine has changed during this weather. Their first walk of the day is the only one. However it is a much longer walk. So it’s done and dusted before it gets too hot for them.

Using some bungees I put up a DD Hammocks magic carpet to give the Suicide Squad some shade. I almost look on this as a proof of concept for the summer.

It would come as no surprise that my coffee consumption has gone up. Being able to brew up without leaving my seat is fun. Plus it allows me to get familiar and comfortable using various stove and pot combinations.

Luckily as I write this post the weather has cooled a bit. Just in time for Diogo’s second paddock session this evening. He’s going to be tired this evening.
