Stinky Pete

Meet Pete. He's a stray Westland Terrier that was found in a raceway at the Fort Peck Multi Species Fish Hatchery. Landon felt sorry for him and brought him home. He was really matted and smelly so he had to stay outside. Then the cold weather came back. I told Landon he could come inside but he had to have a bath first (notice the hot pink gloves). So this is Landon giving Pete a bath. He had to wear rubber gloves because Pete stunk so bad and we weren't sure what he had for bugs.

He cleans up pretty nice. We had him on Tradio and the Dog Gone Show for about 10 days before someone took him. We never found his real owner, but did find someone who wanted him. I told Landon we weren't keeping him and if we did that he couldn't have another lab until we were down to one dog. And since we all know that small dogs live longer than big dogs, he would have ended up hunting with a Westie or a Chihuahua and that didn't sit well with him, so Pete had to go even though we were attached. I'm afraid our kids may inherit the "bringing home stray animals all the time" gene from Landon.

More Fish Work

This link will take you to the Billings Gazette Outdoors section (I think) with the article about Pallid Sturgeon and a picture of Landon with a fish he caught. http://billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/05/15/features/outdoors/28-sturgeon.txt

The Ground Is Just Not Good Enough

I guess the hammock works the same if it's upside down. She was sleeping until I got the camera. She just doesn't like laying on the ground, but she'll run through the smelliest mud to retrieve a duck, what a weirdo.

This is what's left of Abby's chair after one year. She just sits in it like a human, so we're not sure how they get destroyed so fast. She'll sleep in it all night if we let her (using the arm rest for her pillow)
