May 1, 20224 yr You’ve seen them before, but this is just a bit too cute: Benjamin lying down on top of Lola to chew his bone.
May 1, 20224 yr Where's Lola's other leg!?! When our dogs do that sort of thing it makes me smile, even on bad days. Frosty The Lucky.
May 3, 20224 yr Author First snake of the year showed up outside the forge, a Ringneck snake. Gentle little snakes. smaller than a wooden pencil, and about 6-8 inches long.
May 22, 20224 yr Author A 3 foot black snake passed through the shop today. He looked healthy, happy, and made it through the winter.
May 27, 20224 yr Two very fine looking Animals! Inherited six cats this spring, Am I a kitty whisperer, or is it the hamon and bologna! Robert Taylor
May 27, 20224 yr It's your shoes Robert, they're kind of hypnotic. Not a blacksmith pet but would make a great one. I heard on the news tonight that there is an aggressive river otter living on Potter creek on the south end of Anchorage that is attacking dogs and hikers. It hasn't bitten anyone yet but is seriously inhospitable. If you've ever seen an otter up close you know why you do NOT want to mess with one. Frosty The Lucky.
May 27, 20224 yr Alexandr; I've heard of having a mole on your face with hairs sticking out of it; but perhaps you should see a dermatologist about that one! Anachronist; remember that if they don't get fixed 6 cats will rapidly become more!
May 31, 20224 yr This is Dusty, she’s a three legged pain in the backside lol she decided to come out on the pouch and hang out this morning,
May 31, 20224 yr Lol yeah that’s about as happy as a 3 legged cat with one Ana half ears gets, I rescued her about 6-7 years ago as a kitten, she had got caught up in a fan belt and it chewed off half an ear and shredded one of her legs, we took her the shelter but the vet said there was no way to save the leg and it was gonna cost to much to amputate the leg so all they would do is put her down if we turned her over to them, so instead we shelled out the cash and paid to have the leg amputated, when she healed up from that we got all her shots done an got her spayed, now she’s a grouchy couch cat by night and a wild apex predator by day,
May 31, 20224 yr Good deal Billy. We are dog people (Sorry...) but when I was young there was an old neighbor hood stray and it was missing a leg and had an eye poked out. Everybody in the area put out food and water for him. Somehow he got the moniker of "Lenard". He was the talk of the town for a while. Small, small town. "Have you seen Lenard lately?" "I heard Lenard raising cane last night" etc.... I often wonder what happened to that cat.. I have to ask, was Dusty the one knocking those plants over in the background?
May 31, 20224 yr Lol nah that wasn’t dusty, that was the three dogs… jasper, the hyper Aussie, ratchet, the porch mut an diesel, the holy terrier they’re a pack of tornadoes an train wrecks everywhere they go! Lol we got lots of different animules around here dogs, cats, goats, chickens, ducks ect…
May 31, 20224 yr Saw the latest addition to the shop yesterday, a young black snake. Sorry no picture it is camera shy. I was working on fixing the Snapper's flat tire, when a spray can of paint jumped off the window sill. Then this cute little black snake came down and lost itself in the junk on the work bench before I could get my phone out of my pocket. He/she was about as big around as my thumb and maybe 2 feet long. No wonder the mouse traps have not been set off in a while, must be a good mouser and well fed.
May 31, 20224 yr Cool, won't see any snakes here. I got sick of airing up tires so I've been replacing them with foam filled. I don't hate my wheel barrow anymore. Frosty The Lucky.
June 10, 20224 yr Tortoise? Four of the original six... #5 has wandered out of the frame... edit - scratch that... Most are wanting to go native. Robert Taylor Edited June 10, 20224 yr by Anachronist58 Oops
June 10, 20224 yr I believe it is a box turtle, rather common around our place. First time I have had one stroll into the garage like he owned the place.
June 10, 20224 yr Those box turtles are all over the roads here...mating season. The only saving grace to their survival is that when seen on the roads, they look like a rock, so most folks drive around them. I saw one yesterday about the size of a golf ball...it must have great expectations.

Hoping to get mama in this week, because she is beginning to get a bit cranky with the kids. The fountain is closed, but this is how they like to cozy up: Robert Taylor
July 14, 20224 yr She really is a killer! That cat can Hunt down an kill more critters then you can shake a stick at! that orange tom cat on the other hand… is beyond lazy and strangely he drools like a dog…
July 14, 20224 yr Don't be too hard on the orange boy, it can be a lot of work holding your lips up and tight. Damascus used to drool too and she wasn't lazy. Frosty The Lucky.
