Little leaks...  We all know the consequences of "Little Leaks"  We'd gotten a substantial amount of rain.  Yet NONE in the rain gauge to inform us of the degree of downpour ... ???  I took a look at the old gauge then seen some cracks towards the bottom. It has sentimental value to me... It was my grandfather's. It also needed to be cleaned up after years out on the post.. Cottonwood seeds, bugs, and other rubbish. I took it apart, washed it up, dried it and used a tube of Super Glue to hopefully seal up the bottom. I have a few more "sealing" options but this is the easiest and fastest.  End of the day... back out on the post, hopefully repaired. |

I had a devastating day today. Was taking the little doggy I am looking after for a walk and he accidentally got underfoot and I stepped on his mid-section. He cried in pain and over the minutes he appeared to get more lethargic. I called the dog's owner who was just getting back into the village and he came over. We couldn't pick the dog up without hurting him, so slid a towel under him and used it as a stretcher to place him in the truck. He sped to the vet 28 miles away at 95mph. Xray showed the dog had 4 broken ribs and a bruised lung with some bleeding inside the lung. Other than that his general health was good. The next 24 hours will tell if he survives. If the lung continues to bleed internally, he will not make it. He will be back with me tomorrow and I will be administering morphine shots and oral medication, while trying to comfort him and limit his movement so the ribs can heal.I feel so badly.

Good to hear that your ankle continues to heal. Soon you will be ditching the bubble cast as well.

I hope you can get it fixed I don't have much left of any sentimental value, but I do have my dad's father's high School yearbook
