Chilly, why do you have PVC pipes sticking up in your back yard?

Those are septic tank clean outs
We are on a community water system that belongs to the HOA in our development, whereas the majority of houses in the area are on individual wells, but everyone is on septic systems
We don't live in a town, so there are no municipal utilities
Even in the towns around here the majority of the people are on wells and septic systems

Yeah, digital zoom sucks, the 2 smaller ones stayed down in the grass, almost invisible one either side, the bigger one stood up, giving us the evil eye till we were walking away, they didn't hop away like they usually do, the dogs looked, but didn't bark at them like they normally would if they were that close. I've been working on reducing their reactivity.

If I ever open the freezer, Gus magically appears. He loves ice cubes so I can usually get him to run thru all of his tricks first - shake, hug, what's the password? (speak), circle, etc.

My guys like ice cubes as well, I freeze some kibble in these 1 inch ice cubes trays as special treats for them. Buster likes crunching them whereas Ziva likes to lick them.If I ever open the freezer, Gus magically appears.

This is Hoggle and Kreacher, my daughters children
Hoggle is 85 pounds of solid muscle and Kreacher is 30 pounds of hair
My son in law had them running trails this weekend while he was biking and they came around a corner head on into a bull moose
Despite being much smaller and shorter Kreacher waded into that moose in an instant and led the moose away from the other two
Then when they were far enough away he came back with a single recall command
My daughter called him the brave little toaster

We bought Rocky a new bed a couple of months ago, but being a cat he wouldn't go near it, so I needed trick him. I know when he goes into the garage he likes to sleep wherever the dogs have been, he must like their scent. So I got the dogs to put their scent on it yesterday, and tonight, he decided to try it out.

My poor little boy has been in the wars again.
He's been a little off for a few days now, but this morning he was breathing heavy and panting. So it was off to the vet, although not our normal vet as they no longer offer afterhours/weekend service after being sold out to a chain. Que an x-ray, then into theater with an obstructed/perforated bowel. Dog's are known to eat just about everything, but cockers instead inhale any food they can get their paws on, no matter what might be around said food.
Surgery went well, he woke up from anesthetic better than most I'm told. But there is some concern about his kidneys and gallbladder. The surgery itself was not an insignificant cost, but to deal with the gallbladder would be more than three times that cost, and I'd have to travel to Melbourne for it. I'm just hoping he pulls through, I'm just not ready to make "that" decision yet, not ready to say goodby.

My thoughts are with you, I hope he gets well soon, and you can sort the other stuff out. Be sure to give him a couple of pats from me.My poor little boy has been in the wars again.

Buster and Ziva met their first Cocker Spaniel just last week, about a year old, he was only about half Buster's size, but he was spicy, not that either of mine were giving him any trouble, but he was definitely telling them he wasn't afraid of them.

Him not greeting me at the door after work hurts, and being such a clingy dog, him being all alone breaks my heart.
Cockers are such wonderful creatures, daggy but loyal, placid and loving. In my early years, we had a roan called Haffey. We were inseparable, best friends. That is no different with Faych.
