Szabo is not doing so well

he's got a big tumour growing out of his groin

the vet says he too old for surgery

the vet told Jodi "enjoy your summer with him"

he keeps licking the tumor until it bleeds, so we have him a cone right now

he is just moping around sulking about it

but he's like a hundred years old, living on borrowed time

every day is a gift, he's not so bad that we have to put him down yet

Cones on a dog suck. Enjoy the summer, indeed. Uggg.

we feel bad for him, but It's like medical supervision right now

if the tumour heals up, he gets out of the cone

but if it starts to bleed, then he's on doctors orders

he still has quality of life, he can still get around, he still enjoys his food, he still sleeps on our king sized bed

Do they rear them for meat?
We have pheasant feeders on the farm but Paul doesn't shoot them himself.
Two or three times a year the toffs turn up with their shotguns to bag a few braces and the crows keep their heads down for the day.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

yeah, the Russians are preppers

they could have chickens, the Korean man down the road has chickens

but chickens require more work, pheasants are low maintenance

he's beat the odds already, 13 is very old for a large breed

he still enjoys life, there's no reason to put him down until it is like Kima was : living in pain

the tumour is on the outside, it doesn't hurt him, but he licks it until it bleeds

we can't let it get infected, so the cone is on until it heals

Pheasant is tasty. :drool:
With rosemary, thyme, Madeira sauce and root veggies.

Ruff stuff. I get it, been there done that. What's mostly mine is yours except for your best interest. Savor it is all one can do.

Madeira sauce, now you're talking.
Maybe a few wild blackberries thrown in last minute.

Juniper berries go well with game meat.
