gone to the dogs

[Dana Hackney]

Gosh....I got set up for some forging and figured I'd try to locate some help for a striker and had to settle for what I could find.....help, these days, has gone to the dogs....

This is my daughter's French bulldog. My wife and I are taking a week of vacation together so I figured I'd extract some work for room and board .

Have a great vacation Dana. That shop apron might be all chewed up by the time you get back. You can make the apron last longer if you leave your favorite hammer out for the pup to reshape the handle.

Take care, Craig

I meant to say that my wife and daughter are vacationing. I'm taking care of the grand-dogger .

That's a great pic Dana!

I had to laugh when I read what Craig wrote:

A couple of years ago, Boomer did that very thing for me. I was looking all over the shop for the small ball/peen that I use for peening pins.......after walking back and forth between shops a few times, I saw the hammer laying in the dog's pen.......he did a real nice "texture" job on the handle!

I figured you'd like that Ed . I did have to laugh at Craig's comments too. Chanel Number 5 (her papered name - I call her Chanel number 1 - alias "The Wiz Kid" for obvious reasons ) would do a fine job of "texturing" handles. She's got some serious jaw muscles .

She's a pretty happy and affectionate dog. Good thing too, as I'm missing my better half after only 4 days on vacation...4 more to go .

Hope you are feeling better Ed and hope you get your appmnt to Mayo soon, friend.

Take care buddy,
Dana
