Folks, if you will allow me; In fall of 2008 my daughters boyfriend had a doberman what was about to drop a litter. He did not have a decent place for pups,so we let her stay in a room of the old house across the yard. For some reason, she rejected most of them, two died, and one night my daughter went over and found two more barely alive. She brought them to the house, warmed them and literally breathed life back into them. The Vet was amazed, but cautioned us that they may have problems down the road. As they grew, Bubba was the cautious one. Sissy would run along side the push mower watching the wheels, Bubba would go sit on the porch, or peek around the corner of the house. He could not stand the sound of a push mower or lawn tractor, but my neighbors could pass the house half dozen times a day, sometimes three at a time, on their Farm Tractors and Bubba did not pay them any attention. When my wife died three years ago, I don't know what I would have done without Bubba! After my daughter went back to work, Bubba saw that I got fresh air and exercise. In the morning we would walk across the yard to get the paper and I would smack a tennis ball with a racquet and he would retrieve it, over and over. He loved to play ball! He would not leave the house without that tennis ball in his mouth. We lost Sissy to kidney failure after about a year and a half. About a year ago,the Vet told us that there were definite signs that Bubba's kidneys were failing. He gave us a special diet to feed him and he did well for a while, then he began to go downhill. About five months ago, daughter said, What the heck, if he only has a short time, he might as well enjoy it! So she bought canned dog food, (the pricey kind in the little flat cartons), and he began to recover, he regained the gleam in his eyes and his energy. Until about a month ago, when it began apparent that he was losing weight, then his appetite began to fail. The vet had told us that we would know when it "was time". This past weekend he lost all energy,he would carry his ball outside and just sit and hold it in his mouth, his eyes became dull and it was apparent that he was suffering. Monday and Tuesday night all he did was just lay there. So, Wednesday,we carried him to the Vet for the last time. I said my goodbyes at home,my daughter said I didn't have to accompany them if I didn't feel like it. She and her boy friend were holding him when he went to sleep. He will be cremated and brought home to sit beside Sissy. Bubba, You were the best and most faithful companion anyone could have. We sure did have some good times! I'm sure gonna miss you little buddy! Love, Gampy Thanks, folks for allowing me.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
