What names have you found interesting Boo?
As I stated before - Wulf - would be a good'un - and out of all dog breeds - The German Shepherd Dog- looks more like a wolf - than any other I reckon - and probably have some wolf DNA in them - from waaay back too -
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these Japanese Shikoku-ken, supposedly has wolf blood too ..... I thought ken might be a good name
@Boo great looking dog ya got there

Aye too true mateThinking about it - all breeds must have decended from wolves- because long before there were domesticated dogs - there were wolves <lots of howling noises>
even god forbidden tote dogs like chiwawas were once descended from mighty wolves
Domestic dogs gone feral and running in packs can be pretty scary.
I’ve had encounters in the bush where one individual has have lured me into a trap and next thing I knew I was surrounded by a whole pack of wild dogs.
They were all bitsa looking. part Corggie part, part wolf and part shiba enu.
I graciously conceded that they had the dominant position and exited stage left never to return to that area.
@Boo Please ease off on that shit. Your mind is operating just like you were fifty years old, but your body is not in the same shape as your brain.
Face it: Brain fine, body busted. <-- A totally busted body will kill a brain.
Options:
1. Ignore the piles and rows. Nature will dispose of them just as it has for a jillion years.
2. Go down to the corner and wave some $20 bills. Get ten desperate dudes for a day's work** (or even just upon work completion) and you'll have all the leaves in the trailer for a measly $200.
**Tell them the two guys that get the most leaves in the trailer and do the best cleanup will get paid double. That will leave you with a quality job done for a max of $240 <-- You spend that much on a tractor belt.

Oh, Lordy. You most ricky-tick triggered a childhood memory: When I was a little kid, we went to someone's house near Poughkeepsie, NY. While the grownups were inside yakking, I was outside by a big cage that held a crow. The lady of the house told me the crow could talk, and told me what to say to it.
When I walked over to it, the crow looked at me and said, "HELLO!" before I could say anything. I was gobsmacked. Then I asked the questions I was prompted with:
Me: "What's your name?"
Crow: "Jimmy"
Me: "What are you?"
Jimmy: "I'm a crow. I'm Jimmy The Crow." "Hello."
Gawd... another memory, kinda dates it. There were raspberry bushes all over the yard -- That's when I discovered that raspberry bushes are friendlier than blackberry. And in September, raspberries are ripe. I was feeding Jimmy The Crow some of them while I gobbled my new favorite berry by the ton.
The adults came by, ignoring me (standard in the 1940's) and talking about Japan surrendering. I remember the positively unique vision of adults yelling in public. Including my parents.
Bless yore bones, but he would set half of Floriduh on fire.
Brother Boo has a LOT of land, and he keeps it like a fargin golf course. Momma Nature took a huge dump on the Boo spread, and he is still recovering. He's moved tons of fallen stuff from the storm.
Trouble is, his ambition is separated by about forty years of hard ridin' put-up-wet from him being in any kind of condition to do all the stuff he does.
Crikey, we thought we might lose him last year.

@OleReynard -- Jump at the deal. You are right about the cortisone -- Scooter (MySonTheDoctor) said cortisone can weaken tendons and cause bone damage.
Now you've gawn and triggered a memory in me too - by mentioning Poughkeepsie NY -
- Way back in 1980 - I had been working as back/front stage security for a Rock-A-Billy band called Levi and the Rockats - at CBGB's night club - in The Bowery NY - and it was the last gig I had work for in NY City - and since a $20 a night wage wasn't really gonna cut it financially for me - even though I was couch surfing and staying with the odd GF nights - I had decided to leave a cold and basically inhospitable NY - and head back out west to Californi-a - where I had more work potential - and knew more people -
As I exited the club late that cold March night - to the left of me was a big green Lincoln Continental car - with some black guy in it - and as I got closer - it was evident that he was having trouble starting the car - as I peered in thru the passenger side window - and could see him trying to hot-wire the thing - so I knocked on the window - and the black dude saw me - then put his right hand to the back of his pants - and pulled a snub nosed .38 out - as he exited the car - pointing the gun at me!
'Excuse me Sir' - I said softly - in a very upper class English accent - 'I'm in dire need of a ride out of New York City - and was wondering if there is any possibility that you might be on your way out of this city - and wouldn't so mind me being a passenger - in YOUR beautiful car?' - I said harmlessly - while smiling at him - 'Perhaps I can help you get it started?' -
My words seemed to disarm the potentially violent situation - was probably my accent that did it - because he lowered his gun - and smiled - then said - 'You best be careful boy - around here - sneaking up on a niggah - so late at night - might get yerself kilt - hop on in - I'm-a headed upstate to Poughkeepsie - outa New Yawk City - once I can get the darn car started ' - and within a minute - after he had fiddled with the ignition wires - the car roared to life - and we were off!

Maybe name him:
"Two-Face — If you want to name your new canine companion after a classic
comic book villain, Two-Face has been a part of the Batman universe since 1942."
Morning
Feels wet this morning with 30mph gusting south winds. Around noon it will be blowing out of the north with gusto. 50f atm going down to the 30's by noon. Another rollercoaster temp ride the rest of the week too, with record low temps. Later this coming week.
Already been burning through more wood than usual. Going to stack a few more splinters this morning.
OH Joy
@Boo since the dog is going to be black. Call it Coffee. I can hear it now. Coffee! Get your black ass back here. lol

Shark bites off tourist’s hands as she tries to take selfie on Caribbean beach
It is understood the 55-year-old had one of her arms amputated below the wrist and the other half way up her forearm
www.telegraph.co.uk
Gotta be one of the most insane things I have ever read. Tourist tries to take a Selfie while attempting to "engage" a shark in standing depth water. Lost both her hands as a result and part of one arm up to the elbow. Confirms my belief that Smartphones and Social Media are the two worst things ever to hit society.

Maybe name him "Niggah" to memorialize your close call. The color seems to fit. But maybe not the century ..
