The Dog


Banner Report

As we move around the apartment complex residents will call out, “It’s Banner! And Frank”. That seems to carry over to those who read this blog. Inquiring minds want to know.

He is not allowed bones. His jaws are so powerful he breaks them into pieces and swallows them. He has had more than one trip to the vet because of this. Rawhide? It will take him maybe twenty minutes to breakup and swallow.

After trying several chew toys, Banner was most content with Benebone Wishbone for Aggressive Chewers from Amazon.

Several neighbors love giving him treats. Rather than make an issue, I provide the treats for them to give him. This controls what he eats, so only four per day of these are needed.


His favorite Abuela.

“Now Banner, sit”, and he does.

Not Law Enforcement’s Finest Hour

For many rural counties and small towns, the choices of who to hire will come down to who is available and is willing to take the job.

 That is not to excuse the actions of the officers in this case, should the real facts be as reported.

RARE EARTH ELEMENTS

 News about rare earth elements sources in Wyoming might mean an end to China’s near monopoly.

 One company, Ramco Resources, is trying to open a coal mine near Sheridan, WY for raw stock for producing graphine.

MORE

They have recently announced finding seams of concentrated rare earths within layers of coal.

 Another large find is the Halleck Creek Project.

 Bright future? Doubtful, with China owning the Biden Family Criminal Enterprise.

As always,  YMMV.

Hello WSF, how does Banner treat plushies? Driftwood or otherwise perfected sticks?

Agree with you the mining situation is intentional and not likely to improve any time soon.

Greeley Tribune article is behind a paywall. I expect your synopsis is correct. Some large cities are dropping citizenship requirements for law officers. With continued border fluidity, there will be applicants available.

Finally, the Banner Report. I'm glad that he is doing well and charming all who cross his path. At least he takes you for a walk - good of him.

Plushies last about five minutes. He rarely retrieves but likes to fight me for a nice stick.

He saves me from needing a gym membership. 80 lbs of determined muscle on the end of a leash can give you a good upper body workout.

Good on you for 'prepping' the treats for Banner, and yes, I 'recognize' some of those bottles... sigh...

Wyoming will be shut down by the econazis and the left, can't have them actually making money and threatening the agenda!

Combat Engineer favorite while in the field was a glass of Thunderbird topped with a shot of Everclear. The wine was sipped through the Everclear. The drink was called Motherf***ers.

Lots of uranium in Wyoming. Coal deposits that haven't been touched.

From my misspent yoot playing Army for Uncle Sammy: Canadian Club first of the month (after payday), then MD 20/20 toward the end of the month.

Good times. What I remember of 'em.

At the Kaserene we had access to the EM club but you needed to be an E-5 or above to buy at the Class 6 store. One local Trinkhalle proprietor kept in stock a selection of USA potables. We spent weeks at a time in the field so he did a good business with us. Our fallback was Cognac. 5 star? Hell no, 0 star.

So long as we didn't get roaring drunk the NCO's turned a blind eye as did the junior officers if they were smart.

Our only competition for being mean nasty assholes were the cannon cockers down the street. They were hard drinking and fighting troops. Kept the MPs on their toes.
