We went out to the pasture to put new flea and tick collars on Maisy and Mel. Maisy is fine with about anything but Mel assumed that we were trying to do some nasty thing to them so he just lay down just out of reach. At least he stayed there when I went to him but he went into a submissive posture on his back and tried to push me away with his leg. We were putting the collar on him while Maisy kept using her leg to pull my arm away from him so it takes both of us to do something routine like that.

Dog dynamics. Aren't they the greatest? Just gotta love them.

Today there was all kinds of excitement for all 4 of the dogs to bark at. Neighbor on the corner has a French bulldog named Pepe. Pepe is a smart alec and he hikes his leg to pee on the fence. This drives our dogs into a frenzy and they bark at him. I have no doubt that they would tear him to pieces if they ever got the chance. Neighbor was mowing and that incites the dogs to bark. They were having a grand time. Enough trucks came down the road so they got their fill of chasing (inside the fence) and barking. A motorcycle went by and they were waiting on it, they raced along the fence barking their fool heads off. A kid on a bicycle with her dog came by several times and they went into another frenzy of barking at the dog. Neighbors from up the road were taking a walk and the dogs went off on them. I don't think they ever shut up all afternoon. We brought them in to feed them and they all collapsed on the floor. Dead dogs. :lol:

Teresa is making a big batch of Gyro meat. YUM!

This is the first time we have done this gyro meat recipe and it may well be the last. :) We have a couple of recipes that are easier and taste fine but they don't have the texture of the traditional gyro meat. The recipe is a traditional version and the taste is like what we get in Greek Restaurants but it has taken the both of us two hours to make 4 lbs of gyro meat. But that time includes the time to make a batch of Tzatziki sauce and a batch of flat bread so I guess it wasn't that bad. It would have been easier if we had a food processor but since we don't have one, we had to use our grinder to grind the meat up fine so it can pack dense enough. I'll post a picture or two when it is all done in case anyone wants to compare recipes or something.
