This was a Halloween display at a house behind Pretty Water Lake in Sapulpa Oklahoma. Pretty fun to watch.

Our 14 year old poodle's right eye started becoming cloudy. At first we thought that it was just age related. Within a weeks time it started getting really bad and knew we had to get her to the vet. Our vet said that she had lens luxation and that her lens had moved forward. She said that surgery was available but didn't really recommend it due to her age and sent us home with some eye drops and pills to keep her comfortable. After studying up on dog lens luxation I am beginning to think that I might need to get another opinion. What is lens luxation? The crystalline lens is suspended behind the pupil where it helps to direct light rays onto the retina, where a visual image is formed. The lens is normally held in place by thin fibres called ‘zonules’. In some patients, these zonules can break down and as a result, the lens becomes instable and starts to move within the eye. Initially, the lens is likely to only be a little bit ‘wobbly’ and it may sink towards the lower part of the pupil. This often happens without you noticing and only an experienced ophthalmologist is likely to be able to pick up the earliest signs of lens luxation with special eye examination equipment. However, with time, the lens may become fully detached and will start to move freely. If the lens falls into the back of the eye, it may not be noticed for quite some time – but it is more likely that the lens will slip into the front of the eye – where it becomes stuck between cornea and iris. This is likely to cause acute pain and vision loss and you may notice that your dog’s eye is sore and blue. Lenses that are trapped in the front of the eye are likely to cause increases in intraocular pressure - termed glaucoma – which can be blinding. Emergency treatment is usually required for lenses that have luxated into the front of the eye and your vet usually will try and recommend urgent referral upon diagnosis. Have you had a dog that has had this? What are your thoughts?

This is what I put up with every morning. My German Shepherd and my Poodle will walk around the house like this for at least 30 minutes. I think it's their morning wake up ritual.

It's been 11 days now since I started drinking Certo and grape juice as a remedy for arthritis . As promised I wanted to leave a follow up review on my thoughts of this. You can view my original video on how to make it here https://rumble.com/vbr53t-home-remedy-for-arthritis.html

There was a little river in Oklahoma that was slightly flooded with a very strong current. In there current there were several catfish schooling at the top of the water. Unfortunately the current was too strong in this area to easily fish.

During the spring of 2019 we had massive floods throughout Oklahoma. Some areas had towns that were completely flooded. This is a video of Highway 20 going over Skiatook lake.

This was the opening of day 2 of the crappie tournament at Table Rock Lake in Branson Missouri. The tournament was held from October 29th through October 31st. One hundred of the top crappie-fishing teams in America competed on Table Rock for their chance to win their part of the $200,000 prize! This was on day 2 when the remaining top 50 competed.

My German Shepherd Dog continues with her jokes. This one is kind of cute. I also think the photo used in this one works better.

This is just a reminder that I will follow back anyone that follows me. I also spend most of my day watching the videos created by those accounts that I follow. If you are looking for a source of people looking to follow others, check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/2692096254383934/?ref=share

My German Shepherd learned how to talk. It turns out she has a sense of humor.

Three days ago it was 72 degrees. This morning we have snow. They are predicting 1-3 inches in or area here in Bixby Oklahoma. Fortunately it never really stays. In Bixby, the summers are hot and muggy, the winters are very cold and windy, and it is partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from29°Fto94°Fand is rarely below16°For above102°F. Based on thetourism score, the best times of year to visit Bixby for warm-weather activities are fromearly Maytolate Juneand frommid Augusttomid October.

I've got a friend who told me last spring that he didn't want to set up his pool this year because it was too much work to clean it and keep it clean. I told him he should just fill it with fish and use it as a fishing pond. I was shocked when I found out that he took me seriously.

Christmas lights(also known asfairy lights,festive lightsorstring lights) are lights often used for decoration in celebration ofChristmas, often on display throughout theChristmas seasonincludingAdventandChristmastide. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with andles whichsymbolizedChrist being thelight of the world.This custom was borrowed from pagan yule rituals that celebrate the return of the light of the sun as the days grow longer after solstice: the evergreen trees symbolising the renewal and continuance of life in dark times. The Christmas trees were brought by Christians into their homes inearly modern Germany. Christmas trees displayed publicly and illuminated with electric lights became popular in the early 20th century. By the mid-20th century, it became customary to display strings of electric lights along streets and on buildings; Christmas decorations detached from the Christmas tree itself. In the United States, it became popular to outline private homes with such Christmas lights intract housingbeginning in the 1960s. By the late 20th century, the custom had also been adopted in other nations, including outside the Western world, notably inJapanandHong Kong. In many countries, Christmas lights, as well as otherChristmas decorations, are traditionally erected on or around thefirst dayofAdvent. In the Western Christian world, the two traditional days when Christmas lights are removed are Twelfth Night and Candlemas, the latter of which ends theChristmas-Epiphany season in somedenominations. Leaving the decorations up beyond Candlemas is historically considered to be inauspicious.

My arthritis has been getting worse lately so I started looking into some home remedies. The that seems to be the most popular is a mixture of Certo liquid pectin and white grape juice. Just mix 1 tablespoon of Certo with 8 ounces of white grape juice. Drink this once a day. Certo is a plant pectin used to thicken jams and jellies. This remedy has been known to work since the 1940's. According to the Eruropean Journal of Clinical Nutrition in May of 2012, Pectin has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood sugar and it may have anticancer activity. Grape juice contains antioxidant polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds also dilate blood vessels and improve circulation. They may also enhanceimmune function. I'm going to give this a try and see if it works for me. I will give an update at another time and let you know.

I recently purchased an Instant Vortex Plus and wanted to share my review on it. This multi function cooking appliance has become my new go to tool for cooking. Not only is it an air fryer, but it can also be used to roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. It come with everything that you need to get started. So far I have used it to make french fries, burritos, fried shrimp, crab cakes, hot wings, and beef jerky. My next test which I will try today is a big one. I will try to fry some catfish. If it passes this test then I know that it is perfect for us. If you are in the market for an air fryer I highly recommend this one.

Cats love fish, but cats also hate water. This cat is willing to take the risk in order to catch a meal. A friend of mine sent me this video of a cat trying to cat a fish when they were down by the lake. Spoiler alert: he win in the end.

Abigail is my grandaughter. We picked her up on the way to California to go with us to my nieces wedding. While we were there we stayed at a place with a swimming pool. She used to be afraid of water, but it didn't take long before she didn't want to get out.

We were at the Oklahoma cheese festival in Watonga, OK. There were a bunch of stilts for the kids to try. This just goes to show that it doesn't get any easier the older you get.

Does your dog chew their nails? Two of our four never need to have them trimmed. Here's why.

Trees had to be removed from the front of my daughters yard. This the the falling of the main branch above the trunk.

This video was taken the last time I was in Las Vegas. We were on the opposite side of the strip when it started so I had to stop and start the video. Even from the opposite side of the street I could feel the heat of the flames. The Mirageis a 3,044-roomPolynesian-themed casino resort on theLas Vegas StripinParadise,Nevada, United States. The resort was built by developerSteve Wynnand is owned and operated byMGM Resorts International. An artificialvolcanoalong the Strip that "erupts" nightly at 8:00 pm, 9:00 pm, and 10:00 pm. After sister propertyBellagioopened, the design firmWET Enterprisesimproved the technology behind the volcano effect to make it more spectacular, in 1996. To avoid the smell of uncombusted natural gas odorant, themercaptanis stripped from the natural gas and apina coladafragrance is added to the natural gas stream. The Volcano closed for a second and more elaborate renovation in February 2008 and reopened on December 8, 2008. A new soundtrack, complete with the sounds of actual volcanoes erupting, and featuring the work ofGrateful DeaddrummerMickey Hart, has been included for an even more enhanced experience. This is a must see attraction when you visit Las Vegas.

Scout is half Labrador and half Border Collie. In this clip her Lab half is definitely kicking in. She just loves playing in the water when her Swimming pool is brought out. Skye is half black Lab and half Bulldog. She however doesn't like playing in the water and thinks that it is only for drinking.

What do you do when you know that you can not win? You act like you aren't even trying. This is a clip of my two sons arm wrestling. My youngest was talking trash, but when it came down to actually performing and he knew he couldn't win, he tried to make it obvious that he wasn't even trying.

The palomar knot is the strongest knot that you can use for attaching hooks, swivels and lures. I use it whenever I am fishing for larger fish and using larger tackle. The Palomar knot is a knot that is used for securing a fishing line to a fishing lure, snap or swivel. Steps in tying a Palomar knot. 1. Tie the loose overhand knot. 2. Pass the object through the remaining loop. 3. Start snug. 4. Finish snug (pull evenly on standing ends). 5. View of obverse side. To tie the knot first double 8–12 inches of line into a loop and pass it through the eye of the hook, lure or swivel. Tie a very loose overhand knot using the doubled loop and the doubled section of line leading back to the fishing rod. Pass the object to be tied through the remaining loop of the overhand knot and slide the loop up onto the line just above the eye of the hook. Moisten the knot to lessen the friction and pull on the tag and standing ends evenly to snug the knot down. Trim the free end of the line to a length of about 3mm. This knot is good for all kinds of light fishing lines, especially braided Dacron, and retains almost all of the original line strength, even with monofilaments. It also is nearly impossible (if tied correctly) to "pull out". It is equally effective with other fastening applications – such as a dog clip to a rope – provided the object being tied to can pass through the loop, and the line or rope is not too thick to pass through the object twice, and, with practice, it can be tied in the dark with cold hands.

When it comes to catching flatheads live bait is always better. It's also fun to sling out a light rod while you are waiting on a bite on your main rods.
