Blaze & Daze

Playing with coco....I was going to mix it in the garage, and they a lightbulb went off...Why move it twice. Mix it in the basement where needed! This is 3 of the Canna bricks, which should be 60 liters. My chunky perlite should be here tomorrow.

Just used RO water with Calmag in it and nothing else for now.

I had a very productive day today and now it's finally time to enjoy some movies, bowls and time with my wife. I finally got a portable AC for the house and just in time. We hit 89 today and when we got back from shopping the house was 83°. The little AC is doing it's job and it's down to 75 and dropping. Now I can finally chop my plants as it will be cool enough to dry them slow. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend.
 
I don't even know where to begin. So I basically worked for 3 months with only one day off. That being Mother's Day. So Memorial Day and the Sunday before it are my big payoff with two days off in a row. Basically to get caught up with yard work on sunday. Then go to my buddies annual Memorial Day party on monday. Early Sunday morning about 15 minutes into me cutting my grass my daughter comes out frantically crying. She says that mommy decided to clip the dog's nails and now he is bleeding everywhere. Somewhat annoyed I walked into the house. To a fucking bloody murder scene. On her very first nail she had cut into the quick and pretty bad. He was all hot and bothered and his heart was literally pumping the blood out. Like it was squirting. I knew about the quick. But I no idea it was like that. I've never seen so much blood in my fucking life. I freaked out and called the emergency vet. And they told me they were booked and can't see him. And to run to a pet store and get some shit to stop it. So I did that. And he was still bleeding when I got back. So I tried throwing this shit on his toe. But he really doesn't like having his feet touched all that much. So basically he was just running away from me bleeding everywhere. I finally took him up to my truck and got him to relax and just started throwing the shit at his foot. Which wasn't the best idea because then as soon as I got him out of my truck he just started bleeding again. Finally I just laid down in the yard with him and threw more of the shit on his toe. After about 5 hours of laying in the yard it finally stopped bleeding. I slept in the hallway with him that night. But did not really get that much sleep. I woke up in the morning pretty happy that it stopped bleeding. I took him outside to use the bathroom. And God damn it if there wasn't a deer in the yard and he took off after the fucking deer. And yep stubbed it and it started bleeding again. So I ended up sitting with him in the yard for several more hours on Memorial Day. I was really looking forward to taking him to the party and socializing him as there would be lots of other people and a couple other dogs. But had to leave him home so he would not bleed over everybody. When we got back from the party it seemed to have finally stopped bleeding . And it's now Friday. It seems like it has done bleeding and it is not bothering him anymore. It also seems like me and the wife do not want to kill each other anymore. My grass has still not been cut. And the rest of my yard work is still not done. But I feel a little bit better. It was a fucking week.

I have that in my trauma kit I keep with me. That and Quickclot are life savers for bad bleeds. I'm an hour away from medical care if something happens so it's on me to be prepared. My wife did the same thing to my service dog years ago and it took several packs and lots of pressure to stop the bleeding. It's scary to see them bleed so much.

Styptic powder and a towel, you bundle him and hold on tight while using pressure you hold the powder to the open nail bed and HANG ON

Yep that's what it's called. I tried that a couple times and he really just wanted to aggressively murder my hands. Like I could not figure out how to hold him and the towel on his foot at the same time. Without getting absolutely mauled. I'd get him calm, distract him with chicken and just throw it repeatedly. As all this was transpiring, he actually did not act much different besides to like stop and lick his toe. We definitely made it worse by freaking out and on each other. But I mean holy fuck it was a lot of blood. Like I didn't even know a dog had that much blood. But yeah that was how I spent my first real days off in months LOL.
