![oldcdgr](//storage.forums.net/6447321/images/juvLHSbPyjgJlrDFxGym.gif) My little Buddy was supposed to come home Sunday, Owner called me this morning he had a small cut over his eyelid, vet said probably one of the other puppies probably nipped him, no damage to the eye, sewed him up and put a cone on him. Breeder says he's running around playing but trying to figure the cone out. Will get him next week.

I bet you are going to spoil it and turn it into a overgrown lapdog. No harm in that dogs just need to be dogs and amuse us.

![](https://i.postimg.cc/wvCn4ggH/IMG-0927.jpg) I believe it’s the right eye, tough but doesn’t like the cone. He’s got the best handler and she will take good care of him, comes home next week!

Our rain/storms arrived early and exited early, so I might get in a smoke or two this evening after all.

Forecast is for 0 degrees (F) tonight. I guess now would be a good time to light the stove. A little snow today not nearly what we used to get this time of year.

My best dog ever, had a cone because of an eye problem, and it was quite effective in preventing her from exacerbating the problem…. Buddy will do well…. Cute little conehead!
In other news, we had about 20 in attendance to our December pipe club meetings, three new attendees that really seemed to click with our group…. Good times!

Good thoughts to the folks in nearby Clarksville who got hit by a tornado from the same storms that rolled through here earlier in the day.

I hope everyone is OK. The severe weather forecast for here totally fizzled. I saw a few impressive ones in Kansas, spooky as all hell. I cannot imagine having your home reduced to rubble and all of your earthly possessions strewn across the county… not to mention loss of life and limb. Prayers for those affected.

Trying something new to help with sleep. I'd been taking Valerian root and melatonin, but apparently melatonin can cause problems if you take it long term; besides, it didn't work all that well for me, anyway. Now I'm gonna try magnesium l-threonate, which is supposed to work pretty well without negative side-effects. We'll see.
First barrier to effectiveness: I'm not a great pill swallower and these capsules are pretty large and you have to take 2-3 of them.

Can be quite habit forming and not so go on the liver but does induce sleep.

I have a sleep problem myself, Urb and seems to be common with people of my age. I used to just wake up at four in the morning after about five hours sleep. That's why I would post here so early. I'm trying to work with it by staying up until after eleven at night and now I'm sleeping longer. I also nap in my recliner after dinner for awhile. I think this new routine is working.

What a sweet picture of Buddy asleep in the breeder’s arms. She obviously cares deeply for her dogs.

I have only had random singular bouts with insomnia, I hope that it never goes beyond that… no fun!

Wow... reading the Pipe Club of London minutes of meeting, yipes!:
"We are to investigate a trial meeting at Fox's despite the need to pay a maximum of £350 per session and purchase tobacco to be consumed at the meeting. This is to ascertain numbers attending this and subsequent meetings."

I've been taking the magnesium theonate for years to help me sleep as well as add magnesium to my diet as I take Nexium for reflux. I have been taking valerian root and a bunch of other stuff as well as a prescription sleep aid and I still barely sleep. I wish you luck. I take over 30 pills every day. It sucks, but it beats the alternative.

We have a much more attractive fee structure on this side of the pond, you drink Guiness, you pay for it!

That is my pattern as well. I, also, take an after supper nap, waking around 10:00 PM, returning to bed around 0100 and sleep until 0600. Seems to work.
