It's official, I am now a curmudgeon. [View all]

Yesterday I did something to the back of my left knee, maybe a hamstring strain or something worse. Anyway I am using a cane and have a brace on my knee to make it easier to walk. Just now I heard this commotion on my front porch. Two half grown dogs were raiding our cat Tony's food bowl.

I ran out yelling and waving my stick at them telling them to get out.
