Those with a weak stomach....be warned!

So, we're trying to make some progress in our little bar on the prairies by coming up with interesting tourist-drawing gimmicks. One that we have had on our mind for some time is "The Piapot Six Shot" It consists of 5 shots of Rye and water...with a mysterious 6th shot which we had yet to discover. One day we were talking about that 6th shot, and we came up with a little something that would draw the good, the bad and the down right brave! A prairie oyster! (for those who don't know what this is...it consists of the remains of a calf's castration lovingly prepared for the enjoyment of unsuspecting folks) Well, we had only one issue...where do you get THAT many calf-nuts? Lucky for us, Joe Braniff went to a branding this morning and showed up with a grocery bag plum FULL...of castrated calf testes! Garth Noble gave me a quick lesson on removing the teste from the sack, and I was on my way! The picture to the left is my display of calf-art...the complete set we were given. Glenn was very proud, and just a tad disturbed, that I did this for us! Thanks Joe and Murray (from Calgary) who provided such entertainment for me this afternoon. That's me and Joe with the prairie delicacy!

Now for some sweet and innocent news! On a recent trip out to Garth Noble's ranch one evening, we ran across his litter of 8 week old greyhound pups. Glenn and I were both instantly drawn to them...and then Garth told us to pick one out and take them home. We thought about if for a nano-second, and then picked a sweet little girl with white on her chest, paws, nose and the tip of her tail. We have named her Janey, and she is quite the little ankle biter. She is really easy to train so far, and we just love her! Thanks for reading...more wild and wacky news from Piapot to come...Cheers.
