Quick paintjob on some Dust Tactics Axis Zombies.

I have been fairly prolific on Google+, and we're working on a new website, to be revealed soon.

More painting!

Work, work work! Jobz done!

2011-08-15T07:39:00.000-07:00

I recently took on a commision of priming/basecoating a 140 figure Savage Ork army, and finished it this weekend after about 6 hours of total work.

Afterwards, I did some "touch-up" work on one of the river trolls, (with the client's knowlege of course).

I had lots of fun painting this troll. It was so much fun that now a box of trolls has hit my want-list. I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks. Mayhaps the wifey will suprise me. *grin*

GenCon Indy 2011 and Engineer Jeff

2011-08-10T15:56:00.000-07:00

This year the money just wasnt there to do two full runs of gaming conventions, so I picked Origins and went 3 days. GenCon travel materialized after some discussion with another buddy of mine who had never been to a Con before, so we drove to Indianapolis Saturday morning and paid the whopping $48 plus tax for 1 day registration and we were official GenCon geeks.

After a initial sweep of the vendor hall, (holy smokes that place was huge), we settled down to do some costume watching, and were not disappointed.

Wyrd Miniatures had some nicely painted minis up for display and sale.

I got to talk to this guy, Mike McVey, who was at the Cool Mini or Not booth, showing off his new gaming system and the associated miniatures.

Later on in the afternoon I played some Tanhauser with some friends, ate at TGIFridays, and then got in a game of Star Trek Expeditions. All in all, I had alot of fun for the duration of the time I got to hang out. My feet are still killing me, so next year I'll be wearing better fitting shoes!

Wold Warden is finished!

2011-07-31T06:48:00.000-07:00

First figure of my Circle of Orboros army is done. I put him on a swampy base. Thanks to Trash for the idea.

Feedback is appreciated.

Marneus Calgar is done.

2011-07-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

Let me know what you think. Critique and comments are welcome.

On the workbench, Marneus Calgar WIP

2011-07-25T21:26:00.000-07:00

I took these WIP shots on my MS LiveCam. Should be finished up with this model in a couple days.

New pics of WH Fantasy Vampire Counts kits

2011-07-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

I found these on several sites last nite after my buddy Fish found and linked them on our Google+ chat session. Looks like I'll be keeping my VC battalion after all. *grin*

All in all, I think these are great looking kits from GW, that will help re-VAMP the VC line. I cant wait to get mine!

Ultramarine scout Sgt Telion

2011-07-20T19:31:00.000-07:00

I enjoyed painting this model. I promised myself I wouldnt get picky about a ton of details, and had fun with it.

Confrontation Flesh Golem and more. WIP for July 2011

2011-07-20T19:18:00.000-07:00

Hellpit Abomination WIP

Flesh Golem from Confrontation. This was a resin kit they put out way back when. They are re-releasing these kits starting in August at GenCon. I have since put a basecoat on this big guy and will be finishing it next month.

A test color pattern for my clanrats.

Much more to come.. and videos! I promise! :)

Want some nice looking wolves for your Thunderwolf calvary?

2011-05-13T10:58:00.000-07:00

Just found these gorgeous models at Paulson Games.

I plan on ordering 5...

Massive Voodoo Contest Entry pics

2011-04-13T09:33:00.000-07:00

Massive Voodoo is having a Mad Max car competition and this is my entry. It is an old 71 Hemi Cuda model kit that I had sitting in a box forever, now converted into MY version of the ultimate post-apocalyptic world transportation of choice. This is my first scale auto kit attempted in almost 15 years.

So... what do you think? See how many rats you can find!

Space Wolves in progress

2011-02-27T19:50:00.000-08:00

As I promised.. Pics..

LongFang

DoomWolf Company

And just for giggles.. I built three Kroot the other day for fun. I dont care if they suck in game. :)

A pic of the workbench + homework for school.

Space Wolf RTT 1500pts progress

2011-02-23T18:27:00.000-08:00

As I mentioned in the previous post I'm gunning to get 1500pts of puppies painted up by March 12. Here is the list of fun I'm running

Rune Priest with 9 Greyhunters in rhino   (plasma, melta, p-fist addons for the squad)
Rune Priest with 9 Greyhunters in rhino   (plasma, melta, p-fist addons for the squad)
Rune Priest with 9 Greyhunters in rhino   (plasma, melta, p-fist addons for the squad)
Long Fang unit (5 missile launchers w/captain) in a Razorback
Dreadnought (Multi Melta addon)

This, plus all the extra bells and whistles adds up to 1500 points even.

Pics comin at ya soon.

Space Wolf Rune Priests

2011-02-16T20:41:00.000-08:00

I converted these from WHF Chaos warrior bits and used a bit of greenstuff to extend the fur to cover the joint madness underneath. DakkaDakka is having a mini of the month painting contest and this month's theme is leaders. One of these two will be my contest entry. I am painting up 1500 pts worth of wolves for an upcoming Rogue Trader Tournament at my LGS, Krystal Keep. I dont know if there is a best painted award or not, but I'm going for it. Stay tuned for updates.

Bloodbowl Orcs are finished!

2011-02-16T20:27:00.000-08:00

Finally, all 16 of this team are finished... complete.. done deal. I'm going to release a YouTube video this weekend showing the painting process and showcasing some of the individual team members. Let me know what you think!

my wallet!! OOOOOH the pain! grumblegrumble GW

2011-02-11T09:37:00.000-08:00

GW released pics of the new WHF Orcs/Goblins and they are full of awesomesauce. I had heard rumors on DakkaDakka and Warseer about this monster spider kit that was coming, but was skeptical. My worries werent well founded, as this kit has amazing potential for conversions and paint. At 57 bucks, I'll probably only be buying one, but it kept me from selling off my skull pass goblins in hopes of someday completing a spider-goblin army.

Stay tuned....

Imbrianarts and some goblins!

2011-02-08T07:15:00.000-08:00

I was digging through the web, always searching for those beautiful miniature gems and after following a Confrontation interweb trail, ran into Imbrianarts.com. These minis are simply gorgeous! I'm now saving up my pennies to buy the goblin set and trying to figure a way to integrate them into my goblin army for WHF. (Yes, I have found another WHF army that I simply must have.)

Check em out, and buy some minis!

Imbrianarts

Short vid of BloodBowl Orcs

2011-01-25T19:29:00.000-08:00

Just a short 5 min video of the orcs I've finished so far, and some of the paints I used. Hmmm.. I need to figure out how to lay down two tracks of music. Someone suggested laying in one track with the video, then saving it, and then adding the second track. I made this vid with Windows Live Movie Maker, so if anyone has a suggestion, post it up!

Resolutions and some Bloodbowl

2011-01-05T19:02:00.000-08:00

Wow. Its been a weird year. I built a ton of models, but painted only one mini, the bloodbowl orc shown below. My new years resolution for 2011 is to get off and stay off my arse and get the minis I have piled up in my studio painted, and to resist the urge to buy new ones. If the new Skaven second wave models are any indication of the quality GW is putting out this next year, I'm hosed. Basically I have drawn out a battle plan/priority list to get things painted and make a dent in this stack of plastic and pewter.

15 more bloodbowl orcs for my buddy Jeff
5 Skaven rat ogres
20 Space Wolf Grey Hunters
30 Skaven Plague monks
Plague Furnace
8 Space Wolf Long Fangs (Sarge and 5 missile launchers, 2 las can)
50 skaven slaves (old school)
2 Rhinos
*insert random "holy smokes I gotta have this model! here*

With a new dedication to my hobby and a self imposed drastic reduction in WoW time, I want to finish this list by May 1. Stay with me and check out my YouTube channel for updates and pics.

Here is the first orc, a black orc blocker

I'm ready for this one. Hot dames,samurai, dragons, and kickin kung-fu action. Dig it.

Take back the Twilight!

2010-08-24T06:27:00.000-07:00

Aka.. Ask a Ninja!

more goodness... INC!

2010-07-20T10:34:00.000-07:00

Just got this from GW..

"Incoming: Misty Mountains

Khazad-dûm, nestled below the mighty peaks of the Misty Mountains was once the greatest of all Dwarven holds - a place of beauty, light and artisanship unequalled. Now, however, it is the haunt of Moria Goblins, lumbering Cave Trolls and other, more terrible creatures.

For generations the Dwarves have longed to reclaim their ancestral home, fighting long and bitter wars against the Goblins who have usurped their cherished kingdom beneath the mountains.

This October the battle for dominion is set to intensify as both the armies of the Dwarf Holds and the Misty Mountains receive new reinforcements. With new miniatures for both factions, Good and Evil players have something to look forward to.

For more information about the Misty Mountains releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf. Players of the Strategy Battle Game will find rules to accompany all these models in November's issue of White Dwarf."

More dwarves! More gobbies!

And earlier this weekend, someone broke the news and posted up pics of the new GW WHF boxed set minis.. Here are a couple of the skaven figs.. The high elves are just as spectacular..

My wallet groans...

Rats, WoC, Crons, Space Wolves, and a dream..

2010-06-29T09:47:00.000-07:00

Since I'm now on my break between classes, lots of work has been done the last few days in as far as assembly and converting for this mass of pewter and plastic that I affectionately call, my "pile o shame".

My dream is to clean up the chaos which is my studio, (yes, AGAIN), and regain some semblance of organization so I can continue this habit of daily progress.

Marauders Mayhem is coming up in Oct/Nov, and I'm nowhere near where I need to be to place or be in any contention to win best painted army.

Much thanks to Aaron and Ian from Shackled Goblin Studios for organizing a local painting group which has been meeting up once a month at the LGS for themed painting sessions. I didnt get to attend the last two, but plan on showing up for July's meeting..Check out the latest flier..

Slacker Supreme!

2010-04-06T18:44:00.000-07:00

Bottom line? I'm slackin hardcore! I've been playing WoW a bit more since cramming a ton of studying in during the last couple weeks of class to pull a -B- grade out of this past quarter's class. I've been putting some time into assembling the bazillion Skaven for my 2250 Pestilence army.. Gonna go with a list something like this..

Lord Skrolk
40 plague monks
plague priest
plague furnace
40 plague monks
40 clanrats
40 clanrats
30 slaves- (old clanrats)
30 slaves- (old clanrats)

I'm also building just for teh giggles;
12 giant rats
6 rat ogres
6 rat swarms
nurglitch lord on rat

I cant stand the old clanrat models. The new rats are sooooo much nicer sculpt and are easy peasy to put together. Therefore, they are my slaves, and will be treated as such on the battlefield!

The Necrons are still in progress. I picked up another battalion and am in the process of building these up. I'm debating on staying with the rusty swamp necron theme and maybe build up a unit of just swampy necrons, sans rust. We'll see where the creative mind takes me.

Orks are shelved for now. I've got 5 mega armored nobs built along with Gazagkhull and Snikrott with 10 commandos.

Space wolves- The battleplan is to work on a unit a month, having them fully painted by this fall. Lots still to do!

No pics today.. I still need to download them from the camera!

Cya in a couple weeks!

It sure is cold!

2010-02-22T16:15:00.000-08:00

Tons of snow last week translated into me getting more painting and modeling done, and into finally editing a two part youtube video of my workspace/studio. I've been busy on the rusty swamp necrons, and just picked up a Monolith that I'll be assembling this week. Here are a few pics to check out.

This guy is a confrontation resin fig that I picked up for the cheap at my LGS bargain bin. Got three of em that I'm going to use for wraiths. This is the normal pose.. I'm converting the other two. The tentacles are guitar strings..

Here is a link to the studio tour on my Grimmbo Youtube channel, so check it out. Leave me some feedback willya?

They're coming!

2010-01-27T19:19:00.000-08:00

Yeah, I know I’m slacking as far as getting my two blog posts a month in. I do have a ton of pics and material to post about, but you’ll just get these teaser photos to keep you in anticipation…. Maybe I'll get motivated this week to push all this stuff out. *grin*

Its a new year..

2010-01-04T17:54:00.000-08:00

Resolutions abound on blogsites this week, and this blog wont be an exception.

I resolve to:

Paint at least every other day
Complete my Space Wolves
Complete my Skaven
Crank out at least one video a month for YouTube
Post on this blog at least twice a month
Get in some gaming at least once a month
Compete in at least three painting competitions.

There are plenty of other resolutions for life in general, but no sense in blogging about them here. I'll do an end of year blog next December and we'll see if I can follow through.

I ordered some pigments and the heavy black wash from Les at AwesomePaintJob.com . I'll do a review of the product once I receive it.

Mewwy Christmas!

2009-12-24T21:10:00.000-08:00

For some strange reason I couldnt hit the "r" key to save my life earlier when typing in the title. I kept hitting the "w" so I figured, what the heck! Mewwy Christmas it shall be!

I have some stuff to post up! Since passing both of my classes for the previous quarter I have had some time to paint. Once I get the pics downloaded, I'll fire up a post to show em off.

Hope all your stockings are stuffed with the games and miniatures you long for.

Have a very mewwy Christmas!

I tells a fib! I posts! Again!

2009-12-07T21:59:00.000-08:00

I'm sitting here listening to episode 27 from my saveordieradio buddies, having recently finished 5 hours of homework, and I figured, what the heck, I'll check out the Privateer Press site to see what is new. OMIGAWRSH!! The inner steampunk geek in me rejoices!! Hel-oooo Extreme Destroyer!

This guy is two or three shades of sweetness, abeit, 60 bucks of sweetness, but I digress. I've always wanted a Juggernaut extreme, but now I want em both! Maybe I can put these bad boyz on my Christmas list.

5 more days..

2009-12-07T08:03:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since my last post, and honestly, I havent picked up a brush and painted or modeled much of anything either. I'm taking classes full time this quarter, and it is kicking-my-arse. My last day of class is Dec 11 and after I clean up the workshop a bit, I'll be back to painting and will put my first video up on youtube under the Grimmbo channel. It will probably just be a brief tour of my work area, so dont expect some epic spectactular example of modern filmmaking.

On a side note, my buddy got his pigment business up and running. Now I have two sources for weathering pigments, Les, from AwesomepaintJob , and Careos, from Sharper-designs. I currently have some pigment from Sharper-designs since he is a local guy, but havent had a chance to try them out yet. I'll be ordering some from Les at AwesomePaintJob here in the future and will post up a review of both once I get a chance. BTW... Les has some new stuff coming soon, so check out his store and get some of that wash he sells. I made my own using his recipe, and it is truly the cat's meow.

I just ordered two new GameForces mags from the coolminiornot store, and wouldnt you know it, they just announced they're carrying MAOW miniatures. I wants some of those bottle covers and dice! Neat stuff!

I'll post up again after this next weekend, post mad painting frenzy.

Skaven fun

2009-10-21T05:42:00.001-07:00

I had the fortunate opportunity to assemble 40 of the new GW Skaven clanrats this past week. Those rats were a DREAM to put together compared to the old style minis. The kit consists of three parts plus a base with minimal mold lines. The DoomWheel was a major pain to assemble sans instructions, but after a bit of tinkering, I got it figured out. Pics to come!

Steampunk hotness!

2009-10-07T13:57:00.000-07:00

Got a warjack that you want to highlight by making the most awesometastic,(yeah, I made that one up), base for? Check out Skullcrafts.com and purchase their Steampunk basing kit. For 30 bones you get everything you need to build massive amounts of bases, all with a Warmachine/steampunk theme. They also have a few nice tutorials for base building here.

Try em out!

Skaven love.. thank yew GW!

2009-10-05T13:39:00.000-07:00

GW has released pics of their new skaven models to be released Nov 7. Feel the love!

I dont see any new rat ogre models yet. Bummer.

No IB

2009-10-05T09:45:00.000-07:00

Iron Building isnt gonna happen. I didnt get anywhere near finished with my first 500 pts. I'm finishing up the genestealers and the broodlord, and I'll most likely finalize the three warriors and 8 homagaunts. Friday I picked up two boxes of the new space wolves, a box of wolf guard terminators, the codex, and the rune priest character. I have a ton of stuff to take pics of. Hopefully I can get them posted this week.

Snoddy node

2009-10-01T07:41:00.000-07:00

This week has been a Iron Builder crusher for me. I'm fighting an upper respiratory infection and have done absolutely ZERO painting. So needless to say, unless I get better fast and have a mad painting session tomorrow night, Saturday's deadline wont be made for the Iron Builder competition, and I'll just bow out. Might be for the best anyway, as the new Space Wolf models are being released tomorrow, and they'll get me hankerin' to finish my wolf army.

Ah well.. Cest la vie...

Genestealer list

2009-09-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

Ok.. Change to the change..

For Iron builder pt 2, I'm going for this list..

Broodlord+5 genestealer retinue.. BL with FH, +str, FT: GS with +str, EC
8 hormogaunts
3 warriors with syth talons and deathspitters
6 genestealers +str, EC

All the models are assembled. I'm painting genestealers and the broodlord first, then the guants/warriors

Weeee! Space Hulk Genestealers!

2009-09-15T06:50:00.000-07:00

Yay for me! I picked up some SH genestealers on ebay for a steal. I'll find a way to include these babies into my Iron Builder army.

I also found a Red Terror model for teh cheap in the used minis bin at my LGS. After a day of soaking in Castrol super clean, it is bare metal and ready for construction. I'm having a build-lots-o-bugs week so after the smoke clears, I'll fire up some pics.

Iron Builder pt deux

2009-09-14T07:43:00.000-07:00

My LGS is having its second Iron builder competition and I'm such a glutton for punishment, I signed up. To show you how MUCH of a glutton I am, I agreed to build/paint Tyranids of all things. An Iron Builder competition basically boils down to the contestants paying a fee at the beginning, (October 5 is our start date), and each month you paint up 500 pts of your chosen army. By the time you get to the end of month four, you have 2000 pts fully painted, and we have a mini tournament. Points are awarded each month. Check it out..

"Painted Army Scoring Assembled: +2 point Primed:
+2 point Based (sand/flock/etc):
+2 point At least 3 colors on models:
+5 OR Models “Finished”:
+9 points Models “Unfinished”: -3 point

Definition of “Finished”:
All aspects of the model are finished, including teeth/eyes/lenses/claws/gems/etc.
Definition of “Unfinished”: The inverse of “Finished”. (duh!)

As a result, a completed 500 point army will net the player 15 points, while an incomplete army will only net the player 8 points. In addition, you will play games with your developing army each month. You will gain points based on how well you do.
League Games Scoring Win: 5 points Tie:
2 points Loss:
0 points
You will play games in the Ironbuilder Leagues in an attempt to gain points.

You may play as many games as you wish during the month, and you may keep your best result. But these points may only be gained ONCE per month."

There are big prizes for best painted and overall winner. My big plan is to go Nidzilla as much as possible to keep model count down, and use genestealers as my regular troops. I'll keep updates here as the months progress.

My first 500pts may look like this...
Flying CC Hive Tyrant
Broodlord and 5 genestealers
7 genestealers
Part of me wants to make my Tyrant a big shooter, the other wants him to be a CC monster. What do you think?

FopCon 1 is complete.

2009-09-02T13:04:00.000-07:00

FopCon #1 is over. Here are some of the highlights of the trip.

See previous blog entry about FopCon HERE

The Hall

Saturday my kitchen pass was still good, so I drug my two lackeys into the truck and we made the trip to Huber Heights and visited FopCon 2009. We got there around 12 noon and were welcomed by Doug and the rest of the staff who were very helpful to show us around.

Say hi to Doug the organizer.

Left side of front hall

Right side of front hall

Bell, Book, and Comic table. Friendly faces!

Simply Fun table

Back room gaming fun. I think everyone back here was doing some form of RPG.

Big Heroscape game in progress.

Tom from Fat Dragon Games, who helped explain Heroscape to me.

All in all, it was a fun trip. They had a decent turn out of about 30-40 people when I was there. I left around 1:30 but was told that the events would run late into the evening. I'll get word from Doug for the final head count, but I can see this becoming a MUCH bigger event in the years to come..

This is Rich and Aaron. They had their own booth there at the con, trying to sell off some of their old action figures to make some $$. Word has it that Aaron will be a new daddy this week. Best of luck to you guys!

The Guild

2009-08-27T21:11:00.000-07:00

Just upgraded to the new template format. I was using the "classic" style and couldnt figure out where all my setting/options were to rearrange the blog page. Silly me.. Click UPGRADE TEMPLATE button for teh win!

Added some favorite links to the sidebar. Go check out the Save-or-Die radio podcast and leave them some feedback! These guys are buddies of mine and have managed to create a really cool/hilarious show. The WarGamer Community is a great place to find info about modeling and painting. AwesomePaintjob has some amazing tutorials. Just click the links.. You know you wanna! Let the geek flow freely!

Let me know what you think of the blog. Be gentle. :)

Skaven.. They're coming!

2009-08-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

GW just announced yesterday that the Skaven will be the next upcoming WH fantasy army to be revamped.. Nice looking cover art for the codex as well. With GW's recent new mini releases having such nice sculpts, it looks like I'll be draining the wallet for a plastic/metal fix a little more this fall.

Video test.

2009-08-22T20:09:00.000-07:00

Testing a video..

Space Wolves- prequel

2009-08-22T19:11:00.000-07:00

For Russ!

I've shelved these guys for way too long now. Back in April I entered this army in a Iron Builder contest, and took second place for best painted. I figure they're about 70% finished. Some models need more than others obviously, but with the new Space Wolf stuff coming out from GW in October, I want to have this army finished and ready for any gaming I get lucky enough to participate in. Some of you may recognize these pics from MyBattalion.com, where I orginally posted them. I'm also going to finish up my Tyranids during my three week break from school. Here is a pic of one of the warriors I started.

Awesome!

2009-08-22T19:03:00.001-07:00

I *heart* this guy... Really. Looks like he is coming out with his own line of paints/pigments/washes. Les, you're a true bonifide benefit for the mini-gaming hobby/community!

Linky to his video (youtube)

For the Horde!!

2009-08-21T06:36:00.000-07:00

BTW, I'm back playing WoW, Horde side, on a pvp server again. I'm currently lvling a 71 hunter in the vast expanses of Northrend. I'm running with some buddies who are lvling a DK, shaman, rogue, drood, and a lock. Should make for a pretty tough pvp team once we all hit 80. Coming to an arena near you..

Two posts in one day! Someone call Super Dane!

2009-08-20T13:13:00.001-07:00

Uncanny likeness eh? I think my guns are bigger. I need to figure out how to photoshop some paintbrushes into that utility belt.

Make your own hero HERE.

Summer, summer, summertime!

2009-08-20T08:50:00.000-07:00

August in Ohio usually means lots of warm, humid days. Not so this year. We're hanging in the 70's to low 80's with an occasional poke into 88 or 89. Even so, its perfect weather for a convention. Last week saw several of my gaming buddies hitting GenCon. No way for me to go this year, so I got to live vicariously through their pictures, often taken by cell phone, but effective nonetheless. A big hearty thank you to my two ninja shoppers! You know who you are.

Next weekend, (August 29th), is FOPCon, which for a small local convention, looks pretty well organized. I'll be there assuming my kitchen pass isnt revoked, and suggest if you're in the area, to stop by and get your game on. The event is sponsored by The Dayton Area Boardgaming Society , Fat Dragon Games , (who have a crazy sweet GM Screen, check it out!), and Bell, Book and Comic, one of the LGS here in the Dayton, Ohio area.

More info about the con can be found here.

The bench

2009-08-06T07:54:00.000-07:00

After about three weeks of organizing, a few hours here, a few hours there, the chaos was contained. My paints and supplies are where I can reach them, and I have plenty of room to move around. A friend of mine loves to say, "It aint real without PICS!", so there ya go. The little green table you can barely see next to my drafting table is where I put my son when he wants to paint his models.

With everything in it's place, I should be able to get more modeling done. Y'think? :)

Arrgh! Shiver me timbers! Voodoo Elixers

Indy Dave from the RAM in Indianpolis recently announced they were carrying RootJack, Pirate Elixer from Voodoo Elixers Inc.

I'm not a pirate, but I aspire to be one some day. Maybe even attain the covetted rank of Pirate Captain! (someone has to fight off all those ninjas).

Check the Ram and grab a bottle of this tastey goodness if you happen to hit GenCon this year.

Incursion

I gotta tell you. Zombies are my idea of cool. Nazi zombies are even MORE cool. Cool in a way that has me drooling like an old basset hound staring at a juicy steak in anticipation of getting my hands on this miniature line.

So ya.. I'm looking forward to this game and its minis..

Here is some cover art from the site...

And the website itself.. http://www.incursiongame.com/

Baron passed away Saturday, June 25th. Friday night wasnt a good one. He was walking stiff legged, breathing shallow breaths.. Saturday I made the decision to take him to the vet. My wife said the vet checked his lungs and one side sounded normal, the other side sounded like it was restricted. Apparently this cancer has a tendancy to spread to the lungs. I drove 2.5 hours and buried him under a pine tree at my mom's house. I dug a 5x3x2 hole in 45 minutes in 90 degree heat.. Mom lives out in the country and we can visit his grave when we go to visit her. God speed you big goofy poop eating, loveable dog. I dont know what happens to dogs when they die, but I hope hes in doggy heaven. He sure deserves it..
