Pretty good

On the serious side, I really worry about it.

Clarence likes to stay pretty close to me at all times. I usually put him in the house when I'm actually welding. He still chooses to stay when the grinder is running. He hates the O/A because of the hiss.

I finally broke down and bought a floor magnet sweeper thingy because he likes to sit in the container when I'm running the press or mill. I worry about him picking up chips in his coat, then licking them off later.

He's sort of a PITA.

And the dumba$$ still thinks he's tougher than a 1000lb. cow. That's run up a vet bill or two

Little dude's so old now he has cataracts, so maybe he can't see crap anymore anyway. Can't see a rabbit unless the damn rabbit damn near comes up and thumps him on the nose these days.

I'm constantly sweeping and cleaning the floor to keep the chips and sawdust out of the fur and off the paws.

Blowing yourself off with air is a real unwise practice. Google can find lots of bad results for you. Had to say that because others read what you say and think it is a good practice to imitate.

Was cutting some plate with O/A on a job site one time. Owner had a Shepard that loved to chomp at the sparks as I cut. I had to stop several times to ask the guy to take his dog away. Finally, he said, "Screw 'Em" Dog never did get burned that I know of.

Idiot dog of mine likes to bite rotating tires.

My dog (a chow) love's running after atv's. She especially loves running after and nipping cows for her its fast food.

A TRUE INDUSTRIAL DOG

I figure either someone's gonna call the SPCA on me for makin' him live like this, or someone's gonna call County Health on me for ME livin' like this

[TozziWelding]

She is safe, she has her welding hat on.

[farmersamm]

She looks ready to go to the site

I chase the pets out when I attempt to weld, but my bigger concern is setting them on fire!

[mrandrei]

Those cats look scary! ROTFL!

[Ag Specialties]

I have a pair of English Mastifs in the shop. Been there for years. never had a problem with those dogs eating chips or burning their eyes. The only problem is, they steel our helmets and gloves when we aren't looking. If we are missing something, we just go to the dog house and look there first.

[TxDoc]

Hope I'm not breaking a "too many pics rule"!

[farmersamm]

There is no "too many pics rule" when it comes to the pups and cats

[TozziWelding]

Doc if you were closer, my wife would make me go steal the pup from you. The lab she had as a kid died last year at 14

[sc6chuck9]

LOL, I love all the pet pics, it has brought a big smile on this ole'farts face. My work in machine and fab shop has been so slow the last two years I've had to lay all my help off except for me and the dog, and the dog has been worried for a while now,,,,,,,,lol

theres a difference between blowing yourself off with low PSI air from the air compressor, and blowing yourself off with the oxygen from the torch.
remember o2 and oil dont mix!!!

[scubaholic]

i do it regular my self but hes talking abt the aircompressor it can get under ur skin and cause allot of problems its never stopped me or ne one i know though

[Boostinjdm]

"safety tips" are supposed to prevent the air pressure from being focussed enough to puncture the skin. I just keep my blow gun at arms length. A broom doesn't work so well.....

My Assistants some days, they sometimes work for cheap, other days its a minor fortune.

Muffin, the acrobatic cat!
