Happy Toosday!
Messy morning.
I was supposed to pet sit Buttercup and Ruby today.
I let Lucy and Lily know I wouldn’t be coming to the park.
I decided I’d take the brats with me, the car guy said to throw a blanket over the seats for the dogs.
Then I started panicking because I realized the food I was taking with me has pork in it. My friend’s husband and MIL are some religion, not Jewish, that doesn’t allow them to eat pork or shellfish. They are Christian but follow Jewish dietary rules.
My other option to take was shrimp.
Since I was leaving later than usual, I decided to get a bath before going.
I hear my phone ringing, it’s my friend telling me she doesn’t need me to watch her dogs as her husband is home today.
I let Lily and Lucy know I was going to the park, although I would be late.
Ripple and Echo didn’t want to get in the car. Something new, they don’t like it. I had to drag Echo in. Both had to ride in the back and Ripple was very unhappy about that. He rides shotgun, ALWAYS. They dislike the car even more than I do. Ripple was afraid to jump out of it, even though it is closer to the ground.
Since we were late to the park, other people were already there.
One woman took my seat, which of course it’s a public park and she can sit where she wants, but she sees us there all the time, and all of us always sit in the same places. I always sit on one end of the bench and Lily mom sits on the other, but other woman plopped her ass right in the middle so nobody else could sit on that bench.
I knew my dogs wouldn’t like it, shar pei hate change, but I was surprised at how many of the other dogs were upset too. They kept looking at me like, why are you over here when you belong over there?
Don’t disrupt their world that way.
But then to top off the morning, don’t know what got into Bandit. First his lifted his leg on Remus dad’s leg, then he came over and sprinkled on my leg. Don’t know if he was marking us as his property, or saying piss on you.
He has never done that before.
He is also one of the ones who seemed a bit thrown off by me sitting in a different spot.
This is why, no matter how grungy I am, I never shower or put on clean clothes before going to the park.
Finally got the check from the old mortgage company.
Less than I expected.
Still waiting for the check from AT&T.
Nettie, you are not being unreasonable. I wonder if they shop for multiple people at the same time.
Around here, senior cut day is the day the other classes take their tests. This week. My friend’s son is all excited about it. He is going to stay home and play video games.
Our senior cut day was near the end of the school year.
I am horrible with plants. I have managed to kill both spider plants, and wandering Jew. I was assured that they were impossible to kill. For a while I was doing really well with African Violets. Only because my bathroom window faced south and was frosted. Lots of diffused sun light and high humidity.
I’m worried about my palm, I’m afraid when I bring it inside it’ll die. I think I’ll bring him inside at night when it’s cold, but put him back out during the day. Get him used to being indoors gradually.
For sure the love of my dogs is worth the drool and hair.
I’m sorry for your cousin Red.
Old lady job sounds good though.
Glad George came through okay.
Male cat neutering is pretty simple though. I watched a vet do a few on the tailgate of his pickup. Waiting for the anesthesia to take effect took longer than the actual surgery. They were barn cats though, so they woke up and off they went. No pain meds, no cone of shame.
Daughter’s Dr appt was good - the baby was active. Next week’s sonogram will determine if they’ll have to do a C-section or not. Last time they looked, he was breech, but he may have flipped. We shall see.
) but it meant someone else wound up handling block most of the time, with me pitching in occasionally.
