wednesday So the hubby and I have been predicting what has come about for quite a while - since VZ has been sucking dry all the profits from this lucrative area for years. Secrectly selling off valuable good assets; refusing to invest in long term plant; treating the employees as nothing more than dirt. VZ finally sold their "rural" areas to Frontier Communications. The hubster will have a new employer. King Ivan finally achieved his first part of the plan to conquer the world - sucking dry a good company that was GTE and spitting out what was left.
tuesday night We took Angus & Harriet to dog training class last night. The instructor was in a foul mood-snapping & not being very helpful. I couldn't hear most of what she said during class as she was on the opposite side of the room and didn't repeat for our side of the building. When I asked her to repeat-she asked if I was actually listening. Gee. Shit. I'm. Not. A. Little. Kid.
Harriet was moody & morose - probably picking up the aura from the trainer - and Harriet ended up snapping at 2 fellow dogs. So the instructor threatened that we would not be able to come back to class unless we had a "haltie" to restrict Harriet's problem. Without even explaining what a "haltie" was, she was quite rude. I complained to the hubby as he was trying to work with Angus and he was lost for explanation. Maybe she was on the rag this week. Last night we traded dogs quite a few times so the pups would get used working with both of us. So it wasn't like she was misbehaving for one of us or the other. The first time she acted out was for hubby, the second time it was for me. Which is highly unusual behavior. She has never done that to any other dog!
Forgetting the string cheese & blankets we were supposed to bring we showed up to class without them & the instructor made some snide comments about "walking out of the door without our heads on"; which I felt did not need to be said. As I have said in the past, I have pre-onset Alzheimers and forget quite a few things. Plus, my vision is going & my hearing. GOD. It sucks getting old.
So to alleviate all the problems, I am going to get everything collected ahead of time for next week. We need two 30-foot long lines, one blanket & string cheese for next week. Plus the haltie for Harriet. This class is costing quite a bit in just "accessories"!
On the way home, we stopped to pick up dog shampoo on sale at Albertson's Grocery Store and hubby wanted something to eat, so we picked up KFC for him.
Isabelle & Bravo greeted us with whines & yelps at the front door - it was so nice to be back home - finally get someplace warm. It was to get down to 28F degrees so we put the plants inside to prevent them from freezing.
