SATURDAY / JUNE 7 / RETURN HOME / ELEVATION SICKNESS / DOG BREAKFAST / SHOWERS / NAPS

SATURDAY
JUNE 7 2025


Hubby was up at 5AM to potty. He crawled back into bed. The dogs settled down again. 

I was just so uncomfortable. Tater hogged the blankets. My hip was digging into the side panel even with the pillows there. 

I had a headache, sweating, uncomfortable. Had to close the vent as I was freezing, then opened it again in the morning because I was sweating. Starting to pant because I could not breathe several times in the night. 

ELEVATION SICKNESS. I really CANNOT go above a certain sea level. 

I got up at 6AM to potty. I dressed and got the collars/harnesses on the dogs. Then we all went outside. It was a wonderful sunny morning. About 41 degrees F. All the dogs ran & played. PBJR waddled fast. They all pooped. Fortunately, I don't have to pick it up!

We camped just off Midway Ridge in the Cedar Breaks National Forest area.

ORCHID IN CAMPER


Both of us worked to pack up everything. I closed up everything inside. Got my pillow for the truck. I sat in the truck while Hubby finished getting everything put away.

We left there at 7AM. Drove down to Cedar City. I had to give Hubby some Tylenol for his headache. He was also suffering from Elevation Sickness. We both agreed that it was unpleasant to sleep last night. Stopped mid-way and had to just wait for a while. Hubby wanted to go down gradually to lower levels.

Continued to Cedar City and stopped at Beans & Brews for lattes. I wish I had gotten a tea as my latte tasted like dirt. Hubby liked his.

We drove to Burger King for breakfast. Hubby got me a Croissant with sausage, cheese, and egg. Got the dogs Croissants with cheese & egg. Hubby fed the dogs. I took my aspirin with my latte. 

We then drove north thru town; decided not to walk dogs in that park again, instead we got on Interstate 15 and drove South to the side two-lane highway to Kannarville. 

We walked the dogs in the park at Kannarville behind the Town Hall. Lots of poop from other dogs that had not been picked up. Suddenly, PBJR had walked in other dog poop and was limping. She was holding her right paw up and then walked on the sidewalk. We saw the outline of dog poop packed dog print on the sidewalk and understood that her pad was PACKED with dog poo. I took her to the grass and tried to wipe off as much as possible on the grass, then we walked down to the play area thinking they would have a restroom or frost free. Of course, NO RESTROOMS. The frost free was LOCKED. These towns just do not want anybody to use their services.

We walked back to the Dually/Camper and Hubby fed water to the dogs. Then after they were all done, I used the water to wash PBJR's paw. 

We also used the Clorox wipes in the truck to clean her paw. Then I washed my hands with a Clorox wipe.

We got into the truck and drove back to St George. Traffic was OK. Dogs slept the entire time. 

BRAWLER BABIES SLEEPING IN THE BACK SEAT OF DUALLY

Hubby saw some Brawleys in the parking lot at the Factory Powersports. We had to get off on the next exit and drive thru town to go see it. He looked one over (they have 3) and took pictures.

We drove to Mesquite. Washed the truck/camper at the Falcon Ridge Car Wash.

I had to potty quickly because of the latte's effects on my tummy. I got out and used the potty in the camper. Then I waited until Hubby got the back of the truck/camper washed.

We left there and returned home. All of us were tired. 

I got inside the house with the dogs and the house smelled nice. No dead cat smell. 

I let the dogs outside. I went potty. I made hot tea for myself. 

I let dogs back inside. Hubby brought the food from the camper fridge inside. I warmed up dog food for the dogs and fed them. I gave PBJR another antibiotic with cheese. 

I started laundry. I put clean laundry from the dryer away. I cleaned cat litter (quite a lot) and then vacuumed the armoire. I put clothes away from the camper. 

Hubby was busy cleaning out the dirt from the camper, plugging the camper into power, filling the water in the camper, bringing things in from the camper. 

I finally got done. I was sweating. Turned the house A/C to 67 degrees. It showed 115 degrees outside. WE NEED TO MOVE. 

Hubby came inside and collapsed on the sofa. He got some food and drink for himself. I ate the left-over Arby's chicken cordon blue. I made more hot tea. 

At 2PM, I went to take a shower. Hubby came to help me. I washed my hair first, put conditioner on my hair. Then I washed Riley first. Hubby helped dry her off. Then I washed Tater. He was easy, but a lot of big dog to cover. Hubby helped dry him off. Then PBJR was last. I tried to be gentle with her face cuts. She kept trying to escape. Hubby dried her off and then let all the dogs outside to run around. They all were having zoomies in the house. They are SO clean. Their white really stands out!

I rinsed off and got the hair out of the dog scrub gloves. 

Hubby took a shower after I was done. Tater stayed in the bathroom with Hubby.

I put a Hair Mask on my hair and covered it with a plastic bag. Then I got more clean clothes out of the dryer and put them away.

RILEY SLEEPIN ON ANTERS

I sat on the sofa. Watched TV. Hubby sat down and fell asleep. All the dogs decided to take naps. 

At 5PM, Hubby woke up. He made some food for himself. PBJR had eaten his food when he left it on the sofa while taking a shower. She had been left alone. 

I put away more clean clothes. I put all the towels in the dryer. Hubby went out to get my bag and PBJR's red blanket from the front of the truck.

I told Hubby to watch The Accountant 2 since I had watched it the other day.

Put away towels with Hubby. 

Went to bed early 9PM.
