Up at 4AM when the alarm rang. I went potty. 

Hubby went potty. I put the dogs outside for potty.

I went to the kitchen to make a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

I put out kibble for the dogs. Taste of the Wild. We are out of the other. 

I put shredded cheese and tuna out for the cats. 

Hubby got dressed and made the bed. Then he put harnesses on the dogs and loaded the dogs into the truck.

I brought phones and drinks to the truck.

We drove to Bunkerville. On the way, the temperature was 100°. It got done to 98° when we got to the park. WAY TOO HOT. No more walks in this weather. It almost killed us to walk around the park. The dogs barely made it; thankfully the grass was wet and made it cooler. The dogs were exhausted and collapse in the grass by the truck. They all drank copious amounts of water. 

We loaded the dogs into the truck and drove straight home. With the windows up and the A/C blasting.

At home, the dogs collapsed on the cool tile floor. They drank MORE water. 

I went to sleep on the sofa at 5:30AM.

Hubby got ice water for the dogs while I was napping.

I got up at 8:30AM. Hubby cleaned cat litter. We put away clean clothes. Hubby filled the soaking tub up 2" with the hose. We cleaned out Hubby's ear hair. I vacuumed the cat litter.

I went to the kitchen to give tuna & shredded cheese to the cats.

Then I made a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

Hubby made the bed. Then he put harnesses on dogs. He loaded the dogs. 

I brought the drinks to the truck. There was a package in my seat from Harbor Freight, so I unloaded it.

We drove to Bunkerville and walked the dogs in the park. Hubby parked on the far side of the gate so we could close it. But the vehicle gate was also open. Had to close it.

It was very odd to walk the opposite way instead of the way we usually walk. I threw BALL for Riley. 

Tater pooped twice and I had to pick it up and carry it throughout the whole park. 

We gave the dogs water when we got back to the gate. Then we loaded the dogs. It was 5AM. 

Drove past the shop to see if the man-lift from Ace Hardware; but it was NOT there. Then Hubby left. He drove back to see if the man-lift was inside maybe Oscar had been there yesterday (WHEN HUBBY WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ACE HARDWARE).  Hubby took the keys from the Dually and used them to open the front door. But the man-lift was NOT inside. 

Drove back home. By 5:20AM, we were home again. 

I put the comforter in the washer. 

I made another hot tea. I took a nap on the sofa until 8AM. 

Hubby put the comforter in the dryer without putting in rinse. He cleaned cat litter.

He woke me up at 8AM and told me that he had to go down to the shop and help the A/C installer put in the A/C on the roof with the man lift. 

I picked up dog poo outside in the back yard.

Hubby finally got back at 11:30AM. He vacuumed. I cleaned up his mess from last night on the floor where he spilled his dinner WITH RED SAUCE all over the floor and wall and rug. 

Riley followed me everywhere while Hubby was vacuuming. She does NOT LIKE the vacuum.

Hubby made bacon outside, which I insisted upon because I did not want the smell in the house. 

Dogs went in and out with Hubby. 

I made sure  the dryer was still going on the comforter.

At 10AM, I put away clean clothes.

While Hubby was gone, Tater came out of our bedroom where he had been napping on the carpet and started BARKING UNCONTROLLABLY. We think he might have Doggie Alzheimers. He has done this several times this week.

Hubby drove to St George to drop off the Jeep. He went to The Crepery in St George to get us Mac Daddy crepes for breakfast. Then he stopped at Harbor Freight to buy some tools for the shop.

Then we got in the hot tub at 4PM. 

Riley jumped in the tub. Tater jumped in the tub. I filmed both.

When we got done soaking by 4PM, we got out. 

Hubby watched YouTube videos on TV. 

We watched TV for a while. 

I played BALL with Riley outside.  PBJR and Tater stretched out on the dog beds.

At 8PM, we went to soak in the tub again. Riley jumped in again. 

At 9:30PM, Hubby decided to make dinner "as he was hungry". He made some stinky red sauce food. Then he sat on the sofa and spilled it all on the floor when he sat it on top of his iPad on top of the arm rest.

Went to bed at 10:30PM.

PBJR tried running, but we caught her. 

We leashed up the dogs and finished our walk. 

No more walks there for us in the AM. Obviously people are out in the early mornings. 

We drove back home. 

Unloaded dogs. Took off harnesses. I let them out for potty. I picked up dog poop.

Hubby made breakfast for himself. Then he sat down to watch YouTube videos. But he realized he did not have his cell phone. It had come out of his pocket at the park when he was running after Tater. 

Hubby took my phone to call his phone, he drove BACK to Bunkerville in the Dually. 

I stayed at home and did bookwork. 

Hubby came back and had both phones. Some nice women at the park helped him look for his phone.

Thank goodness they found it. He had his phone on SILENT mode. 

He drove back. Then he stopped to talk with the neighbor that had his black dog with him before Hubby came inside the house. 

I warmed up sausage and cream cheese eggs in the air-fryer for mself.

Then Hubby watched SideTrack Adventures on YouTube until he cleaned out the cat litter.

Hubby woke me up at 6:30AM. I asked for 30 more minutes, but Riley came to lick my face and wake me up. I had a really nice dream about a nice boat in a exclusive resort lagoon with fish and Bud (our old dog) wrangling fish onto the boat.

I got up and dressed. 

I went to the kitchen to make hot latte for Hubby, hot tea and Nanogreens for me. I had forgotten about making Nanogreens and started making them again. Duh. 

Hubby was watching YouTube automotive videos.

I went outside and cleaned up all the dog poop out back. There were 21 piles. Where is all this coming from? 3 dogs x 7 poops each per DAY?

When I went back inside the house, I asked Hubby to go outside and rake the yard because Riley has really torn it up again. 

I started to clean out the fridge. It was disgusting with dog hair and leaked things everywhere.

CLEAN FRIDGE

 

When Hubby got back inside, I asked him if he wanted to throw out old bottles of stuff. Ick. 

Hubby left at 8:40AM when I reminded him. He took the Dually to work.

At 10:45AM, the Detailer guys came to clean the Jeep. I gave them the keys and they pulled it into the driveway to wash & detail it.

We got fuel at TA Express. I waited in the Jeep while Hubby went inside. I saw a handicapped guy backing a truck up from a parking spot in front almost back into another truck. 

I saw a grey truck circle the building 11 times after dropping off a couple girls. I probably should have called the cops. I asked the question at home on the computer and it said that might be potential trafficking stalker behavior. Damn.
