PBJR was chewing on the new fastener for the dog gate and Hubby yelled at her. Tater was chewing on a deer antler in the back seat. PBJR was really upset when Hubby reprimanded her. Like he had beat her! Her beloved daddy raised his voice! When we got to the park, Hubby apologized to her and petted her.

I got harnesses on dogs and we left by 4:30AM to take the dogs for a walk. 

We got to the soccer park in Bunkerville quite early. There were no other cars out on the roads. Only saw about 3 cars the whole way. Nobody was walking dogs in our neighborhood, so Tater did not have a chance to bark. 

Upon driving into the parking lot, we saw LOTS of bunnies. They were hopping everywhere. Surprised not to see them in the grass. So Hubby waited until thebunnies moved away. We had to put dogs on leashes because they saw them, too. Wanted to run after them. 

We finally let the dogs off the leashes after we got a ways from the parking lot. Riley ran after birds. It was quite cool today. I was almost freezing. 

We gave the dogs fresh water. Loaded them in the Dually and drove to the Info Center. 

We unloaded the dogs at the Info Center. Nobody was there. No other cars or homeless. We walked the dogs around on the sidewalk. Gave them fresh water and left.

At home, unloaded dogs. Hubby cleaned the dually and vacuumed it. He put garbage can out at the street and picked up the dog poop bags by the house. I put all the garbage inside the house in one bag and took it out. I remembered to take out the tree branch garbage bag that was in the back yard. 

I warmed up egg bites and sausage for me in the air fryer. I made oatmeal. 

We had lots of time to sit around. I took a nap on the sofa for about 20 minutes. Hubby finally left. He had put his new guns in the truck.

I made the Jack's pizza. It was awful.

GROSS, AWFUL PIZZA

We watched The Secret In Their Eyes, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, and Julia Robers. 

I hated watching Julia Roberts because I think she is not a good actor, but Chiwetel was great. I don't remember this movie when it came out in 2015.

We went soaking in the Hot Tub for a while. It was way too hot because it had been heating up all day.

Put laundry into the washer -wet towels and bathing suits and started it.
