SATURDAY / MAY 9 / DOG WALK / STUART IN CAGE / ANIMAL CONTROL

SATURDAY

MAY 9 2026

STUART IS BACK

Up at 1AM when Rattler was yelling loudly. I shut the bedroom door because I was exhausted. Then he started up again. 

I got up, put out shredded cheese for him, I had to open a new bag and pour it into 2 ziploc bags. And he ate voraciously. Like he was starving. They have LOTS of kibble out for them. I went back to bed.

Awake at 6AM. I was shocked out of a nice dream (meeting Obama at an open election meeting, asking questions-it was a plesant dream). 

We got ready quickly. I made latte and hot tea. Hubby made the bed. We both got dressed.

Put harnesses on the dogs and we were out of the house by 6:20AM. 

Drove to Bunkerville in the FMF. 

RILEY & PBJR ON THE RIDE TO THE PARK

Unloaded dogs at park. Riley chased birds. Tater ran around. PBJR ate grass. Tater pooped - it was like pudding. Tater is losing weight, PBJR is gaining again. She JUST EATS 1 CUP OF KIBBLE A DAY. 

We gave the dogs water and loaded them into the FMF. 

HUBBY & DOGS AT SOCCER PARK IN BUNKERVILLE

FMF AT BUNKERVILLE PARK

Drove to the shop and Hubby looked to see if there were packages on the forklift. There was nothing there. 

We stopped at Walmart to pick up groceries. 

Then we drove home.

At home, I unloaded the dogs and let them out back for potty. 

Hubby brought in the groceries and put them away.

I went out to pick up dog poo and heard miaowing. Stuart has been missing for a couple nights. I saw him over at the neighbors in a cage. 

So I told Hubby to call the neighbors or go over there. He texted them because he thought that maybe they were still sleeping. Betty, our neighbor across the street texted back and said they had put it on Nextdoor because he has been EVERYWHERE in the surrounding neighborhoods. But I am not on those stupid social accounts, so I would not see them. 

Betty brought the cat in the capture cage over to us. They had been drinking over at Garry and Dawn's house and the cat came there, so Betty caught it in the cage with tuna. 

Hubby said he had heard miaowing last night when he was out with the dogs at 4AM. But he could not tell where it was coming from; it was from next door where the cat had been out all night long in the cage. 

So The Animal Control drove by to pick up their cage because Betty had called them to say they had caught the cat - that was up by the mesa, out on the golf course, over at Water Barrel subdivision. 

Hubby went out to talk with them. They did not yell at us, they were just thankful that the cat was home. 

We went inside and Betty went home. She sent me pictures of Stuart last night in the cage & at the next door neighbors. 

I picked up dog poo. Hubby made all the left-overs in the fridge into burrito goo. 

Hubby vacuumed the house. I put more laundry in the dryer. I put away laundry. I put all the plastic containers in the washer to clean. 

TATER OUTSIDE ON DOG BED

PBJR OUTSIDE ON DOG BED

Hubby then made Black Forest Ham, Swiss Cheese, Hawaiian Bun sliders. He put them in the oven to bake. They were delicious. 

BLACK FOREST HAM, SWISS CHEESE, HAWAIIAN BUN SLIDERS

We watched TV for a while. 

BORED DOGS. TOO HOT OUTSIDE.

We did Story Time and sat together on the sofa. 

Then we warmed up the sliders again and ate some.

It was 8PM and the temperature outside is still 92F degrees outside. No dog walk tonight for us.

I did more bookwork. Hubby watched TV-Youtube shows.

FRIDAY / MAY 8 / SEVERE PAIN / RELIANCE CONNECTS AT SHOP / NAILS / HOT @ 100F DEGREES

FRIDAY

MAY 8 2026

I had been in severe pain all day yesterday and today. Stomach. Pancreatitis? I took lots of pain meds and prednisone. 

Up at 1:30AM with the dogs to let them out. They ate and drank. I cleaned up their bowls. 

I went back to bed on the sofa. I was exhausted and still in pain.

Hubby got up and made the bed. Let the dogs outside for potty. He put out cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I finally got up at 8:30AM and took a hot bath. Hubby called Reliance and asked for the internet price of $52.95, but they wanted to see the website. He had me look it up on his iPad because I had not turned on my computer yet. It said $57.99 per month. So we are stuck with the higher price. 

I signed the documents online for Reliance at the higher price. Hubby was having a shit fit because he thought they would cancel the install today because he got the TDS internet cancelled and it will be taken out Monday.

I took my bath. I took some more Prednisone. 

I got dressed. 

Hubby left at 9:15 to meet the RELIANCE CONNECTS Installer at 9:30 at the shop. 

I picked up dog poo.

I vacuumed the house. 

I cleaned up the floors. 

I started laundry and put away clean laundry.

I started dishes in the dishwasher.

I washed my hair and conditioned it. 

I did bookwork. 

Called Hubby, he said it was taking a long time because the rep was installing it in the rafters. 

He finally got home at 1PM. Even though I asked him to bring me home an ice bar, he brought me home a gross sugary icy drink from one of the gas stations. 

Hubby made lunch for himself. He watched TV. He finally put away clean clothes like I asked him to an hour ago. 

Raven called and said her car window on Michelle's electric car is not working well I told her to bring it in Monday to have the mechanics check it out.

Hubby watched TV shows on TV.

I did bookwork. 

We left the dogs at home and locked the cats in our bedroom. 

Hubby drove me to GS Nails to get my nails done. 

BLUE GEOMETRIC PATTERN AT GS NAILS

Went to get lottery tickets in Scenic. Hubby got an ice cream cone. 

We came home. Let the dogs out for potty. Let the cats out of our room. Stuart escaped outside. 

Hubby watched TV while I did more bookwork.

We decided AGAINST taking the dogs for a 2nd walk tonight as it was still 88F degrees at 9PM tonight. It had gotten up to 100F degrees today. Sudden heat. 

I went outside several times with the dogs. PBJR and Tater slept in the sun while I played BALL with Riley.

We watched TV. Mostly CSI Miami re-rums.

Hubby went to bed at 9PM. He was tired. Snoring on the sofa. He let the dogs outside. Locked the doors. I still had conditioner on my hair. I put the dog blankets in the wash. Then I had to wait until they were done washing to put them in the dryer.

I also had to put Draino in the front tub drain after rinsing my hair.

I kept watching for Stuart to return, but he did not. 

I went to bed at 11PM after putting dog blankets in the dryer. 

Stuart did not come home last night. He was at the neighbors house in a cat trap. He enjoyed himself by drinking out of their pool.

WEDNESDAY

MAY 6 2026

Hubby was up at 2AM with the dogs. He woke me up. Slapped my foot to see if I was ok. He said he stumbled and reached for my foot. I woke in a panic. 

I went to the sofa to sleep.

Hubby was up again at 3AM with the dogs to let them out. He said he could not sleep. I told him to go back to bed. 

I was up at 5:15AM with the dogs and let them out for potty and back inside. I helped Tater and PBJR on the bed again. 

They slept until 6AM. Woke Hubby up. 

Hubby made the bed. 

I got dressed. I went to the kitchen to start the ice maker, give the cats some tuna & cheese. 

I made hot cinnamon/vanilla/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea and a hot plain latte for me. 

I went outside to pick up dog poo. I put the dirty laundry in the washer and started it. 

There was a dead shrew in the back yard that I made Hubby put on his sandals and go out to get. I believe that Stuart killed it. It was not juiced, just dead.

Hubby got dressed. 

Hubby put harnesses on the dogs. We loaded the dogs into the FMF.

We drove to Bunkerville and walked them in the soccer park. Tater and Riley ran free for a while, then we hooked Tater up to a leash. Both of them pooped. I picked up the poop and threw it in the trash.

TATER & RILEY AT PARK

PBJR was on a leash the entire time. She was running much more. 

After, we only had a little water because HUBBY DID NOT REFILL THE CASE OF WATER IN THE BACK OF THE CAR! Even though I had told him 3 times. 

We drove back to Mesquite and took the car thru the car wash. 

Drove home. At home, unloaded dogs. Hubby warmed up egg bites in the air-fryer for me. 

Hubby & PBJR left at 8:30AM in the FMF for the shop. I waved them goodbye out the front door.

I put dishes in dishwasher and started it. 

I did bookwork until 11AM.

TUESDAY

MAY 5 2026

CINCO DE MAYO

I was up at 3AM with Riley. She jumped off the bed and I went out to the living room to let her outside for potty. 

Then I went potty. I came back and brought her inside. She ran to the bedroom and got on the bed. Thank goodness she does not need help to jump. She flies like a deer. 

I went to bed on the sofa and slept until Hubby got up with the dogs at 5AM. He said he could not sleep anymore. 

He made the bed. He got together the garbage from our waste baskets inside and took it out. He took the Garbage can to the street and picked up the dog poop bags on the corner of the house. 

Hubby also fed cats tuna and shredded cheese.

I got up and got dressed. Hubby had put my jeans out on the bed. 

I made a hot cinnamon/vanilla/honey latte for Hubby. I made a plain latte for myself.

I put on makeup. Then we put harnesses on dogs. Took them out to the FMF and loaded them.

Drove to Bunkerville to walk them at the soccer field. Tater was being stubborn and would not listen. The lesbian woman was there walking her dogs at the park across the street, so we had to put Tater on a leash. I had to pick up other dog poop. PBJR was REALLY running around. She feels so much better. 

PBJR AT PARK

RILEY & TATER AT PARK

There was water in the field across the fence and there were some ducks in it. Not much else. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the car. 

Hubby turned off Riverside Road to get the phone number for a truck that is for sale he wants. I took a picture and texted the phone number to him.

Drove to Smith's on Hafen Lane - there was a cop there in a car with his lights going to slow people down at the school - I waved at a couple girls that were walking to school. 

We shopped at Smith's to pick up milk and some groceries. 

We left the dogs in the car with the windows down. They had water in the car and it was cooler this morning. We parked in the closest handicapped stall next to the entrance. 

There was almost nobody in the aisles. There were stockers putting out items. LOTS of booze. There were 3 guys unloading cases of liquor that were stacked taller than me. 

We loaded groceries and drove home. 

FUEL PRICES MAY 5 2026

Drove home the back way. The new Fire Department station is open at the intersection of Canyon Crest Blvd and Horizon Blvd. There is thick oil they sprayed on the parking lot that has no access to the building. (are the employees to park there?) 

There are new street signs at the corner of Falcon Ridge Parkway and Horizon Blvd. 

At home, we unloaded the dogs. I put them outside and took off their harnesses.

Hubby brought in the groceries.

I checked to make sure we got rent from the guys renting out 140 Riverside building side.

Hubby left at 8:30AM with Tater in the FMF. 

I did bookwork until Noon. 

PBJR and Riley stayed outside for a couple hours on the dog beds, enjoying fresh air.

RILEY ON DOG BED OUTSIDE

I cleaned up the kitchen counter and put dishes into the dishwasher to wash. I put laundry in washer to clean. 

I gave dogs & cats fresh water, fresh food, and fresh ice in their bowls.

I picked up more dog poo out back. I emptied all the garbage in the house (again). Then I took it all out to the garbage can out front. 

I took Hubby's corn-on-the-cob off the stove after 45 minutes that was boiling. 

I put fresh water in the dog bowls outside on the patio.

I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

I played BALL with Riley outside. 

Hubby and Tater got home at 4:30PM.

We took the dogs for a walk at the park in Bunkerville at 7PM when it got cooler. Almost dark. 

Dogs were happy. Riley barked at birds. PBJR ate grass. Tater ran a lot. Both gates were open, so Hubby closed both of them.

We loaded dogs into the car and drove home. 

On the way home, we stopped to wash the FMF at the Falcon Ridge car wash. Hubby was upset because there were other cars there at that time of night. 

Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we decided to drive-thru at Poncho's and get tacos. Hubby got soft shells for me, hard shells for him. We took them home to eat. They were not good. The crunch tacos were soft and rubbery. The soft tacos were not good. I had a couple bites. 

At home, we watched TV.

I took a hot bath. 

Went to bed at 11PM. 

MONDAY / MAY 5 / CLOUDY OVER MTNS / WINDY ALL DAY

 MONDAY

MAY 5 2026

Up at 5AM. Hubby was already sitting on my seat in the living room. I asked him to move so that I could sleep on the sofa. 

Hubby had been up with the dogs at 3:45AM and somebody had been walking on the sidewalk with dogs. Our dogs had to bark at them. 

I finally got up at 7AM. I was not feeling well at all. Tired. Exhausted. Hurting. It was bad. 

I got dressed. Hubby had already made the bed and put my jeans on the bed for me. 

I went to the kitchen to make a hot cinnamon/vanilla/honey latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

There is some weird white cloud formation over the mountains and it feels moist outside. Looks similar to a dust storm, but clear like clouds?

HAZY CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS

I picked up dog poo. 

I did bookwork and paid Vehicle Insurance for the next six months. 

I did payroll for the week. Stuart sat on the desk while I did bookwork.

STUART ON DESK IN OFFICE

I had to "chat" online with Quickbooks to wipe out an error code that had popped up in Payroll.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. Hubby vacuumed the floor. He watched YouTube videos. 

Hubby took the white Jeep to work today. He left at 8:30AM. 

I started to make raisin banana bread, but it came out awful and I threw it down the drain. 

After I cleaned out the bread maker, I then made sour cream white bread instead. 

I picked up more dog poo outside. WIND IS BLOWING AGAIN VIOLENTLY.

I put laundry in the dryer. I cleaned out cat litter because it stank. I tried to vacuum, but the vacuum is broken. I will order another one from Costco.

Bread is done baking at 2:15PM. 

Hubby texted at 2:30PM to run some credit cards for customers invoices. 

SUNDAY / MAY 3 / DOG WALK / WENDYS BREAKFAST / BEAVER DAM DAYS / NAP / CLOUDS IN SKY

 SUNDAY

MAY 3 2026

Awake early in the AM. I went potty and slept on the sofa. Had an overwhelming feeling of dread. Something bad is going to happen. 

Riley came out at 3AM to drink water, then she went back to bed. 

I slept again, but cats woke me up by eating kibble on the table quite loudly. 

I climbed back into bed with Hubby and dogs then slept until 7AM. Dogs got up and Hubby let them out for potty.

I made the bed, then I went to take a shower. 

Hubby fed cats shredded cheese and tuna. He gave the dogs fresh water. 

Then Hubby took a shower. He also washed PBJR and Tater. They were still dirty from going down to the shop this week. 

We washed all the towels and the large dog blanket on our bed. 

We put harnesses on the dogs, loaded them into the car, and drove to Bunkerville to walk at the soccer park. Riley really ran everywhere. She was really happy. Got to chase several birds. PBJR was even walking better. She is losing weight and feeling better. Tater ran, too. We happened to see a dog running next to a motorcycle and got all the dogs loaded in the car quickly. The dogs had water in the car. 

RILEY OUT THE WINDOW

We drove to Wendy's and got a chicken sandwich for me, breakfast potatoes, and a sausage egg & cheese biscuit for Hubby. 

We drove home. I was not really hungry at home because I ate too many of the breakfast potatoes. 

I made more hot water. We put cats in our bedroom. Put Rattler in the front room with water, food, and potty because Stuart was fighting with him. 

We left Tater and PBJR at home while we took Riley in the white Jeep and drove the back way to Beaver Dam. On the way down the boulevard, Hubby accelerated too quickly and got a DEATH WOBBLE in the Jeep that he said he would fix this week. He has the parts at the shop. It was scary. 

At the Beaver Dam Jam, Hubby looked for Eric, Eric's dad. We walked all over and finally found Eric down by the red food van. Eric could not find his dad. Finally found out that his dad HAD LEFT JUST MINUTES BEFORE WE GOT THERE. 

Riley got petted by some nice kid that asked to pet her. He was a polite kid. 

We walked past a huge kennel with Jim's dog Michael (Eric's brother) in it. He barked loudly at Riley. Some Bloodhound, Saint Bernard mix. 

So Hubby hung out with Eric, got a beer. Hubby took off with Eric's friend that had a refrigerator go-kart. I hung out with Riley. It got hotter and I was sweating. My right knee was hurting badly. I do not do well in the heat with my Lupus. 

HUBBY IN GO-KART REFRIGERATOR

Hubby got back and we had to leave. Jim's brother walked to our Jeep with us and Hubby gave him the gun that he needs to fix. 

We left there, drove to the Maverik station so Hubby could buy lottery tickets. He came out with Drumsticks to eat. They were NOT good and tasted like plastic. We both threw ours out the window on the side of the road.

At home, I unloaded Riley. 

I was almost collapsing from exhaustion, I put the chicken sandwich from Wendys in the microwave, made tea. I sat down on the sofa. Took a nap from 2 to 4PM. 

Got up at 4PM and did bookwork. 

Storm over the mountains and the mesa. It seemed to pass around us. No rain. Just dark clouds everywhere. 

STORM OVER MOUNTAINS

At 6PM, We took the dogs to Bunkerville and walked them in the soccer park again. They had lots of fun. The gate was open again, so Hubby had to close it.

We gave the dogs water and I had picked up several dog poos, so I had to put those in the garbage can.

We drove home. 

Unloaded dogs and Hubby sat down to watch YouTube videos. 

Dogs were dog-tired and collapsed on the floor when we came inside the house.

DOG TIRED

I did some more bookwork. Hubby bought A LOT OF STUFF ON AMAZON FOR THE SHOP THIS WEEKEND. So I had to log all that into the bookwork.

SATURDAY / MAY 2 / DOG WALK / SHOP / CREDIT UNION / UPS RETURNS / SHOP AGAIN /

SATURDAY

MAY 2 2026

Awake at 6AM, but did not get out of bed until 7AM. Dogs kept getting restless. 

Riley and PBJR jumped on my kidneys. Then Tater rolled over onto me. Hubby got up out of bed and went to the bathroom. 

I fell back to sleep for a couple minutes. 

Then I got up and dressed.

Went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/vanilla/ honey latte for Hubby. I made hot tea and hot plain latte for myself.

Hubby cleaned the cat litter. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the car. We drove to Bunkerville (had to drive past the old fucking man on the corner with the Dump banners. fucking mentally ill people).

Some idiot had to STOP AT THE ROUNDABOUT. Had to motion to make them go. More mentally ill people that don't know how to drive. 

Then we finally got out to Bunkerville and walked the dogs. I picked up SEVERAL piles of other people's dog shit. Yippee.

PBJR AND TATER IN CAR ON THE WAY TO BUNKERVILLE

Riley barked and ran after birds. PBJR is walking much better. They all ate grass. Even Tater ran around a lot. They all rolled around on the grass. 

PBJR RESTING ON THE COOL, GREEN GRASS AT THE SOCCER FIELD IN BUNKERVILLE

We gave the dogs water and loaded them into the car. 

Drove back to Mesquite and made a deposit of customer's check at the Credit Union. Drove to the shop and dropped off shocks (saw a bunch of Broncos, Jeeps, UTVs, Toyotas drive by on their way to a ride up the mountains-Casablaca Casino is doing a 4WD Event and did not get hold of us. The ONLY 4WD shop in town. Assholes)

FRIDAY

I was up at 4AM when Tater was pushing me out of bed. I slept on the sofa for a while, then woke up with explosive diarrhea. 

I went back to the sofa. Hubby got up with the dogs at 5AM to let them out for potty.

We all went back to bed and slept until 7AM. 

Hubby got up and put away dishes. I made the bed.

I put out the shower things for Hubby to take a shower. He got dressed afterwards. 

Imade a hot cinnamon/honey/vanilla latte for him. I made hot tea for myself. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the FMF. We drove to Bunkerville to walk at the soccer field. Riley found a golf ball. We threw it for her. PBJR is walking much faster now after putting her on kibble and she IS LOSING WEIGHT. Tater even ran a little while and his leg seems much better now. Did not need surgery. 

We gave the dogs water. I threw away the empty water bottles and poop bags. We loaded the dog in the FMF and drove home. 

At home, I got out with the dogs. Hubby drove to the shop so customers could pick up vehicles today. 

I had to put dogs outside. I picked up dog poop. 

I cleaned cat litter (again) which Hubby had not done. 

I started laundry and put laundry in dryer. I put clean laundry away.

I did bookwork. 

At 2PM, Hubby asked if we wanted to go with him to Vegas and drop off shocks at Vital Motion (Robert's) and I said no. Then I called back and said come pick us up. 

By 3PM, he was still not here. He said he got hit by 6 customers that came in and wanted services set up. So he was doing invoices. 

(Hubby had actually forgotten the shocks and was almost home-he had to turn around and go pick them up from the shop)

I went out and sat on the patio to throw BALLS for Riley. Hubby finally got home and the dogs barked at him as he came out on the patio.

We got harnesses on the dogs and loaded them into the FMF. 

We drove to Vegas. A couple cops pulled out on to the Interstate at Moapa, but they sped up and pulled out of sight. 

In Vegas, we stopped at Robert's shop. All the dogs got out and went to greet all the mechanics at the shop and Robert. 

Hubby dropped off the shocks. He picked up the other ones that he had dropped off on Monday. 

We left there, drove across the street so the dogs could potty. Riley ran after birds. 

We then drove to 8 Turn Crepe in North Las Vegas just of the 215. I stayed in the car while Hubby went to buy crepes. He got the Chicken Thai. He purchased the Philly Cheesesteak for me, but they added roasted peppers when he asked for them to add them. He had to take it back inside and make them re-do it.

8 TURN CREPE RESTAURANT

We found a park nearby and took the dogs to a nearby park. We ate our crepes. Then we walked the dogs around. Riley ran after birds while on the leash. Some people came to visit the park with kids that were going to play soccer. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the FMF. 

GAS PRICES IN VEGAS. WHAT A JOKE. PROBABLY FORGOT THE $6 IN FRONT OF THE .95

Drove back home to Mesquite. 

At home, unloaded dogs.

We watched Leverage re-run episodes on TV. 

Went to bed at 9:30PM. I was exhausted.

Hubby had to get out of bed when he came to bed because he was having cramps. He drank pickle juice and took Magnesium supplements.

I was up at 2AM with Tater because he had to poop. Hubby had given him Wendy's last night. 

I was up with the dogs at 3AM for potty.

Hubby was up with the dogs a couple times. I was too tired to move. 

Up at 6AM. I made the bed and dressed.

Hubby put the dogs out again for potty. He gave tuna and shredded cheese to the cats. He re-filled the dog food bowls with kibble. He got dressed. 

I gave Hubby a candle stuck into the raspberry fritter that we purchased at Smith's yesterday morning. I sang Happy Birthday to him. I gave him the cards from me and the dogs & cats. 

I picked up another 12 piles of dog poop from the back yard. I still think the dogs are pooping too much. 

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into FMF. 

Stopped to pick up the mail from the post box. It was the NV DMV tag for the Dually and a birthday card from Hubby's brother. 

We drove out to Bunkerville to walk, but there were dogs there already. We were late getting going and it was already 7:30AM. We walked there very early at 6AM yesterday morning.

Drove to the Info Center and let the dogs roam. Riley barked at birds. 

The mobile Meth Lab RV pulled in and parked. We put the dogs on leashes. Gave them water and loaded them into the car. We drove home. 

At home, unloaded the dogs. Changed PBJR to her pink collar and took off all the dog harnesses. 

PBJR and Hubby left in the FMF for the shop. However, Hubby was back in a few minutes because he left his phone at home. My phone was still in the car. 

PBJR JOINS HUBBY AT THE SHOP- SUPERVISING PETTING FROM CUSTOMERS

I vacuumed up cat litter in the armoire, put laundry in washer and started it. Put dishes in dishwasher and started it. 

I finished packing all the gift bags for the Virgin Valley 4x4 Club POKER Run tomorrow. Hubby will get together all the raffle gifts today.

I took a couple Benadryl because my left eye is still watering, swollen, and itchy. I am also sneezing.

Found the BAD CAT - Stuart - had peed on Hubby's side of the counter next to the sink in the master bathroom. I had to clean that up. There was also poop stains on the carpet in our bedroom. I had to clean that up, too.

At 10:30AM, I washed and conditioned my hair. 

I put the dogs out a couple times. 

I did bookwork.

Hubby had me fill out some paperwork application for a vendor, but ended up not buying from them. 

I completely filled all the 25 goodie bags for tomorrow's Poker Run. I stapled the business card on the paper sacks and some of them had been torn apart by the cats, so I had to re-do those. 

I put away clean clothes. I put away clean dishes. 

I played BALL with Riley outside. 

Hubby got home early at 4PM. We both got changed for dinner. 

HUBBY ENJOYS BIRTHDAY DESSERT (THAT REUBEN GIFTED US) 

REUBEN PREPARING SPINACH SALAD AT TABLE SIDE

We took the Jeep to dinner. Parked in the side lot. Hubby did not want the valet to touch it. 

Both of us were just too stuffed. After eating Filet & Lobster for me; Hubby had Steak & Shrimp. Reuben had gifted us an ice cream cone with fruit, but I could not eat it. Ate too much tonight. 

We came back to the house after dinner. Let the dogs outside for potty. 

We watched TV and went to bed at 9:30PM.

Then Hubby got up at 5AM to let the dogs out, give cats cheese and tuna. 

Kibble was already out and dogs ate a little. 

Hubby made the bed. 

I got up at 6AM and dressed. Hubby was already dressed. 

I went to the kitchen to make hot cinnamon/honey/vanilla latte for Hubby, made hot plain latte and hot tea for me.

We got harnesses on dogs and locked up house. 

Loaded dogs into FMF. 

Drove to Bunkerville. 

Walked dogs in soccer park. Horses still gone. 

All the dogs were OFF LEASH today. 

Tater pooped 2 more times. 

We gave the dogs water and loaded them into the FMF. 

Drove to Smith's and got milk, sausage, on-sale meat. 

Loaded groceries in car. Then drove to Jose's storage lot and hooked up the trailer. 

Drove home. At home, the neighbor next door walking his dog WITHOUT A LEASH again walked past our car and we had to wait until he was home before we could unload dogs. Our dogs barked at his dog, I was expecting his dog to jump up on our car. 

Then Hubby brought in the groceries and unloaded them. Put them away.

Hubby & Tater left for the shop in the FMF. They were supposed to pick up a customer's UTV Dave N. Hubby was back again a few minutes later. He brought in his and my coffee cups from the car. 

Then he left again. 

I put clothes in dryer. I put away clean dishes. 

I did bookwork. 

I played BALL with Riley outside several times.

MONDAY / APR 27 / COOLER / WINDY

MONDAY

APRIL 27 2026

I was up at 5AM. Went potty. 

I put out kibble for the dogs. Put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I made hot cinnamon/vanilla/honey latte for Hubby, made hot tea and Nanogreens for myself.

I put out clean water for cats & dogs. I started the ice machine. 

Then the dogs got up at 5:45AM and we went out for potty. I picked up dog poo. I played BALL with Riley.

Hubby got up at 6:15AM. He came outside on the patio. The weather was so nice and cool, so we sat out there for a while. I got Hubby's latte for him so he could drink it.

I went to make the bed while Hubby vacuumed the house and cleaned cat litter. 

I took a shower and washed my hair. I washed all the dogs. Riley walked in first by herself, then I washed PBJR and finally Tater. Hubby had to chase PBJR down as she ran to the hallway. RAN. 

Hubby toweled them all dry and let them into the yard. 

I got dressed.

Hubby sat on the sofa from 7:30AM until 8:20AM. 

Hubby went to re-fill my washing machine soap from the big bottle, but he dropped it. It splattered all over the floor and wall in the laundry room. 

I told him to leave and I would clean it up. 

Hubby left for the shop in the white Jeep at 8:30AM. 

I made my own breakfast, sausage and cheese egg bites in the air-fryer with some oatmeal. 

I did bookwork. I played BALL with Riley outside again. I had to pick up more dog poo. They poop too much.

USPS dropped off a package from Amazon. 

I put away clean clothes. Cleaned the tray for soap in the washing machine. Put away clean dishes. 

I did bookwork. I played BALL with Riley again. PBJR and Tater slept on dog beds. 

Hubby got home at 5:30PM.
