THURSDAY
JUNE 18 2026

Hubby was out on the sofa at about 2AM. I got up to potty.

I was up with the dogs at 3AM to let them out for potty. I let Hubby sleep amd took all the dogs back to bed with me.

I was up at 4AM. I let the dogs out for potty. 

We left our bedroom door open all night long, so Stuart slept on Hubby's chest and did not scratch at the door. 

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

I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. I cleaned the water bowls & filled all the water bowls with fresh water. I turned on the ice maker. 

I put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I put dirty clothes in the washer. 

Hubby got up at 4:30AM. I made the bed while he dressed. He put on his shoes. He closed the doors and locked them. Then I put harnesses on the dogs. 

We loaded the dogs into the FMF. 

Drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs in the soccer park. It was still dark. At the park, we unloaded dogs and walked around. Not many birds out. We saw a HUGE CRANE on the services tower again. 

We took Riley's yellow ball and a golf ball so we could throw them for her. She got a lot of exercise doing that.

Picked up the dead baby bird in a dog poop bag. It was still where we had left it yesterday.

We gave the dogs fresh water and then loaded them into the FMF. I walked down to throw away garbage, wrapper from water bottles, water bottles, and poop bags. Hubby drove the car over to the RESTROOMS so he could go potty. He complained that the restrooms are disgustingly dirty and needs to have a pressure washer to clean them.

Tater kept barking in our ears as we drove. He barked at passing dogs. 

We drove to the Info Center. No homeless or hobos there today. We let the dogs run around without leashes. Even PBJR was really good and walked beside us. 

Riley barked at the trees, but no birds would fly out and play with her. 

We gave the dogs fresh water and loaded them in the car. We drove home.

We got back home and unloaded dogs. I let the dogs out in the back yard for potty. I put more ice in the dog bowls. I refilled clean water again. 

I put more dog food in bowls. 

I opened the front door for the cats.

I put sausage and egg bites in air fryer for my breakfast. I made oatmeal. 

I picked up dog poo. I then came inside and made more hot tea for myself.

Hubby warmed up a burrito for himself.

Hubby texted Oscar and he will pick him up at Roadrunner Tires so the Jeep can get aligned today. 

Hubby left in the white Jeep at 6:50AM. 

I closed the garage door. I put clean clothes in dryer. I started the dishwasher. 

I played with the dogs outside. PBJR and Tater slept on dog beds. I played BALL with Riley. I picked up more poop and took it to the garbage can.

I did not feel well today. Mostly rested on the sofa. 

I cleaned out the cat litter for a second time. It was stinking. All the cats had peed in the corner. It was one big stinky block of litter pee. I took the box out to the front corner of the house to clean it out with the hose. 

I walked down to the mailbox at NOON to get mail. 

Hubby got home at 3PM. The handyman guy and his wife got here at 3:15PM. Hubby asked why the guy's truck was outside. I said I did not know. Nobody had rung a doorbell. 

The guy and his wife came inside and looked at the hot tub. He told Hubby to have a smaller pump to make the water hotter. 

They left. 

So Hubby ordered a smaller pump on Amazon. 

I went outside to pick up more dog poo. For dinner, Hubby made himself left-over sloppy joe's from last week.

Hubby jumped into the hot tub at 7PM. I kept him company by standing outside. I played BALL withe Riley. PBJR came outside and slept on the bricks by the hot tub. Tater came out and laid down on the back patio. I had to pick up even MORE dog poo. Then I took it over to the garbage can. 

Hubby got out because it was cooler in the water. He dried off. I put the dirty laundry in the washer. I started the washer. I put more clean dishes away.

Hubby helped me make the bed. 

I had taken some Oxycodone pain killers because my neck was hurting, my left knee was cracking, and my left hand had a severe burning sensation in it. I do NOT want to have another injection of Steroid Prednisone put in my hand yet. I hate the pain of the injection. Such a pain in my ass to go down to the Doctor's office and have it done. Then I have to have them look at it, then schedule the appointment several days later to qualify for insurance.

I went to bed early at 8:30PM.

SUNRISE IN SUN CITY

FUEL JUNE 17 2026

Drove to Bunkerville to walk dogs in the soccer park. It was still dark. Nice sunrise pictures. Hubby had to drive with lights on car. At the park, we unloaded dogs and walked around. Not many birds out. We saw a HUGE CRANE on the light pole. It took off and flew to the opposite pole as we walked. Then it flew to the cellphone tower. We saw it had a mate. They sat together. 

HUGE CRANE ON LIGHT POLE

We took Riley's yellow ball and a golf ball so we could throw them for her. She got a lot of exercise doing that.

We sat on the sofa and watched TV. 

I did bookwork. I paid Overton Power bills. I filed the Nevada Sales Tax today.

Hubby talked on the phone to Plumber Butt who is somewhere back east visiting family.

Hubby left for the shop at 8:30AM in the white Jeep. HE FINALLY REPLACED THE JEEP BATTERY AFTER 2 YEARS OF IT NOT STARTING. OMG. Should have listened to me. 

The Jeep started wonderfully and he left. 

I went back inside and put laundry in dryer. I cleaned the counter & stove then started the dishwasher.

I ddi more bookwork.

I called the Vet at 9AM. She said they only have 2 Vets on staff as the others are out this week. I made an appointment for 9:30AM. 

I closed up the house. Left Riley & Tater at home. 

Loaded PBJR in FMF. We drove to the Vet on Virgin Valley Vet on Hardy Way. PBJR was panting as the A/C was not keeping up with the excessive heat already. 

I parked under the awnings and got PBJR out. We RAN inside over the hot asphalt. 

Then checked in and waited. Weighed the dog. She is at 67.2 pounds now!!!

PBJR saw another dog leaving, but after a few minutes, she calmed down. 

The Vet Tech that looks like Russell Crowe came to get us. He said somebody else told him that he looks familiar. We laughed. 

They took PBJR's vitals. Then the Vet Dr Shaffer came to see us. I told her that I was concerned that she is NOT losing weight as she gained 1.2 lbs from last time. 

PBJR (POTATO) AT THE VET OFFICE

The Vet took her in the back and obtained a urine sample. She said it is inflamed e-coli. A Urinary Tract Infection. She gave me antibiotics to give PBJR. Wants to see her in another week.

We left the office and at the front desk, I paid for the Mesquite City Licenses for the dogs along with the meds and vet visit. PBJR saw a huge orange cat walking thru the office and she wanted to go over to check it out. Also a guy checking out with dog food that had only 1/2 his nose. 

As we were walking out of the Vet building, SOMEBODY HAD PARKED RIGHT NEXT TO ME WITH THE WHOLE PARKING LOT AVAILABLE.

SOMEBODY PARKED NEXT TO ME AT THE VET OFFICE

I swear. If we parked on the moon, somebody would park next to us.

We left the office, I gave PBJR some water from the back seat of the car, and drove home. 

At home, I backed the FMF into the drive. Put up the window shade, put windows down a little. 

Unloaded PBJR and took her inside. Put the water bowl in the back again. 

At home, I put the dogs out for potty. Gave PBJR her antibiotic pill in some meat. I warmed up chicken/apple sausage for myself. 

I gave myself the Diet shot because Hubby had forgotten to do it again today when I asked. 

I was REALLY tired and wanted to take a nap.

I slept for a long time. When I woke up, I felt like I did not know where I was, what my name was, what day it was. Totally OUT OF IT. Awful feeling. Never felt like that even after Anesthesia. 

Hubby got home at 4PM. 

Hubby got into the hot tub at 6PM, but it was too cold for me. I picked up dog poo outside, watered plants. I think the transplant is dying. It is dry and the leaves are dry. I gave it extra water. A hummingbird came by when I was watering. I changed the hummingbird water. I gave the dogs fresh water. 

We watched TV for a while. I found a show called Raise The Titanic. Old actors. 

Put dogs out for potty. 

Went to bed at 10PM.

We gave the dogs fresh water and then loaded them into the FMF. I walked down to throw away garbage, wrapper from water bottles, water bottles, and poop bags. Hubby picked me up. The other rude women pulled into the parking lot as we were leaving.

We drove to the Info Center. There was a dirty strange looking homeless guy there that sat on the bench. He came from the back of the Center building. It was a mess in the back. We put the dogs on leashes and only stayed a few minutes because he was SMOKING and it stank. 

We gave the dogs fresh water and loaded them in the car. We drove home.

At home, Hubby made burrito. I made egg bites and sausage. 

The mail lady dropped off a package that I ordered. Some neat boots from Australia. 

Hubby watched YouTube TV until 8:30AM. Then he was going to leave in the Jeep, but the battery was dead again and he had to jump it. I walked down to get the mail. I brought the garbage can inside the fence because the Garbage guy had driven past just as I was walking to get mail.  

Hubby said he talked to the Landlord at the shop today to advise him we are not renewing the Lease for the shop at 120 Riverside #C. Byron's side. Hubby had already told Landlord that we were not renewing the Lease for 140 Riverside #C. 

I let the dogs out several times today. PBJR and Tater slept in the sunshine on dog beds and I played BALL with Riley. Picked up dog poo. Put fresh water in the dog bowls, put fresh water in the bird bowl.  I did not let the dogs stay outside too much because it is TOO HOT. 

120F degrees today. 

I put away clean clothes. I put away our clean comforter. I put away clean dishes. 

Hubby got home at 3:30PM. He drove the white Jeep around the back of the house to wave hello at the dogs. I hurried the dogs outside so they could see him.

Then the dogs greeted him at the garage door. Tater was too busy eating to say hello.

We let the dogs out again for potty. 

Hubby got the FMF out and we put the cats in our bedroom along with food, water, and toilet. 

Left dogs at home. We drove to the shop and picked up the return that Hubby had to take to the UPS Store. At the bottom of the hill, we had to turn around because Hubby forgot his returns on the counter. I came back inside the house to get them. 

We drove to the shop, picked up his transmission return, then we drove to the UPS Store and he backed into the parking place after waiting for 2 cars to leave (VERY SLOWLY). He returned the stuff and got a receipt. We left there and drove to Tractor Supply to pick up cat food. 

At TSC, we got a cart and bought 2 bags of cat food. We paid and left. 

Loaded cat food in car and drove home. 

At home, Hubby unloaded cat food. I let the dogs out for potty. All of them pooped twice. I had to pick it up. 

Hubby filled the hot tub up to the top. We could not sit in it as it was cooler, Hubby will have to turn on heater. 

PBJR kept going outside to pee and poop. Hubby was worried that her Thyroid pills are bad for her. I looked up side effects and it did not list excessive pooping or peeing.

Hubby watched YouTube videos.

We left our bedroom door open all night long, so Stuart slept on Hubby's chest and did not scratch at the door. 

PBJR did not want to get out of bed without help, so I had to help her out.

FUEL MONDAY  JUNE 15 2026

We drove to Bunkerville. We were early enough not to run into anybody else.

We walked around the soccer park twice. Tater pooped twice. Riley pooped. PBJR decided to poop in the middle of the field and I had run out of doggy bags because I picked up another dog's poop. I put my leash with the blue handle on the ground to mark where she pooped, and I had to walk quickly back to the car to get more bags. I came back and picked it up. Hubby waited at the half-way point for me. Dogs were still running around. Could not find Riley's golf ball in the field. We need to bring our box of golf balls to leave there. 

We gave the dogs fresh water. I walked over to dump the dog poo bags. Then Hubby drove me over to dump out the empty water bottles in the garbage can.

We drove to the Info Center. Tater barked at dogs that people were walking on the sidewalks. 

At the Info Center, there was a city worker cleaning out the garbage cans and putting out some chemical on the grass. 

We walked the dogs on leashes. 

The worker left and we let the dogs off the leashes. There were no birds to play with Riley.

We gave the dogs fresh water and loaded them into the car. Then we drove home.

At home, let the dogs out for potty. Hubby cleaned cat litter. I vacuumed and cleaned out the tray and sprayed Lysol.

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

I put clean clothes away. I put clean dishes away. I did bookwork. 

I took the dogs outside several times today for short periods because it was so hot. About 115F degrees. I played BALL with Riley for a few tosses before she would need to come inside and cool down. 

I watched TV. 

I made lunch for myself at 3PM. Peanut butter sandwich.

 SUNDAY

JUNE 14 2026

I was up at 5AM. I let the dogs out for potty. I was SO tired still and I had to sleep on the sofa. I asked Hubby to give me some more time to nap.

I finally got up from the sofa at 5:30AM. I took a hot shower and washed my hair. Conditioned it in the shower. 

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

I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. I cleaned the water bowls & filled all the water bowls with fresh water. 

I put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I put dirty clothes in the washer. 

Hubby had been up sitting on the sofa until 5:30AM when I got up. He put on his shoes. He closed the doors and locked them. Then he put harnesses on the dogs. 

We loaded the dogs into the FMF. 

We drove to Bunkerville. The rude women were there, so we instead drove to Mesquite for the Info Center. Nobody was there, so we let the dogs run wild. Put PBJR on a leash. We walked around twice. Gave the dogs fresh water. There were no birds for Riley to run after. But she ran with Tater. He was doing pretty well. 

Then we loaded the dogs up in the car and went to Falcon Ride Car Wash to drive the FMF thru the auto car wash. Some truck was in the far left one, so we drove thru the one on the right. 

Then we drove BACK out to Bunkerville as 1 hour had passed and the rude women were still there with the 3 dogs. 

We decided to drive home.

I made the bed when we got home. Hubby made himself some breakfast. He warmed up sausages and I made oatmeal for myself. PBJR laid down on the cool tile in the kitchen while Hubby was cooking.

PBJR IN KITCHEN NAPPING ON COOL TILE FLOOR

At 8:40, we put cats in our room, turned on DogTV and left the dogs at home. We drove to GS Nails and got our Pedicures with Andy. This will be the last time we see him as he is going to Vietnam to visit his family for 1 month. Won't see him again until July. I got Trophy Wife pink T-44 on my nails.

TROPHY WIFE PINK

We got back home and opened up the door, the cats came out of the bedroom. Let the dogs out for potty. 

I gave the dogs their supplements. I took a little nap. I was still tired. Slept for 1 hour.

Got in the hot tub later in the afternoon after Hubby had put the cleaner (Sean) in it. 

It was about 100F in the hot tub with no heater. Just ambient air heating it. We had to get out after 15-20 minutes because we were sweating.

We watched TV. I went outside several times for short periods of time with the dogs, played BALL with Riley.

We rented & watched The Imitation Game until 8PM. I prepped the bed for sleep. Put dog blankets over our comforter. 

Then we watched Hot Tub Time Machine until 10:30PM when we went to bed. 

Put the dogs outside for potty. Went to bed. I was already falling asleep while walking into the bedroom.

SATURDAY

JUNE 13 2026

At 4AM, it was still hot. 83F degrees. 

I was already up at 4AM, sweating on my pillow. I knew immediately that Hubby had left the A/C on 73F degrees. I got up and turned it down to 70F. The cooler air was refreshing. Then I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I started making a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself.

I got dressed. 

By 4:30, I woke Hubby up and let the dogs out for potty. 

I made the bed before we left. I went out and opened the rear driver's door so the dogs could load. I started the car so the A/C was cooling it down

I put the harnesses on the dogs and Hubby locked the doors. Hubby had gotten dressed and put his shoes on. 

We loaded the dogs. Left at 5AM. 

FUEL SATURDAY JUNE 13 2026

We drove to Bunkerville. Walked dogs there. Nobody was there. Tater pooped it was water. I could not pick it up. Riley pooped, but the poop disappeared and we could not find it. 

When we first entered the soccer field, there was a HUGE CRANE sitting on the light pole. He flew away afterwards.

HUGE CRANE ON LIGHT POLE IN SOCCER FIELD

Riley found her golf ball and I threw it as we walked across the park. PBJR was free dog and went WAY FAR in front of us. 

Riley lost her ball at the end of the walk by the trees. We could NOT FIND IT. 

Gave the dogs fresh water, then loaded them into the car. 

Drove to the Info Center to walk the dogs there. There was NOBODY there. We let them free-range all over. Kept PBJR on a leash. No birds for Riley to chase. Tater pooped water again. We are concerned about him. 

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

Drove to Beaver Dam where Hubby got fuel at TA Express. On the drive there via the I-15, the dogs settled down for naps.

NAPPING IN THE BACK SEAT ON THE DRIVE TO BEAVER DAM

The Del Taco there was CLOSED in the morning. They open at 9AM. Which is odd because they offer breakfast burritos. Hubby turned to go into Beaver Dam to see if the Burrito/Taco truck was there, but it was not. Instead, he turned around at the school and we drove back to the Interstate. Hubby suggested that the new Alfredo A's in Littlefield at the truck plaza was open, so I checked the hours. They were open. We drove to Littlefield where Hubby parked and went inside. I sat in the A/C with the dogs. PBJR decided to THROW herself into the front seat and sit against the steering wheel then closed her eyes and started snoring. 

ALFREDO A'S IN LITTLEFIELD FOR BURRITOS

Hubby came out with fresh, hot burritos. 

We drove back to Mesquite where Hubby had to go shopping at Smith's for milk. He also got bread, cupcakes, raisin bran, eggs, hawaiian buns, potato bread, and hummus (because they were out of guacamole). 

FUEL SATURDAY JUNE 13 SMITHS

At home, I unloaded the dogs. Hubby unloaded the car and put away groceries.

I picked up dog poop outside. Tater had diarrhea in two places and fortunately the hose could reach. So I sprayed those spots down. Then I watered the transplanted plant to the far left. I watered all the other plants. I watered the cactus that Oscar planted on the side of the house.

I refilled the dog water as there was dirt blown into it. 

I made hot tea when I got inside. I put dishes in the dishwasher. I got laundry out of the dryer and put it away. 

Hubby took the blower out front because we have seeds everywhere, but his battery died. I asked him to vacuum out my side of the car, too. 

I vacuumed the armoire and cleaned out the cat litter. Hubby had to vacuum my office because one of the cats had gotten a tea bag and tore into it. It was scattered all over the floor.

We ate the breakfast burritos Hubby went inside Alfredo As in Littlefield to purchase. Mine was full of potatoes. Very little sausage or cheese or egg. About 95% potatoes, 1% sausage and cheese and egg. And it was tasteless. 

Hubby vacuumed the rest of the house. 

I started another load of laundry. I ordered some ear pods and another striped summer sweater because my black and white one was ripped on the sleeve. I will try to repair it with sewing.

At 1PM, I asked Hubby if he wanted to go to the Pawn Shop in town to look at guns. He finally agreed and we took the Jeep.  Left the dogs at home. Locked Robert & Stuart in the front room, locked Rattler in our room. Gave all the cats food & water. 

We left the TV on a dog show program from YouTube.

Drove to The UPS Store and dropped off a return to Amazon for Hubby. Then we drove to the Pawn Shop on Mesquite Boulevard. They did not have any reasonably priced used guns. Hubby said they were asking new price for used guns.

Then we drove to the Thai Food Restaurant because Hubby kept whining about wanting to eat there. I was not hungry.

We ate there. We both had Lunch Specials - he had Kung Pao chicken while I had the Orange chicken. Both of us got sticky rice. Had egg drop soup. 

EGG DROP SOUP

We paid and went out to the Jeep - there was a tree trimming service that had a lift extended which the individual was cutting palm branches and dropping them. We rushed to get out of there before the 50 pound branches crashed down on the car. BUT THE STUPID JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN. 

NICK & HIS TRUCK COME TO OUR ASSISTANCE TO JUMP JEEP

We went back inside and Hubby called our mechanic, Nick to bring the jump box to start it. He said he would be there shortly. We waited and talked to the owner of the restaurant. The owner knew Coeur d'Alene which is where we said we were from; she had visited when her (now deceased) husband had attended a pharmaceutical convention at The CDA Resort in the 1990s and she bought several condos at Kellog Mountain Ski Resort when they first built. She said she wandered into the sales convention and they thought she was an "investor". She sold the condos after a few years and made quite a bit of $. 

Nick finally came and jump-started the Jeep and we got out of there quickly. Drove home. 

At home, we let the dogs out for potty. Let the cats out of the rooms. 

While outside later, playing BALL with Riley, the wind came up and dark clouds started forming around the area. Winds kept getting stronger. we brought our patio pillows inside the house. I brought the dog beds under the patio because it rained JUST A LITTLE BIT later. 

STORM CLOUDS OVER MESA

STORM CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS

MORE STORM CLOUDS OVER MOUNTAINS 

We watched TV and then went to bed at 9PM. We were exhausted.

JUNE 12 2026

Hubby was up at 2AM to take the dogs out for potty. He went potty. I got up and went potty. 

I was exhausted having just fallen asleep a few hours before. 

Then we went back to bed. 

Stuart started clawing at our door by 3AM. He continued for 1 hour. Then I opened the door. He crawled up my chest and then I pushed him off to the floor. 

Hubby got up at 4AM to let the dogs out again. Then I went on the sofa to sleep. Hubby had been snoring and Tater was pushing me out of bed. 

Hubby came to the sofa and sat. PBJR got up beside him. Then we slept until 6AM. 

We got up and made the bed. Got dressed. I went to the kitchen to make hot latte for hubby, hot tea for me. Hubby let the dogs out again. 

We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them in the FMF. Drove to Bunkerville, but because we were so late there were the two women who were playing ball with their dogs there at 6:17AM. 

FUEL FRIDAY JUNE 12 2026

We drove to the Info Center. There was only one homeless guy in the back of the building, so we walked the dogs around. 

Riley barked at birds and ran around. Tater was even running. Both of them pooped. I picked it up. 

TATER AT INFO CENTER IN THE GRASS

PBJR ENJOYS GRASS AT INFO CENTER

RILEY BARKING AT BIRDS

We loaded the dogs and drove back to Bunkerville, but there was another woman there walking her dog. We gave up and drove to Walmart where we drove thru the Falcon Ridge car wash. 

At home, we unloaded dogs. Put them in the back yard for potty. 

PBJR and I walked down to the mailbox to get mail. Then we walked around the back on the sidewalk to get home. She was quite tired by the time we got home.

Hubby made an Amazon return for his hot tub heater. 

Then he left for the shop at 11:15AM to meet some customers at the shop. 

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

I cut back the plant/tree/bush in the back yard. Got some scratches. I got the front finished, now just have to do the back. The dogs were out with me. I threw the BALL for Riley a while. I was dripping sweat by the time I got to a point where I finished cutting the branches on the plant. 

SCRATCHES ON MY LEFT ARM FROM CUTTING DEAD BRANCHES ON PLANT

Hubby got back at 12:30PM. He made himself some lunch. Then he sat down on the sofa to watch YouTube TV. More drag racing. I told him to call somebody to install a heater for the hot tub. 

Hubby had me go string the hose to the side patio and he filled the water. He put "Sean the Sheep" pool cleaner inside because the hose is dispensing DIRTY WATER. 

I had to go outside and pick up more dog poo. Then I played BALL with Riley for a while. She gets tired in the heat and just sits on the dog bed, refusing to play. 

I had Hubby get me a big black garbage bag so I could pick up the tiny branches that I had cut.

We waited until 4PM and it was full. Since it was so hot outside, the water was actually warm. Not hot, but tolerable for a short period. 

Hubby wanted the dogs to try the hot tub, so we put Riley inside first. Showed her how to climb up the stairs because she is tiny enough to fit on the narrow stairs. She paddled around, but was scared. We got her out and dried her off. Tater was next and splashed around A LOT. The windows were wet, I was wet. I put PBJR's harness on her and got her fat little body in the pool. She plunged down and sank right away. Hubby got her up. She was spitting out water. I thought maybe we drowned her. She got out. All the dogs raced around in the yard for a while and dried off. 

I changed into my bathing suit and fetched our pool noodles out of the garage. I got inside the hot tub and we floated for about 20 minutes. Then I got cold. The wind started blowing and the water was cooling off. 

I got out and immediately took a hot bath because I was freezing. 

After a while, I went outside with the dogs. Played BALL with Riley. The dogs were immediately tired and passed out on the sofas. 

We sat around watching TV for the rest of the night. I went to bed at 9:30PM after I made the bed and shut all the mini blinds. 

Hubby could not sleep, so he stayed up for a while. Just as I fell asleep, Riley & Tater got up and wanted out. Hubby put them outside. I went back to bed with PBJR. She was wheezing really bad. I thought maybe she had got some water in her lungs, but she was OK and settled down to sleep.

Hubby came to bed later.

JUNE 11 2026

Hubby was up at 2AM with the dogs and sat on the patio with them. 

I was up at 5AM as I had taken a pain killer last night. I slept late. 

I went to the kitchen and started making hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for me. 

I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. I put clean water in the cat bowls and dog bowls. 

I started the ice maker. 

I dressed. Hubby was up by now. I let the dogs out for potty. Hubby got dressed.

We put harnesses on the dogs. We loaded the dogs into the FMF and drove to Bunkerville. 

At Bunkerville, there was nobody around. The gate was closed this time. All the dogs went wild dog walk. I had forgotten to wear my boots. Left them at home. 

We walked around. Riley found the Golf Ball that had been there yesterday. I threw the Golf Ball for her while we walked. She ran after birds. 

Put out clean water in the dog bowl for the dogs. They drank. We loaded them into the car and drove to Mesquite. 

Hubby drove to the Info Center, but there was a USPS truck there with a guy that was getting out some sprayer, so we decided not to stay. 

We were going to stop and get the car washed, but I was hit with endometriosis cramps, so we went home instead. 

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

I cleaned the kitchen counter. Hubby put sausage and egg bites in the air fryer for me. He also put toast in for me. 

Hubby sharped knives with his kit that KRL bought him for Xmas many years ago.

Rattler decided to help.

I put away clean clothes. I did two more loads of laundry-dog blankets and towels. 

Then I started the dishwasher. I put away dishes later. 

I went outside several times to play BALL with Riley and so the dogs could potty.

It was a high of 103F degrees today.

Hubby got home at 2:30PM. He said it was too hot to stay at the shop any longer.

Hubby made toast with peanut butter for my dinner. I was not very hungry.

Hubby watched YouTube TV. We shared Story Time on my iPhone. Sat together on the sofa. 

I took the dogs out for potty again at 8:30PM. I threw a ball for Riley that landed in one of the tree/bushes and got stuck. It poked at my eyes when I tried to reach for it. 

We came inside after I refreshed the dog water outside. It was still 90F degrees.

Hubby was falling asleep on the sofa. He went to bed with the dogs at 9PM.

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the car. There were people in a black truck, then another car that pulled up by the Justice building and got their dogs out, we saw them open the gate at the road AND NOT CLOSE IT. They threw balls to their dogs. We left.

At home, Hubby vacuumed the car, put out the garbage can for collection. 

I went to pick up dog poo outside. There was over 20 loads. Most of them were diarrhea. PBJR and Riley pooped 2X more. These dogs are eating less and pooping more.

We gave the dogs water and loaded them in the car. As we were leaving, a pickup drove in with two dogs in the back. AZ license plates. 

We drove to the Info Center in Mesquite. We unloaded dogs, we thought there was somebody sleeping on the bench, but it turned out to be some sort of tote that was left there. We kept Tater and PBJR on leashes and walked around.

Hubby put fans on the rooms so the carpet would dry. 

We left the dogs and cats at home. Could not lock cats in our room as it was still drying, so we left them out. Drove to Walmart to return Rug Doctor machine. 

Then we did some more shopping of food we had forgotten yesterday - potato bread, honey, shredded cheese. I got some more conditioner, but not the type I was looking for. Will have to order that online.

Hubby ran into several customers from the shop. One was wearing our t-shirt.
