Countdown

We keep hyping Baby B; telling him that Mommy&Daddy are coming home soon. That he will be able to see Mommy again - and meet his new Daddy.

Bravo has an appointment on July 1 at the Doggie Beauty Parlor for "THE WORKS" so he will be especially handsome to greet his parents. Maybe a red bow in his hair? Maybe not.

After hubby came home on WEDNESDAY afternoon, we ran up to Sandpoint to pick up our riding lawnmower. When Greg unloaded it from the trailer, he took off mowing for a while. However, the black skies moved in, and the heavens let loose. He drove the mower up to the garage & yelled for me to open the door. After putting said mower away, he ran inside, drenched to the bone and rested on the couch for the balance of the night - unable to work as it was raining & lightning so hard!

This early THURSDAY morning, Angus & I went for a walk. She was panting & hot by the end of it, but she did make almost 2 miles. I was very proud of her. Angus - the Saint Bernard - ("she's going to be a big dog") does VERY well on the leash by herself (without the other dogs).

Got the Anxiety & Stress tablets for Harriet - the Boxer. Found a calming collar for canines that releases pheromones - it is reputed to work by many customers. Also contacted our vet and he recommended it. She tried to bite hubby the other day - Harriet is getting worse. We can't take her out in public as she is so nervous. If she is on the leash, alone with us - then she is OK. But if we introduce anybody or anything else to her, she goes spastic.

When visitors come by the house, she goes nuclear and almost foams at the mouth. It is horrible. She didn't used to react this way only 2 months ago.

I got the new bird feeders installed, watered some plants, picked up doggie-poo, vacuumed the truck (again), and made blueberry muffins for hubby. Altogether, a good day.

Hubby had to pick up the kid and his mowing equipment. The kid is going to be mowing all our extraneous area beyond the house & shop. So it won't look so shaggy. With all the rain, it appears that we are living in the Northwest Rainforest!
