Trouble

There's nothing but trouble with so many dogs. Good trouble. In other words, there is never a dull minute.

Went to appointment in CDA on THURSDAY; stopped at Michaels, Jo-Ann Fabrics. Ate at Taco Bell in Post Falls. Also stopped for groceries at Super One in Rathdrum. They had sale on eggs. 48 cents-first one only.

Dark clouds in sky when we returned.

Greg worked in the shop til 10PM with Nick and Bud the dog. Bud is a fantastic dog. Very responsive to his owner; very intelligent. Nick said that he worked with him a lot & the dog is smarter than his Boxers. Bud is a Blue Heeler.

The dogs barked at deer again. We have daily Antler Animal visitors now. Hubby also said that a moose walked through the back of the property & that was what Bravo was barking at later. . .

FRIDAY – We took Angus down to Farragut Park for a walk before dropping her off for surgery. Instead of leaving on time, Greg was chafing to go, so we left early and had over an hour before the poor dog needed to be checked into the doctor. Picked up lattes at our regular joint. Dropped off garbage at dump. Took Angus to vet for her spaying at 8:05. The day was fantastic & the views were awesome at the park. I love living here. When it doesn't rain.

I ran into town at 9:30; waited until 11:00 to get my nails done as they were already backed up; Finished at 12:00 - then picked up bacon cheeseburgers for the dogs at Wendys.

Greg worked in the shop all day. Picked Angus up at 3PM; she had already thrown up once after surgery. She threw up two more times at home. Very listless.

I mowed the dog area; put vinegar on all my weeds to kill them (I'm going green-see http://www.vinegartips.com/) and got Angus' info stored on the internet for her Microchip. Then had to wash everything she had thrown up on. All of the dogs are now legal with rabies vaccination, shots, County tags, spaying/neutering & microchipping! Yippee!

Got the AKC & CKC paperwork for the dogs in the mail today- all properly named & filed.

Around 9:15PM our deer friend came ambling by - Bravo was barking at it the entire time. We watched as he was walking like he was severely depressed-all by himself. I told the hubby that when I returned from getting my nails done in town this morning, I had driven past the remains of a very bloody deer crash about 2 miles from our home. Not thinking that it was OUR deer, but it must have been. How very sad.
