Catch Up Ketchup

On Friday after I biked 18 miles, went home to the puppies and took them for walks.

I took 'Lil Bit into the doctor on Wednesday. Forgot to tell everybody that he weighs 6.9 pounds. Dr. Mike checked him out thoroughly, announcing him totally fit. Lungs are fine, heart is fine, eyes are fine. We also got his AKC ID tag in the mail on the same day. We still have to get his rabies shot, get him fixed, then he can be officially a Kootenai County dog!

Had gotten my vacuum cleaner sucky-dealy and proceeded to clean the house from top to bottom. Dusted, vacuumed, wiped, tidied, washed, dried & shined. It looks (and smells) much better.

Hubby cleaned up more cars at his shop after I threw a shit-fit about so many vehicles down there. I threatened to call the county in order for him to clean it up. He is steadily working on it now.

It was well over 100F degrees on Friday, but the pups and I stayed in the air-conditioning. You could tell they were just too hot to do anything.

Hubby had purchased new shoes at Wally-World (a BIG mistake-I warned him) and after wearing them all day, he ended up with a chemical burn on his foot. Hmmm. Time to sue?

We got up at 6AM on Saturday and took Bravo & 'Lil Bit so that hubby could go to Spoky-Jo to pick up a transmission & rear-end from Alan.

Called the kids while we enroute, and met them at IHOP (which was too busy), Waffle House (which had been closed) and Shari's-wherein we had a great late breakfast. Also went to Harbor Freight & picked up a fountain for the pond.

Stopped at Wally-World to pick up a new cell phone for Matt. He & K decided that it would be make more sense to add him to our plan as K is already on it. He got a Env-3 Blue.

Followed the kids home after getting Wendy's cheeseburgers for the other puppies. Saw a deer near Silver Meadows crossing the road.

Greg was too tired after all the driving to do anything, plus the temps were well over 100F again! His foot was bothering so much he could barely walk, so he kicked back & took a nap in his easy chair. I was overwhelmed with dizziness, so took a few pills & hit the hay.

However, some guy came and bought Super Swampers - so hubby DID make some money today even though he was resting on his butt!

My bestest son-in-law in the whole world mowed our lawn on the riding lawn mower. We started calling him Manual Labor because he was working so hard. K set up his new phone that we had picked up at Wally-World (K is as obsessed with that store as anybody else-they just suck you in!)

Had tamales & chicken flautas for dinner along with chips & guacamole. Yum.

Around 11PM, we went out to the fire-pit for a bonfire along with S'mores. More yum. Except for the neighbors' loud music, it was an enjoyable time. Bravo wandered around in the dark, keeping us company.

Went to bed late after 12:30PM.

Sunday we got up early & took garbage to the dump. Got lattes, then came home. As hubby was unloading Isabelle, Bravo & Harriet, all the dogs bolted out of the truck to run away. Bravo almost got hit on the highway when he followed Harriet blindly across the road. As Kelsey got Isabelle and brought her inside, I drove the truck across the road to pick up the dogs. They saw me coming, and jumped happily into the vehicle! I scolded them for being "bad" dogs.

Put my new fountain pump into the pond; added more rocks; Matt-a-potamus mowed the dog area, K cleaned their car; then the kids went down to the park with Bravo.

Matt went to visit with his mom while KRN chatted with us in the air conditioned house. Hubby cut his hair with a cute mohawk piece in the back! Too adorable.

Kelsey craves a milkshake; we drive to Little Town Market to have Cookies & Cream milkshakes. I got the Birthday Cake milkshake. K brought a ice cream concoction back for Matt. Had dinner when Matt arrived home - more weiners & burgers & beans. Fresh onions. Double yum.

M&K went home around 7PM; hubby and I played with the puppies for a while after they left.
