Wednesday - During the day, it was cloudy & cooler. I worked on cleaning the house. I frosted the rest of the cupcakes that I had made. Hubby brought home milk when he finally got home at 8PM. There are several employees at work scheduled off for this 4th of July week vacation. So he had to cover over in Kellogg.
He worked in shop til late. Angus was surprised by a bee that wandered into the house. We had to catch it and release it outside.


Thursday - I cleaned up dog poo in the back yard. It takes a lot longer as there is so much area to cover. And the dogs love to hide their poo. Also cleaned up Isabelle's poo in front yard. Watered plants as it has not rained yet. Blueberries are getting bigger & healthier. Bumble bees are everywhere. Ants are also really bad out on the front deck.

Hubby came home late again 7PM. He ran down to the shop to work for a while, then came back and said he wanted me to drive into CDA with him to pick up bolts. We stopped at Home Depot (where Bud & Bit saw a massive black Great Dane in the back of a pickup) and then a cute little brownish PitBull in a car next to us.

We drove over to Lowe's to find more bolts, then returned the other stuff to Home Depot. Stopped at Wendy's to get burgers for #3 and Tim in the shop. Hubby ate his in the truck while I drove home. On Hwy 54 just west of Clagstone I narrowly avoided a dog hit in the road. It was awful. It looked like it had exploded. Poor little thing. Took Bud & Bit home and gave burgers to the other dogs. Then I took the truck down with hubby so he could get the poor dog off to the side of the road. There was blood for almost 1/2 a mile it had been hit so bad & repeatedly. Hubby got the leash with tags off the dog. I called the owners. The wife was in Montana and contacted her husband who lived just about a mile from where the dog had been hit. He said that the dog was very old and totally blind. It had escaped the yard. So very sad. I am still shaking from thinking about it.

I know that we have lost a few dogs & cats to the Hwy. Now with the extensive fence in the backyard, they are safe to roam & wander to their hearts' content. Hopefully the Hwy will not take anymore pets.
