Clean Car

Stopped at Harmon's to get lunch; they had no chocolate cakes with white frosting "that is a special order item!"

So we drove to the closest Smith's and found a brand new one in North St George. It had wide aisles, lots of retail items including clothing. We picked up a chocolate cake with cream filling there and had the baker put on "Happy Birthday Dee" for us in pink frosting.

Then we drove to get our nails done at Star Nails. The technicians were rude; the water was luke-warm. The hot rocks were cold, the technician barely touched me for the massage & cream; then the hot towels were cold. It was very disappointing. The polish on my toes already chipped after 1 day and it looks sloppy. Not going back!

Pedicure

Went back home to Mesquite, NV.  Unloaded groceries.

I wrapped Dee's presents.

Hubby took the mail keys in case we needed to get mail after BINGO.

We raced to the Community Center to get there before Dee & John. We parked in front and took the cake & presents inside. (This was all John's idea).

Dee was surprised to see them, but she did not want to open the presents or eat the cake there. She invited us to come back to their place afterwards.

Dee at Bingo

However, during the Bingo, I got a text from Liz who had the puppy that we could come there tonight to pick up the dog.

TSANOS the Blue Nose Pitbull

So after Bingo, we made our apologies, helped carry presents & cake back out to John's car. Kerry and Shauna walked by us because they were parked in the same area. There were some bugs hanging out in a swarm by the cars.

We sat out on the patio with him & Wilson until Midnight. It got cold, so I covered hubby up with a blanket and I went to bed. Robert slept with me that night. Rattler hid away.


The people had never taken him outside and he was trained on puppy pads or newspaper. So he pooped & peed 4 times in the house that night. Hubby slept on the sofa while the puppy slept on a dog bed beside him. Hubby kept his hand on him all night long.

DREAM ABOUT THE DEAD

FRIDAY
3-8-2019

I woke up with pain again at 2AM. I took some Pepto Bismol and went to sleep on the sofa as it was too hot in our room. I should have turned on the fan, but did not think about it.

Let Wilson out to go potty. Then I heard his scratching at the door and let him inside.

I fell back asleep and either died, or had a very vivid dream about Bud visiting at the house here in Nevada. I played with him for quite a while in our living room. Then I saw my mother at the sink in the kitchen. We talked quite a while and I told her everything was going on. She seemed to know already. It seemed so real, as if  I were dead too. I could not wake myself up from the dream and just resigned myself to being dead.

I thought it odd that I did not dream about Harriet, Lil Bit, Zeus, or Isabelle. They have all passed away, too.

I woke up at 3AM. Went back to sleep again on the sofa.

Woke up at 6:00AM when Wilson wanted to go outside again.

I called hubby and talked to him again.

Then I made eggs for Wilson. He had no left-overs today!

Got up at 6AM when hubby called. I talked to him for a while.

I made Wilson breakfast. I skipped the latte this morning because my stomach was still not feeling good.

I started laundry. Started dishes.

Vacuumed cat litter from floor. Vacuumed bedroom. Put cat litter & dog poo out in dumpster.

Hubby called again at 10AM to let me know they were at the Vet's office. Ben had quit eating last night and was listless.

Hubby called at 10:40 to tell me the Vet had gone in the back room with Ben to insert the I.V. Then they came back. It took an awful long time for Ben to go down, and he was whimpering in the background of the call. It never took our other dogs long to go down, mere seconds. I think I want to complain to our regular vet about this idiot not using enough medicine.

They did confirm that he had bone cancer that was evident in the limping. Poor little dog.

Ben 9/3/2012-3/7/2019

It has been difficult going thru the rest of the day by myself. I keep crying. Wilson is sitting outside in the sunshine on his dog bed, probably waiting for Ben to return...

Woke up at 5:50AM. Got up and let Wilson out for potty.

I made eggs for Wilson. He had leftovers that I put in the fridge for tomorrow.

Robert supervised while I made eggs.

Hubby called and talked to him. He & Ben slept OK. They got breakfast from the LaQuinta, then got on the road.

I ordered Starbucks for him when we got to Idaho Falls. A latte for him & some Sous Vide Egg Bites for Ben.

I talked to hubby all day long, so it was like I was in the car with him!

In Utah

I took a nap at NOON. Wilson was outside, under the patio taking a nap on the dog bed.

I got up at 2:15PM. Did not get much sleep last night.

Gave Wilson some ham.

Hubby got inside Idaho at 2:45PM.

 Dillon, MT

Missoula, MT

Lookout Pass, Idaho

By 3:45PM, hubby was in Smelterville, Idaho.

I made snacks and gave Wilson some ham.

Made some new Chicken Salad. Need to pick up celery.

Took a bath at 6:30PM.

Ordered Joint Pills & Cat food from Chewy.

I watched TV until 9:30PM, then went to bed. However, I was not feeling well. Strange feeling from my shoulder, down my back, all the way to my hips were hurting.

I got up at 3AM and took a hot bath. Then watched Twilight Zone on tv for a while. Went back to bed at 4AM.
