SATURDAY / SEPTEMBER 13 / PICK UP DOG POO / NO SLEEP / BOAT /SOCIAL SECURITY LETTERS

SATURDAY

SEPTEMBER 13 2025

Hubby was up at 2AM with the dogs. 

Hubby was up again at 5AM with the dogs. He stayed on the sofa and slept.

I was up at 6:45AM. 

I made the bed and went to the kitchen to make a hot latte for Hubby, hot tea & Nanogreens for myself.

I did not want breakfast as my tummy was bloated & upset.

Hubby made himself a burrito. He fed the dogs egg breakfast finally. 

Put food out on patio for PBJR and Tater. I helped feed Riley, finally had to put leftover cat tuna in Riley's food to get her to eat. 

I picked up a TON of dog POOP (mostly ploppies) in the back yard. Finally had to go get an Amazon box from the garage to get it all. They also pooped on the metal of the hammock. Hubby had to get the hose out and clean that off. While we were doing that, PBJR peed on the patio and Hubby had to hose that off, too.

We finally came inside. Hubby watched automotive shows on YouTube while I did bookwork in the office.

I paid Utility bills with OPD5. 

We loaded dogs into a CLEAN FMF and drove to the shop. Oscar was there. He had all the vehicles out in the parking lot. 

Stopped at Flying J to get fuel, talked to Ralph. He has lost 65+ pounds on GLP-1 drugs. 

Then we drove to USPS and I mailed certified letters to Social Security Admin offices in St George and North Las Vegas. 

We took the I-15 to Littlefield then got off on the old highway 91 north to Gunlock Reservoir.

Got the boat unloaded, put dogs on boat. 

It was hot in the boat and I put out the umbrella until Hubby parked the car and walked back. Gave the dogs LOTS of water. They were panting.

We got going in the boat and the breeze really helped. We boated over to a beach.

But the water had gone down a significant amount of feet and exposed sandy beach that was not solid. We all sank in the sand. Tried to walk down a little ways to another beach, but it was worse. I lost my shoes, black sewage mud. Gross. It stank. 

We walked back. Hubby took the jet boat out further, but had to retrieve his lost life-jacket. 

PBJR SWIMMING

RILEY WADING

DOGS PLAYING IN WATER

PBJR CAPTAIN OF BOAT

PBJR WADES/RILEY SWIMS GUNLOCK RESERVOIR

Had to wait quite a while after coming back from the beach as at 3PM, all the fishing boats came back and docked. They were doing a Fishing Tournament and brought back all their fish (catch and release). It took about 30 minutes before we could dock and unload. Then all the fishing idiots were lying on their bellies, blocking the dock exit. Fucking rude assholes.

We go the dogs unloaded. Tater almost lost his balance getting off as the boat started to pull away from the dock. The cleats on their dock are too far apart to be useful. 

Walked the dogs up the road and to the car. Idiot fishing men standing around staring everywhere. 

Put dogs in car. 

Idiot California car driving VERY slowly thru parking lot. We had to drive past them because they had their mouths open.

Left the Reservoir and drove back to Littlefield. 

Pulled over alongside the highway because I had to make sure the A/C vents were open in the back of the car (after detailer cleaned). Because the dogs were all panting too much and they should have cooled off by now... The vents WERE open.

PBJR started getting nervous. Stood on the dash. We pulled over at the elementary school in Littlefield. All the dogs peed. Riley pooped. I cleaned it up.

PBJR GOING CRAZY BECAUSE SHE HAS TO PEE!!!!!

We continued to drive. Hubby pulled in at Truck Stop to get a drink and lottery tickets, but he came out because he could not find my green tea. He did NOT buy lottery tickets.

We drove back to Mesquite and stopped at Wendy's (I had not eaten at all today). Hubby parked at the gas and walked inside to get burgers.

He came outside. We drove home. PBJR was getting nervous again and would not settle.

When we got home, I hustled the dogs inside. Hubby brought some of the stuff from the car. 

PBJR RAN TO THE BACK DOOR. She ran outside and peed 4 times. Then she pooped a HUGE load of poo. Poor little dog. Had to hold it that long...

I took a hot bath. EVERYTHING HURT. I did too much. I took several Tylenol.

Hubby gave the dogs bathes. I helped dry them .

I forgot that I had filled the dog water outside and it ran over for 1 hour. I finally went outside and realized it was still running. I turned it off.

Then I fell asleep for 3 hours on the sofa. 

I woke up at 8PM. 

We watched TV. Went outside and sat for a while.

Dosed all the dogs with Melatonin supplements. (it did not help them sleep-Hubby woke up with them at 1AM)

Then we went to bed at 11PM.
