Hubby was up at 2AM to take the dogs out for potty. He went potty. I got up and went potty.
I was exhausted having just fallen asleep a few hours before.
Then we went back to bed.
Stuart started clawing at our door by 3AM. He continued for 1 hour. Then I opened the door. He crawled up my chest and then I pushed him off to the floor.
Hubby got up at 4AM to let the dogs out again. Then I went on the sofa to sleep. Hubby had been snoring and Tater was pushing me out of bed.
Hubby came to the sofa and sat. PBJR got up beside him. Then we slept until 6AM.
We got up and made the bed. Got dressed. I went to the kitchen to make hot latte for hubby, hot tea for me. Hubby let the dogs out again.
We put harnesses on the dogs and loaded them in the FMF. Drove to Bunkerville, but because we were so late there were the two women who were playing ball with their dogs there at 6:17AM.
FUEL FRIDAY JUNE 12 2026
We drove to the Info Center. There was only one homeless guy in the back of the building, so we walked the dogs around.
Riley barked at birds and ran around. Tater was even running. Both of them pooped. I picked it up.

RILEY BARKING AT BIRDS
We loaded the dogs and drove back to Bunkerville, but there was another woman there walking her dog. We gave up and drove to Walmart where we drove thru the Falcon Ridge car wash.
At home, we unloaded dogs. Put them in the back yard for potty.
PBJR and I walked down to the mailbox to get mail. Then we walked around the back on the sidewalk to get home. She was quite tired by the time we got home.
Hubby made an Amazon return for his hot tub heater.
Then he left for the shop at 11:15AM to meet some customers at the shop.
I put away clean clothes. I washed dishes. I put away clean dishes.
I cut back the plant/tree/bush in the back yard. Got some scratches. I got the front finished, now just have to do the back. The dogs were out with me. I threw the BALL for Riley a while. I was dripping sweat by the time I got to a point where I finished cutting the branches on the plant.

Hubby got back at 12:30PM. He made himself some lunch. Then he sat down on the sofa to watch YouTube TV. More drag racing. I told him to call somebody to install a heater for the hot tub.
Hubby had me go string the hose to the side patio and he filled the water. He put "Sean the Sheep" pool cleaner inside because the hose is dispensing DIRTY WATER.
I had to go outside and pick up more dog poo. Then I played BALL with Riley for a while. She gets tired in the heat and just sits on the dog bed, refusing to play.
I had Hubby get me a big black garbage bag so I could pick up the tiny branches that I had cut.
We waited until 4PM and it was full. Since it was so hot outside, the water was actually warm. Not hot, but tolerable for a short period.
Hubby wanted the dogs to try the hot tub, so we put Riley inside first. Showed her how to climb up the stairs because she is tiny enough to fit on the narrow stairs. She paddled around, but was scared. We got her out and dried her off. Tater was next and splashed around A LOT. The windows were wet, I was wet. I put PBJR's harness on her and got her fat little body in the pool. She plunged down and sank right away. Hubby got her up. She was spitting out water. I thought maybe we drowned her. She got out. All the dogs raced around in the yard for a while and dried off.
I changed into my bathing suit and fetched our pool noodles out of the garage. I got inside the hot tub and we floated for about 20 minutes. Then I got cold. The wind started blowing and the water was cooling off.
I got out and immediately took a hot bath because I was freezing.
After a while, I went outside with the dogs. Played BALL with Riley. The dogs were immediately tired and passed out on the sofas.
We sat around watching TV for the rest of the night. I went to bed at 9:30PM after I made the bed and shut all the mini blinds.
Hubby could not sleep, so he stayed up for a while. Just as I fell asleep, Riley & Tater got up and wanted out. Hubby put them outside. I went back to bed with PBJR. She was wheezing really bad. I thought maybe she had got some water in her lungs, but she was OK and settled down to sleep.
Hubby came to bed later.
