Now that I've talked about how awesome today is, let's talk about how not awesome Monday and Tuesday were. I think instead of writing detail by grueling detail, I'll just list the facts.
- I woke up to the smell of death on the back porch.
- The dogs killed another possum.
- On the bright side, I found out that animal control will dispose of the bodies.
- Maggie got loose as the dog catcher pulled up.
- Archer tried to follow and yanked me to the ground, leaving me lying in the front yard holding on tight to his leash with a sore knee and hand.
- Everyone made it to the backyard minus a possum.
- Fleas.
- Archer made it to his early vet appointment, with the vet asking where I found the chicken costume for a lab.
- Maggie made it to her afternoon vet appointment, which is one of her favorite places.
- I noticed one of the dogs punctured the driver's seat in my car.
- I had to basically wrestle both dogs to get them to take their flea/heartworm meds, ending with me clamping their mouths shut while blowing in their faces.
- Several times during all of that the dogs got loose in the house.
- And then there's the cats, just being cats.
I really need to get that fence wire back up and running as well as the collars to go with.
And in case you can't make out what is going on here, I've blown it up making it bigger but blurrier. They want me to feel sorry for them and let them out.
I need this shirt but I also need a dog version. It applies to all the animals here.
Thinking about it all is bringing on a headache. I'm stopping while I'm ahead and maybe make this Coke a little more useful by washing down a headache remedy of some sort.
