Welcome and thank you Slab.
Summertime in Micanopy, Florida is hot and steamy like the tropics. June, July, August and September require the locals to either get tough or stay in the kitchen. In the air conditioning.
Tomorrow is Saturday and I get to finish up the wallpapering job. I suppose it could be worse. The wall could be outside surrounded by screaming mosquitoes and yellow flies. I almost forgot chiggers. Wouldn’t want to just pass them by. I have two chigger bites that are still itching after a month or more. Serious parasites.
The puppy is doing much better now that she no longer has the run of the house during the day while we are away. She shredded two antique chairs and did some chewing on the legs of another. Her mother shrieked when she saw the stuffing everywhere. The pup just couldn’t have been more excited to see her as well. I felt sorry for both of them. Now she spends her days outside. At first we were concerned she might have issues, but when we get home and let her in, she goes right back out. Doesn’t seem to mind the heat.
We just have to be patient and wait for her to grow out of this destructive phase. Once she stops chewing stuff, she gets to use the doggie door while we are away. She no longer does that puppy bite stuff. I have noticed a remarkable change in her going from lunatic monster to almost a regular dog. Rescues can be a challenge we were told. We are sticking with her and work with her several evenings each week on obedience. Which is actually spelled puppy play time wants a snack time.
Work is the scourge of the drinking class.
I will probably end up purchasing a full size hot tub for the wife. She has been having a blast with the inflatable she got for Christmas. I very carefully explained that she would be the one to maintain the water quality, as I was not gonna do that. So far I have been maintaining the water quality…… waiting for her to take those duties over. Oh well, I buy all the groceries, do all the cooking and the dishes most of the time. Cut the grass, take out the trash, did I mention hang wallpaper ?
Anyways my battery is low and I got to go.
