Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Day 2 of helping with chores... it sure wears me out but hopefully kids appreciate me making the effort. Yesterday DS and I did get the cages cleaned. Maybe today I'll not take a nap, we'll see.
DH still down with a fever, he's getting disheartened.
Kids are doing school, think I'll wash our sheets, they're pretty stinky with everyone being sick.

I pray for full recovery for y’all. Just don’t try to do too much too soon. Big hugs.

Coffee is ready. Going for my second cup. Got another 20 pounds of chicken leg quarters to can today for the dogs. Plus rice and green beans! DH makes a big deal out of feeding the dogs. That’s fine, he can be the dog chef. Another day in the kitchen!

Dogs will almost always tell you your cooking is great. I don't blame him.

No chores this morning, took DH to get a "test" so he can continue being off work. I have ivermectin... but he won't take it... oh well. They're saying a good 10 days of being sick, he's at day 5, I'm at day 8. Guessing if his test is positive we'll be staying home for another week. I don't mind but the kids are definitely needing to get out. They've been playing outside and swimming in the pool after their schoolwork is done. We're watching way too much tv.

Check out Project Gutenberg. It filled many of my childhood hours and is free.

Sitting down in recliner with my feet up. Got second batch of chicken in the pressure canner. Waiting for it to steam out the vent so I can drop the weight on it, then wait for it to get up to pressure, then time it for 1 1/2 hours.
I peeled a bunch more pears, cored and quartered. Blanched in a light syrup, put 9 quarts and 1 pint in the freezer to make pies with.

Had to break up a dog fight this morning. Trip always runs down the driveway and jumps into pasture #1 to run the fence, barking at truck monsters. Sentry has always gotten along with Trip—until this morning. I was in the feed shed and heard the fight. I ran into the pasture, picked up a stick, screaming and hitting both dogs. They broke apart several times, but Sentry attacked again. I was trying to keep Sentry off, trying to get Trip out the gate and Trip wanted to run from me because I was waving the stick at Sentry. Finally got Trip out the gate, he limped to a shady spot and flopped down in the dirt. Sentry was immensely pleased with himself.

I checked Trip over, no puncture marks but his foot was hurt. Sentry is half the size and weight of Trip, but maybe 10 times more savage.

Tomorrow a hot wire goes up to keep Trip out.

Wonder what got into them.

Sentry doesn’t get along with Carson, our male big black Labrador/Great Dane cross. He is also extremely protective of me. I am very careful when other people are around. I don’t let people in his pasture.

But the fight was with Trip!

We all have a bad attitude sometimes. Maybe it was his day for one.

Just catching up on everyone. Long 12 hrs at work and I'm heading to bed!

Good morning y’all. Coffee is ready. Another hot day. I’ve got 28 quart jars of dog food chicken and rice canned. No canning today! Need to get the hot wire situation rectified, got one up, but it’s not working. The charger is too weak for the distance, so I disconnected it from the front and side pasture. I have a stronger one I’m going to hook up. Mr Trip is going to get a cooking lesson in fence jumping. As in, it will fry his hair if he touches it.
