Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

Wow! Very pretty Collie. Fingers crossed

Thank you for good wishes! He’s got some problems, being 9 mo old with NO training, not housebroke, and having been outside 24/7 which isn’t a good thing for my needs. Price is right, but we are limited to # of dogs and I can’t compromise like I did with Fen. I’m concerned it will be hard to say no, if I need to

Made it out to feed rabids and nuggets. Doe-Doe kindled. I didn’t count yet, figured I could do that this afternoon. For now I am taking a nap.

Arranged for a transporter to bring the LGD puppy here from Colorado. It was cheaper than the gas for us driving to get him, never mind food and motels. We will drive the 3 hr to Winnemucca to pick him up. Hopefully its a clear day.

Now you need sheep!

Now you need sheep!

I do!! First I-need $ to buy them, and I am not allowed to use back or side pasture anymore , but there’s plenty of feed in alley. Problem is I can’t sneak any home as I can no longer drive myself to town. At least he will keep predators away from chickens, calves and rabbits and deter cougars while I finagle some. And he will be able to help me keep from falling while doing chores, once he matures…so much depends on my health, though judging from past week, it’s not looking that good

(He’s front and center)

He’s a handsome pup!

Doing recognition work with Fen this morning. He’s super food motivated but so easily distracted!
We worked on Bible/Meds/Neckpillow this morning. He cracks me up because he cheats . He was keeping one foot on center item at all times and when it didn’t get the result he wanted he would reach over with his other paw to touch different item He’s smart, but devious smart haha! Such a turd! But he’s found my phone for me out on the ranch when it fell out of my pocket, he’s found my kindle I constantly misplace around the house, and having him bring my meds and Bible will be really helpful as it’s easy for me to forget both. I’d have him do my meds like Heath did, but he’d probably OD me

 

[peteyfoozer]

Low grade fever going, and of course back pain. Feeling really crummy. Wonder if it’s all from UTI. So unhappy meds didn’t get here Fri. Now soonest will be Wednesday. Mail should have just gone from Burns, PO to Princeton PO 20 mi away but of course , no. I stead it goes 9-10 hr away to Portland first, then makes it to Princeton at some pount on its way back
I miss Heathen. I could really use his warmth and his comforting right now…I wonder where Fen is.
The collie is on ranch. Wish I was strong enough to go check him out. Probably I won’t be strong enough to get him through all his problems and lack of any training or nurturing.
I think I would have to get better to die…

 

[Baymule]

I’m so sorry. Sending you an online hug.

Thanks, @Baymule sorry to be such a whiner
