I always like your pictures. I like the new gate and I am sure you do too. I can not wait to see your outdoor living room next time I am down there.

It rained alllll around us yesterday, but it was like I live in a 'dry county' ( 
- Southerners will get that... ) or we had an umbrella over us. :/
I shoulda got up and watered everything and washed the jeeps....then it woulda rained.
Instead I got up, covered myself from head to toe, and pulled the poison ivy out of the jungle bed. I also trimmed all the indeterminate tomatoes, made new address labels, washed out 20 milk jugs, did laundry, and trimmed some shrubs in the yard.
The plan was to wear myself out so I could fall asleep by 8pm since I had to get up early this mornin' for work.
My plans never work out....
Saturday we're taking the Tomato to a town an hr. away for a benefit ride for the humane society there (I have a friend who runs it).
My luck DH will win the Harley they're raffling.....
Hoping it's not too hot to take Fiddles, don't want him to have any more seizures....but you're supposed to bring your pet / dogs w/ you. All of mine are black, and will get hot in an open vehicle at low speeds.
Ah well....I'm rambling now to avoid getting ready to go....better hush. Have a great day.

I bought my dogs one of those bandana cooly things. You soak it in water and then the gel plumps up that is in it. I tie it around their necks and it really works! I got the one for humans in the camping section at wallyworld. Fiddles needs one of those, so he can look cool and stay cool.

Mine fits perfectly on my Boston Terriers and they are tiny tots too.Roll farms said:Hmmm....At 6#, I wonder if it would completely cover him?

It isn't like a full size bandana but more like a tube like thing, it really works. You could all get one and be real stylish. Trying to find a picture. It stays cool and the purpose is to keep the circulating blood cooler by tying it around the neck area. They make some specifically for dogs but I found them cheaper in the human departments.Kinda like this one:

Ohhh, I getcha.
I'll have to look for one if I get a chance, otherwise DH is saying Fids can't go. He's such a protective papa.
In other news....yesterday....I came home from work, and took a nap. It was glorious.
Then when dh got home we had to go trim Fiddle's little sister, who lives near my MIL. She weighs 2.5#, I was afraid I'd break her! The lady who got her has low-income and had a stroke, so the poor little dog was looking pretty ragged (she's had her for a year) and had fleas. We gave her a bath and put half a dose of frontline on her after her haircut / nail trim.
Her owner used to operate a big floral company here in town. As a thank you, since she couldn't pay me, she made me a pretty bouquet out of her yard.
Today.....it's water, water, water and then back to the jungle. It's a lot cooler today than it has been, thankfully.

Well. I've gone and done it now.
From my simple, subtle plans for a 'living room' and redoing the flower bed, DH now has visions of a pond and rocks and lots of labor-intensive running of power cords for pond pumps.
Years ago we traded some baby chicks for pond liner, that's just been in the way.
Apparently NOW is the time to use it.
*slaps forehead*
All I wanted him to do was mow down the old plants so I could rake them up. Now it's a PROJECT.
*sigh*
