Well I suppose it’s time to make at least a weak effort towards typing some content in here. Problem is, I haven’t really done anything. Donette just returned from a 3 week (!!) stay in KC, which left me mostly sitting at home watching our anxiety-plagued puppies. They do ok IF (and that is a very important if) you walk around and make sure anything semi-destructible is removed from reach. This includes throw pillows, shoes, sunglasses, ear phones… anything that can be grabbed. They are only 5 years old though, maybe they will grow out of this phase. (How’s that for optimism.) I also watched an extra pup for the neighbors while they went out of town. This little girl is about six months, and she proved a bit of a challenge. Not too much, but she definitely has some puppy tendencies. Quinn had a bang-up time playing with her though. Now Nacho is a different story… Heck, she barely tolerates Quinn. There were a few good scraps, but with each of them weighing in around 12 pounds I didn’t have to worry about anybody getting hurt.

Other than a few trips to the office and an emergency voyage to the grocery store, I can’t think that I really left the house the whole time. I am definitely ready for our upcoming camping trip this coming weekend, get out of here for a bit. The bad news there is (and there is always bad news…) the forecast is back in the triple digits starting Saturday. Hmmm. We can make a game time decision when the time gets closer.
