Granny's gone and done it again

[Nomadicus]

Goodnight everyone. I'm thoroughly medicated and full of ice cream so I can get on my horizontal roost.

I was pulling weeds in the garden today. I had to do it for a short time and go inside for a break from the heat. I got quite a bit done in spite of the heat.

Stay safe in this heat. It just aint worth it

I spent half an hour out and half an hour in the house getting refreshed. Then headed back out to repeat the cycle.

I lived in Ga. when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was 108 not counting the heat index and I didnt even own a fan. People were dropping left and right. I slept on top of my car because it was cooler then the metal trailer I was in. I couldnt do that today.

sweet dreams all

Thanks, Star, will check those out. Got Jenny a nylabone and she acts like I gave her a rock. Gave her an antler ... she gnaws bits off the end and then pukes them up. She likes shredding towels and paper though.

Still have to watch them with it - but when it gets too small you can soak it in water, throw it in the microwave and then it crisps up kinda like a Cheeto. Except less bright orange lol.

Kira has been going mad for the benebones goose wasn’t a fan of. She loves the antlers too. I’ve given her a bully stick once though and that….yeah. She scarfs it down too quick and it gives her problems.

Well, update to Kira the office dog: she did very well today, and was loved on by all. No zoomies of insanity around the office, she was content to mostly just nap on her bed under my desk. (This won’t be an every day or probably even a regular occurrence thing though as BossLady insists on bringing her reactive dog into the office. Heaven forbid he get left at home for a couple hours) The only concerning thing: she didn’t go pee (or poop) once. I’d take her out for a stroll around and nope. She saved it til we got home and she was in her pee spot. Well. She’ll have to get over that when we do our Grand Adventure in October.

I do need to desensitize her to being picked up though. She likes to flop down dramatically if you try…makes loading her into the car quite difficult. Did a little bit of working with her on that at home tonight but we’ll see. I also need to measure bumper height on hubs’s car and see about getting those collapsible steps for dogs for suvs. That way could use em hopefully on my car and his bronco. Would make it easier on everyone if she could just go up and come down on her own. (But still need to desensitize her to getting picked up. You never know when that will come in handy for reasons other than car rides - emergency situations or the like.)

She’s a co-sleeper too we’ve found - and a very good one. Much like peach when it was just the two of us. She’ll just curl up and pass out.

She’s also getting used to being in the crate during meal time. She’s a bit of a mooch, unfortunately.

I figure as we get better with her general training I may be able to “place” her on the bed in the living room instead of having to crate her but she’s not there yet.

Going to look into doing some group training at petco too (where she gets groomed). Good socialization and I’m not proud when it comes to training. Sometimes it’s good to have an outsider perspective and advice on how to handle things. And since Kira thus far hasn’t shown any drastic liability behavioral issues - I think the petco trainers will do just fine. (Though I haven’t seen her interact with too many other dogs yet so that we’ll have to see how that goes)

**EDIT**

Night Granny! Sweet dreams!

Oh good!

Thanks, really happy. It took $84 to fill it up today! Pretty soon people won't be able to afford to drive.

Thanks Blue! Going to look into painting the fiberglass camper top.

I pull weeds daily and/or nightly. Japanese stilt grass is going crazy. Terrible stuff, even the goats won't eat it.
