Official Squatch Watchers

I too am giving watermelon today.
I don't have ice so they will have to accept fresh cold water every 2 hours.

I think if this was my day I might have to make good on my leg breaking threats.
Nobody would have functional legs.

I have hit the "WHY DOGS WHYYYYYY!?!" part of the day.



I started the sheets in the washer. Brought the idiots in. Bedroom door closed at this point.
I took the weed eater around the kennels. I come back in to find Sable and Tilly completely shredding the mattress topper.




Jack opens doors.
I guess he wanted his bed and those two turds had a go at mine.

Now to go buy another blankety blanking topper.





All this carp
The fighting, the destruction of random things, the tree digging, the ticking me off all started AFTER having Sable spayed. Coincidence? I think so but it is so frustrating.

I have up on ANY outside work today. We are already over 90°.

I did get a new topper.

I have also ordered the idiot dogs to the sofa and chair with the well understood command to lay and stay.

I suppose I can do the housework.
About zero help around here....ever.

I lol a tiny bit.
Apparently the ONE time Sable got a whack with a kitchen towel sunk in. it was for being up on the counter. It was not given by me. It was also about a year ago so before Tilly was even here.

I took them out to pee and had a dish towel in my hand when I called them in. Sable doing a duck and run into the house past the evil towel made EVERYONE rush for inside.

Towels are so peaceful normally.

I never travel without my towel! Where ever in this galaxy I may wander.

Some days you're the whale other days you're a bowl of petunias.

Today is petunias here.

@21hens-incharge I’m sorry your girls are being destructive taterholes today.

Well, the Milk Drinker and I had a day. We had to get an appointment to get his bilirubin checked and our pcp just happens to be on vacation for the next 3 weeks. She is the only dr in the practice. So my mom called a nurse practitioner she’s seen and got us an appointment this morning. We go in she checks him out, thinks he looks good based on how he is acting (eating, pooping, vigorous, lively) but we should still get a blood test. We were told by the dr it would be an arm stick. We get to the lab and they say no, it’s a heel stick. They stick one heel and spend 10-15 min collecting blood. And what does blood do if it sits that long? It cloys and is unusable. So they stick his other heel. They get the blood in less than 5 min. We go back to the nurse practitioner and wait 15 min. She comes in and said that she expected the results by now, but we can go. She reiterated he is doing fine and she’ll call my mom (we still don’t have a phone) when she gets the results. By this time, I’m beat, worn out and hungry. My mom took me and talked me into being pushed around in a wheelchair, for which I am very grateful. Well, halfway home, I get a call from the lab.... they didn’t get enough blood

Since the NP was so confident he should be fine, we are going back tomorrow morning. I’m going to insist on an IV stick to save my poor little guy’s heels another assault.

Dear Gawd what an awful ordeal. Poor little guy.
I remember when they did my son's test. It was horrible.

I would insist they do the IV method too. Bunch of carp poking both heels and STILL messing it up.


My taterholes have been listening since I have a dish towel run through my belt loop.
Mean? Maybe but effective.

Oh I know. My mom used to do this with the dachshunds we had at the time. Doxies are VERY food motivated and would hang as close to my mom as they possibly could. The main problem, they are perfectly designed to be trip hazards. So she gave them a few pops and after that all she had to do was touch the dish towel for them to skarper over to the kitchen entrance and wait with their front paws right on the threshold.
