The Old Folks Home

I started as a groomer learning how to show but maintained my business with contractors when I showed .. I worked with a group in Boring Ore on canine fertility and was at dog shows 50 weekends a year for almost 30 years

Very hectic and competitive at shows. I only dabbled in it for fun.

Tired and sore this morning. Cats woke me up running at top speed and tackling each other. Sigh. Wish i had a bath tub to soak in. Going to have to go to the dumpster and get rid of garbage today. No collection here, strictly do it yourself. And i need groceries.

I loved the shows competitive edge I imagine, my clients paid me well

Just finished picking blueberries for jam and pies. Done with the cemetery work with exception of one more stone in my town. Have to go back to work tomorrow.

There's no trash collection here, but there is a small one man company who will come and collect if you pay him. It's Tom's Rubbish, and they have the best motto:
Satisfaction Guaranteed or Double Your Rubbish Back!

I want a t-shirt, bad.

Thank you, Chickisoup, yes, please do! Walking is so very hard for him. His legs keep turing in and he keeps stumbling over his own hind feet or sliding unless he is on rugs or has is booties on. But he can still run like the devil himself is casing him when he wants to. It must be a whole different set of nerves and muscles being used when he runs.

This morning they woke us up to go out at 4 AM. We were able to turn off the AC last night for the first time in weeks and sleep with the windows open so they were hearing the foxes prowling around.
DH said when they hit the door, Dingo was running and didn't stop. He was all over our 30 acres for the next hour barking at the foxes across the road, and is now laying in front of the house just watching the timber. We are letting him do what he wants to do and urging him to exercise which is what they recommend.

the pain receptors do fire different we could learn from them the adrenal system is not vastly off ours but think when it was a circumstance that your adrenal was up we are able to do so much pain only returns when we stop... exercise is wonderful I am not a fan of rimadyl knowing plain aspirin is still my choice as the damage is the same n'said are all rough on the system

Figured out part of why i am so tired today. Dehydrated. How, i have no idea. I drink enough water to drown a hippo. Too much sugar and sweating i guess. So i will drink lots more before i go out. I only work in the shade. Cripes, getting old sucks.

Been almost all day in the kitchen except a foray into picking berries at opening hour.

Made 2 batches of blueberry spice jam for myself (another batch with a friend), plus a blueberry pie (and 2 more for said friend), plus 2 loaves of bread (italian and plain).

Time to go back to work so I can get some rest.

ABSOLUTELY. I cannot just sit. Have to always be doing something even if it's just puttering.
