Babysitting day!
Friday is the day that the neighbor Butch goes to some big farm where he can't take Baxter so I get to babysit him ALL day!
During the week I just get to babysit when Butch goes out for the evening or goes to school, or goes to the store, but Friday is an all dayer and he's here in the house when I wake up.
You see, when we met Butch he had a black and white dog just like our black and white dogs.
His name was Cassidy and I got to babysit Cassidy all the time and Cassidy and Bart and Buddy were like the three musketeers and they would play until they dropped.
But then one weekend Butch was working in Central Oregon and there was a terrible accident on the highway and Butch lost Cassidy.
It makes my heart hurt to even tell you that.
But now Butch has Baxter
And everything is coming into balance again.
The big boys love to play with Baxter and Baxter does his best to keep up, but it's never long between naps.
And that's when he and Pooter spend their quality time together.
Everyone knows short legged dogs love a good nap.
So that's what I'm doing today.
Yesterday we cleaned the garage and thank gawd for Craigslist.
We had people here to haul off our old broken dishwasher and Wyatt's old mattress and saved us having to take them to the dump.
I hate taking things to the dump especially if there's any chance that someone else can use what you're trying to unload.
Reuse and repurpose.
That's how we got Gary the roof ram.
We traded a bunch of old chicken wire and some garbage cans for him.
Repurposed Ram.
Anyway so today is also clean the upstairs day because......
We have company coming on Monday!
It's some big motocross weekend thing somewhere around here this weekend and so that means Val and Kate and Joe and whoever else can fit in the truck will be here Monday night!
I am SO excited to see them.
Val and I have been friends ever since she gave me a bloody nose in the fourth grade because she didn't want to hold hands in the lunch line.
That's all, I have to go smell the puppy now.
Peas.
How funny the way you became friends!
