Part II
1350 - Assess dog and listen for bowl sounds and palpate abdomen for any discomfort or possible bloat.
1400 -Go into house carrying pizza, Zima (one of those days),and groceries into house. As I enter the house, my maleoutside cat (I have cat allergies so they stay outdoors) decides to runin and almost gets stepped on. I leave him in the house andget garden tools ready.
1410 - Go outside to fix garden bed. It looks like a battle took place in the bed and the veggies lost - badly.
1450 - Love on my dog and check him again. He keeps lickingme and leaning on me; he knows I'm upset. He is fine andshows no ill effects from his past 2 days of vegetarianismLOL. Go back inside tired, wet, and now covered with dirt andhaving sore knees and back.
1500 - Inside I load last load of clothes into laundry. Malecat decides to be an outdoor cat again *smirk* and begs to gooutside. As I let him out, the girl cat runs in thehouse. At this point, I'm too tired to care.Vash's cage is dirty and he's slept in his litterbox soeverything needs cleaned and changed. Let the rabbit out andbegin cleaning cage.
1520 - Going out to shake out rug, my neighbor asks if I want her 2dogs since she is moving soon. I decline, but offer to feedand water them until homes can be found. Neighbor'sson-in-law then starts talking to me about finding a job drivingtrucks. I give him the name of a company. Prettysoon half the neighborhood is in front of my house chatting with all ofus.
1620 - Make excuse to go back to cleaning rabbit cage andhouse. Enter house to find the girl cat running away fromVash who wants to mate with her. She spazzes out and thenruns and gets on my freshly folded clothes. Did I mentionthat I'm allergic to cats?
1700 - Take girl cat out back door to get away from the chatting in thefront yard area. Nobody is around. Good.Take out trash. Yes,peace and quiet atlast. Nope. The chickens decide to fuss and fightwith each other. They are out of food and arecranky. Give chickenssome food and treats to calmthem down. Guy driving by asks if I have a rooster forsale. No, but I go and get him a trading journal withchickens listed in it. He thanks me and drives off.
1750 - Go back in house and see Vash humping a pair of myshorts. There are coco puffs on the carpet and he hasshredded a newspaper.
1800 - Take looong break and regroup.
1900 - Start cleaning up current mess Vash just made. Go outto take out rabbit litter and neighbor kid stops me and asks me did Iknow anyone that did carpentry - he was looking for work. Goback inside and get repairman's number and talk to him about local guyswanting jobs. One guy that is hiring I went to school with Itell him.
1945 - Go back in house and Vash and trashed my living room like a fratparty - newspapers and magazineseverywhere, coco puffs, andhe has peed in not one, but 3 different places. He islounging on the couch looking pretty smug with himself. Startfussing at him and he immediately starts liking my hand andknee. Give him a wipe off to get litterbox stains off, cleancage, clean litter box,vacuum floor, and put Vash to bed.
2100- Starting to relax a little when I hear the dog escapehis kennel. Apparently the 'viscous' katydids had to bedestroyed in the back yard. Oh, and all that scarfing he didfinally got to him - big steaming pile of poop with well... all thelovely stuff he has ate for the past 2 days in it. Lock dogback up, shovel poop. Make plans to find out how much stewcan be made from 2 cats, a rabbit, 5 chickens, and 1 huge dog.
2200 - Shampoo carpet and begin my essay.
