He’s my beautiful boy, and a real scallywag at that too. Walks around the farm, through the bush, out in the fields, around all the old abandoned equipment rusting in the tree lines. It’s a whole thing. Made better by the presence of another dog, that being Gracie-Mae. She’s a fair bit larger than my pooch, but they get along like chalk & cheese, and run one another ragged, so that I don’t have to. There’s rarely a full moment when both mutts are around. Lots of running, jumping, rolling, and gnashing of teeth. Sometimes they snarl a little, but for the most part it’s just drool and killing tongues after our outdoor walks. I think he likes it.
I’d like to see this week wind down and draw to a close. It’s been a bit of a financial hit, since the Tax Man came and took his fair share. I’m a little down to see those funds go. No matter, there’s more to be made, and more of life to go live.
I just bought a new Hoover brand vacuum for the house since the two we already own are both ready for the trash heat. No matter how many filters I clean, change, replace they both overheat and the plugs get hot. So no bueno. I’m certain there’s something internal that I can’t reach that needs looking after in order to “fix” them, but I’ll be damned if I know what that is. I’ve used my air compressor to blow them out, and picked shit out of every inch of both machines, but I think they are both ready to move to the curb as trash. Might keep the hoses, and random attachments, but the bulk can go out in garbage bags for pick-up. Or get taken to the dump in Aurora. Which I feel is the closest one to us that accepts technology items.
Which reminds me, I need to call the vet because the ticks are bad, and the dog needs meds. Heart worm pills, flea and tick meds. Potentially some vaccinations for being in town. I’m sure it’ll run me about five hundred dollars or more. They can find a way!
It is Friday April 24th, and we have an extended family members birthday to celebrate at some point this weekend. You only turn four once! Soon to be off to school in the fall. My how time flies.
