Well, I finally got the store bought chicks out of the wire kennel and into the chicken yard - but only because yesterday morning leaving to take the boys to school I found a little female Lab. She is really sweet, not very well trained except for crate trained. She must spend most of her time in a kennel. Anyway, yesterday I spent 2 hours going up and down the roads closest to where I found her, knocking on doors and asking if anyone was missing her or knew of someone who might be missing her. No joy.
I made signs and posted them yesterday but didn't get any bites. Last night I printed color signs (the print only goes to 72 font, but I printed them in red) and put them up this morning. I even expanded my sign area. I called my vet and animal control to list her as found, still need to contact a few other vets.
At first I thought it would be cool to keep her - but for the first time in my life I have a single dog that fulfills that companionship void completely. In fact, with Rio it overflows.
This morning I did the pointless act of running the sprinkler on the garden. I am really disappointed the peas aren't coming up - may scatter the remainder of seeds and just see what happens.
I go back to the nutritionist on Monday 5/16. I still don't have my act together as far as what I am eating and when. Aggravating.
Then on 5/17 I take Rio to the specialist. I am more nervous about his surgery than my own.... I just don't see flambouyant Rio being happy with a month's strict rest. My parents did say he could stay inside with them while I am at work, so that helps some.
Well - off to call some vets and hopefully get a nap now that Buford is sleeping soundly. I don't know why 5am has become his magic hour to need to get up and bark until 7. This morning I almost lost my patience.... too tired!
