Barktoberfest

Every year the Humane Society puts on a "Barktoberfest" at the parks downtown.  They have one full park of about 60 vendors ranging from vet clinics (mine was there - YAY), pet stores, rescues, photographers, etc. Another park has the demos (flyball, K9, dachsund races) and another has bounce houses for the kids.

  I took Rio and Rags and we are all worn out. I paid to park thinking it would be closer. It was  - to the Ronald McDonald House fire truck pull. I made it even further away by walking the wrong street.  We walked about 6 blocks the wrong way, then had to walk a few to get corrected and to the park.
  Then we waited for friends but Rio and Rags kept pulling on the leashes and me scolding them .. I was exhausted before we even started walking the park! We wandered around a bit and before we left I had my photo made with the dogs.  The lady had an actual photography business so I thought it would be ok... but I was very disappointed.  I had both dogs with me and they were good.  She knelt down to get the photo, but then also angled up so I look like I am gargantu-woman 12ft tall!! Rio looks like a mini-Lab.  Seriously?  *sigh*

Anyway it was fun walking around, especially once the dogs settled down. Then we had to walk all the way back to the truck. It was a lot shorter when I walked the correct way!!!  We were still exhausted when we go to the truck. 


Rags still had some get up and go, but Rio's get up and go "got up and went"... but at least he was still smiling


I didn't spend much time at home before I put pon a long sleeve shirt and headed to Jrod's baseball game. He was sitting by the time I got to the first game (last couple innings) and didn't go in until the 4th in the 2nd game. He had a great hit and played well in the field. They put him in to pitch!! I wish they would practice him or he would practice at home ... they do this every season. He did fine and got the outs so it worked out ok.

  Now I am just up. No reason. Dreading work tomorrow because when I am depressed it is so hard to get motivated. I have motivation problems anyway because my moodiness, but not that the depression is settling in, I imagine it is only going to get worse.

Counselor will be back in town Monday, and I have an appointment. I have sent easy emails since he was at a conference and busy. He also was just on a laptop and I didn't figure he likes typing on it anymore than I would lol.  Hopefully sessions will work out ok. 

  Buddy is still at the trainer. I don't know when she is planning to bring him back.  If he isn't back by then I will either pick him up when I go to Crestview to get my new trailer or I will ask her to bring him to Coldwater. Either way he'll be back mid-October, I am ready for him to be home.

I have a LOT of winterizing to do now that it is cooler (58* now, low of 49).  Pat the bullied hen just roosts on an old rabbit cage under a board so she needs more shelter. I need to clean out the little hutch house for the dwarf rabbits and Bon the big rabbit needs somewhere to snuggle in for cool nights.  The 2 red roos still get up on the fence at night, so I need to block that off and make a roost inside the shelter so maybe they will use that --- Bo the BR Roo gets on the fence as well, but he gets along ok to stay with Poppy, Solo and the big flock.

 I did plant broccoli and cabbage in the raised bed yesterday. I need to do more... we'll see how that goes.

  I bought Skye some feed, just need to unload it.  I need to get another big bucket for water since Buddy likes warm apple water too :)

Lots to do... gotta get moving instead of making excuses.
