Giving the Dogs Their Due
I'm going to give my dogs their due... which is the opposite of what normally happens when they give me their doo. As in doo-doo for the readers who don't remember the 5 year old phrase for Mr. Poopy.
In a year without leave time... which is like that old Rankin/Bass A Year Without a Santa Claus... I've decided to spend money that would have normally gone towards field trips and vacations and instead put it into home improvement projects.
The dogs are getting the back yard. We're going to fence it up and turn it into a dog theme park complete with a doggie version of Space Mountain and nightly fireworks. What a treat that'll be.
As part of operation kill lots of trees, we're going to also (finally) put the deck on the back of the house. I'll miss the door to no where that we have now, but I'm guessing I'll like it even better when the door actually goes somewhere. The dogs will probably also like not having to jump 15 feet down to get to their new Doggie Didney Whurl.
If I have any money left over, we're going to do some landscaping and put in a patio or something similar.
Then, dogs allowing, we'll have a grand opening party.
Since I keep forgetting to write here... here's a quick updated:
Kerie's going back to school.
My jaw is better.
My insomnia is out of control.
My knee is crunchy.
Oh and Max the puppy loves to eat romance novels. That's a good boy, Max.
