Blog Will Be Late

Just wanted to tell you that this blog may be late or non existent today. 

Dennis cut a hole into the metal on the side of my washer as it was not draining except every 3rd time. He removed hair - tons of it - after watching a youtube video. What a smart son we have! Fixed it so he would be able to remove hair in the future easily without taking the washer apart. I have been doing laundry all night. It works like it is new. Have 2 more loads to dry. I have water dishes down. They get up in an hour and I may sit in the recliner and nod off for 30 minutes if allowed.

Nathan has to bring Harlow into the vet as she is uncomfortable and will feel better after drainage. He is tired too but important not to delay. It would kill him and me too if she was uncomfortable as we missed an appointment. The dogs count the most here!

While Nathan was gone, he left me a rental in case of an emergency. I didn't need it but peace of mind is worth everything. He needs to return it this morning too. 

Told him I can't do this guys trip for him when I have older pups, boarders and impending pups. I may be able to climb tall buildings in a single bound but that was way too much. Then we have puppy visits. I also after that have to do all the stuff I do to send them home. No sleep with Yoshi - crazy crazy.

Dennis will sleep this afternoon after me and do the night duty. So far everyone is doing well including Yoshi who after the last finally calmed down. Read her blog for the surprise.

He will also run like crazy and chase the willy out of the dogs and they will have a blast. Normal life. I just don't feel normal in the least. Drank and drank coffee.

Why is Harlow uncomfortable? I don’t see her name in the Blog Titles, so don’t know who she is.

Harlow is not my breeding. That is why no name on the menu. Her late mom was a friend. Her human dad has parkinsons. She has boarded here most of her life. Last time she went home it was obvious that giving her meds is a problem and she doesn't make it easy. So he visits and we care for her. He loves her so. She loves him so. Harlow has to have her stomach drained. She has cancer and a heart condition. After draining she is happy and enjoying. When she fills up, she has difficulties. I hesitated in posting this as he may desire privacy and I get that.
