You know ya wake up thinking things will be ok, things will be ok. I went out on the deck to spary off the pig pooty. Got it all nice and clean thinking how it is one of my favorite anti stressors just to spray spray spray.Chief, who has broken down the fence to the back yard again, is behind me eating his grain and I am constantly reassuring him,"Noooooo I won't spray you, calm calm, its ok."
He is sorta grabbing bites and chewing with his head sideways watching me in case I acccidently get a drop on him. I just cannot imagine who would spray a perfectly sweet horse, who always, and I mean always gets himself in trouble with his curiosity and endless garbage gut. I go back into the house and clean up one of ten or so animal catastrophes, this one being I have left the top drawer of my bedside table open and Sauvey has pulled out a bag of Ludens. He has chewed the whole bag one by one spitting out the plastic wrappers. So everything is sticky. There are two stuck to him,evidence.
I went outside again to take out the burnable stuff, and get my broom, step in pig pooty!!! OMG I JUST cleaned this. I look at innocent, sweet Oscarpig, " why do you come from your nice clean house, thru the grass and on the rock walkway onto the deck and poop right where I come out of the house?" He just oofs and oofs reminding me he is hungry.
So scrape the pooty off my SLIPPERS back in the house again. Shaking head, go in wash slippers and remember I forgot my broom, go back out get broom step in pooty AGAIN, then trip and grab wall and put my knee on the plexiglass aquarium I have leaning on the dog walkway out of the house.I must add it is there to keep Luster from bashing thru the walkway and screwing up my doggy door thing, pick up aquarium and move it. WHAT???? omg
There with only half a tail,an alligator lizard, undoubtedly a cat with no manners bit off the other end. Now squished from when I moved the dang aquarium, saw a bit of blood. I, of course am horrified, and apologizing to the poor flat guy. He surely is very dead by the well very squished little guy. He was about the size of a medium middle finger.
I scrape the pooty off my slipper with his dead body in my hand, not feeling very happy anymore. Wrapped his little self in some paper and set him in the burnie sack. )c:<
Ok on this day I am calling it dog day. First is Beasly who is very round and big, hairy and full of down hair that needs to be brushed out. He loves the attention. trimmed his ear hair too, gorgeous.
Next of course is Sauvey since he kept weezleing his ole face and bod between me and Beas. Brushed him until he kept biting the brush, the biting my hand so I did what any groomer would do. I bit ahold of his lip.
NEXT!! Oh boy. That would be Tedi, as in Teddy Bear. He is basically a huge sausage Basset with hair like i have never seen. Fluffy and curly on his legs. loves to mat and has this icky kinda oily feel. I brush him and cut out matts and manange not to get bit. He is so good, gets in the tub, wash him withe my Aussie Moist, then dose his hairyness with baking soda. rinse him, dry him. and he shakes his self on everything.
Of course he is then set in front of the little heater, and goes to sleep.
By now I am exausted. I had planned to go next door and work. Even got my tools ready,they got as far as the front door. I had fed, cleaned and was ready now to go. I went to the recliner and watched,"Just like Heaven" so good, I loved it. And, "Prime" which I liked too.
Just hung out here and on my alanon message board. Seems one alanon sister had been a B and hurt this real nice gal I like, who is new, and basically told the nice gal to leave, with out meaning to! She just said something about leaving a situation that hurts you. So she did. crap
Went to bed and ate some more of this packaged noodle vegie thing. Promptly woke up with an IBS attack from both ends to put it carefully. eeeeeeeh. thank god for my big dog Sauvey who stands in front of me on the throne so I can lay my head on his back and moan...eeeeeeh. fun night, woke up to feeling prrrrrrriiiiiiittty sorta ok.
So it is an IBS day of having to sit still, lay still and not eat. Just take it super easy. Estersue made that impossible. I cleaned the kitchen and swept, I have to have sorta order to rest. I know ocd.
I am finally sitting, after i promised the dogs I would find the place in the fence so i could fix it so they could go out....so who is staring at m?? I hear this HUGE metal against metal wood sound. GADS!! Sadly my dryer is falling apart in pieces. I am not kidding. The inside has plastic pieces coming off. Nope dryer is fine.
Then here comes Luster dashing in from the dog door, and there is a huge pink mass of pig on my deck PUSHING THE DANG WALKWAY IN. ok This is the same stall doors that used to be a g. pig area. Now set up to be a walkway from the dog door to the dog area. well dog/pig area. well and stinker cat area since I still cannot figure out how he is getting in.
I yell NO at estersue and she gets upset and turns and runs. I tell her, "Out estersue go Out." She promptly goes the other way and starts eating grass.....yea right she always does what I say, what i should say is, she knows what I am saying... but sometimes chooses to do the opposite.
She is just hungry, I fix her some warm wet grain and pour on a V 8 I had had in the cubboard for a long time.
fix the walkway, back to the chair. I hear the tarp on the walkway jiggling and yell at sue to go out. I am typing to Cathy at this point. Keep yelling at sue from my computer for a bit, look out and it is not suesue, it is Chief...gads a huge horse right there by my sliding glass door, looking at me with his ice blue eyes.
I open the laundry room door, ya see the sliding door is the one with the doggy door so i don't use it now. anyway he is now standing between my laundry room door and the cat room on the other side. I calmly tell him back back calm calm so he does, I proceed out, then he backs into the walkway and goes back in the tiny space and squishes me between him and the cat door jam. Yes squished. I cannot move and "let" it happen. Yes it hurts, I got busted into the door jam, it broke away from the framing, and a few outside things poppedoff. somehow i got out. My bare arms are a mess. ouch well the side that hit the door jam is the one that was against Chief was just squooshied.
shaking head, pushed the walkway back telling Chief it is ok ok calm calm, and thinking omg how can I be reassuing him when I am in such pain? Squished like a Ketchup bottle????? I am not kidding.
I did not want my baby getting hurt. So I got him to back out, fed him and fixed the walkway. Got in my chair and knew i had to share this. This insanity. lol
Come into the house, open the pantry door, only to see this strange looking lizard staring at me. NO longer flat, Looking very round and hydrated!!!! It had half a tail. I named him Pancake and wanted to kiss him. no I didn't learned the hard way NOT to kiss every animal I pick up. I put him between the house and the foundation where they like to hang out.
Now I am doing my best to stay calm calm, its ok ok as Bastian cat is diving at the birds outside the window.
gotta go find some food. I was thinking,"who could play me in a movie of eden?" Ellen Degenerus came to mind.
