My lack of writing has gotten me on the extreme disapproval list for the McKoala challenge, and Goblin has arrived to snatch my toe nails! Le sigh.
I am presently forced by the nearly continuous rain and the thin "sod" that is my newly fenced, 100% shaded, side yard is a churned up mud pit and I can't let the pups into it until, at minimum, I get the whole thing dug up and a gravel base installed. I still will have to pave it all, except for flower beds, before snow falls, though.
On a different front, I am missing my writing, but a few other commitments in my personal life have cropped up and are taking what time I do have away from being a dog mommy.
I didn't even post a happy mother's day here, so I hope all you mothers and dads too had a great mother's day. Madre scored from me, including jewelry. I generally always get her earrings or a necklace of some sort because what do you get someone her age that she really needs or wants? She has it already! But I did get her gormet coffee and a mug that says "The best child has four legs" and "Dog Mom" on the other side. It seemed oddly appropriate given our pet-centered lives.
Except for the nagging, pernicious cold that I have which has lingered as sniffling and mild chest congestion for two weeks now, I'm doing great. And it appears that some work changes are going to cause me to actually not get scheduled to work every day this summer, which means....maybe some writing gets done (after yard work!)
For a horrible moment, I feared those dogs had TURNED BAD and begun doing that EAT THEIR OWNER THING so beloved of A CERTAIN KIND OF SLASHER HORROR MOVIE DIRECTOR.
Hope things settle down soon. We could do with some more WW script...

Thanks, Whirl. I knew dogs would complicate my life, but the reality is they take every spare second, and the summer home owner to do list is much longer with them. I go to bed at 8pm in a normal way of things, just so I can get 8 hours of sleep, but now I'm getting to bed at 9+ and getting up between 3 and 4. It's a bit crazy.

I don't know how you manage! I'm not surprised you fell foul of the koala.
I hope you get your toenails back soon!

shitty spring here, too, d... farmers can't plant anything, and bees stay in their hives, so nothing gets pollinated... major food price hike coming... AGAIN!
