No rest...

Well, Sunday, July 1st is almost over. We got alot done again today. Tom worked outside clearing some of the brush at the top of the driveway so we can see things coming down the road. I worked all day in the house getting things done. After many, many, many loads of laundry done I think I actually have a handle on it all again. Just need to get a basket of undies & socks put away and get the last load of blankets out of the dryer!! I think we are almost at a point where we can put half of the stuff that is in the living/dining room area in the covered trailer and start pulling up the carpet. It will be really, really nice to have a decent looking floor in here. I have decided that I don't want the laminate flooring in the hallway. That is where the puppies are kept and I don't want to have to replace the flooring after the next batch of puppies... So, we are thinking about going with tile in the hallway. Will have to see how it works out. I also need to figure out what color I want to paint the walls... cuz the paneling IS coming off this year!!!

Cleaning went well tonight. We are back to where we can let three pens out at a time and get the chore done in "4 waves" making it much more fun for the dogs because they get to play with each other. Kako is finally out of season so she can be out with anyone now. At the end, I had Butternut, Sioux, Fred, Cheyanne, the three pups (Tanner, Shasta & Dude) and Em out running around. I sat down to pet the pups on the a-frame roof that is out in the open area... well, Em walked up to me just as Butternut was coming over the top to get some loving. Well, B-nut slipped and slid down the roof right into Em. Em growled just a bit and B-nut decided to go after Em!! Em hadn't even done anything wrong!! And that is unusual, Em is usually a snot to everyone... Well, I got Butternut off of Em -while beating off Chey & Sioux. I saw Fred coming toward us and yelled to Tom to stop Fred. If there is any kind of squabble, the other of those two boys has to be in the middle of it. Tom yelled at Fred and he backed off, but there was no way in hell I was going to let go of Butternut. He was now sporting the attitude of the century! I lead him back to his pen. While walking with him, Em decided to give Butternut a piece of his mind for attacking him... Em was snapping and yapping at Butternut... B-nut was not impressed. All were put back in their pens and all was well again. However, I am not going to trust Butternut with Em for a long time!! At least it wasn't a knock down drag out fight just because of the little squabble!

Panzer is doing okay. She seems to feel much better now and is moving around without looking like it hurts. She is sleeping in the house at night, but will probably spend the day outside tomorrow. She loves to pick on Pal when she is in the house... Pal gets fed up with it and just swats her! It was pretty funny tonight when she sniffed him and he planted his claws in her head! She wasn't very impressed. But, she was good about it and didn't go back after him.

Tomorrow is another day at work. Our weather forcast is for HOT days all this week... temps are suppose to be in the 80's!! YUCK!! I want snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Happy Trails!
