The ater/snow/sleet kept filling it up and turning it into a skating pond. nteresting picture...me in a nightgown, in a snowstorm with a squeegee leaning ut the back door and trying to push water/snow/sleet/ice off the top of a tarp. here is "America's Funniest Home Video's" when ya need them? I could use the rize money. The kennels are not being used. I wanted to attach a 6x12x6 to the exit door of he "dog room" instead of the 12x12 square that I now have, thinking it would be asier to roof. I have however, been told by my husband that it would take on he appearance of a chicken coop. I told my daughter I would be happy to give er the 12x12 for my two Granddogs (her house being one of my favorite "dumping" pots for things I MIGHT want someday)...I don't need all these kennels. The lace is taking on the ambiance of the Plymouth House of Correction...all we eed is the barb wire at the top. NO MORE DOGS!!! None...nada...I love them to death but I am SO done with nimals. I want my yard to look like something other than a test field for rtillery. They dug such a deep hole under the dog house that it is inking...and its a GREAT DANE size dogloo! Now they are eating the sand again. an ANYONE tell me why they find this to be such a delicacy?? They have run the ast little bit of green into the ground. The only thing that grows back there s mushrooms and despair. rwen dismantled a 3,500$ stone wall...evidently we need a cement truck full to ortar the stones together. Otherwise, she rolls these 30 pound boulders up to he deck, smiling and barking all the time like she just found some new reasure. Grace chases the squirrels and goes SMACK into the stockade fence. The oyotes are now in a contest with the dogs as to whose territory this s...sounds like the coyotes are winning. The whole pack sat outside of my tockade fence last night and howled themselves silly...of course VINNIE had to espond (tho for a different reason) Add to that some misguided great horned owl ook up residence right outside my bedroom window. WHOOOOOOOOWHOOOOOO...GOD they re LOUD! Due to Arwens recent dalliance with a certain skunk, we are now forced to put he entire crew into the "house kennel" for last toilets. Needless to say, they ook at me like I have the only key to the bathroom and they "GOTTA GO MA!!!" fter the fight with the aforementioned tarp, I am not able to put down the rerequisite shavings that SUDDENLY turn this outdoor square of cement into a athroom. Until the skunk takes up residence somewhere else (I have heard that laying loud base music should make them leave...does this mean that they are ot Metallica fans? I wonder if my neighbors...the ones we affectionately call Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" would appreciate music played under our deck ll night) they leave me no alternatives. Every room you go into has a dog or a crate in it. I have discovered that the ops of crates make excellent desks and keep all those pesky "necessaries" at aist level, which means I do not have to bend. My chair has wheels...which nable me to wheel myself across the room to drop in another cookie into the rate of Grace/Arwen/Kizzy...(Vinnie is relegated to the DOG OOM...SHUDDER...since BOTH of the girls decided to come into season at the same ime, driving him more than insane.) While I initially felt like a traitor ocking him in "his" room, it appears that he could care less. I doubt he even otices WHERE he is; he just wants the girl! I have had to press the back seat f the car into service, operating as a satellite crate for him when the lobber/whining/howling/barking gets too much. he weather here cannot appear to make up its mind. As soon as I consider utting someone in the kennel, drops suddenly appear. Since my kennels have no oof (we all know about the cobblers children?? My husband is a carpenter...nuff aid)locking them outdoors is not an option. I am therefore trapped inside with semi wet, cranky and frustrated German Shepherds longing for a beach in arbados...and a really hunky cabana boy...my luck, he'd have a dog he had to et home to. awn ==========================================================================POST s Copyrighted 2009.
