Petsitter Instructions

Dog:

Dogbert – Easy to identify; should be the only dog here. If this is not the case, please call. Food is stored in the feeder itself. Just lift the top part off. Will jump the fence if left outside unsupervised for too long.

Cats, Male:

Yellow Cat – Large, elderly orange tabby with a cauliflower ear and a crooked head. Needs to take his Clindamycin twice per day. It is on the kitchen counter in a bag with Pill Pockets. Is not fooled by Pill Pockets but it’s worth a try. Recovering from abscess on face that needs to be watched. Can go outside and will probably crap in the floor if he doesn’t get to. Conveniently, the pile of crap will be right in front of the back door so that you can’t open it to let the dog out without either smashing the crap or cleaning it up first. Yellow Cat can probably be found on the bed in either the master bedroom or Eric’s room depending on who forgot to turn off their electric mattress pad.

Editing that damn Hello World post

A friend dragged me over here from that other place. Since I’d follow her almost anywhere, here I am.

My name at that other place was not available here so I was forced to assume a new identity.

Where the hell is Sandy?

Since that stupid, default “Hello World!” post had comments on it I had to edit it instead of deleting it.

Bird in a Bucket – Is it Monday?

Here it is barely past lunch and we’ve already had an eventful day.

It is a beautiful day in Southwest Missouri. the sun is shining and it feels warmer than it really is. Since my family has spent four out of the last five weeks sick with one virus after another, I decided it was time to enjoy the weather and get outside.

Our back deck and yard needed cleaning up so I started by rounding up all the empty Fresh Step buckets that accumulate out there so I could stack them neatly and list them on FreeShare. You’d be amazed how many people want those buckets.

I had four buckets neatly stacked when I saw a fifth one turned on its side right by the dryer vent so that the warm air from the vent was blowing into the bucket. I picked it up and immediately screamed and threw it back down. Something was alive in there.
