Bubbles

We have decided since we are not moving to a different home, we can not keep all 3 dogs. Since Bubbles is not cycling, we are selling her. We had her sold to a couple in Portland Oregon who wanted to use her to train in AKC events. When they found out about her throat and the debarking, they backed out. So, now she is going to a different family in Oregon who just want a family dog. They are glad she is debarked. I will get her spayed this Friday and then she will ship out on the 19th. I will miss her, but that is how things go.

Hurt Heart

So, we will not be moving, selling the house, or buying a new home. The girls have threatened legal eviction if we try. So, we will stay here.
We are having 2 different men come and fix the house. We are having all the holes in the walls and ceilings fixed and painted. Then the other man is fixing all the cracks on the stucco outside. That will help, not having to look at all the holes.
Then we are hiring Brett Poulsen to come and put in a water softener and a dog washing station. Then we are done. 

New Truck

Did I say that we bought a new car back in Sept of 2018? We bought a 2018 Chevy Equinox. I love, love, love it. Reese is getting use to it. It is silver, grey, with a light gloss.
Well, since the girls turned down our offer to buy them out of the house, Reese bought a new truck. It is a 2018 Nissan Titan truck. It is a small, medium size truck, a step down from the quarter ton Ford truck. He wanted to size down, and the truck had 118,000 miles.
It was a nice trade in. The Nissan was a trade in used truck. It came from a rental agency that had it for 10 months. It has 10,000 miles on it and a full 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty. It is silver, grey. It is not as electronic as the Equinox, but for Reese to run around town and to the temple and back, it is great. It will still hold a good load of fertilizer for the gardens.

Muddy Days

What happens when you have 3 dogs and a lot of rain, and a once halfway grassed yard? MUD, that's what. This is what I got to clean up.

Bubbles and Havoc in the tub. Fancy is too tired to play. 

Cancer is....

Cancer is cancer is cancer is cancer. Okay, but at least this cancer is not life threatening, right? We officially  found my first of I am sure many more, skin cancers. It is on my left upper arm, where the sun hits when you are driving. Just out of my sight.
I went to my dr to have what I thought was a mole cut off. It had been there for years, but it was hurting me now. He sliced the top off and told me that he couldn't go digging to clean it up because the insurance company's required that a biopsy be done first. If there is no cancer, then the hole will heal up. If it comes back with cancer, then he will have to cut into the arm and dig out the cancer cells.
I got on line and looked at my report and it came back as CSC, I think. It is the most common cancer of all skin cancers. Just cut it out and it will most likely not grow back.
So, now, I have to get another appointment and go back in and have my arm put to sleep and then have the dr. cut it out and stitch me close. Why couldn't he just have done that the first time.
Other then that, life is rolling along. :)
