Fall round up

By | September 30, 2011

Summer flew by which was no big deal for me since I don’t spend any time outside per se.  I was looking forward to fall and now it’s here.  Love fall for the cooler weather and of course, the changing of the colors on the trees.  As usual my walks with Ranger are longer, too.  [...]

By | September 13, 2011

Finally, the temperature is not hovering around the 80′s anymore.  The air conditioning is taking a break, although it had a couple days of rest last week.  The rest of the week’s temperature will hit upper 60′s.  That’s just perfect walking weather.  No rain in sight. Funny how the two dogs has more energy now [...]

Pet damage lawn

By | August 5, 2011

I think my dogs pee acid instead of urine!! LOL!!  Actually their pee is high in nitrogen which makes the green grass turn brown or bald.  In other words their pee burns the grass, that’s why I say they pee acid!   The front lawn of our house is very badly damage.  Our landlord came over to repair [...]
