Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Picture taken in the morning while it was still snowing lightly. I didn’t go in to work coz of my sickening throat. Took the picture to see where the grill is….so much for trying to get some grilling in!

This was taken right after the snow stopped. We went out to take pictures and walk on the fresh snow!

And so happen it was also trash and recycle day.

Yep that’s DB standing there…looks like he is supervising those recycle guys but he was not. He was trying to shovel a path for me.

Front of the house

Side of the house by the garage.

Nice untouched snow till……

…this fella found a stick.

Doesn’t care how deep the snow is, he still wants to fetch!

At least the boys didn’t venture over here…..nice and smooth, somewhat.

Cooper wants Chase’s stick but he is getting slower now. Heart is willing but legs are not.

This is Ranger’s walking route.  He so want to climb up the snow banks and snoop near the woods.  I don’t let him coz of his bad leg.

The snow is piling high on the patio. Snow started on Monday late morning and didn’t stop till Wednesday noon.

As soon as the snow stopped, I went out with the boys, Cooper and Chase to the park. Ranger I had to walk him separately from the other 2. The weather was nice in the 20’s F. Snow on the streets was melting after the plows went through. This was taken about 2 hours after the plows came by. Can see black on the roads!

The elementary school field

Fresh snow this kid was sledding right after school.

In the trails, just beautiful…untouched till me and the two boys came along!

Tried getting a picture of the two together…but Cooper is too damn camera shy! Notice Chase’s missing teeth? One big empty gap with missing tooth and a fang? It’s the same on the other side. But he still could chew his rawhides down in seconds.

Finally, he looked over and stayed put!

I have enough of the rain, for me, not sure about some folks…yes, it finally stopped last night and drying up the ground this morning when I went out for my walk.  The boys are happy they get to go for their walks, again! 

Yesterday was trash and recycle day which means I need to haul the trash and recycle cans out to the curb of our yard. I was hoping it would quit raining but it rained the whole day Tuesday since Monday afternoon.

Came home to see the cans with their lids opened!! Urgh! Hate that.  (The smaller one is for trash.  Bigger one is for recycles: newpapers, plastics, cans, cardboards – anything that can be recycled.  The recycle company will sort them things out.  We don’t need to.)

Of course I have to curse those trash and recycle guys!  Coz I need turn those heavy cans over to get rid the water before I could roll them back to the side of the garage.  On normal trash days, and btw, it’s DB’s job to get these boys out, the trash/recycle guys were really nice, the cans will be emptied and all standing straight up like the one you see across our house.  

I’m glad the next couple of days are dry till Saturday…rain/flurries in some areas.  Friday will be a crunch time to get the yard clean up of poop and leaves.  I have to say the backyard is like a cow pad. 

Our realtor will send us an email if there is any potential showings on so and so day. Yesterday we agreed to a showing for this morning, Saturday at 9:45 a.m. DB and I got up early and started to do our usual clean up, not the best at least pick up and vacuum. At 9:30, we left the house with the boys to the school field for the boys’ run/exercise. We sort of picked the wrong time coz the sun was getting warm and I forgot my sunscreen. Yeah, I’m getting really anal about the brown spots and wrinkles!!! If only I can find the best wrinkle cream for my eyes, I be happy!

Anyways, back to his damn showing thing, we were at the school field for about 30 minutes and took a slow drive back home. I went in first to check if the realtor and client came.  Normally after each showing, the realtor who brought his/her client for the showing will leave a business card on the table for us, informing us that they have been here.  Well, i didn’t see any card on the table or anywhere else in the house. I went back to the truck telling DB there was no show, and we, “the family” went out for another joy ride again in hopes that those folks will show up soon, at least by 10:45.  We only give an hour window for the showing.

Driving around aimlessly is totally sickening knowing that we still have commitments at home to finish for the weekend.  11 a.m. came, headed home and we checked the house for the business card.  No card, so we thought those folks didn’t show up.    Blardy hell, wasted our time out there driving aimlessly.  The main level of the house looks normal except for the door to the basement.  I remember closing it shut but it was ajar.  I asked DB, he and I went downstairs and he said those guys came coz he purposely left the door under the stairs open and it was shut tight.

What doorknobs!!!  Didn’t bother to even leave the card as an indication they were there.  Well, I told DB to remind our realtor that I need at least 24 hours before a show because of the dogs and each show is only for an hour.  No more no less, especially when I have to handle 3 dogs on my own.  I’m so “looking” forward to those days…read the sarcasm?
