Had a busy day today. Tried to take some halfway decent photographs of the pups, now age 10 months but they were not co-operative, and I didn't put them on leashes to get better contol over where they stood. I did use the squeeky toy they tore out of the witch we bought them last week to get their attention, but they were still too close to get good side shots.
We are thinking about taking them to the Halloween Dog Parade tomorrow, and even saw some childrens costumes at Costco that would look good on the girls. There wasn't very much for the boys though. We were thinking that since RCA has this thing about opening our mail, we would try to dress him in a mailman uniform and convert some dolly stroller into a mailbag complete with unsolicited mail, but we don't have the time to throw that costume together. Holly would look good in the purple velvet dress but my roomie thinks she would look better in the pink number. Oh well. We really don't have the time as we are finishing rebuilding the back pasture fence that has been down for over a month. I will be so happy to have that back up as Buddy and Mira took off after the workmen forgot to lock the back gate. My neighbor drove over to let me know that he and the Blond had gotten out. Mira had taken off to her house down the back of the properties and they locked him up. I am glad they know where he lives. Of course by the time I found the halters and lead ropes Mira had already made his way home for dinner. I had locked the gate so the other horses wouldnt' take off too. The blond Buddy, wasn't so smart he found himself in the pasture next door which is now a vacant house. The neighbor that let me know that Mira was out, also let me know that the other neighbor next door to her had moved out. My god they have lived there for over 25 years. So now there are two empty houses next to me.
I was watching the dogs next door, they have a mastiff, a shepard mix, and a black lab puppy. I watched them sitting on an old redwood picnic table, and the table was sagging under their weight. I wonder how long it will be before they decide the can leap off the table and land on the patio cover!?! That ought to be interesting to watch. They love cats. It's a good thing that they are ok with cats, because now that the material to rebuild the back pasture is gone, the ferals will need a new home.
Not much else, except I am scheduled for an MRI for my lower back. The MRI I had done last year is too old now for the spine surgeon, so he wants a new one. It will be good to be out of pain for a change. I have been in pain since I fell on the porcelain tile floor rushing Missy Bee to the ER back in Dec. 06.
