Day 2665

 I woke up at 7.  Actually I woke up several times during the night due to the dog.  Ellen decided it only needed to go out once though.  I played games for a while and then got up.  Ellen was dealing with pet feeding, so I got dressed and then got the wash set up.  After that it was breakfast.

After breakfast it was dog stuff.  Ellen did some training and then we both played with the dog.  Eventually it crashed in it's box.  The dog has ADD.  It only does things for 90 seconds or less before going on to something else.  After that I went on errands while Ellen watched the dog.

We needed to block the area under the stairs to the upper deck.  The dog was using it as a toilet.  I decided to use a wooden trellis.  I could use the rest on the gate.  I also needed to replace the furnace air filters and get the toy at Walmart that the breeder recommended.

I stopped at Lowe's first for the trellis and filters.  The filters were over $20 a piece, highway robbery.  There appears to be only one company making them.  Then it was Wally World.  I got the toy, bananas and OJ, and some glasses cleaning wipes.  Then it was home.

I was really wiped out when I got home.  I had lunch and did some surfing.  I also did some training with the dog and then played with it.  It's really latching onto Ellen and I need to get some time in with it.  That really pisses off the cats though.  After that I went out to work with the trellis.

I cut the piece for the gate first.  It took some time to get it cut correctly.  I basically had to cut three sides of it.  Then I cut out the two pieces to block off the sides of the steps.  After that was the fun part.  I got out the air nailer and nailed the trellis pieces on.  I like that thing.  The result looks good, too.

By the time I got done it was almost 5.  I had something to drink and played with the dog.  Then I fed the cats.

Ellen fixed mac and cheese with ham for dinner.  After dinner I went to the HOA meeting.  It was kind of boring even though there was at least 20 people there.  Apparently the city has tried to block connecting a road to the development.  Unfortunately the developer has bought a couple of county commissioners and they might use eminent domain to get the road completed.

When I got home I sat in the recliner and watched videos.  I did it so the cats could sit with me.  I don't want them in competition with the dog for attention.
