Day 2671

 I woke up at 7 this morning.  Apparently this is when the dog likes to get up.  I got up for pet stuff and to have breakfast.

After breakfast we played with the dog and did a little surfing.  Then idea was to tire out the dog so that we could leave.  I cleaned out the desk in the kitchen.  It had gotten to the point that I couldn't close the desk anymore.  I threw some old stuff away and organized a lot of stuff.  In the process I found $200 in Cabelas cards and $100 in ebay cards that I didn't know I had.

When the desk cleaning was finished I went down a rabbit hole looking for a dog collar for Abby.  It looks like it will cost $1049.  That's a lot more than the first one.  The Cabelas cards and the $150 debit card I have will help with the cost though.

We accomplished doggy tiring out about 11:30.  We had lunch at Cheddar's.  There was enough in my lunch for dinner.  Then we stopped at the pet store for another dog lead, a little cat food, and of course another dog toy.  I also stopped at the coffee place for coffee on the way to HEB.  It only got to about 52 today.

We bought a whole lot of needed groceries at HEB along with a birthday cake.  Then it was home to rescue the dog.  We ran her in the back yard a little and then Ellen went to the club.  I continued to play with the dog until she pissed me off.  She decided to start eating the carpet and there wasn't anything I could do to stop her.  I'd give her a toy, she'd immediately drop it and go back to the carpet.  That earned her a trip to the crate.

I had leftovers for dinner.  Ellen came home a little later.  We took the dog out for a while.  She was much better behaved when we came back in.  Ellen had dinner and then we had cake.

After dinner was more dog playing and another trip outside.  She ran out of gas a little after 8.  That allowed us to go back to the computers.  I'm considering buying another rig, so I spent time on research.  If I buy it it won't be until we get to Oregon.

Then end of the evening was videos.

Abby has had a lot of close encounters with the cats.  Of course Cooper hates her.  I think Devon would play with her.  Unfortunately Abby wants to play like a puppy.  Devon has no use for the barking and jumping up and down.
