Day 2697

 I woke up about 7, played games for quite a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I went out to got some things done in preparation for leaving.

I calculated how much ammo we needed to take with us.  Then I spent some time in the garage selecting what to take.  Eventually I loaded it all onto the truck.  I also put the cart in the truck along with a case of water.  That pretty much completes loading the back of the truck.

By then it was time to meet Lee.  he had his dog with him at the gate.  We went out along with Abby.  Abby and his dog hit it off.  Soon they were running around and playing with each other.  We ended up going to Lee's place because his fence would hold the dogs.  We talked for an hour or so while the dogs ran around having fun.  Abby was having a great time.

We went back home.  Abby shit and pissed on the way, so we thought she was fine.  We put hr in the bin and the cats in the cat room and drove off to have lunch.  We ate pizza and then stopped at the snow cone place on Slaughter.  I think that today was the first day it was open.  The snow cone was great.

When we went back into the house Abby has shit and pissed in the crate.  The shit was diarrhea.  I tied Abby on the porch and then we took the crate and it's contents outside.  I washed everything with the hose and laid it out to dry.  Then we got Abby and gave her a thorough bath.  Ellen did most of the bathing while I continued to clean up.

When that was done we tied Abby up on the porch again while we cleaned the interior of the Audi.  By the time we were done it was hot.  We needed to get something else done though, so we decided to wash and wax the truck.  That was a long hot process.  We didn't get done until 6:30 or so.  The truck will be ready to go once it's fueled up.

We went back inside to feed the pets.  Abby was looking kind of sick.  She'd thrown up some toy stuffing on the deck and was drooling.  At first she didn't want to eat.  Then Ellen put some chicken hearts in with it and suddenly it was good.  After dinner Abby just went to her bed and laid down.

Ellen and I surfed.  Over time Abby perked up.  In an hour or so she was begging when we ate a late dinner.  By the end of the evening she seemed to be OK except for being very tired and maybe a little sore.  That's to me expected given all of the running she did today.
