So, I'm becoming a regular dog sitter. Profitable and relaxing! When the dogs aren't being ridiculous of course. Starting Friday, I watched Dee's dogs while she and her husband went camping. I got to watch some pretty awesome guilty pleasure TV shows (Hoarders, Say Yes to the Dress, Law and Order SVU, Will and Grace, Frasier, and Millionaire Matchmakers) over the long weekend. It really made me miss Gwen, my old roommate. Pretty sure the Say Yes to the Dress marathon did that. Oh, and I learned Project Runway starts up again this month! Oh how I love girly shows.
For my days off I have spent them cooking homemade chex mix and puppy chow. I'm going out for pizza tonight with a friend, and tomorrow I'm volunteering at APA. Hopefully I won't wear myself out. Yesterday, one of our donkeys needed his second correctional hoof trimming. He's has been abused for a long time, and has been foundering on and off for over 9 years. Since he's been with us he's picked on other donkeys, and chased, bitten, and kicked at anyone who comes near. I've been working with him for over a month now. I was really nervous he was going to act up, but my work paid off! We trailered him easily and drove him to a different part of property to do the trimming so he was out of the heat for the surgery. I haltered him and stood with him while Cheryl stuck him with 2 needles and he didn't even flinch. He was out like a light for 25 minutes while we trimmed his hooves, and he popped right back up just as we were done rasping the edges. It was awesome! He really seems to like me, so hopefully soon we won't have to tranquilize him for his trimmings.
Well, I'm off to go grocery shopping. Love and miss you all.
