Interesting

Life is weird, but then y'all probably know that. Today, we were contacted by our title company that we had a couple of checks that kept getting returned to them as undeliverable. It's our title company sending to the address where we bought and live on. So, we thought that was weird, but maybe they had a typo?

We went and picked up the checks and sure enough, our address was correct. There's been other times we haven't gotten things that were supposedly mailed to us and some of our mail we mailed didn't get delivered. Maybe it's our mailman. Maybe it's our post office. I truly don't know. All I know is if you think you've mailed me something and I didn't acknowledge it, it may totally be I didn't receive it. 

However, Amazon, UPS and FedEx definitely know where I live. Feel free to send me any packages through them. 

Confusion

So I was outside with the three darker colored dogs (all except Kenzie) and I start hearing scolding from Rob. I'm shocked! I'm thinking Kenzie is finally getting disciplined by Rob. Side note, Kenzie is Rob's princess. She can do no wrong in his eyes. All the three other pups are looking at me, just as confused. No one can believe it. Yeah, no, he was scolding Flurry the cat. A pointless activity, but that makes more sense. 

Well we've been to Austin and to Lampasas and to Goldthwaite today, so I'm tired. We only have to go to Austin four more times this week, and Goldthwaite twice more, so yay??? I'm not even counting Lampasas on times, we go there more than we should. 

Oh, we got a litter robot for the cats! Now all our presents from the felines are in a nice disposable container. It's the small, albeit extremely expensive things, that make me happy. 

Vacuuming the Vacuum

Want to know how my Monday was? At one point, I was vacuuming the vacuum if that gives you any indication. Do you know what was keeping all the shedding fur on my dogs? The mud that I washed off yesterday. Today, it was a glitter bomb of dog fur was set off in my house. The fur kept getting trapped in my vacuum, so I had to keep using the wand to vacuum it out. Yes, I finally got worse and just started using the wand to pick up all the fur blobs, but it took me longer than I'd care to admit to get to that point. 

After awhile, I gave up altogether and went about my day. While I'm insanely busy the rest of the week, today I could actually sneak to my bed and read while Rob was working. It's called self-care, that's a millennial term I'll happily use. 

I finished off the day taking silly pics of my cows. We had fun while Rob did the feeding. So yes, I was as helpful today as a vacuum vacuuming itself!

Flora wonders how I can look so goofy both in person and in selfie mode

Hodge Podge

Another weekend over, and another busy week ahead! The sun finally came out this weekend though and you know what that means, right? Well, if you answered bathing the dogs and cleaning the muddy house, give yourself a point. As an added bonus, I even did the laundry. Rob wants me to iron one of his shirts. That's funny. 

On the farm side of things, Rob was a little concerned Rose wasn't fitting in with the other cows. Yet today, I've witnessed her playing with Maesie, then Callie and then Coorie. I just think she knows how to milk attention from Rob. 

Also, Fancy has a twig with mud stuck in her hoof. She has decided she'd rather walk like a fool today instead of allowing me to remove it. Jokes on her, I'm mudding up in front of the water trough that will hopefully remove it for us both. Otherwise tomorrow, Fancy and I will have a battle of wills. I won't lie, she'll probably win!

Some Sun!

What a day! For half of it it was still super foggy. By this afternoon though, the sun came out. Whoo-hoo! I got to see my beautiful animals again, but we had some mischief as well. 

Our cute, not the most brilliant, but cute Teddy followed our neighbors guineas through a little hole in the fence over to our neighbors side. Probably wouldn't have been an issue except he forgot how to get back! He started barking his fool head off and the man of the house there works through the night and sleeps through the day. So the woman of the house tried to get Teddy back to our side to no avail. Rob got him back, we apologized and I promptly called Gator to fix the issue. 

I'm hoping there aren't more holes in the fence. This keeping an eye on all the dogs through thirty acres is a little much! Have a great weekend!

There were better pics of Callie today, but I always get a chuckle at how watchful mama is with her youngest. 

More Rain

I'm not complaining about the rain. We need the rain. Do we need it all at once in a week? Probably not, but I'm still not going to complain. My animals are all drenched, but only the donkeys are complaining about that. The others just complained when the hay finished out. 

We're not talking about there was absolutely no hay, of course. There's plenty of good hay they've dropped on the ground from the feeder. But no, my animals don't want that hay. The minute Flora grabbed the last chunk, they started mooing about how we were starving them. No, they're not spoiled at all. 

I've got to recycle a pic tonight. I have no interest in even trying to make my drenched animals look cute right now. 

Foggy Day

You know, sometimes I've got the best pups in the world. Other times, they make me question my own sanity. 

Today, we were extremely foggy all day. Think Silent Hill foggy. Like the postman though, our dogs go out no matter what the weather. This afternoon though, only two came back. 

The Knuckleheads, our nickname for Teddy and Tootsie, decided to disappear in the fog. They didn't come back through my calling like they normally do. Fair enough, I've got such a quiet voice (haha) maybe they didn't hear me through the fog. Off Rob goes in the mule to rustle them up, but yet he couldn't find them. So then, panic starts to set in. He leaves the property in the truck while I still call. Out of nowhere, Tootsie appears. One down, one to go. 

Rob was gone for awhile now and still no sign of Teddy Bear. I go inside to start putting on my mud boots, because it's mega muddy out there, and when I look back at the door, there he is! What's more, other than his paws he was dry as a bone! I have no idea where that fool was, but I guarantee you it was nearby. He gets wetter than a fish usually outside!
