Because of life getting in the way lately, I’ve gotten behind on my responsibilities around the house. Yesterday I finally vacuumed our first floor – first the tiled areas and then the carpeted ones. I have a very nice vacuum. The only thing it could do better would be for it to run itself. (We actually HAD one of the round turn-it-on-and-it-runs-around type thingies at one time. It would regularly get stuck under something or wedge itself into a corner, or choke itself to death on the dog and cat hair, so we gave it up.)
Another thing I had neglected was the aquarium. I finally cleaned that out yesterday, putting in different decorations, clean water, new filters, etc. The fish didn’t say anything, but breathed sighs of relief when I put them back in their now clean home.
Here you can see all four of the fish. We have one that has gotten huge – they were all about the same size when I bought them – about an inch long. The largest one is now at least three inches long in the body, and then has a long tail. All seem to be doing fine.
Somehow, the girl-in-the-bathtub’s feet broke off quite a while back. I glued them back on and the fish don’t seem to mind it that she isn’t perfect.
I’m not sure if the weather will cooperate and I can finish getting the garden back in control or if I’ll have to tackle more projects in the house today.
The best thing is that we have Lunch Bunch – our every Friday meal with long time good friends in about an hour. Our son will go with us today, and it’s been years since our friends have seen him. I look forward to the reunion.
Have a happy day!

Some days are like that. Good you have a break today. I felt like I worked all day yesterday and got very little actually done. Spent a good deal of time running back and forth outside while I’m potty training a 2 month old puppy.

I appreciate your words, Robin. Potting training is a full-time job, but one you will enjoy having accomplished for years to come. What kind of a puppy do you have?

A stray/abandoned beagle adopted us 2 weeks before she had a litter of 7 puppies. They were 8 weeks old the other day, We kept one and the rest went to a local no-kill shelter, where most already had adoption applications from a pet adoption event last Saturday. The shelter had asked me to send pictures last week. We were happy about that. We kept the mama too. It’s been 2 1/2 years since our Chessie died and we were having difficulty deciding on getting another dog. I’m glad the mama adopted us. 🙂
