I bring the dog in to feed him.  I make him lay down on his bed.  Fill the bowl up and call him over to eat.  Something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.  Dog bed getting covered in blood.  Carpet covered with bloody paw prints.  Out! 

He cut himself on something in the back yard.  Who knows what or where, hopefully won't happen twice.  This was not a cut on the paw pads, but in the cavity behind it.  It was a large cut, but I figured it would eventually stop bleeding. Got some peroxide to clean it out.  An hour later and it's still bleeding. Gag.  I run over to the park, unload some stuff that was filling the SUV up, had a conversation with a new person, then tried to leave before being flagged down by someone else, finally got out of there and home.

The bleeding had increased since I left, not gone down.  I ended up taking him to my vet at the animal hospital.  
The man put some staples in there, cleaned it up nicely, gave me some antibiotics and pain meds to give him, we came home. Shoved those pills down his throat and now? I guess the pain medicine must be making him drowsy because he's out on Addler's old bed.  Oh, also picked up Addler's ashes that have been ready forever.  

He's fine, there is no more bleeding, they put some bandages around it anyway to keep the puss off the flooring and such, told me to take it off tomorrow.  

That's been my quite unproductive day today.  Well, I did go to the bank when I was coming back from the park, I don't like carrying around hundred dollar bills. It's one thing to lose a dollar bill, quite another to lost a $100.  

That's it, really.  Instead of figuring out the problem with the shower stall, this is all that I have gotten done and now that it's late afternoon, I'm not going to bother with it. I'll either do it tomorrow or head over Monday to cut out some drywall and see what needs to be replaced.  

I also checked the lot where the man is past due on his rent, the QuikTrip worker. Not there.  Someone told me today they haven't seen anyone over there at all in a while.  I agree, I don't see them over there either.  They may have left town and just didn't say anything about it. I did print out a letter for the guy, but I forgot to take it over with everything that was going on.  I also reset the outside camera, that thing hasn't been recording anything and it's getting annoying.  It seems to have worked at least.  

That's enough for now. The dog is fine.  

 Friday - morning

The laptop is on it's last leg.  It takes forever to start up, it's slow, I could try setting default and I may do that, but it's something like 6 years old and unfortunately, it's time to replace it. I found one at Best Buy for $157.  No frills, I don't need frills,  I just need to be able to do the park on it.  Bring up the campground software so I can process credit cards on-property.  I don't need a gaming computer and a cheap thing might tide me over until I can get something a little better.  

The battery doesn't last very long on it either.  Start using it and in 30 minutes the battery is down to 60% or less.  Takes hours to charge it back up.  The computer actually gave a warning about it being an "older" laptop.  That doesn't matter to me, usability does.  

10 day countdown to Oregon.  I'll just leave that there,

Mayor Adams of New York.  New York is a sanctuary city!  Now, New York city will be destroyed! Lmao.  Just like the Defund The Police nonsense, these people are completely clueless.  Did they think they would be immune to the effects of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people illegally crossing the border?  "21,00 New Migrant Students Enroll in NYC" is one of the headlines as they grapple with the overwhelming results of an open border. 

Biden wants to keep them in Texas.  This is what I heard in the news yesterday, some action that will force them to stay in Texas replete with ankle monitors. The Biden era can't end soon enough.  

It's amazing how many people on the internet that are Democrats are now embracing Communism.  Point out the historical failures of every single Communist nation and they will all dismiss it.  They hate capitalism because of the "abuses" the owners of companies/corporations and landlords dump on the people that work for them or live on their properties.  In other words, these people are poor, broke, have no desire to work and want society to pay for them. They don't care about the consequences to America for they only see from the bottom up.  

Or something like that.  

My 80 or so bug bites are - making themselves known in terms of itching.  Ridiculous on my part, to forget a basic staple of hiking in those particular woods: bug spray on my clothing.  

The dog is outside.  He does not like me putting him out the back door and leaving him out there. Too bad, so sad, get used to it. I'm not going to babysit his pee/poop rituals. I've said NO! very firmly at the door when he starts whining and yelping. He doesn't like that at all.  If he wants to stand at the door, that's his choice, but he's not going to do so making all of that noise. 

He is doing well for the most part.  The kids like him, the adults like him, he gets along with everyone, just one of the cat is clearly unhappy with the dog's presence.  Just had to go scold him for yelping, barking and making noise at the door. Unacceptable!  

Finances are "hanging in there".  Collecting another $400 yesterday for lot 11 was helpful, now I just need to catch up with these 2 people that came in last month. One of them is 2 days past due.  I am going to print up a notice to leave on the door if they aren't there again.  I have received no reply to the email I sent.  

Well, shower and shave later, it's time to go over there and get some of that drywall removed so I can assess the water leakage problem.
