Heya Sweetie,
Though it didn’t intentionally start out that way, today turned out to be mostly all about Lola! After a good night sleep, chores and breakfast, I noticed when she was rolling on her back to scratch that she had a bunch of fleas on her. That surprised me because I had put flea treatment on her about 10 days ago, and didn’t expect to see them, so I bathed her and sprayed her well with some flea spray. Then I decided to work on her GoDogGo machine. I had brought it out of storage last week, but it wasn’t working right, so I decided to see if I could fix it. The switch that you press to take it from stand-by to how many seconds delay between throwing the ball wasn’t working. I look it apart, tried to clean it, but it all seemed to be about the circuit board, so I tried to put a little more solder on it, and that seemed to have a minor effect. I put it together a couple of times before I got it right. It worked for about one throw, then the ball sensor wasn’t working, which I knew already was going bad, but since I bought a bunch of extras, I went ahead and replaced that, and then it started working beautifully! I was almost tempted to not turn it on because she’s still limping a little bit, but she hasn’t gotten any exercise so I decided to try it. Her leg does seem to be a bit better, and she did play for a bit, but not too long, fortunately. Then I dragged her big bed out side, gave it a thorough spray to get rid of the fleas, then once it was dry, I sewed up some long rips that she had scratched into it. I took out the interior padding last week, she kept chewing it into small pieces and scattering it all over, so I figured I was better off without it. So sans padding, I sewed up all the long scratched, sprayed it well with Febreze, and finally got it back into position in the laundry room. I had managed to do one load today, so fresh sheets tonight! I probably should have gotten out the sewing machine to do that job, but that bed is so big and cumbersome, I figured it would be easier to do by hand, though it took a long time, like everything else today. I had a couple of riders come in, ones I had met on the Cracker Ride, and they were out a bit later than planned, I was starting to worry we had another case of lost riders, but they made it back just after 5:00, fortunately. Lynda went out with her friends day riding, but came back here for the night, so she’s here. The place is mostly empty now, though one guy with a really large, triple-axle trailer came in, he’s scheduled to be here a few days. So that was about all the excitement for today, I settled down to my binge-watching for a few hours, got my evening chores done, and it’s time for shower and bed once again! Getting to be a pretty mundane life these days! Probably a good thing, for a little bit at least. Anyway, good night, my darlin’! Love you!
