Got a nasty comment on Facebook last night that it was my fault that the major at the dogshow on Saturday got broken and she thought that I should have announce that on Facebook earlier that I wouldn’t go because she was traveling from a long distance. Those kinds of comments is something that I really hate. First of all. I intended to go and try to make it there and trix with my schedule as much as I could. But Chief wouldn’t let me off the whole day since I was the only animal control officer on duty so I got off at noon. The show was in Fort Worth, that is 1 hour 30 minute drive for me. I had a plan, to bring DRM with me to work, let him be with me in the morning and go right from work to the show but I knew it would be tight. The Dalmatians was showing somewhere between 1 and 2pm, can’t remember the exact time. That means that one single thing on the way would have ruined all the plans. It could be an accident on the way, an adoption or what ever. Thinking about the situation I figured, DRM would be so tired when he got to the show so he would not be able to perform. I would come right from work, stressed to get to Fort Worth in time, change clothes, find the ring and then perform on top of that? Is that fair to DRM? or to me? Yes, if I made it in time it would be fair to the other participants because we would perform so bad… On top of that, all buggs I could have pulled with me both from the show and from work… So I decided on FRIDAY that I wouldn’t even go for it. But it wasn’t until then I did my final decision. I didn’t know that it was required that you had to post everything you decide to do on Facebook so people, that I barely know didn’t have to travel so far even if they were probably already in town! Sorry. I don’t regret my decision nor am I sorry for breaking the major. If you are mad at me, you might talk to my boss about not letting me off when requested. I still took the hours I got off because I needed it and it was nice to have that afternoon off. I even had to stay longer at work than I should, just because the adoption that never ended as an adoption. But if I had to run and was in a short time limit, I would have been missing it anyway and what would that have led to? Me pissed off, waste of gas (now I only “wasted” the entry fee) and everything just a mess anyway. Why should I??? And yes, I unfriend you on Facebook because I really don’t like that kind of attacks on my life and my decisions. And I am not sorry for that either!
We had really nice weather today too! I started the day with letting the doghouse out. The horses was in the barn and wanted some attention so I started to groom them. Dallas, as always is the one that wants all attention. I had a scissor close by so I started to trim their manes while I was grooming. So now they all look like they are pretty good horses. I have to do Hanniball still, he was long gone when I was done with the girls. I got tired of waiting I guess… or he wasn’t in for a groom…
Edited some more pictures from the race… gosh, they are so many so I don’t know what project I started with them. I would need to sit and edit a whole day but with this weather and everything I have to do ~ that won’t happen. It will have to take it’s time, as simple as that.
I also mowed the front of the property and between the houses today. It was a very productive day. It was fun being back in the tractor. I really enjoy farmlife. Wish I could do it all day long and get paid for it but it isn’t that easy… but it is fun to do it anyway and when the weather is like today, it is even more fun! And it always looks better when it is mowed. Can someone answer me why the horses like to eat the grass better when it is short than when it is long? That would be very interesting to know! Now they have choices. Half the farm has long grass, half has short… I will try to think about where they are the most…
So, this day has been pretty productive after all… Took a nap here in the afternoon, that was very nice. I got a good hour of sleep. Will now bring in the doghouse and change the dogs at home, take a shower and head to bed. Wonder what I will see at work tomorrow since they called now and asked where to put a dog they just brought in… OMG, I think the shelter is packed with dogs! I know that I will do overtime tomorrow due to a meeting at 7 pm so I know that I won’t write a blog… Don’t know when I get home from there but hopefully not too late… might have to go home on my lunch to change the dogs… will see how I solve that… always something to think about and do…

Just the feeling of waking up and not have anything to do was wonderful. I didn’t have to be at work at 10 am. The court could have called but they haven’t done so far and I doubt that they will now, it is 2:55pm. Been doing a little bit of blogging to the shelter. Updating some pictures etc. Mom and I went to Walmart and got some groceries and this little squirrel was welcoming us when we came home… It is not often you can take pictures of them, they are usually pretty fast to take off. But he had a nice time.
Need the money to the property taxes since they didn’t allow us to be a farm last year and our property tax raised in the sky. But it was sad to know that this might be the last time I used it…
even if we live close to Forney but we were never in any danger. The weather was bad enough without hail and tornadoes! I was at work and I could tell that the dogs had been scared, they all slept like babies when I got home and it was over!
