I Really Do Enjoy Painting

Feeling quite accomplished today. HeWho loves errands took Charming Eddie and Mr. Bo Jangles to the vet very early for their special operations. I was already into the laundry and poop pick-up in preparation for mowing.

Everything seemed to go quicker without Bo demanding that I stop to play and I completed my task in record time. I painted one side of the front of the building. I had lots of signs and decor to remove and clean as I made my way along. This could have been painted with a sprayer, but I chose to brush it on. It is rough cedar and not easy to paint, but I exceeded my goal.

I am pleasantly tired now. I still need a shower, but chose to sit here a bit to comfort Cujo and Toni Louise. Two sad faces greeted me when I came in. Cujo is distressed about Eddie being gone. Toni Louise misses Bo. She has no one to quarrel with. Cujo refuses to participate. 

The vet called to report on the surgeries. Eddie managed to avoid the loss of his manhood. The rash on his belly that was thought to be a yeast infection that was requiring the every other day bath and the use of the spray can of "Jock Itch" on his under carriage turned out to be a bacterial infection. No incision for this little guy. Instead he got a shot of antibiotics and a sleepover with Bo who did get an incision to remove his testosterone. 

I am sure Bo will appreciate the comfort of Eddie's presence, since he has never slept away from me before. They will come home tomorrow morning and will have a joyful reunion with their dog siblings.

Now, I hear a shower calling my name to be followed by a nice freshly made bed where I will dream of painting the other side of the building.

I enjoy painting as well. I find it satisfying and I do my best thinking, while I paint.

Well earned, too.

Tomorrow morning will be very noisy as the pups all reunite.

You certainly deserve some time to enjoy doing what you want to do. The boys will be glad to be back home, and I know you will baby them. Enjoy the weekend.

I hope Cujo can explain to Eddie how lucky he was. THIS time...
