Looks like we might need to look into finding a round rock carpet cleaner to come in and take care of the carpets in the house since our 11 year old male Pug has had problems with his bladder control these past couple of months. Poor guy isn’t doing so well and I knew he isn’t happy with the situation either. It really sucks to see him aging so quickly these past couple of years. We have had him a member of the family since he was 5 weeks old, the best dog we ever have had the pleasure of owning.
The carpets have needed a good cleaning for some time, but we seem to keep putting it off for one reason or another and I guess now we really need to get them professionally cleaned before Memorial Day since we will be having our annual Memorial Day Weekend bar-b-q with over 20 people attending. The wife would be very unhappy with me if they all were to come over and see the house in such disarray and I don’t think that I could do the job justice with the home carpet cleaner that we have owned for even longer than our dog.
Have you noticed that the days are getting longer? Spring is definitely here, no matter what the calendar says. One of the things that I dislike the most about winter is the shorter days and longer nights. Used to be that I had to take the trash to the curb in the dark – it didn’t matter if it was the night before the trash collectors came, or the morning of – my work schedule was such that it was dark in the winter both coming and going. Our long driveway doesn’t have lights so taking the trash out in the dark was/is a pain in the neck. And letting the dogs out at night I’d always wonder if there might be a skunk or a porcupine in the yard that they might go after. Yes, I like the longer days much better.
I think it is so funny how I stumble on stuff on youtube – I found this video of a cat that eats with a fork, spoon, and chopsticks. At the table with his humans. This cat has better table manners than some of my relatives!
The Animal Planet is really coming out with some pretty decent show lately one being Pit Boss and the other being Pit Bulls and Parolees. With Pit Bulls getting so much negative press as of late, it is good to see some thing like what these shows have to say about the world’s most misunderstood breed.
I have to hand it to The Animal Planet that is drawing attention to the issue of the slaughtering of and the harvesting of dolphins all around the world. There new TV show Blood Dolphins is a good show for all to see and I hope that by bringing this issue for us to see that some thing will done about this horrific issue that so many people are not aware of.
