The long weekend is over.
*I took off Monday, so I had Sat-Tues off. Yay me! Yesterday felt like a Sunday, for some reason, though, so I kept thinking I needed to go to work the next day. lol
*Did a lot of work and errands. Slept like shit the first two nights because of Sally and the fireworks. Last night wasn't bad, though.
*Saturday morning I took Sally to the vet. Apparently everyone else and (literally) their dog had the same idea. After almost two hours, turns out that she has a partial tear of her left hind knee. Apparently she wants to be like her mom. *Sigh* The vet gave me some Prevacox anti-inflammatory, and some more pain meds just in case. She wanted me to keep Sally from being too active, and I thought 'gee, she's in so much pain, she won't go anywhere.' /famous last words.
*Saturday evening I was brought to the neighbor's to retrieve her from their porch. She had jumped the fence due to fireworks. (Silas hadn't gone under because I put up some electric cord that afternoon at his dig spot) So I stuffed her in the garage.
Well, after she had stopped cowering, apparently, she got bored. She ate part of a sheet rock sheet, destroyed the safety sensors for the door opener, and moved around a bunch of other stuff. Hopefully my weed eater still works.
*Sunday I stayed home all day, but spent time cleaning out the storage room in the red barn. OMG gross! An inch of dirt, cobwebs, nails, wood pieces, bugs, vines, termites. Joy. I wore a mask when I swept up the nails.
It's not clean clean, but everything is out of there except the built in shelves. I only saved an electric saw (that I promptly gave to charity because it's been there so long and they can check it before they sell it), a large trash can, and two small buckets. Filled the dumpster with crap.
*Sunday I also cleaned the giant dog crate that had been living in the barn so I could put it on the porch. That night, I trapped Sally in it in order to keep her in the yard.
*Monday bought a new dog crate to replace the one she broke the night before. Probably just old plastic.
*However, Monday night she stayed in her dog box next to Silas in his the whole evening. I kept checking with my phone light, which probably drove them nuts (the openings are only a few feet from the window I sit near). But I was ready to put her ass in that crate to keep from hurting herself more.
I wonder if giving her the pain meds the two nights before may have had something to do with it? Or helped her crazy? Who knows.
*Today I actually saw Sally walk! Now I know she has been because I keep seeing her in different places and positions, but it was nice to see it in progress. The Prevacox seems to be helping.
Neither of them are eating much in the heat, but they are drinking.
*Also fixed the electric fence in the back pasture this morning so I can let the horses back there tomorrow. The little metal things that linked pieces had failed in the storms. My fix this time was to tie them. Very redneck, but secure. lol Hopefully it works enough to discourage her highness.
*Today during our riding lesson, Kate kicked our asses. *dies of the work* lol
