Smoke and Dogs.
So the neighbors across the street who I like, have a dog. And they have friends with dogs. So the friends come by now and bring their dogs, and the dogs all go romping and playing in the side yard which is fenced in by a flimsy plastic fence, which has already suffered many broken slats. Then the neighbors come by with other dogs to play.. and soon there are four or more dogs playing in and around the area. Some are pit bull types, some are not friendly. Add to that the fire pit that they didn't seem to use all last year, but now that we are in a drought and under fire warnings they pull out and crank up. Today the damn smell of smoke was horrible, coming right into my house. Usually that kind of eases up as your fire gets nice and hot, but not this one. I actually closed the windows and had a headache from the smoke. Lovely.
I'm waiting for something bad to happen.. a dog biting a kid or a huge dog fight or something. Not sure what it's going to be, but at this rate... it's going to be something.
Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 80's. I have to wonder how many marathoners will go down with this one? I'm out in my shorts today at 75' and I have to tell myself it's only April. April! Not May, not June... April. WTF???????
I went into the shed today and there were three or so wasps looking to make a home. Now I have to worry about that. I guess the wood must be shrinking and leaving gaps they can get into. Time for a wasp trap or something in there.
Got the kitties collars today. I was thinking about trying to let them out.. but now with dogville I'm getting leary again.. They don't like the collars.. the bells are driving them a bit buggy. But they do look cute. lol
