State Fair and Humongous trees

There's a Mexican man yelling outside my house..

So they're finally starting working on the second tree in between ours and our neighbors house. This one's harder as it is probably 2-3ft wide REALLY tall and 10 ft on either side away from a house. I'll be really surprised if they don't leave a dent in one of the roofs.

So I'm going downstairs and probably outside just to be safe! Until they take a lunch break at least.

This week is band camp! arghh.. rehearsals from 1-9 all week and I have to work on Friday.

But work hasn't been bad at all. I worked for the first time this summer last Friday and it was a lot easier than I expected. I dogs were all pretty nice and not as crazy as usual.

Elsie doesn't like all the noise the tree people are making outside. But she had a whole lot of fun on Saturday representing Central Bark at the WI State Fair. She got a load of pets and got to lick lots of faces. She was thrilled at all the livestock animal smells! Could you imagine? A Springer tracking dog smell overload! She slept all yesterday and gets to catch up on her missed naps today while I'm out.

Odie wasn't thrilled Elsie got to go to work and to the fair. But I knew as soon as I would get Odie there she would freak out. It was for the better that she didn't go. :(

Nah nah nah nah...

I've got some music stuck in my head. So I just went on an unwanted run with Odie. She needed to go outside because she hasn't been out all morning. So I let her out on the leash, she does her business, and runs back onto the deck. I unclip the leash before going in to get her treat and she decides to ROCKET in the opposite direction and goes running rampant through the back yards. She's got a bad case of the Zoomies.

The "Zoomies" are when any kind of dog no matter where they are or what they're supposed to be doing just go nuts and start running. Running where? no where.. Just running and running. Saying the word 'come' nothing.. Yelling 'treats', 'chow', 'squeaker' nothing..

So basically I had to follow her as she ran through the backyards (barefoot by the way). Eventually she got to the end of the houses where there's a hidden house on a private drive and I got her going towards home and chased her so she would run in the right direction. I knew she wouldn't go past the house on the other side because the neighbors were out and she dislikes going by them at all costs. She was really hot by then and jumped into the kiddie pool to get a drink. Then I chased her up the deck and snatched her :)

Now she's protesting in her crate by barking her head off until someone lets her out.. but she's being punished so she's gonna have to deal with it.

Hopefully I don't have to go into work. Apparently I'm on the schedule and I haven't gotten a schedule.. so I kind of wasn't expecting it.. Also I don't have a car.. no car = no ride? So I can't get there.. poo.. I was planning on helping the youth theater this weekend so that would screw things up.


Did I mention it's 85 degrees outside? -dies-
