THE DAY
John is coming home later tonight. I will not stay up. It will be three hours after my normal bedtime. Too late.
It will be good to have the family back together.
Today was pretty good.
Booker and I did not do the normal Sunday threesome walk because we were a twosome.
We got back and I cleaned the fountain. It is a complicate process but not very difficult. Turn it off, disconnect the tubes between the pump and the feeder tube that goes up through the center.
Backflush that tube out with a live hose. Nozzle to the top.
Then siphon off the water. I can usually get a good bit of the leaves and dirt out as the siphon has a pretty good suction on it.
Then, in the warm months, starting now, wipe out the algae that has collected on the fountain. Wipe out all remaining water with rags or a big sponge.
Done.
Then, Booker and I went to PetSmart to get his food for, well I don't know how long it lasts. 60 pounds. I am going to keep track.
Lots of dog biscuits and a walk through the toy aisle. He was not interested in anything and neither was I. Most of it is crap which will not last.
Of course, PetSmart allows dogs in the store.
I am not sure if I have ever taken him alone. Usually, all three go.
But it was OK. Once he gets in there he slows down and is pretty responsive. He will sit when I ask him to. Good dog.
So good, that I didn't decline the cashier's treat. We usually do. Not today.
Then we came home and filled the GI can and stowed the biscuits. Done.
The rest of the day we loafed. A movie. A usual day.
Nice.
No easter eggs.
