Dog house

My trip home last night had three stops, Costco, Sam’s and then Publix.  I needed items from all three retailers to complete this week’s grocery needs.  I typically attend to groceries on a Friday, this week they were pushed a day earlier because I am picking up the dogs after work.  They will be staying out at the house for the next week while Ali is away on a trip to Costa Rica.  One of the things I bought was a big pack of boneless chicken breast to be added to their meals.  Cindy cooked it all last night resulting in two huge containers of boiled chicken to be kept in our already very full fridge.

Dog sitting during the week has become more complicated since the neighbor that used to let them out for me told me because of her poor health she didn’t want to be relied on any longer.  Ali has told me that the dogs, specifically Nicki now can be left home pretty much all day without having any accidents in the house.  For awhile Nicki couldn’t go more than 4-5 hours without having an issue.  So my plan is between Cindy leaving later than I do for work and me getting permission to leave work a little early, I can have the girls safely go nine hours in between bathroom breaks.

I have a lot of things to keep me busy this weekend.  The grass needs full attention and I have a number of other things outside of normal maintenance that can keep me as busy as I can tolerate.
