Saturday Jan. 1

The first day of the new year ... sunny and warm, gets up to a high of 75 degrees! Morning run, feed and kennel, back out again, now its very very windy ... but warm. Take down Christmas decorations from gates, dogs helping ... back in for lunch and naps ... the Damcat saunters in to the kitchen, at least now I can get all dogs, even Banshee, to sit for treats while i throw the Damcat a treat down the hall... starts clouding up after lunch, rain is on the way ... load dogs into van and go to BiLo, return ... husband goes to kennels to fill in huge hole Corey has dug almost collapsing is doghouse, starts raining ... I fall asleep on couch while reading, awakened by Corey's nose in my face, he needs to go out and of course its raining... get up to let him out, notice that dear sweet Banshee has gotten a cushion, tore off the corner, removed the stuffing and is rolling in it ... get that cleaned up, let Corey back in, dripping wet, husband then comes in ... dripping wet ... get everyone dried off, settling back down again when Banshee jumps Snoopy over a toy ... (apparently she has gotten too revved up over her cushion disemboweling episode) ... DB jumps up and rushes over, I put all three of them out,... its almost dark anyway, get food, go to kennels, feed and kennel.
