Sunny and Bright

DateThursday, May 28, 2026 at 4:58PM

Here is the gallery.

Forest is visiting to get spruced up. What you can't see is the brown in his coat. His colouring is a throwback to many generations back. You rarely see this display of colour.

He had an amazing amount of fun. Winston was also here playing like a crazy dog.

I went into the pool house to get my blower and I heard movement. I shut the door - the chicken I am and sent Dennis to get it and tell me what it was. It was a chipmunk. I feel better. LOL

Looks like our air conditioner has completely died. They want $6800 for a new one or 5 grand to repair as it needs a motor. If anyone has some fans we can borrow - please... till we figure it out. The pool heater is about the same amount - a bit less so not going to open till next year. With taxes it is about 15 grand they want between the 2. Oh well... Frustrated is an understatement. 

I am also looking for cooling beds for the dogs that I can put in a freezer. 

Dogs head out after breakfast and stay outdoors with one of us in the shade. It is actually cooler out there. 

I am still grooming but using a blower. It takes longer but heat is too much. This just blows cool air around. It takes me an extra half hour but appreciated by dog and me. I am hoping it gets cold. - so laughing... Besides, I need the grooming for these expenses. LOL

Dogs had fun today. I used a lot of games to have them enjoy. It is Dennis day off. Tomorrow is Nathan's day off.
