Summer is hard at work tearing up cardboard to recycle.

Here is Max cheesing it up for the camera. Normally, he is begging for a snack, but this time, he only wanted to be pet.

Summer is determined to find some fun on this drizzly early morning.
I explained that with no running water I can't really take her on an outside adventure. All of our adventure options require a shower or at least a spirited washing afterwards.
When she asked for some playtime on the stairs I just couldn't deny her.
I have found myself defending her presence in our household the past two weeks. I am positive that she isn't causing any of our current issues with bacteria. She is super healthy, we are careful about keeping her from licking her pal and she is kept as clean as is possible.
She isn't going anywhere.
So anyone who thinks otherwise is barking up the wrong tree.
My daughter has decided to intervene for us with the health department staff to explain that we keep a clean and orderly environment at our house.
I expect when our water is clean we will fall of everyone's radar again.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Day two with no running water.
There will be lots of clean up when the well is back up and running.
Yesterday the workers drained, cleaned and disinfected our 2,500 gallon holding tank. I used the water to give our rhododendrons and apple tree a good soak.
Par for the course something had to go wrong. It seems we have a breakdown in the electric connection needed to install the water filters. Lucky for us the plumber's brother-in-law is an electrician who agreed to come out this morning. The below ground wiring goes from our house two acres down the hill to the well. Hoping for the best...
In the mean time we are staying positive because the people working on this project seem determined to provide us with a safe functioning water system.
It will happen.
I have faith.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Some nights I sleep better than others.
Last night I worried instead of sleeping.
I know better but it's best to let my brain consider all of the possibilities and then move on again.
Since sleep wasn't happening I jumped up at first light to get Summer out for a much needed run.
All of our favorite spots were full of people who looked like they were camping. None of these places allow overnight so there's that.
We moseyed down the hill to our trail of last resort on Humboldt Bay. This trail is for hunters to access the bay but is deserted in the off season.
The tide was out so Summer stayed on the shore and out of the standing water.
She was a good girl and fun was had.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Summer blooper this morning.
She was so excited about her message she couldn't stay still.
We love our Canadian neighbors and are very sorry that the US sucks right now.
We had a great time on the beach.
I tried and tried but there was no wearing Summer out.
Good morning Mastodon.

Been away from Mastodon for a while. Life is odd. But I got my dog a grooming appointment, and she looks so respectable and innocent. (She isn’t!) :)

Sometimes Skye will pose for me!
Taken yesterday afternoon between the rain showers in the woods at Contin.
1. Met a friend for coffee and pastries at a local farm stop that’s walking distance from my house. A gorgeous morning to visit outside.
2. I found a dog toy in some random bag – no memory of buying it. When you squish the body, it makes a crinkling sound. My dog loves it and is now sleeping from all the excitement. (video attached)
3. Slept through the night last night. A full 7 hours of sleep – which is more than I typically get. Yay!
Kind of a long night and then off to the VA clinic early. They are trying to help us to stay out of the hospital this weekend.
Really nice people.
The deck builders came early so they could double as dog sitters while we went to town.
The deck floor has been installed and the stairs will be built Monday. The redwood for the railings/windbreak sides has been gifted to us and was milled from a fallen tree on a friend's property.
We are blessed.
The kindness and generosity of our friends and neighbors is humbling and uplifting.
Summer told them they could go home early today to have a nice weekend.
She is an excellent project supervisor.

Summer runs a tight ship.
If you want her to fetch something it requires a verbal request.
Once the details are ironed out she proceeds as directed.
Post haste.
Slippers are often requested items to fetch for her pal.
No matter where he left them last.
She knows.
She even supervises the application of the delivered slippers.
One of Summer's many well deserved titles is Slipper Procurement Manager.
She is so proud and happy to help.

Summer and I have been cleaning non stop since dawn. We've vacuumed, mopped, steam cleaned her pal's recliner, washed rugs, cleaned the refrigerator and started reorganizing the mess in our garage.
She finally said enough.
It seems that as a card carrying member of the Very Good Dog Union she is entitled to a periodic rest and cuddle break. Her pal was ready to accommodate. I just have to go along so I took a break too.
My husband has been feeling well enough to move around to stay out of the way. It feels good to feel good so he tells us.
Hope all of our Mastodon friends are having a spectacular Saturday.

À Budapest et en Hongrie de manière plus générale il y a beaucoup plus de points d'eau potable qu'en France. On en trouve dans tous les villages et ils sont assez bien référencés sur OSM.
Parfois ils sont aussi pensés pour nos compagnons à 4 pattes. Et beaucoup de cafés et restaurants ont une gamelle remplie d'eau devant leur porte.
