They Don't Seem to Mind

What a crazy week!  When Carl gets back next week he's getting a raise!  Who knew that it took two people to take care of this crazy crew?  Okay, I knew that already, but its been confirmed more than once over the past few days! 

I don't know which dog to feel most sorry for in Carl's absence.  Maybe Sandy?  He is given 3 different types of eye drops, 3 times daily.  He's so unlike our previous boy Tanner who also had glaucoma, and he's not that easy to give them to because he won't open his eyes.  Carl has somehow figured out the trick to easily do it, but me, I think Sandy is ending up with more on his face than in his eyes...But he doesn't seem to mind...  

Maybe I should feel sorry for Sheba?  She had burs all tangled between her front leg and chest.  I noticed them on Wednesday evening.  But I forgot about them and remembered this morning to cut them out.  

She didn't seem to mind ...

Lucas also makes the list of dogs to feel sorry for.  This morning he was having a little problem breathing--He was coughing and sneezing and kept swallowing and inhaling through his mouth.  I stayed with him for a while, hoping it would pass.  It didn't, but he seemed comfortable enough so I left him alone for just a few minutes, while I took care of something else.  When I came back, Lucas had a long blade of grass sticking out his nose. 

 Of course I removed it, cleaned up his slightly bloodied nose.  He didn't seem to mind...

Another one who may deserve some sympathy is CC.  She somehow got left outside last night. But just like the dogs, she didn't seem to mind ...  

Trying to get everything done does take a lot of time.  We try to stick to a schedule and together Carl and I get the dogs fed around 8 o'clock in the evening. Even though they always get a snack when either Carl or I get home, it's still more 12 hours since their previous meal.  Last night they didn't get their snack or dinner until about 9 o'clock--They didn't seem to mind ... 

Today I'm grateful for the easy going nature of our crew.  And even though things may be out of sync this week, they don't seem to mind...
