Was out doing yardwork, and I had to clear some brush. So far I have discovered two deer ticks on my body. I hate, hate, hate ticks! Need to douse myself with DEET before I do that again.
I wonder if they make a sunscreen with DEET? I have a wicked sunburn, I think

The morning ritual of walking the dogs a mile or two continues, and it makes the dogs happy and compliant early in the day.
The youngest dog is starting to mellow out a bit.
What is it with people trying to "set you up" when they find out you are going through a divorce?
I have no interest in dating at the moment. Zero, zip, nada. For one thing, my D won't be final until late July/early August, and for another... I have things I want to do for myself right now (changes I want to make) that are just far easier to do if I don't have to worry about dating and crap like that
I feel like I am in a crysalis state: change is happening, and I don't want to interupt it now.

Yesterday, a registration renewal form from the County Clerk's office arrived for my STBXW's SUV.
I sent an email letting her know that the mail forwarding period had apparently expired, and her registration renewal came here.
This morning I see she sent a reply yesterday to my email asking where and when I'd like to bring this to her.
Rolling my eyes so people in the back row of the theater can see me do it.
I think she needs a serious reality check. As if I have nothing better to do than to meet her someplace to give her stuff like we are doing some kind of drug deal or something.
I responded that I am too busy (which is basically true, and I am on call this week to boot). Women.

Youngest dog has me worried. For the last two days she wants to lay outside by herself in the blazing heat. Sudden behavior change. Don't understand.
Hey Time, have you seen any physical changes? Like is she still eating, urinating, regular BMs?
If you're concerned, why don't you take her to the vet, just to be sure? If there's nothing physically wrong, there's still lots of things that can be done to help a dog deal with stress. For example, our vet gave our one pup a natural herb to help with her stress over car travel. She'd really flip out - shaking, hyper-salivating, wild eyes, the works. And the herb really did help.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
She eats, but she used to eat as much as you would give her, and now she mostly seems suddenly uninterested in food.
I think that's a really good thing about the BMs and urination. I think I'd still take her in for a quick check though, given the change in her interest in food.
Oh, but are 'not solid' BMs normal for her? Do you think she might be having trouble digesting her normal food? That might explain her listlessness too - just low on energy or a stomach ache? Sometimes all it might take is introducing a milder, almost bland food that takes less work to digest. Waltham's (?) has an excellent soft chicken & rice formula. Our little guy got Parvo just after we adopted him, and that's what we used to coax his appetite back afterwards.
