A Date with Sams

After work there was a very necessary trip needed to Sams for dog food, dog rawhide chews, dog biscuits, bread, milk, coffee, lettuce, and a rotisserie baked chicken for us people for dinner. These dogs are getting expensive, like $94.29 expensive! Emma is still in the chewing stage and we are trying to encourage her to chew ONLY the dog treats instead of furniture, shoes, door frames, cupboards, table legs and just about anything else she can wrap her teeth around. Now to be honest this all started when we left as a family for a week in Gulf Shores. We hired a dog sitter that didn't know Mastiff puppies and came home to chewed up furniture, cupboards, doors and shoes. She has been crated, locked in the hallway, left outside in the fenced in yard and she always seems to find ways to escape and something to destroy. She is just so cute someone will come inside and accidentally let her out, then forget to lock her back up.
The rawhide bones are 9 inches long and last only a few hours. Buying them in bulk is the only way to go. We figure they are cheaper than replacing all our furniture.
At the farm this morning Sally and her new filly were checked and fed. The filly is looking really good, filling out, stretching out and wow did she learn how to run during the night. When Sally saw me coming they ran from the bottom of the paddock up to the gate full blast, the filly kept right up with her mama.
Savanna, Sandy's mare is still in season but she was bred yesterday so we walked Raven right past her paddock and over to Jackie, Heather's mare. Jackie squealed snorted then ran away so she is still not ready.
Eva Jean and I had a busy day at work but finishing in good time. We went to Denny's for lunch. Only Spark and Dan joined us, Mark was out helping Philip on a job.
Karin got the cotton candy machine delivered to Concession specialists today. They told her they are way backed up and it may not get done for a month. We need it early June for Vacation Bible School at the church. They will call us with an estimate, sure hope the estimate comes back reasonable and it will be a quick repair.
