THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 104 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON SO I DECIDED THAT I NEED TO POST A PHOTO THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL A BIT COOLER THAN 104!
I HAVE BEEN "HOUSE SITTING" FOR THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS SINCE LAST THURSDAY AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH FUN I HAVE BEEN HAVING! OKAY, YOU PROBABLY GUESSED IT...THEY HAVE 2 HORSES. THEY ALSO HAVE 2 DOGS AND A PRECIOUS 17 YEAR OLD CAT.

THEY DO HAVE THE MOST WELL BEHAVED ANIMALS THAT ARE A JOY TO BE AROUND...EVERY ONE OF THEM. THE HORSES RETURN FROM THEIR STAY IN THE PASTURE WHEN I CALL THEM, THE DOGS FOLLOW ME AROUND LIKE THEY HAVE KNOWN ME ALL THEIR LIVES. AND THAT PRECIOUS CAT...SHE LOVES TO CUDDLE INTO ME WHEN I CARRY HER TO HER FOOD DISH EACH DAY. AND THE OWNERS HAVE THEIR PLACE SET UP SO EVERY CHORE IS VERY EASY TO DO AND TAKES ME VERY LITTLE TIME. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKE BEING AROUND ANIMALS SO I REALLY HATE TO SEE THIS VENTURE END TOMORROW. BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME HORSEBACK RIDING INVOLVED IN THE COMING WEEKS SO THAT'S GREAT PAY BACK FOR ME!!! JW SPENT PART OF THE DAY REPAIRING SOME OF THE BACK DECK. THERE ISN'T ANY RAIN GUTTERS ON THE DECK SO WHEN IT RAINS IT FALLS DIRECTLY ON THE BOARDS AT THE STAIRS GOING OUT INTO THE BACK YARD. THEY HAD BECOME ROTTEN AND HE WAS AFRAID WE MIGHT FALL THROUGH AND GET HURT. SO THE DECK IS BACK IN REPAIR AND LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER.
