It was windy outside this morning, which is typical, because we were planning on spraying the diseased tree while the air was cool and still. And it’s neither.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mid-morning I went out to check on the trees to make sure they were still standing vertically, and I noticed a dog huddled between the wall of our house and the air conditioning units. He seemed pretty unhappy, bleeding from his foreleg and with raw patches on his nose and ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had a chain with a broken end, and looked kind of neglected. I gave him some water but I don’t think he drank any. That’s a worry, because it was 90\u00c2\u00b0 outside and he must have needed some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We called Animal Control and they came and took him away. The control officer said he was a “Mixed Chow, about 4 years old – still a puppy really. The raw patches are fly bites.” He’s gone to the Lied Animal Shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll put some notices up on the mailboxes and see if anyone knows anything, but I really don’t think he is from around here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the afternoon, PC Club rang up to say that the Twins were ready. That was quick! At around 4:30 we drove down to pick them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This evening and tomorrow we expect to be installing software and transferring files. We’re going to call them Castor and Pollux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
