Tom, there are no shelters in the area that are taking animals right now. There's a dog pound but they keep the animals in horrible condition and they have a wait list of at least 30 dogs. They don't take anything other than dogs. Nowhere in the parish takes cats. People in this area don't care about animals much. We have a lot of problems with abuse and neglect.
I visited again and puppy seems happy outside but I worry she'll get run over. I almost hope someone will steal her if they treat her better.
I cleaned litterboxes, cleaned toolboxes, reorganized stuff, chased puppies around trying to get them to behave, helped my friend put up the 10' pole with the satellite dish. Turned out to be harder than we expected. Took 3 people. Turns out the eaves are not that strong so the pole wobbles. Got 100' paracord to tether to the chimney on one side and car port on the other. Need a more permanent solution. I'm thinking
Amazon.com: (Pack of 2) Directv Long Braces for J Mount with 2" OD Clamps Support Arms Monopoles Ka/ku Slimline Struts : Electronics might help.
Put away ladders and cleaned up afterward while my brother whined about his foot. He dropped a ladder on my head when I was organizing my tools. I wasn't under the ladder or anything, my brother was messing around with it and lifted it up, lost control of it so it fell behind him and caught me with the top rung. My friend was worried but I told him its ok bc I'm hard-headed.
Had to make 2 trips to TSC to get stuff. Then went back in with my friend to buy him some groceries so he could have something to eat.
So, satellite no longer has obstructions but it starts to loose signal due to the pole moving a little. It seems to be holding up better right now. We get lag spikes but no disconnects thus far.
I cooked hamburger stroganoff and added sauteed mushrooms, which made Mom happy.
Got one of the puppies put up in the front room-- he wouldn't get off my bed so I had to pick him up and carry him-- and he's getting big now. Not sure where the other one is.
I think I need a nap now.
