Tedious. One yappy dog, another with arthritis, 3 cats, two of which have been sick while I'm here, the occasional mysterious dog poop or cat pee/vomit appearing on rugs and other places from time to time, and a garden that's almost more trouble than the animals, more time consuming, anyway. The garden's not doing too badly considering I don't have a green thumb, I've got the Black Thumb of Death, but so far the only problems I've got are two rose bushes with some black rot on the leaves which the fungicide doesn't seem to be curing, and I almost killed one basil plant by overwatering. God, I haven't lived in a house since 1968 for crying out loud! Anyway, I'm way behind on my work, so I'll see you next week.
I can't wait to get back to my apartment with my own pets, the silverfish and cockroaches so kindly provided by my landlord! :^)
miss you, arghy! i will send xspup to assist with your gardening chores....he completely disemboweled one of the planters i have on the front steps, disgorging all of the mangled plants and dirt out of it. i think that extending the electric fence to include the front landscaping is the answer. xshub thinks that the murder of xspup is the answer. another screaming fight was had. i wonder how often pets are a grounds for divorce.....
