We’ve been busy here in Bear Creek, for sure.
Our Boston Terrier puppy, Baby, has been keeping us on our toes. She has had some vomiting issues to go along with the normal pee and poo “accidents” around the house. We’ve taken her to our great vet, Dr. Black, a couple of times just to make sure Baby wasn’t suffering from any major problem. Anyway, as we move well into our second week with the little darling, she seems to be doing better…fewer vomiting incidents. And, the 11 week-old dog has already mastered the doggie door and seems to be getting the idea that poo belongs outdoors. We’re confident that her house training will be totally completed before we go on our road trip at the end of May.
Here’s Baby in her crib:
Here she is in Jay Jay’s bed (something he hates!):
Here she is with Momma Charlie:
Speaking of The Boss, her work on 2016 taxes is now under full steam. She has about five dozen tax clients that will have to be serviced before April 15th. Of course, that is in addition to her bookkeeping clients. So, she and I have instituted an “early morning” protocol wherein we both get up at (usually) 4 a.m. and do a couple of hours of bookkeeping work before the dogs get up and the phone begins to ring. Lots of fun.
However, on the positive side, this work allows us to live a pretty high life. So, “Count your blessings!” definitely applies to us.
We recently got our motor home back from Temecula Valley RV, where it had been residing since December. We decided way back then to bite the bullet and replace all of the 11 year-old flooring (tile and carpet). The new flooring is predominantly wood composite, with new beige colored carpet in those areas that demand it (slide areas). We also remodeled the living room TV cabinet and replaced the TV with a new 40 inch HD flat screen.
The only problem that we currently have with the motor home is that it is stored out in Moreno Valley, which is a long drive (in heavy traffic) from Murrieta. We had to park it there after our 2016 road trip because none of the local RV storage properties had any 40′ spaces. Last week, my son Tim and I moved the rig out to the Moreno Valley site and, with an hour’s labor, put the cover over the vehicle. It was a chore which I wouldn’t want to do very often. Of course, Charlie is not happy that the rig is stored that far away, because she can’t get into it and stock it with trip goods. So, she started pestering me about moving it, and I tried once again to find a local RV storage property with space for us. Presto! Our old place, Storage, Etc. in Murrieta now has a couple of spaces. So, next week, Tim and I are going to move and re-cover The Beast. I can hardly wait.
