There have been times over the years when the kids were either not feeling great, or just out of sorts, and even when they grew big, sometimes the suggestion that made a big difference was if I offered to run them a bath. The prospect of relaxing in the water soothes so many things.

I'm going to move my truck out of the garage while the dogs are in the house. That way I don't have one or all wandering out the opening when I can't grab them if they wander. My two have the collars, but the lab doesn't. I have to run to Home Depot for carriage bolts to finish my potting table project, and to buy my winning (I wish) lotto ticket. $2 a week, and I've started buying a multi-day ticket (can buy up to 10 drawings at a time) to save the trip to the store to get the next one. I have a long list, if I ever win the lotto. If I don't, it'll take a little longer. :)
