Hey, MOM, I wore myself out today pruning and chipping and mowing. It only got to 87 (this is a cool-snap for Texas). Would you mind giving the dogs their bedtime treat around their normal bedtime? I'm headed to sleep early. (Poppy sometimes needed encouragement to go into the yard to pee at bedtime, so I took treats out with me. And after she died, the others didn't need treats or encouragement, but they still expect them.)

Good dogs.
