Polly

Polly

We are taking care of Polly for a few days while her people travel. For her first few hours here, she followed our Boston Terrier Bandit around. She knew Bandit from when her people took care of him for a while. Polly doesn’t see very well, but it didn’t take her long to figure out where everything is our house. She is a cheerful little soul, despite her first few years of mistreatment before she was rescued than adopted. There is nothing quite like having two Boston Terriers snoring in stereo.

Ceiling Fan

Craft Room Ceiling Fan

A few days ago this ceiling fan was installed in my craft room. My partner and I had been discussing swapping out the great room fan and the fan in the main bedroom. I suggested he find an electrician to do the work, and I would like a fan installed in my craft room as well. This fan matches the fan my partner installed in his office last summer. I texted our realtor friend asking if she had a referral for an electrician. New house construction is booming here at present, and it is hard to find electricians who will do small jobs for homeowners. She texted me back a contact, and the electrician showed up the next day!

I think this is my newest favorite thing.

Blue Blankie

Blue Blankie

During winter, Rion spends a lot of time wrapped in his blue blankie. Occasionally, I will be doing something and look down and see Rion standing quietly beside me. Sometimes that means he has to go out. And sometimes that means that Bandit has stolen the blue blankie or Rion’s crate and Rion is waiting for me to fix the situation.

You may think, why not get Bandit his own blankie? However, Bandit is not interested in having his own blankie. If Bandit has his own blankie, he will try to steal Rion’s blankie and pile them together. Bandit also has his own crate but never goes in it during the day. He would much rather sleep in Rion’s crate.

Protection

A few weeks ago I dropped my tablet on a tile floor and shattered the screen. After I bought the replacement, I looked for something to protect it in case it happened again. I nearly paged past this case because it was designed for children, but then decided it would work for a clumsy adult as well. It is perfect.
