Pickups

Linda and I had to go to the school to pickup some hay bales and mums that the teachers used for a display. We went to the mum patch before 8 AM in a light drizzle. It had rained most of the night and the patch was great for digging mums. We had held off on digging the bronze colored mums, as they were the last to start budding out before they bloom. We dug about a dozen and came home, left some on the black trailer and put 4 in the truck to show the teachers when we went to pick up the others. We sold all 4 of the bronze as soon as we got to the school. We picked up our hay bales and a few smaller mums.
Once home I put the mums on the wagon, the hay bales back in the shed and took a shower while Stacey and Linda were getting their stuff for the ride to Pauline and Brent's house. We headed over there and ate Wendy's sandwiches while on the road. Pauline was working and Brent was home, so we visited with Brent awhile. Our mission, which we had decided to accept, was to 'dog sit' Pico and Poco. Brent seemed a little worried about how Poco would behave while at our house. We laughed and made the comparasion to worrying about one's kids when leaving them with someone else. Poco is still a young pup and sleeps in a cage, so we loaded it in the trunk and headed to our house after telling Brent not to worry.
We made a couple stops on the way home and everything went OK, no dogs escaped or bit anyone. Once home Pico, Poco, Missy, and Cooter all smelled each other's butts and then Poco did 'his business' outside, which was what had worried Brent the most I think. We were off to a real good start. Linda set the cage up in the living room and we played with Pico and Poco on the rug in there. Poco still likes to bite alot and needs to be calmed down after playing, so I was working with him on playing and then loving instead of biting and fighting all the time. By then, Linda had fixed us some tacos and they were ready to eat also. We gave all the dogs a little of the meat and they all ate like they hadn't had anything to eat for a day or two. Pico made sure Poco didn't get his and I left Missy in the kitchen eating so there wouldn't be a problem with her. After that, a couple trips outside and everybody and all the dogs went to bed. No problems yet.
