It's a brilliant day. I was up early because three of the four dogs that are living in this very small apartment, right now, were ready to hit the facilities outside. Anna, a great Great Dane dame, who is 9 1/2 years old, slept in a little bit. I put a leash on Dylan; he has started to wander a bit from our front yard, before doing his thing. Morisson, I am hardly aware of, with so many dogs about, because he is such a good dog; he does his thing without causing any trouble. All Mo wants is attention, to be fed twice a day, and as many snacks as you will feed him. Henry, the two year old Great Dane, is getting better and better to be with in a small space: he is learning the rules!!

Unemployment cut my checks off without any warning, and I find myself trying to pay all my bills, and eat with $88 dollars. For some reason, I am not freaking out; I know that with faith, and effort all things work out. I may have just picked up another dog walking/sitting gig, yesterday; for another Great Dane, no less, and I have a line on a phone job. In the short run, I have started doing an online search for food sources, and utility assistance. It is an interesting process. One church will deliver you a box of food on Saturdays. Deliver! And the delivery comes with a free bible! Is there not a cost of some sort associated with most things?!

I am off for a looooong dog walk. The dogs love to walk, and so do I. I hope that you have a great day.
