October 10th. Pretty sure...
Part of this may have been Buttondowned to you a day or so ago, so pardon me if I’m repeating.
I am down to five dogs. The two extras are one who belongs to the chainsaw guy TJ sent up from Alabama, and one who was left chained to a doghouse when the rest of her pack (5 other dogs belonging to the same woman) evacuated to Asheville. She’s too big, young, and playful around my old ladies (and now deaf, dumb, and blind Tommy), so Jim has agreed to let her stay at his place. He has a fenced in dog yard made possible by Mike’s $1,000 he brought here when he had to rehome Felicity/Velocity a few years ago.
The chainsaw guy had to vacate my neighbor’s guest house as of today, and now that Jim is back at his house, Chainsaw Jim and his dog Raven have taken over my guest room.
The neighbors’ insurance agent will be here today about the tree that fell over onto my fence. I have to email my insurance agent about my roof (I lost bunches of shingles - probably 10-year shingles that have been on the roof for over 20 years).
So that’s enough for now; got to get ahold of the insurance people, get that dog out to Jim’s, and restore some semblance of order to my overburdened house.
