Hard Labor

I must admit this is not the preferred way to treat guests, but she really was a willing participant! We had to get the back yard ready for the construction workers to arrive and start digging up and moving things. We had to move the brick from one flower bed to the other, move the river rock from around the hot tub and move the good garden dirt into the extended flower bed. With the construction starting on Monday and my knee surgery and Max's flu, this project was upon us all too quickly.

I worked on getting the last of the water out of the hot tub and then worked on brushing the dogs! Kodi is dumping another undercoat and he needed it badly because he is leaving little clumps of hair everywhere. I did the little bits and pieces that I could of moving things out of the way and just taking it at an easy pace walking around the yard.

Jessie and Max put in several hours of hard labor and then we called it quits and all showered and had pancakes and Irish sausage for breakfast. We headed out to Lowe's to get material to make some kind of make-shift fence to keep the dogs contained if they have to go out for potty breaks. The whole dogs in the back yard is going to be a "thing" that we will have to deal with. I am hoping that they will get used to the people in the back yard as the work progresses.
