Magnificent Monday ya'll puppy

The doggies and I were up early-ish to beat the heat. We sorta did. The sun came out while we were out. We were soaked. Took us some time to cool down and clean up. Then down to the kitchen to clean up and feed everyone. Finally made it to the puter.

Daughter is having a hard day. She has to be at ex's house to get her stuff packed and he is being a complete and utter something I can't say on the board about absolutely everything. Of course, I knew he would be. I'll be glad when this is all over and I know she will be too.

Back later wave
