Well I am Not Sure

We called our pool place and they said we could open you in July. Cute so Nathan and Dennis took the cover off.
It was a huge job. Risa just watched and watched.
We never opened our own pool and due to no winter per se we had hardly any water and the water we had is rather dirty so tomorrow we get to shock it.
Nathan is not a handyman. He's used to using his brains and sorely wants to get back in the job market. I am the sand this, paint this, fix this type.
Tomorrow we may have enough water in it to test the pool equipment but then again maybe not. It's obvious we need a new liner but hoping next year not this.
What a cleanup job this will be.
I am the pool person so it will be me that gets the equipment going or then again maybe it will wait till July. Time will tell.
Our air is on but it doesn't seem to be blowing cold air. It's a brand new unit as of last year so it should be working but hey this is a long weekend so if something goes it always happens on a long weekend don't you think?
I washed Logan and won't see Logan or Panda till Tuesday. We watched Idol and it ought to be interesting to see who wins next week. The dogs sat around with us.
Zack and Cocoa are coming anytime and Lucy and Ricky are already here. I have some serious grooming to do on a couple. <sigh>
My plan is I do the serious grooming and Nathan does the rest - yeah right but we shall see.
We didn't sleep so well last night. About 130am someone was scratching on the bathroom door. It seems Spice closed it on herself. Then when I got up to investigate she thought it was playtime. I don't think so! I couldn't sleep by then so I ipadded a game but I shouldn't have.
The dogs took naps off and on all day making up for it. Me, I need an energy drink and a house to be cooler.
Tomorrow I just want to chill with the dogs and watch the pool fill but I doubt that will happen. I have a closet I need to clean that may take me 3 days before Fiona has pups.
Last night Risa decided my pillow was hers and not really mine. I noticed that at 130am when I was in one small corner and she was sprawled out all over the rest.
I think we will all need ice paks and cold pillows tonight. Maybe I will throw in a wet towel or two into the freezer so I have more cold items for the dogs. Nathan says the air is on so NO windows open. Something about letting good money go out the window. Oh well...
Another long night, I suppose. I wonder what game I can finish on the ipad yet again.

Oh my . . . I have to laugh . . . not b/c it's funny but b/c its sounds like here. I need the a/c on, but I need fresh air too! Laci is fine, but if it were one of my old dogs, they would surely be needing the a/c just much. I saw the cooling pillows at the dog show and should have paid more attn. Are they good? Should I get one for this old dog . . . me? :-)
Debi: I have a pillow that you add water to that you get from a store for humans. I throw it in the freezer and you stay cool most of the night from the pillow - no lie. It's amazing. We got this pillow for our son as he has breathing difficulties and needed something he could adjust in size. He hated it so I started throwing it into the freezer and it works really well. See http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=14831720 <-- they don't tell you about the freezer but it works really well and I know Shoppers medical department sells them and tells you to add to the freezer for pain. What they haven't clued into is it is great for cooling the body down but the dogs want to steal mine. Yes they have some for dogs too but these are great for humans if you can keep it away from Laci. I want to get a second one so I can use one during the day and one at night. Think about a cool pillow on a hot day at the pool.
Thank you! I will be on my way to get one tomorrow. Sounds a lot more effective than the gel packs I use at night. I might as well buy two and get one step ahead of Laci! :-) I initially started using mine for pain and then the heat set in and now it's for both! LOL
I'm liking the idea of that pillow if it gets Scruffs to snuggle with me!!! :)
It's torture having him sleep 2 feet away from me when I just want to cuddle up close. It's an odd time of year...a/c gets too cold at times but it's too hot if it's off.
Today I changed the sheets and we will sleep with just a thin sheet on top so we don't sweat. Scruffs is already asleep and seems happy.
