What A Day!!!!

[Randy J]

Starts with an incredible back ache. Then, in an effort to get the trailer finally licensed, I hook up to the gooseneck to take it to get weighed, you license by the weight in Texas. On the way to the scales, I pass them by, and have to turn around on a country road. Forgot all about how high the truck sits, got the trailer neck in a bind, tore off the tailgate and damaged the bedsides. This stinks, but I guess it can all be fixed (about $500 worth). Make it to the license bureau, and the worker tells me due to the weight I have to have the trailer inspected - no license after all that! Figure I'll get it inspected and licensed later after all. Sitting home grousing, and up comes UPS man. Try to put the dogs up, and my little heeler is acting really strange. Go to bath her, and discover a patch of raw skin. Not sure, but appears she got herself under the wheel of the UPS van. I have decided I'm not going anywhere else until tomorrow - hopefully this will wear off by then!

Sure, just make it a little worse. The good news is the dog seems to be heeling (no pun intended - Gene!). Friday night was kind of tough as she couldn't get comfortable enough to lay down - she spent the whole night standing up. Oh well, maybe she'll leave the UPS man alone now. Time to get busy on the truck now - need to buy a tailgate, but the bedsides will repair. Could have been worse I guess.

I think your dog will leave the UPS man alone, as you mentioned. I delivered newspapers when I was younger. There was this little mutt that always chased and barked. Harmless, but WAAAYYY annoying! One day, it chased me (I'm on my bike)half way to the last house on the street. It waited for me to come back the other way, and started running alongside me. When I got in front of its house, it darted in front of me, and I ran over its back. It flipped my bike, and I went over the front, papers EVERYWHERE!!! I still have the scars on my palms; I never saw that mutt again. Don't know if I killed it, or it wised up (or wimped out!). I think it got wise.
I hope your dog gets better soon! #ad
