I'm really getting tired of not being able to get on the internet so much lately. I wish we had a good cable company that had lines laid out nearby. Even the crappy cable company that is local does not have any way that we can hook up to them. They are a couple miles away and not interested in doing what must be done to connect to so few people in our area. That's the crappy thing about being in a really rural area. The farms around us are large ones and they all seem to have satellite TV and internet from what you can see on the homes.
It was a really beautiful day yesterday considering we only got up to about 53 degrees. It was sunny and only had a slight breeze. Baron couldn't wait for the Beast to get home so he could get his run for the day. He really wanted to see his *buddy* that guards the livestock at the farm just a little over what you would call two blocks away. The Beast was really curious about whether or not the fence around it was electrified or not just because the dogs make no attempt to get through it. It has enough room that they should be able to crawl underneath it. However, what he discovered was not that it was electrified but was a kind of nasty barbed wire. We think it's there to attempt to keep the coyotes out. But, who knows?
The Beast is dying to find out what kind of a dog it is. He says it almost looks like a cross between a German shepherd and a collie but has a tail that stays curled over it's back. The coloring doesn't tell him anything that he recognizes as a working dog. I told him that if he took a picture of it, I would search for it on Dogs101. They have a website with all the pure bred dogs and they are even in categories such as working/herding dogs. If it's actually a pure bred dog, I could probably answer the question of the kind of dog it is. If it's a mixed breed, however, I could probably just identify the most prominent features of the mix. He says he'll do that the next time he takes Baron for a run. That's what he says he'll do but we'll see.
I'm a bit concerned for the Beast. He is having both a problem with his eye and losing part of the sight in the one eye several times each day but also having problems breathing. He's using his inhaler more than usual. I'm sure his COPD is getting worse and that has something to do with why he feels sick so often.
I got dressed and even went outside with Baron while the Beast was at church. It was funny tho' what Baron did after the Beast got home and we ate lunch. He wanted to go out but he wanted to go out front. He stood by the front door when the Beast tried to get him to go out back. Then, when the Beast let him out front finally, Baron ran over to the garage and stood by the scooter so that the Beast saw him standing there, patiently, when he came outside a few minutes later. It was so obvious that Baron wanted his run that you had to laugh. Dogs may not talk but they have a way of letting you know what they want. LOL
It's daylight out when I am typing this and it looks like it's going to be overcast again. That's our usual winter weather along with the cold. At least we do not get the severe cold like other areas. I think it must have something to do with our location to more tropical states. We are in a border zone or some such thing. But I hate when there's no sun out. I'm a sun person.
I think I will go back to bed for a bit. I still feel a bit sleepy and lazy. I don't even feel like getting any coffee. We seem to have cut back on our coffee lately and I think it has something to do with the fact that we are almost out of our Kauai coffee. The Beast has a couple of cans of the regular coffee you buy at the grocery store ready for when we use the last of the beans up. I wonder how regular coffee is going to taste to us now. We were sure spoiled for a while there. I'm grateful to Carol, my gf in California, for introducing us to it but I don't think the Beast is going to be buying it. He might surprise me once we are using regular coffee. It all depends on how he reacts to it. That's another *wait and see* for me. *Sigh*
Love you all. Have a great week and say a little prayer for those people who had problems with either incredible snow falls or flash flooding. The weather all over is nuts with this global warming problem, isn't it? You just don't know what to expect any more. ***Hugs*
Tell the Beast to look for Cafe Bustelo Espresso Coffee. It's a yellow label. It's really good shit.
