Life gone to the dogs blog

Jennifer is saying pretty much everything you'ld expect a 2 1/2 year-old to be saying. Danny is just a bag-o-baby moving around and making three month old noises. The '74 Monte Carlo that I drive is doing okay even though the speedometer doesn't work all the time.

The house is actually half a house. We live in the back end and my sister, her husband and their son live in the front. It's an old neighborhood by the University of Arizona and there are some roaches but we spray and they head over to the front half until Liz sprays and sends them back. It's pretty much what we can afford on what I make.

Work is seven days a week. Dogs have to eat everyday and get turned out four times a day and have the kennel cleaned everyday. There are 105 of them and I can name everyone of them for you if you drop by when they're all out in the pens. Then five days a week we take some to race and two mornings a week we take some down to train on the track. It's a lot of work but it's a lot of fun which is why I don't look for something that pays more than $200 a week.

I bought some coveralls at the army surplus store so Maggie doesn't have to put up with me smelling so bad when I get home.
