No! I really done that one time!

So I shows up and this Gal says...

And I'm standing there like Uh-Huh...

And there's like this dead horse laying there...

Middle of August...

And I'm thinking "uh-huh"...

And the little girl is crying...

And I'm thinking "this ain't good"...

But by golly, I got the job done!

And we even had a little ceremony afterwards.

True story.


I believe it. A year ago, some former friends had a guy drop of a horse trailer that needed repair. They were just in an accident. It was sub-zero temps. Turned out, there was a horse in it that died in the accident. The people just left the horse in the trailer, hoping that the people who were going to repair the trailer would take care of it for them. They took over a month to come pick up and properly take care of the horse. It was bitter cold the entire time, so it stayed a horsecicle. Which was a good thing.

Pretty much what they all say.

Then after I get done re-shingling that roof - or burying that dead horse...


Present a formal written estimate up front and a formal bill after. Yep Yep.


*sighs*

I agree, but then you get these little old ladies...

Much as I hate to say it - a horsecicle is good as compared to the alternative.

Got called up about four years ago to kill a dog.

This dog had been on the chain for a while. Seriously infected and all.

I had the gun to her head, and just couldn't do it.

Took her home with me and cleaned her up. Turned out she was just allergic to fleas.

Best dog I have right now.

Agreed!

Just rescued a little boxer last Friday. Went to a good home in OKC - but I want her back already.

That big old shepherd in my profile pic is a rescue.

He is a really good dog.

I am such a softie when it comes to fur babies..folks who abuse them or neglect them are scum to my way of thinking. I started thinking about the ones who are out in this winter weather day and night....it just makes me nuts!!

Well, I'm home again. While I was dog sitting, I was home only a couple hours a day. My cats are cranky with me. The alternate from being super affectionate and being snobs.

And instead of the cleaning I need to do at home, I'm online. Playing WoW. And checking in occasionally.

None.

I am taking the day off.

Doing what I want to do for a change.

Pleasures of being self employed and all that!


Hah! Me too! Self employed and took the day off. But I worked in the shop so I guess that doesn't count. sad

Workaholics view a little less work as a day off. laugh

I'm on the computer because "I decided" that I wanted to be.
I'll procrastinate on my chores tomorrow.
