Trying to get home

Ok soooo, this is my normal route home. Got off at 1 p.m. it had stopped raining so thought I'd just take my normal route. Get close to home, this is the road before my road and this is my first obstacle.  So I can see the gravel somewhat down the middle so me, Gizmo and my SUV go through, after much thought and a couple of texts, one to my boss and one to my husband.  So I get through, thinking ALRIGHT! I'm gonna get home. Then I come around the corner to be faced with the view of what's in the 2nd picture.  
I sit and watch, noticing the pickups on the other side are parked. Hmmm, well it's running fast and that is the small river running across that road so if it's to deep, takes my SUV, me, Gizmo then we will be swimming. So I back up, turn around,  go back through the one I'd just come through and headed to another route. Well, only to come almost to the road I was originally on but on the other side of the flooding I had faced to see the river out on that road too. Well crap. By this time hubby has called and said don't try that one either. Turn around and go through Richmond and take 13 then cut over to the house from FF. Okay so away I go. 
So a drive that usually takes me 20 to 25 minutes took me an hour. I finally got home a little after 2 because I had to try a 3rd route. Thank goodness our road wasn't flooded yet and if it rains again tonight at least I'm off tomorrow and if flooded in I'm at home. Jeesh!!!!
Thank goodness for home sweet home. 
My boss did offer me her house in town to stay in. I just love my boss. 
Good thing I filled up my gas tank ($80) (thanks Brandon, you dumb fuck) or I would have run out of gas too. My SUV has a V-6 in it. Can't imagine having to fill my pickup.

Gizmo and Gulliver

Gizmo and Gulliver got neutered Thursday May 26, 2022. By evening time Gizmo was just like he was before surgery. Gulliver isn't recovering as quickly. Gulliver has a hematoma in his scrotum but starting to go down. They are the size of tennis balls. He's bruised but he feels ok. I have him on antibiotics and pain meds. He's stopped seeping blood. It's because he is older and a much bigger dog. I was in on his surgery and it was text book neutering.  Gulliver is 121 lbs compared to Gizmo's 3 pounds. There were several reasons I got them neutered. Gulliver was to reduce his attitude and to keep from getting prostate problems. That's a huge problem in these dogs that aren't neutered. I got Gizmo neutered to keep his good attitude especially with other male dogs around here. I have no intention of having puppies anyway. Neutered dogs make much better dogs anyway. Gizmo's testicles were the size of bb's. Lol. His incision is already healed and is so tiny you can't hardly see it. I will be getting Tessa spayed as well because I don't want her to develop a problem. That would be a death sentence.  Besides I'm sick of the boys acting like idiots when she's in season. 
Gizmo is still so small and Doc said he won't get any bigger. I love him so much. He goes everywhere with us. We went to walmart today and I can tell he is starting to get tired of people fussing over how cute he is and really doesn't like strangers touching him. Some people he loves, others, not so much. He knows everyone at work and loves everyone there, especially Dr Watkins.  I'm fortunate I get to take my dogs to work. After Gullivers surgery he hung out in the playroom at work. A client looked in there and said he was met eye to eye by a horse. Lol. It was Gulliver.  I laughed and said yes, that's my dog. It was funny. 
Tonight is dinner and a movie out on the patio. Yay!

Rant Time -PISSED

Ok so I take care of a friend of ours who has a girlfriend or rather an absentee girlfriend.  She rarely calls him, he may not hear from her for weeks, might get to see her once a month.....maybe, yet wants to take their relationship to "the next level"......marriage.  ugh. In the 3 years we have taken care of him, his horses, his house, his meds, doctors appointments, handling his disability and social security as well as so much more she has done basically none of it. Who picked him up from the hospital? ME! who went to get his meds and groceries? Me. I pay his bills for him, make sure his oxygen equipment is taken care of. He has 200 acres that I don't give 2 shits about but obviously she does. She does nothing for him, his health is failing yet she wants to get married? She's 65 years old, lives with her mother. I'm thinking that if she really cared for him she'd be trying to do the things I do for him, be around more and just give a damn, which she doesn't.  Actions speak louder than words. 
She got all pissed off because I brought his horse, with his permission to my house. He was losing weight, needed to be dewormed and needed feed. He also needed to be ridden. I'm doing all of that with the horse. She is livid. Well guess what......I don't give a flying fuck. I did find out she doesn't like me, which I knew! I also don't care about that either. She needs to get over herself. She's jealous but about what I have no clue. I have a husband that I adore. She knows this so whatever problem she has is her problem.  She best stay off my property. She better stay out of my face. Oh....and the damn horse stays here. She can stick her horse up her ass. This one isn't hers.
