I let the dogs outside to play for a while in the nice sunny weather, and I went out to clean up the yard about 3:30. This time I was greeted by a totally muddy Raven. Her legs, belly, and even her nose were muddy and gross because she had gotten into the pond that was drained and that has accumulated rain and guck and leaves and disgusting goo over the winter. I thought that was really bizarre too, I mean what in the world is up with her? WEIRD!!

When I let the dogs back into house, I washed Raven’s still muddy legs and then went out to train with Layla and Dare. Well, this time when I came back in, my husband was doing exactly what I had done earlier in the afternoon, he was mopping up a lake of water in the kitchen again. While we were standing there Raven went right back over the waterer and started digging in it. That was just too weird for me. None of our dogs dig in the water. Granted Raven is an odd duck sometimes, but she doesn’t dig in the waterer. Anyway, it occurred to me while I was standing there watching her, that she seemed to be trying to get a drink, but was not able to. Like she was digging at the water out of frustration. I had a thought. I wondered if she was able to move her mouth correctly. So, I offered her a treat. She tried to take it, but there was definitely something wrong. Like her mouth wouldn’t open right. WEIRD!!!

So, by this time it was 6:00 (of course). Nothing like this ever happens during normal business hours. Anyway, I scooped her up, didn’t bother to call the vet, just thought if I drove fast enough, I might still catch someone there. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to grab a leash, and when my phone rang at the vet’s office, I couldn’t answer it. Come to find out, I had my own phone, but had also grabbed my husband’s phone too. Then I didn’t know which one was ringing and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t answer when I pushed the buttons. LOL What a dork!

Well, turns out that it was something relatively simple. Thank goodness. It turned out to be a piece of what I think was a cow hoof. It was wedged between a couple of her back molars which kept her from being able to close her mouth. I am so relieved that it wasn’t something more. I can only imagine how uncomfortable she must have been though. Poor girl. While she was sedated, I had them pull another tooth in the front that was loose and had been growing out past all the other teeth. So, Raven is spending a quiet evening recovering tonight, but I imagine she’ll be much happier tomorrow.

In other weird news….my husband finally got a call from Home Depot for a second interview. They told him that they’d like to hire him, he just needed to do their drug test and have a background check. So he agreed, but here’s the weird part. I asked him what position they were offering him for, he didn’t know. I asked him how much they pay, he didn’t know. Am I the only person out there that would ask those things? I mean I understand those aren’t the first question you burst out with in an initial interview maybe, but I think they are certainly reasonable if they offer you a job. LOL I think it’s just WEIRD!!!! Oh, and they only hire part-time for like a three month period. Which I guess is fine, as long as it doesn’t affect the unemployment. Who knows…maybe it will be a good thing to do right now, while he looks for something else.

Anyway, that’s my weird day.
