The barking this morning was terrible and went on for at least two hours. The earlier Jesse leaves, the worse the barking is. I still don’t have a clue as to what stirs them up. All I do know is that it’s got something to do with it being between November and April and Jesse not being home. When he’s out during those months, they go crazy, and it wasn’t just Whiskey this time around either. So it’s back to having to have sound machines, fans or air cleaners blasting whenever he’s not around. 

I keep wishing whoever it was that complained on him before we got here would do it again, but chances are they’ve realized it won’t do them any good or they’ve moved. Guess the next best thing to wish for is someone shooting them, but if they haven’t yet, why would they now? Besides, Jesse would just go out and get 3 more dogs to toss outdoors like yesterday’s trash, so it would only be a temporary break.

I can still do some things with the sound machine going, but I can’t do things like study languages and proofreading. It isn’t me that’s doing the proofreading, it’s the electronic reader I’ve got going, and I need to hear it and it only.

I asked Tom if he thought the queen would cut us out of her will (if she hasn’t already), or if we just wouldn’t get anything if she doesn’t, and he said he thinks she’ll run out of money before she runs out of life. So I thought about it and yeah, at the rate she’s going I’d say that’s probably true.

laughs What a punishment on Miss Perfect! To be burdened with your mother-turned-daughter during your entire marriage which is almost as long as ours is, then to have her run out of money in the end – hahahaha! Only difference is she would just deal with the fact that she couldn’t pay her rent anymore. I’d toss her on the streets. flashes an evil grin
