I can't believe how cheap rents are in some places in the US. Over here you'd be paying almost that per week in any of the coastal towns (which is pretty much where 90% of the population lives). OK, maybe not $515/week, but it'd be about $400 or there abouts depending on where you go.

sweetwater, are there any doggy swimming pools near you? There's one near us, I'm thinking of checking out prices for Pilau. It's supposed to be brilliant for stuff like arthritis. Maybe it'd help with this too?

There is a good-sized lake 30' outside my door, so yep, there is water. Only there are zillions of snakes in there, so I don't think we'll go swimming anytime soon!
Though swimming him is a good idea. Maybe I'll fill a tub for the old boy. Thanks!

Why not just get a kiddie/yard pool. My dogs love it.

Just a few minutes ago, our cat Dolly was sleeping on the couch beside me, and must have been dreaming about eating or something because she was chewing her chops in her sleep. On the other side of me, one of the other cats Shadow heard the chewing and woke from his own dreams, sat up and stared intently at her as if to say, 'wtf are you eating and why didn't I get any?'

It was pretty funny. In fact so funny I woke her up because I snorted.

I have a video where I was taping Tajjy because she was chasing her tail like a kitten (she'll be 17 in April.) She stopped and acted like she was going to lick herself in an inappropriate place. Though there's no sound you can tell I cracked up because she quickly looks up at me like "what?" After a long moment, she instead licked her ankle, like she realized she was on camera.

I had everything planned for a sleep in this morning. Kids lunches made the night before. Dazza set to get the kids up and fed before leaving for work. House tidy so there'd be nothing on my mind to get me up and a warning to all who would consider being rowdy before heading off in their own direction for the day.

This was all ruined by the fact that since I try not to eat after about 5pm in order to avoid atomic indigestion lately, I woke at about 6.30 starving anyway. By 7am I knew I wasn't going to get back to sleep, so I got up and had a bowl of cereal.

I think I'll have a nap soon.

Can't I just sit here on the couch and annoy you lot? lol

I get bored in bed by myself...and I don't think I'm supposed to be entertaining myself with company in bed at the moment anyway...worse luck.

That depends on whether sitting on the couch actually involves sitting, or if it somehow involves pottering around the house doing stuff?
