What a Sunday...



It's Sunday morning, March 12th and it's already been a fun day.

Gordon our mixed breed dog was not feeling well, that was an understatement.  I was drinking my coffee reading the days news, Rosie yells out from the kitchen "Oh yuck, Donnie come here, Gordon threw up...",  she was busy getting the dogs breakfast ready so it fell to me to get the mess cleaned up.  Rug #1 under the dining room table, 1/2 a roll of paper towels later, I'm done with the mess.

We let Gordon outside in the frigid 6 degree F windy weather hoping he'd feel better.  He came in 5 minutes later.

Rose exclaimed, I have no Internet connection, "Jeesh I'm not even done my 1st cup of coffee and computer problems", she reloaded the page, closed and reopened her browser, still no internet, (my PC was fine...) I had her restart her PC and she was fine thereafter...

Not 10 minutes later Rose is headed back into the office not done her first cup of coffee and exclaims "he's done it again" this time on rug #2 in the office, I never heard, or saw it happen seated 5 feet away...  Rose took care of that mess, the other 1/2 of a paper towel roll...

We let Gordon outside once again hoping he'd feel better.  He came in 5 minutes later.

20 minutes later Gordon struck again, on rug #3 in the living room...  What is it with animals and rugs... Rose took care of that mess too. Yeah, another 1/2 a paper towel roll...

Rose went to the kitchen to get her second cup of coffee and discovered our coffee maker had drained a nearly full pot of coffee onto the counter.  "Donnie come here, something is wrong with the coffee maker" We cleaned the mess up and I took apart the coffee carafe to try and see what had jammed the spout dumping out the coffee all over the Island counter.  We cleaned up that mess using up the end of paper towel roll #2.  I got out the Mr Coffee coffee machine cleaning packets and started a cleaning cycle hoping that would help. 

Rose cooked Gordon up some rice with beef broth hoping that would help settle his stomach down, he ate a little and walked away.

Gordon is once again wagging his tail, still not eating but obviously feeling better.

Here's to hoping the remainder of the day goes well. It's a good thing we got a carpet cleaner for Christmas.  I guess time will tell...

How's your Sunday going?
