Two Goats and a Donkey! Monday, August 12, 2024 Happy Monday and Top of the Mornin' to ya! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I did! Friday I worked early that day, my schedule was 10:00am-6:00pm, but I went in at 7:45 to get some things done, then had to leave for half an hour to go to the bank for the store, then was back by 9:15 to get going again! Got everything I needed done before I opened to doors at 10:00am. And of course there was a customer that had been waiting outside for 10 minutes for us to open! You'd think people wouldn't start drinking that early, but that just goes to show you! Since I went in so early, and I was missing Cooper, I left at 5:30 rather than 6:00. I know, I know, how dare I! The order had come early enough in the day that I was able to get it all out, and there were enough people at work that I could leave with no problem. Unfortunately, Steve and Ian didn't get here until 9:00pm, but that gave me time to eat dinner and spend time with Cooper before they go here and we did our usual Friday night Dairy Queen run.Saturday morning, Cooper was determined I was not going to sleep until the alarm went off at 6:30am, so I was up with him a little bit before then. Got him all cleaned out, gave him food and put him back in his crate while I went to the bathroom and such, gave Maggie a dose of Prednisone so she could breathe, and then the three of us went to get breakfast at McDonald's. After that, we went to Coleman's Nursery in Moselle, where Steve didn't find anything that he actually wanted, and then we went to Walmart in Petal for Ian. After that, we had lunch at Jack's in Petal, and then it was time to go home. When we got there, we saw that my neighbors across the street were putting out stuff that didn't sell in their garage sale from last weekend, so we talked to them for a few minutes, I brought Cooper out so they could see him (that's who gave him to me), and then we went back in the house to relax for a bit (*wink wink*) before I had to start getting ready for my Saturday work shift, which was 2:00-8:00. Before leaving, Steve, Ian, and I went over to look more closely at the stuff out by the road, and I decided to take the doll house that they had put out, in order to pain and decorate it for Halloween, something I've been wanting to do for years. My work shift went by uneventfully, and then Steve and Ian came over to the store to park, while we walked over to Don Chuy's for dinner. Don Chuy's used to be La Fiesta, which he and I used to love, so we each got the Big Burrito, which used to be our favorite at La Fiesta. And then of course Steve had heartburn the rest of the night for eating Mexican so late! Sunday we got up and went to Ward's for breakfast, since we were meeting some friends, old and new, for lunch. We had to go home after breakfast, as both Steve and I needed to use the bathroom, then we went to Walmart. Steve and I had a small fight before going, which we resolved out in the van while Ian went inside. Then we both went inside with Ian, but none of us got anything. I was looking for a small dog toy that Cooper used to love, but destroyed, so that I could replace it for him, but I just couldn't find it anywhere. Then we went to have lunch with Blaise and Shane, and a new friend, Matt, joined us. Blaise and Shane's friends, Hugh and Derek, also joined us, so we had a merry little luncheon gettogether. I'm sure all the straight people around us enjoyed having 8 gay men around a table in their midst! Haha, who cares, right? They can get the fuck over it! When it was time to go, we said our goodbyes to Blaise, Shane, Derek, and Hugh, and then stood out in the parking lot talking with Matt for about half an hour (which is the main reason I'm red today lol). Then it was time to come home, time for Ian and Steve to gather up their things, and for us all to say goodbye for another week! In the pictures below, the first 2 are of some animal heads that Carl had someone mount for him while he is gone. Definitely a surprise to me when the guy arrived last Friday (Aug 2) with these and asked if Carl was around - since Carl is in South Africa right now! But we got it all done and I guess they look good. I've never really been a fan of dead animals hanging on the wall, but hey, live and let live (ironic to say, I know), right? The next 3 pictures are of Cooper and his daddy. I was reluctant to put Cooper down on the ground for a true photoshoot with them, so these will have to do for now. Then we have 2 pics of Ian and Cooper on Steve's bed (this is just before Cooper peed on the bed! So now he's kinda shadow-banned), both of them looking so cute! Then a scary image of me, and then Steve and Ian, and then me, while we had lunch at Jack's in Petal. The next 2 are framed art that was on the wall behind Steve, highlighting the history of Jack's (which we had no idea had been around for 56 years!). The next 2 pictures take us to Sunday morning, when I was using the bathroom and Cooper was in with me. He cuddled up in my underwear lol. The next 19 images are of Cooper, from when he was falling asleep on me yesterday afternoon through when he was playing with his "mama", and then this morning when I found a bacon-flavored bone that I had gotten him on my solo trip to the Mobile pet store but only found again this morning. The next 3 images I shamelessly stole from Ian lol. The first is one of his dolls posing in glamorous comfort in Steve's truck, then one of him and Steve in the truck, and the third is Cooper lying in Max's old bed. After the guys left yesterday, and after some alone time with Cooper, I mowed my lawn. The following four pics are of that, including the first one that depicts the remnants of the raised bed I had in my backyard which was overgrown; I used the mower "creatively" to mow that lol. Next is an image of Maggie from this morning when she is finding comfort in her box on "her" bed lol. And finally, the last image is one I found online of a very small homemade greenhouse, made from an old coffeetable, 6 old windows, and a piece of tin for the roof. If I ever get my love for plants back once again, I may have to make one of these! As before, I separated the male model pictures onto a second page, click here to see the eye candy. Enjoy! Ok, it's time to wrap this thing up! I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the guys again Friday night! George |
