Heatwave

 As was expected, the booboo paw is gone, made all better by a little bit of time... and an extra biscuit or two.

The five foot black snake has returned this year to my brother's barn.  He posted a video on Facebook and, of course, there were a number of negative comments from stupid people, dumb shits who don't know snakes eat rats.  And you know that some will say it's better to have rats then snakes.  The bubonic plague was spread by rats carrying infested fleas.  Snakes work better at killing rats then traps.  Just think about that, and the plague, and why people hate snakes.

I had set up biometrics on my new phone:  both facial and fingerprint recognition.  One I find easier then the other to use.  I'm usually in too much of a hurry to get my finger in the right spot, whereas the camera recognizes my face, even when I'm talking.

And I am off tomorrow.  That will be nice, even though there is a 50% chance of thundershowers.  Oh, and the temps are supposed to climb to the mid 90's (F).  That's fine.  I have Central Air.  It's been kicking on through out the night.  Yesterday at work, they were wondering how people survived before there was A/C, and I pointed out we've only had this luxury for what?  75 years?   That's not a long period of time.  And while they're calling this a heat wave, it's isn't.  They will come later this summer.

Liar #45 was spewing his falsehoods yesterday down in North Carolina.  This is to be expected from scum suckers like him.  Let's be honest here, he gives rats a good name.  Anyway, he's spouting off about how he's going to be reinstated by August.  I'm suspecting he's going to try and use the phony audit of Arizona for justification in spite of the fact that the votes of that state have already be certified.  I'm thinking he's picked August because he believes he's going to be indicted shortly after that, and if he doesn't have presidential immunity he's going to go to jail.  I can't think of any better justice then to have him suffer through an orange, jumpsuit heatwave.

Even managed Vets make money

I've had a busy day - cleaning, cooking, going to the store.. and napping.  I had time to write up two reviews - average associates who are really just satisfied to be average, one is part-time and the other full time.  Both are extremely reliable.

Ordered some Frontline for Sig; only 6 months worth since he's going to be growing for some time and he's almost already out of the small dog grade.  What I ordered should keep him in Frontline until he hits 44 lbs.  I usually don't use it in the winter.  True, some ticks can come out of hibernation when the temperature rises to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but this past February our average daily temp was 22 and the year before that it only managed to get up 38.  January has pretty much the same temps.  December's a bit warmer, but still cold.

Of course this new Vet Group advocates using the Frontline year round, but then I manage my Vet.  They also recommend using Sentinel year round, that's for heart worms and round worms and hook worms and fleas...  Fleas?  That's one of the reasons I use Frontline.

Sig sleeping on some pillows he pulled from the sofa.

I've used Heartguard for years, it does everything Sentinel does, except for the fleas, and is a little less expense.  I plan on continuing to use it.  And, again, I only use it seasonally.  The cold, you know, is not very kind to worms.  They freeze.  Which is why, even though the new Vet group wants me to use it year round, I won't.

When I told them I purchase almost everything online they informed me that they 'price match,' even online orders.  So I wonder if their mark-up is between 75% and 100%, that tends to be the norm.  Anytime someone mentions 'price match' you know they're still making money.
