Whew! I'm glad I'm off work today.

Whew! I'm glad I'm off work today. It's been a hectic morning already.

I AM NOT COMPLAINING... but:

The pool guys are here digging up the yard. We were told the work would start around the beginning of APRIL. I'm not upset that they ran behind. It happens.

They came by on Tuesday to see the yard and talk to us. The pool installer said he would send a text or call us to confirm, but that the work might start today.

We woke up to them working in the yard.

No text or call on either of our phones.

We had to walk the dogs individually out front. Not too bad for Cub, but it is unfamiliar territory for Bear. He didn't have his pee or poop smells to trigger him and hasn't used the bathroom yet. He's less sedated today, as well, and seemed like he thought we were going on an adventure. 😬 Shaun ended up carrying him back in.

Shaun has major anxiety anytime anyone is here to do work. I get it. It's uncomfortable. But it's next-level for him and since he didn't even have time to wake up and prepare for the fact that they were coming it's extra not great. It's only 10 in the morning and his nerves are shot.

Not to mention that it would have been nice to not do this at the same time Bear is recovering. 😅 But it is what it is.

I know how privileged this must sound. "My dog is recovering from expensive surgery while our pool is being installed. Poor me." I don't mean it like that at all. I am grateful for all of the nice things in my life because at one point I could have never imagined being in this position. But I would be lying if I said there wasn't still some stress, especially on days like today.
