Bad dad

 Sometimes I am not a good dad

    I let Emily's dogs out yesterday.  She has crates for some of the more rambunctious ones.  For some reason, I let Kingsley out of his crate, but when I left I put Fiona in a crate.

    Kingsley created quite the mess.

    I feel bad about it, because it was my fault.  I should have paid more attention to what dog was where.

    I have dog duty this weekend and I guarantee Kingsley will be in a crate when I leave her house!

    I don't always pay attention to the details...the "fine print" in life.  That has been a problem all  my life, or at least as much as I remember.

    I did notice today that our Nest thermostat had a "low battery" message.  I did not even know it had batteries!

    So I did the modern thing, Googled it and found a video on replacing batteries.  Took me about 2 minintes and I did not yell, scream, or drop anything.  That may be a first.

    Our niece  Laurie stopped by for a few minutes before heading back to Ohio.  Her mom, our sister in law, is in a rehab facility in Rockford but may be moved soon to one in Byron.

    It was hard on her, and on her brother, to come here and then have to leave Mom and head back to their families and jobs.

    Just hope SIL Ruth makes a speedy recovery and can join them out east.

    Dang cold today!  Currently 15 but it feels like 0.  I can attest to that every time Igo to with the dog.

    Winter.  Love it or leave it.

Peace and Love
