Morning and GFY everyone.
Wish us luck this morning. We go at 10:00 EST to have a hearing to contest our dogs being taken. We're hopeful to get them back. Our pen has been upgraded via some jerry rigged extra fence panels to discourage jumping over the fence & a jerry rigged wired shut gate with panels and weights to avoid coming out the gate. The gate is temporary until we buy/build a new gate to put on. The fence is likely temporary as well, until we can hopefully wrangle some company my wife mentioned to install better fencing.
Damn shame when a family of farmers cannot put up a little fencing what will keep dogs inside. Well, actually I am understanding why we couldn't, we was/is more like me alone or with only the wife's help. She does a fair piece to be helpful doing her tomboy acting, yet ultimately she's a girl and still has some girl troubles in doing the rough work. Besides that a voice inside myself keeps yelling at me, "you're better than that, don't let her have to help!"
Even so, if others here might have helped me in putting up the fence better/properly I think this whole mess ought to have been avoided. There are two other adult men here, one who ought to have plenty of experience putting up fence and the other at least able to provide extra hands a bit more grunting for the purpose. Of course, I was doing plenty of grunting as things went. Not much more to say on that, figure any more I said would not serve the being nice mandate. It just is what it is.
Today, I need to keep myself leveled out. Yes this whole situation has frustrated me, I've felt angry about it. That cannot though be present when we contest it. I think for the most part the wife, being her girl self, can be the diplomatic spokesperson of our family at the hearing.
Apologies for the
, sometimes we need saying what needs said. Well, y'all run 'er slow.
