Got no heat... Should've paid that utility bill...

No I'm kidding. I'm really good at paying my bills. But we got a boiler (it was expensive - more than we anticipated - I don't want to talk about it.) ... and it's taking longer than expected to install. So tonight, we have no heat. They gave us two space heaters. Small ones! Two! For the whole damn house! What is that going to do??!! Idiots. I'm double-sweatering it and my toes are damn cold. Maybe I'll just use the oven.

Oh - AND... they peed in my toilet and didn't flush it. Okay, fair enough - they had to turn the water off and therefore couldn't flush and probably just forgot - but still... I came home to someone else's pee in my toilet! Ew.

The end. No pic today.

Smelly Dog Farts

My dog farts. It's not normal. I know it's not normal. It happens way too often, and they smell way too bad for it to be normal. And they are loud too! Most dog farts are silent, but not Chloe's. Hers make a distinct fart sound. Even she thinks it's not normal! I know this, because when she does a loud fart, she turns around and stares at her bum like, 'What the HELL was THAT?!! ... arf.'

We asked the vet about it, she suggested switching her food to something more nutritious (and therefore more expensive) - we did that. Didn't help.


We tried to test her treats to see what ones make her fart. The result: either all of them, or none of them. So that wasn't much help either.


We tried cutting back her food - so now she gets only her alotted 3.5 cups per day (ish) ... we're definitely not overfeeding now. She still farts.


So what do we do? I mean really - I love her dearly, farts and all... but it sucks living in a house full of smelly dog farts.
I need some sage advice here.
