Long Ruff Weekend.

What a ruff weekend for everyone this weekend.

Saturday Mom and Dad were going to throw an anniversary dinner for Dad’s parents. They have now been married 40 years. Wow that is what… 280 in dog years…. Yikes! It is no wonder dogs don’t get married. Well mom came down with a headache and Jason and his biped puppies were sick, so the event was postponed till Sunday. Sunday came and went to no avail, for the same reasons. Mom was up on Monday, so a mini version of the party had to happen, because dad had made a 3 tier "wedding cake" for them. Jason still had some sick puppies at home, so we will do the big party when everyone can get together, minus the cake of course.

One night over the weekend there was a large front that moved through, thus mom’s headache. Dad came in the den the following morning and saw a small puddle of water, only about a couple of spoon full. Dad knew it did not come from me, and my bladder-o-steel, but a quick glance up and dad confirmed his fear. The water had dripped off of the recessed lighting, a trip into attic he saw a hole in the decking about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide where he could see shingles. He quickly covered the section of the roof with a tarp, and he and his dad will try to patch it as soon as the weather will allow. In checking out the roof they found the “wonderful” roofers the previous owners used to re-roof the house did not use tar paper over the den! So it looks like mom and dad will be shelling out the big bucks this summer!

I did feel sorry for dad this weekend, as he just had one thing after another go wrong over the break. But he did get to spend some time with his puppies, though he was a bit stressed. When it rains it pours… but I would not mention water to him!
