One After Another

I got a new foster puppy today. A little 2 month old pit bull. Yes, I know, I didn't want to foster any more pit bulls or mixes because they have a tendency to want to kill my cat but this one is too young to do anything except pee on my floor. And at this age there is a very good chance she will get adopted in the next few weeks. Hopefully I can get a picture posted tomorrow. Right now my dogs are busy harassing her and barking, barking, barking. I hope they all settle down so we can get some sleep tonight.

And a different topic, my RV toilet was totally stopped up yesterday. You see, I don't put toilet paper down the toilet because it has a habit of clogging up the holding tank. Plus, I use very little water to flush and it isn't enough to keep the toilet paper moving. But when my guests were here I didn't bother to mention it because I thought a few days of toilet paper wouldn't matter. Well, it did matter and the pipe under the toilet was completely clogged. This happened once before when I first bought the RV (it was a used RV). That time I paid a RV repair person to unclog it. It cost me $100. I asked the guy how he unclogged it and he said he just kept working at it. This time I decided to try it myself. I have a tank cleaning wand that is flexible so I just used that and eventually it unclogged. I was very relieved that I didn't have to call for help, it's kind of an embarrassing problem and it would have cost more than $100. The first time it happened was 10 years ago...(wow, I am still living in this thing).

Anyway, I had better go set up a bed for the puppy and try to calm everyone down. I need my sleep.

That is a bad chore no matter how it is done or who does it. Good job on not spending that $100 for it.

Lizzie, I didn't realise it was 10 years already. No wonder everything in the RV is breaking.

Over the Cubicle, between my toilet and the dogs I am spending way too much time dealing with poop. Maybe I should get a foster baby too. Diapers would go well with this theme.
