What a long week. I deleted the Facebook app from my phone. I can’t delete my FB account because I have far too many things tied to it, but I did some cleaning based on recommendations from tech people.
The weather here has been miserable. It hasn’t rained it over 3 weeks. The leaves are turning, but not because its fall-because they are dead. Its been in the upper 80’s, so its not just dry, its hot and dry. On the plus side, the mosquito count is low because there is no standing water anywhere. It’s suppose to be a little cooler (upper 70″s) this week with a slight chance for some rain (no one seems to think it will actually rain though).
As we approach October, things are starting to get busy at work. Evaluation meetings, referrals, and testing. I have a school psychology graduate student coming to observe me on Friday. Hopefully I will have something she can actually see. This past Friday I spent doing paperwork. Very important, but very boring for someone to watch.
We took Ranger for his annual vet appointment on Thursday. He has lost 20 lbs! This was intentional (everyone was freaking out that he lost so much until they realized it was what the vet told us to do). So, they were thrilled with his progress and said he could even gain a few pounds back (he’s at 57 they said 60 would be okay). So, now he is getting some of the normal food every day and not just his very expensive diet food. Ranger is the happiest dog and he loves everyone. He enthusiastically show his love by jumping, pulling, licking, etc. But everyone just thinks he is the cutest, sweetest dog. And he is. He is our “oldest” at 4 1/2. Sammy and Dean are 3 and Luna is 1.
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!

I no longer visit most social media. I have it all but don’t engage. Mostly I am on Bluesky or looking at blogs or Substack. We also are getting the big dry. It was longer last summer and earlier. So happy to see a photo of Ranger!

Congratulations to Ranger for getting to a healthier weight. Hope there was no food-envy watching the other dogs eat.
He really wasn’t that concerned with the other dogs unless they knocked food out of their bowls then they were all going for it. He actually gets more food than the other dogs because he is the biggest, so he usually takes longer to eat anyway!
That’s such good news about Ranger. He looks like the cutest and happiest dog! I completely understand about the social media stuff because I’m right there with you. What a world we live in. I hope you have a good week, Samantha!
Yes, Ranger is the cutest! He’s such a good boy. Have a great week!
Good job for Ranger! That’s awesome! I know people don’t like Facebook, but I keep it for family and friends I don’t see anymore, as well as some authors that are still pretty active on there. I skim past things I don’t like, or just mark that I don’t want things like that in my feed anymore. You’ve got some books that I need to check out your reviews too. Hope you have a good week!
Yeah I kept FB because some things are just only accessible there. I did do a LOT of blocking this week to cleanse my feed.
Ya Ranger! That’s great news. I don’t actively look at social media anymore except BlueSky. As for FB I have it for family and friends, but don’t post much on it except nature pictures. We also had 80+ weather this last week.
