I have been in Delano, CA since Sunday morning for work. Why? I can't tell you. Secret Squirrel Shit, but suffice to say that I will never leave my domestic domicile for the same reason that I went to Delano ever again in my life. I was conjuring the spirit of Jack Reacher 45 minutes into my time there. I had to find my Happy Place and Choose My Attitude. And I only Choose My Attitude when I have been forced into prolonged periods of feeling like punching things in an environment where the expression of those feelings would be highly inappropriate. I will slash tires and punch people in the face before I ever have to do that again. To add insult to injury during my time there, my sister said I can't have her Nook. I'm calling Bullshit on the past four days and am planning on blocking them from my memory. Two more GTs and I'll be there.

Anywhoos. Before I left, and because I knew I would be gone and the last time I was gone Sarah died and then Black Cat was killed, the Pack and I had some serious discussions about behavior. I was very concerned because Saturday it snowed here and Puppy Clark is sans coat because he took it off and Randi and Earl ate it. I made the Big Guy promise that he would come and pick Puppy Clark up and take him to his house if it stayed cold. Then I worried that sans Puppy Clark, Randi and Earl would discover exponential Mischief.

During my departure preparations the Pack decided to pose themselves in the perfect family photo:

(Look at Earl's eyes and tell me that dog isn't high.)

My dad checked in on everyone to make sure that they were still alive and hadn't killed anything and Steffi came by and double checked and gave everyone treats to make sure that they were alive and hadn't killed anyone.

When I got home I immediately noticed that Mischief had found some hangers and decided to redistribute them. And then there was a moment when I couldn't find PDub, mostly because she's dark colored and it was dark and the light on the patio is out. So far no dead animals to report, though Steffi said Mischief chewed up the new bed I bought Puppy Clark so he wouldn't freeze to death, but since it's dark and I can't see it, it's not there.
