So, due to circumstances, our Pop-up Fleetwood was stored outside in a field for about 2 years. Despite tons of mouse poison, they definitely left some mess and stains. I used my Hoover Clean Slate XL and cleaned Everything with stain removers, etc. I definitely made a huge improvement, my 13yo bonus son patched up all the holes, and repaired the screens. I vacuumed, mopped and cleaned Everything. It took me 4 days. We took it out last weekend for a couple nights and no leaks or anything. The cap on the tank will need sealer because we stopped at the grocery store and it managed to hit a speed bump (it's very low to the ground. I'm no expert and it's basically my stepson and partner who do the hard work. My partner the first year did some renovations and added whatever it is to even be able to run on solar panels. I basically just clean it. Considering that this was my first time trying to get stains of this degree out, I definitely say it's a lot better than before. It has 2 king sized beds, a small twin, two benches like a couch, dinette, shower and toilet, a double sink, a microwave and refrigerator. I'm definitely not a professional cleaner and I have 3 kids (2 bonus sons, 8 and 13 and our 7yo daughter). So, my hands are full and I have so much to do and not enough hours in the day 😂. I plan to try and use the power washer on the roof while it's closed, but I am only 5'0 with shoes on lol. Also, yes I accidentally broke the cover to the fuse box while cleaning, as I lost my balance and fell on it.

This girl is a Repeat Offender!! Her name is Zora Mirage {last night}. She has a habit of using her blackness to sneak out. There's no reason for her to, she just likes to. This weekend, we took our kids along with my oldest bonus son's friend camping and to Upper Canada Village. We got home late last night and brought in essentials, I put some tasty treats out to keep her and her mom occupied. Figured she was sleeping somewhere. As I'm about to go to bed, my door cam alerts me, and so being late checked it. She's outside on the porches soaking wet because of a quick downpour. She'd snuck out between us. So, I bring her in, grab a towel and she refuses to be dried off. I proceed to turn off the lights and go to bed. Zora then jumps up on my bed to roll around drying herself off on my bed. Then purring wants pets, so I started to pet her and she grabs my hand biting and scratching (not hard enough to break skin). Like excuse me, I have told you not to escape. You not only hide and sneak out, but also have figured out how to open a window to sneak out, if you stayed in the house as you're supposed to, you wouldn't be Wet! I swear I'm going to buy a harness and stitch bells all over it just so she can't move without making noise!!!

Zora Mirage {last name} lives up to her name. Zora uses her darkness to her advantage and hides to slip out. Last night, we got home late and tired after taking the three kids, plus my oldest bonus son's friend camping and to an a museum. While we were bringing in some of the essential items, I saw her a few times and away from the door I made sure she was, put some tasty treats out and we brought everything in. My partner then took our oldest to a friend's house. Miss Zora Mirage, in those few moments, despite Every trick in the book, slipped out. She's even figured out one of the windows upstairs and will use it to slip out. Well, as I was just about to go upstairs, my door cam alerts me, so I opened it and behold, again somehow, she's on the porch 🤦. Once inside I head upstairs and she comes as usual. Then she has the audacity to roll around soaked (we'd had a momentary downpour) all over my bed and beg for pets, only to grab and bite (not hard) my hand!

I just got released from the hospital on Sunday night after an emergency Gallbladder removal surgery. I'm not allowed to groom (I'm a Groomer). However, Mayday my German Shepherd stunk and needed a wash, so I cheated with the hose and added soap to the dispenser and gave him a quick wash down. I'll do his nails once I've recovered more, they were due to be done last week and then ended up in ER and admitted for 5 days. Hes no longer a Fullback Black and Tan, but now a Bi-Colour black and Tan 😂😂😂😂. PS, I'm always getting asked or told he's a Bi-Colour, but he is indeed a Full Back (instead of Saddleback) PIC ORDER: after his wash down are the first 3 where he's wet and darker, the following ones are what he typically looks like

Anyone know what colour and how her eyes are the way they are. They're not green, they're not blue, or yellow. I call it a light Azure type, but no real idea how or what her eyes are other than beautiful and unique. ETA: she's mad because I had the Audacity to go to ER and end up admitted for needing emergency surgery to have my gallbladder removed and haven't been home for 5 days.

I have been in the hospital for 5 days due to an ER visit for emergency Gallbladder to be removed. I come home and she's like "You have returned Servant. You left the Trainee doing things alone. You are not forgiven.

I've been in the hospital since Tuesday. Last year I required surgery. I took my time to recover, waited a bit longer then began applying for jobs. I finally got one and started on May 31st and only one day a week. I feel bad as this was an ER trip that I'd hoped would be some antibiotics and go home. Instead it turned out that I had to have my Gallbladder removed. These are some of my recent pictures. I got to do my very first "Standard" poodle (in person she was quite small and possibly a miniature). They were going to a beach house for a vacation and wanted her nice and short so she didn't get sand in her coat or anything. I didn't post any hospital pictures, except one of the meals when I was temporarily taken off NPO til Midnight. I'm in Canada and though we don't have to pay, my partner is the the bread maker and we have 3 kids. I'm facing 2 weeks off, then 4-6 weeks no large dogs. Feel free to make suggestions, if you see things.

So first two pics, I saw a black and white tuxedo with white over the nose and went to go get Zora. I have 3 kids 7, 8 and 13 none who know how to close the door or allergic to closing it or something... I didn't think twice if it was her. I followed her across the road into the parking lot and then down the street and back to the parking lot... Only for it to look at me and finally realize that's NOT my Cat, the throat and under the chin were black! I got a pic of it looking at me in the parking lot... They must be new around here because the only cat I've ever seen is a short haired grey boy who I suspect might be Zora's dad (her mom got spooked by fireworks and bolted out the door as I was closing it and came back 5 days later). The rest of the pictures are My Zora.

Cleo's 5 years old this summer (by the age I got her I estimate late Aug) she was found in an abandoned destroyed home that had pet food tainted with with bleach. She's also however Havana Brown x Sphynx. I'm not sure which one it is. As cute as it is, she sounds like a debarked dog. She has a very soft mrew type meow and can't Meow loudly at all.Anyone else's kitty have a different kind of meow or can't? She's still my Baby.
Also: She saw the vet in April and got a clean bill of health.

So, I have 3 Ball Pythons, each "belonging" to one of my kids. Obviously, I am the Care Taker. The other night, I noticed that my middle bonus son's Ball Python Pacman's terrarium was ajar, which was of course unusual and concerning. Sure enough, I removed the hides and clutter and Pacman had gone off on an adventure. I spent the next days, searching and cleaning and organizing looking in every dark small hidey hole without any luck... As I am on my way home after dropping my daughter off at school (she goes out of district and I can't drive so it's an hour each way on bus), my partner who swears he doesn't really care about the snakes (this is the same guy who said that and when we had an ice storm, lost power for 3 days I was worried about their care told not to worry about it, they're just snakes only to come down to find he was full of BS and had set up the generator for camping outside and had plugged in all snakes, a little heater and a light because the kids were scared of the dark). Well, he was about to leave for work when my daughter's rain coat she doesn't like Moved and suddenly Pacman popped out his head, like "Hey dad, I'm ready to go with you!" So, he put him away and sent me a picture of him back in his enclosure... Well, unfortunately while he was out he has obviously decided to shed and is a little dehydrated, so I have bumped up his humidy and helped get some of the stuck shed off. For those wondering he's a Super Pastel Pinstripe Orange Dream Fire.

Cleo is an Indoor only kitty. However, she loves sitting in the window behind the couch for all the sunshine. However, it's pouring rain and we got severe weather warnings in effect. She seems to think it's my fault for it and that she cannot have the morning sunshine. We're just on the line of the Red area. They're calling for Thunderstorms and Rain until Tuesday and I have a feeling that Cleo will be holding a grudge towards me until the sunshine returns.

So, went to Tim Hortons and outside was this beautiful dilute (Blue Cream) Calico. So, of course I spent a few minutes getting Love from her. I don't think she'd have appreciated me putting her in my truck and driving over 30 minutes, plus my partner says that we already have enough animals with 3 kids, 3 Ball Pythons 2 cats and a German Shepherd 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Cleo, the chocolate Sphynx x Havana Brown and her daughter, Black and White Tuxedo. I was cleaning up the house, and Cleo was super lovey dovey for attention and pets, trying to distract me. Meanwhile, her daughter Zora who is usually the one up in everyone's business for all the attention was nowhere to be seen. I thought she was up in my daughter's room sleeping in her bed. However, she wasn't when I went to check. Instead, she had managed to wiggle out the bedroom window and sneak outside on what I call the mini roof. She had managed to push it open it enough to slip out. I used a little food in the diah and lured her in, and closed the window, trapping her back inside. The look says it all. I believe Cleo was the distraction, so I wouldn't notice.

My sister took in a cat that another wasn't in a position to keep. Since we grew up being a local dump for unwanted pregnant cats growing up, my mom often had 2-5+ litters and found homes for every single mom and kitten we had. At 11 years old, I got my cat Peaches, a blue cream Tortie runt born in my hand. At 11 years old, she had a stroke and died in my arms. I swore that someday I'd have another. Well, tonight my sister sent me videos of the kittens currently being born. She's supervising and checking each one. So far there are two, a solid grey and a dilute (Blue Cream) Tortie. Of course, my partner is adamantly saying No. We ONLY have 3 Ball Pythons, 2 cats and a German Shepherd 😂.... I am the one solely responsible for the animals. He says that there's no way to change his mind. 😭😭😭

My best boy, Mayday. Sound asleep and yet his tongue is in and out, he's sound asleep and so cute 🥰

So, as some may recognize, this is Mayday and he is my Service Dog. I've had him since 10 months old and trained him as such. He is 2 and a half years old now and does Great. Very focused usually, friendly, ignores everything when he should, etc. However, yesterday I noticed him just a bit off of his usual. That morning, he noticed another dog (he's kind of apprehensive again, as I always have to redo his training as we live surrounded by small dogs who are often on extension leads who bark out of control running towards him). So, I tell him to leave it. He is oddly"Puffed" up not aggressive, still sitting, but very attentive and not 1000% his usual. Ok, he's still a puppy brain and a teenager. Hours after, we go to pickup my daughter from school and he's still kind of off on himself, slower to respond to his commands, not as attentive. We just had a 4 day long weekend (kids' had a day off Friday and Monday was a Holiday here in Canada), so he needs a bit of a refresher just to get himself back on track. Well, this morning we were running really late for the bus (my daughter goes to a school out of district, so I take the city buses), so I didn't have time to bring him, so I left him home. Well, the same dog and owner were there and since I didn't have Mr. Blockhead, I decided to chat with her and ask if her dog is Spayed 🤣. Yea, that felt weird. So, turns out that she isn't and explained to her that I usually have the SD with me and she had seen us many times and hadn't even realized he wasn't being as behaved as usual because she sees how well he is. I knew something was off, and as interesting as his treats are, apparently they don't complete with the scent of a Girl 🤣🤣🤣 to a teenage boy.

I told her she was Beautiful and the roses suited her... The audacity of giving praise! I've had previous Torties (I love them, but the CDS has not brought another to me!). However, I believe the Sass may be from either the Havana Brown or the Sphynx side of her Genetics (which, unlike most cats, the vets actually take into because specifically Sphynx can have genetic problems). She'll be 5 in August and I think she still hasn't fully forgiven me for taking her to the vet to be spayed! 😂😂

Thanks everyone for advice. I did finally find one and of course, my partner then worried that he'd see ALL stuffies as his to play with, and Mayday has proven him wrong lol. He plays only with his, lays with it etc. I got it about a month ago or so, and he hasn't harmed it at all. Even when he shakes it or anything, it's usually only for a second or two before he's laying down with it. He didn't really want me taking pictures of it 😂😂😂.

Mayday is my Service Dog, our family dog and my daughter's Watch Dog. He's a German Shepherd. However, Tuesday seemed to bring doubt he's 100% GSD. Took him to my daughter's Highland Dance practice. He is still young of course, and everything is a learning moment, not just for him. Usually, I take the buses and my partner picks us up after her lesson. However, he is a Tow Truck driver and well, they come with Unpredictability. That was one of those nights. Her lesson is 6-7pm and usually he's finished at that time. However, a late call came in and he had to work late. Knowing buses meant getting home really late, I decided to take my daughter to eat and wait for him. Our original plan was to give him our daughter and I take the buses and would be home just before 11pm. Well, I had another Bad driver earlier that day with a driver who attempted to not allow me to board, threatened to call the police AND swore at me in English and French, and call me a B!tch, o was Already on the phone with the Bus Company. However, my partner was worried because the bus home would have been the last one and he really didn't want to get our daughter asleep only to have to wake her back up, and rescue me. So, he said see if he can get in, and has room. Mayday, managed to get in and fit. Then proceeded to curl up in a funky sit against me calmly and safely. So, he brought us all with him. While driving, we discovered that Mayday managed to lay down and Fall asleep. So, now I am not certain, but I believe that he may have some FERRET or WEASLE in him 😂😂😂. He's probably between 90-100lbs now as he's gained both weight and muscle since his last weigh in around his 2nd birthday in October and was 80lbs.
