Breaking Up is Hard to Take

The song goes, "They say that breaking up is hard to do..." and I say that things breaking up is hard to take. Supposedly problems come in threes and I hope that's right. When we moved in, things were all working and we used them several times.

1. Ed noticed a water trail across our driveway and discovered our hot water heater was leaking. Getting a new one was our only option.

2. The dishwasher was fine until two days ago when the cancel button light started flashing and it wouldn't run. The manual said if that happens, it's a disaster. The repairman said it's something with the electrical board and has ordered parts.

3. Mary's teeth were functioning well until out of nowhere a molar broke. She got crowned on Friday, which wasn't cheap!


Hopefully, that'll be the end of things breaking for now!!

Cha-CHING! That's depressing.

If you want something to laugh at, Seymour has learned to climb over the special gate. It didn't take him long to find the dogs' water dispenser. First he was snorkeling in the dish part, then he was paddling the water out with his front paws. We had a flood in the kitchen in short order! Now the dogs have a water bowl that is easily put up when Seymour is on the loose.

What a funny visual image! I didn't know ferrets swim.

The dish part of the dispenser isn't very big or deep, but wouldn't you call it snorkeling when Seymour sticks his whole head into the water? Ferrets really do swim--a friend used to put his (many)ferrets into his above-ground pool one at a time on hot days. I've put my ferrets into the tub for bathing and let them swim a little. They seemed to enjoy it.
