This weekend we painted the deck railing which was in bad shape. Mom FORGOT to take a before photo. First the old paint got scraped off, then the wood had to be sanded and after about an hour of that mom said let’s go buy a power sander. OMG!! I LOVE power tools! For some reason mom does not like me to use them though. In fact she made me stay in the house the whole time including the painting part!  There were two cans of exterior paint that came with the house and they looked like the right color except the paint on the railing had faded a lot. Then after she opened a can and mixed it up and started painting it looked really red and the railing is brown. Then ha ha ha this is so funny!!! after she was all done and putting the paint away she noticed that the other can was a different color!!!  Instead of “Sun Dried Tomato” she used “Luscious Red” ha ha ha ha! So now the deck railing is two colors.

We found out that Dexter, in addition to having asthma, has kidney damage. So Dr. Beth says he is a hospice cat unless we can find someone who is interested in a Special Needs cat. He gets special food now so his kidneys will last longer. He’s sure a good cat and we are happy to  have him as a guest for the rest of his life.
