We have a dog. When most people see him they say, "that's not a dog, that's a horse!" Yea. Tell me about it. I refer to him as Thor the beast. So far while Isaac's been gone Thor has manage to dig holes, poop everywhere ( I tried to scoop the poop once. I was out there for 3 hours and barely put a dent in it. I never tried again), tear down Isaac's slide, drag the grill off the patio, chew lil Isaac's doors and windows off his house, and ....drum roll please..... chew up the air conditioner wires not once, not twice, but three times! Ugh! The first time it happened my landlord called an air conditioner guy (we have the nicest land lords ever), the second time he fixed it, the third time...wait for it, wait for it.... I DID! I know to some it may be a small feat but to me it is huge! I never fix anything. My sweet hubby talked me through it step by step on skype. But I did go to Lowe's and get the right parts, come home switch off the breakers, put the wires back together, put on the caps, and electrical tape. I do have to say a special thanks to my sisters. They are always there for me and I called them in the morning to literally cry myself through the situation. Here's how the convo went later with Isaac on skype:
He tells me about his good day and what he did. Then he says, "how was your day babe?"
Me: *cue the tears* I woke up and Thor broke through a second chain in 48 hours. He tore up the air conditioner wires again. I am not calling the land lord. I am soooo embarrassed. *hiccup* And he tangled me in his chain and now my legs have scratches, welts, and bruises. *sob*. My legs hurrrrrtttttt and I can't wear a dress to greet you in b.c. they are ugly! *more tears, hiccup* (that was for dramatic effect, my poor husband).
Anywhoo, super exited that I was able to fix it. Not only that I put a board in the way and dragged Isaac's chewed up house to block it if the dog breaks through chain # 3. Tomorrow I am going to get some pepper packets and duct tape them to the outside of the air conditioner unit. My prayer is that God grant me the patience to put up with Thor the beast for just a little while longer.
