0702 Arri at night with glowing collar
July 2
We’re at the lake! Emily and I got up and loaded the car for a fun 4th of July weekend in Granbury. The trip got off to an eventful start, too! As it usually goes with trips to the lake house, where was some cleanup to be done when we arrived. This time, the fridge was completely molded over, one of the water heaters wasn’t working, and Emily found what she thought was a fishing lure in the sink. After running some water over it, she very quickly discovered that it was actually an 8 inch long centipede! I have never heard Emily scream louder.
As I tried to coax the little guy down the drain, Emily grabbed a jug of bleach in panic and sloshed it all over the poor thing. As he writhed around, Emily continued scurrying all around the kitchen. Using a spoon, I finally got him to start moving down the drain (there had been a mesh cover over it before). He got about half of his body down the drain before Emily flipped on the disposal. With a loud POP, the centipede exploded all over the sink. At least he probably didn’t feel it.
As we finished cleaning things up, McCall arrived and we finally got to just hang! She brought some hilarious beer called Montucky, which tasted exactly like you think it did.
As the sun started to sink below the horizon, we switched on Arri’s new collar. Now we can let her run around at night without losing track of where she is! I think she likes it.
