Casey and the Art of Feng Shui

We adopted a lab mix puppy last July and named him Casey. Casey has decided that the Feng Shui in our backyard just isn't working so he spends his days landscaping. This mostly involves digging holes . . . everywhere. His current project is near our front gate which unfortunately is where all the wires for our sprinker system, satellite dish, telephone and cable run. We noticed that he's down to the wires so I ran to Home Depot on Saturday to get dirt and paving stones. The bags of topsoil weren't too bad but the stones were HEAVY! Not only did I drop one on my finger (which hurt like hell!) but I've done something to my back from all the lifting. I feel a bit better today after spending lots of time on the floor yesterday with my legs elevated. I really need to get this fixed before my run in two weeks. My back tends to get a bit sore when I run longer distances and I really don't want to start out sore. I had to stop every two miles during my run yesterday and stretch my back.

It's raining today so hopefully Casey will decide to take the day off before he starts his latest project - whatever that's going to be.
