I am more than a tad miffed with Ma and the Bro.
They left the niece and me home with Dad and went to the ranch alone. No swimming for us!!!
Their excuse was they wanted to put the robot in the pool for the first time while they were weeding. Said they couldn’t leave us in with it in case we got strangled.
Now granted they were away for six hours so that might have been a tad too long for us to paddle as Ma was on a mission.
She achieved her goal of pulling every thistle out of the flower beds. She always has to have a very specific target. It’s really hard to live with!!
They cooled off with occasional dips and must have pulled ten thousand thistle.
They brought one giant bag of them back here to trash. It filled the entire trunk of the car.
There are plenty more left in a pile back at the ranch.
The robot worked hard too climbing and diving all afternoon.
What we thought was missing paint on the pool floor turned out to be soil.
Since everyone needs a personal R2-D2 they decided to officially make it a pet.
Given that we are three males in the household it has been given female gender. Ma says it’s appropriate as mostly women do the detailing.
They also worked on a name. The Bro came up with the best one CONSUELO the cleaner!
So we are now officially a family of three humans and three pets.
I fervently look forward to frolicking with the new addition sometime very soon.
