Mark of Tri-County Pump got us back up and running early this afternoon. The old pump had lived 20 years - way beyond the expected lifespan - so we now have a brand new pump. And best of all, we have water again. I can wash my hands whenever I want and no more hauling buckets of water into the house!
In addition to his human assistant, Mark brought his two chihuahuas and his young chocolate lab (Luda) with him. The little tan chihuahua sisters were trotting through the carport when I went out to meet Mark. Luda was in a crate in the back of the truck. I heard him whining and asked about him - Mark wondered if it would be ok to let the dog out. Of course it was ok! Luda made a beeline for our pond - as any water-loving lab would. He ran circles around the property - full of bouncy energy and joy - and he splashed around in the pond a few times. I pulled out one of Magpie's tennis balls for him. I kept Magpie in the house, she's not too sure about strangers, so she was better off staying inside.
Never one to miss a photo opp, I grabbed our little digital camera (as opposed to exposing my D-SLR to a wet and enthusiastic dog) and got some nice shots of Luda eyeing the coveted tennis ball.
I only got photos of one of the chihuahuas, but there's a photo of them with Mark and his wife on this page of their web site.
glad you have water now. nothing worse when you can't have clean water, don't realize how much you use until its gone.
ReplyDeletethat is one nice looking lab :D Our lab never got to see much water, but when he did we had such a hard time getting him out of it lol
So glad you got your water back Ann! Love the photos of the Lab. Wow, you are a very talented photographer! He is a handsome fellow and little Chihuahua looks like she has seen a few years. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than no water!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Lab photos! I think I owned the only Lab growing up that was afraid of water!
