Anyway.

New dog; who dis? That dog is actually an Americauna chicken, which is a Spanish Aracauna crossed with a Buff Orp. She's being bullied by the 'lorps, who are archetypal mean girls and masters of bitchery, so she's been hanging out on the front deck.

And also in the dogs' crate. And also in Cricket's doghouse, and the studio, and wherever else she feels like going, basically. She really wants to get in the house, but that's a nope.

Anyway. No, today has not improved in any material way from yesterday, but my mood is better. That might all change again tomorrow if there's no chance of getting anyone out by Tuesday to replace the well pump. Then again, if I don't bring in several grand in sales, no one's coming out to do it anyway. And the taxes are going to have to wait, penalties and late fees notwithstanding, because we need water.

There are basically two things folks can do to help:  Share our site, with a testimonial [link below]; or, if you're in the market for something? Now would be a really, really good time to buy. On top of the well pump and the tax payment, we are both going to have hideously expensive medical bills this week, and also an even more hideously expensive bill for annual chimney cleaning the following week [and we can't afford to cancel it, because scheduling is too far out; you know, kind of like trying to get a doctor's appointment anywhere in this country now].

All of this means, of course, that we still need shares, and we most definitely still need sales, several grand's worth of sales, until I can get everything covered that has to get covered [and that will be a good long while]. I don't get any breaks from that, either. Links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (new priorities, needed for Miika, and after refiling her meds we just can't swing it:  3-4 pairs of the fly traps [the second item on the list]); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

After such a grim year last year, and the first half of this one at least as bad, we urgently need to move 2025 onto a better footing, because taxes to this Nazi administration have already tapped us out and we still owe more anyway, so please share all of the links.
