We aren’t always doing fun things. Yesterday, Bruce took the truck to get the oil changed, fuel filter changed, oil filter changed, etc.
While Bruce was handling the truck stuff, I finished entering the numbers for our taxes. To get the final numbers, I had to call to find out how to get the ownership tax on the RV that we paid last year. (Bruce was unable to find the paperwork on it.) Fortunately, the state emailed it to me.
Once Bruce got back, we filed our taxes for both the Feds and Colorado. I told him that I really felt like I had accomplished something.
We did get out and walk around the resort. The weather was lovely and Nox enjoyed walking around with us. Once Nox was ready to go back home, Bruce and I checked out the inside of the lodge and bar.
It started raining in the evening, starting with a light rain. The rain turned into an intense thunderstorm. We lost power several times, but it came back quickly. Nox doesn’t like the growling world and needed to held until the thunderstorm passed.

Lovely views and congrats on getting taxes done. We have had two dogs that had thunderstorm anxiety, but imagine trying to hold a Siberian Husky and a lab. 🙂

Thanks, it feels great to be done with taxes for a year! Your poor dogs! Do they hide?

Sam did, but he’s been gone years now. Abby (still with us) is much better now, but she would usually get on the bed with me or with son and then was fine. She was abandoned as a pup and outside a while, and in Mississippi, that generally means exposure to a thunderstorm.

At least she has a way to get comfort from the growling world!

Do weighted blankets work for dog anxiety?

I know weighted blankets work for some dogs. I know some of my friends use the an anxiety vest for dogs. We just have Nox cuddle up to us and she is happy.

We had an intense thunderstorm last night. I enjoyed the fireworks, since there were no children or dogs here. I don’t think grand-dog Sadie was frightened of storms.

Since we are on top of a hill, Nox wasn’t the only one who was a bit nervous.

I don’t blame anyone for being nervous about weather. My weather hid behind a row of mountains.

It is always a relief to get the taxes done! I am still working on ours. ugg. Will you have a different state of residency for 2022?

I’ll have to file taxes for Colorado next year for 2022, but Florida doesn’t have any state income taxes, so I won’t need to worry about it for 2023 taxes
