Sprinkler Blowouts For Tuesday, October 7, 2025

We’re taking the show on the road today—laptop and all—as we head up to Garden Valley with our two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Paisley. It’s vet day for her: shots and a spay appointment at our favorite clinic up there. I’ll be keeping an eye on our text messages and route progress as best I can between pit stops and puppy eyes.

The appointment’s at 8:15 a.m., which means leaving at the crack of yuck to make it on time. While Paisley’s in surgery and recovery, we’ll probably camp out at the Garden Valley library for a few hours before heading back to Meridian. If all goes as planned, we should be back by around 3 p.m.

Meanwhile, our almost six-month-old Saint Bernard pup, Ziva, is going to be wondering where her sister went. Those two are practically joined at the hip—except for the occasional trip to the groomer.

The first day out didn’t exactly go according to plan—but then again, the first few never do. The day kicked off bright and early at 6:24 a.m. with a text from one of our techs letting us know he was quitting and would be returning his work phone. He didn’t even make it to his first blowout.

After handling a few other minor curveballs, we finally hit the road. And honestly, for all the early-morning chaos, the day turned out pretty well for the start of the season.

I’ve got plenty more I could add, but since I have to be up at the crack of yuck, I’m going to cut this one short and just roll with the route. I know, I know—you’re all heartbroken that I’m not dazzling you with my wit and charm tonight. 😂 Then again, maybe that’s a blessing!
