Not sure what it is with the links. I think the Amazon website links work, but the mobile app links get blocked.
 
Ugh... Procurement. I started trying to get my water meter vendor switched back in June. It's passed through 3 different procurement agents now and each one asks the same thing and I have to re-answer the same questions over and over.

Last link worked great Tim thank you!
 
So for me, I put all pumps and powerheads on smart plugs, I put my Plank feeder on a smart plug, and any lights that aren't app controlled are on smart plugs.

Pumps and powerheads allows me to turn them on and off for water changes, spot feeding, etc. lights are pretty much self explained.
 
Finished my last meeting. Time to go get ready for some pickleball this evening?
 
Just finished taking the dogs out so they can run their hearts out for the last time for awhile...
I aways hated doing it and putting the cone on but it’s best for the long run. My current dog was a rescue at 11 months old and he had already had them removed and was chipped.

Good vibes to you and the pups. They'll be back to normal in no time.
